Services available

Electrical and plumbing help for homes, businesses, and managed properties.

You do not need to diagnose the problem before contacting Sims & Sons. Describe what you are seeing, hearing, smelling, or trying to accomplish, and the team can help determine the right service path.

Electrical services

Residential electrical work is the primary focus, with commercial electrical service also available. Common requests include troubleshooting, repairs, panels and circuits, outlets and switches, lighting, installations, safety concerns, and applicable inspection-report or code-correction work.

Plumbing services

Residential and commercial plumbing requests can include troubleshooting and repairs, leaks and water-supply concerns, fixtures, drains, hot-water systems, pipes and valves, remodeling connections, inspections, corrections, maintenance, and urgent concerns.

Property-specific service

The right solution depends on the building in front of us.

Chicago-area properties can differ substantially even on the same block. Building age, previous alterations, electrical capacity, wiring methods, plumbing layout, equipment, fixtures, access, and property use can all change the correct scope of work.

Sims & Sons may work with homeowners, condominium owners, landlords, property managers, buyers, sellers, real estate professionals, and commercial property representatives. For a rental, condominium, managed, or commercial property, include any access or authorization details that may affect the visit.

That property-first approach is also why the site asks for the real service address instead of assuming that every property in a city or ZIP code has the same availability or service needs.

Inspection reports & corrections

Have a code violation, correction list, or inspection report?

Send the complete report or notice with the property address when possible. The document helps identify what the inspector reported and where the concern was observed, while the actual electrical or plumbing system still needs to be evaluated before a corrective scope and price can be confirmed.

Requesting service

Give us enough information to get you to the right next step.

A few useful details at the beginning can make coverage, service-fit, and scheduling confirmation much more efficient.

01

Provide the complete service address, including municipality, ZIP code, unit, or suite when applicable.

02

Describe the electrical or plumbing concern, what you have observed, when it began, and whether anything recently changed.

03

Share the complete inspection report, equipment information, or safe photographs when they help explain planned work.

04

Sims & Sons confirms coverage, service fit, urgency, and the appropriate scheduling or evaluation path before work is assumed available.

Urgent electrical concerns

Smoke, sparking, shock, burning odors, or unusual heat should not wait on an online estimate request.

If there is fire, significant smoke, electrical shock, or another immediate threat to life or property, leave the danger area and call 911 first.

For other active electrical warning signs—including sparking, burning odors, unusual heat, exposed energized wiring, or water affecting electrical equipment—keep a safe distance and call Sims & Sons at (312) 282-1170 instead of relying only on an online request.

Questions

Chicago-area service coverage questions.

Does Sims & Sons serve my address?

Use the service-area lookup on this page for a quick answer, then provide the complete property address when you request service. Coverage is confirmed by the actual service location, requested work, safety conditions, access, and scheduling—not by a city or ZIP code alone.

What parts of Chicago does Sims & Sons serve?

Sims & Sons serves customer properties throughout much of Chicago, with confirmed coverage primarily north of Roosevelt Road. Some community and ZIP-code boundaries cross the service boundary, so the complete street address is the best way to confirm availability.

Which suburbs and regions are in the Sims & Sons service area?

We serve selected communities across the North Shore and Northwest Suburbs, including Maine and Niles Townships. Find your community below or check your address; municipal and township boundaries sometimes overlap.

Can I check service availability using only my ZIP code?

Yes. A ZIP code is a useful first check, but it is not always a final coverage answer because ZIP boundaries can include more than one municipality or cross a service boundary. Use the complete property address when the lookup asks you to confirm or when the location is near a coverage edge.

Are both electrical and plumbing services available in every listed area?

We provide electrical and plumbing service for homes and businesses across our coverage area. Tell us where you need help and what is happening so our team can confirm availability and plan the next step.

Can Sims & Sons help with an inspection report or code violation?

Yes. Applicable electrical and plumbing inspection-report and correction work is available. Send the complete report, correction list, or notice with the service address when possible. The written finding helps identify the concern, but the affected system still needs to be evaluated before corrective scope and pricing can be confirmed.

Do you serve homes, rental properties, condos, and commercial properties?

Yes, depending on the address and requested service. Customers may include homeowners, condominium owners, landlords, property managers, buyers, sellers, real estate professionals, and commercial property representatives. Rental, managed, condominium, and commercial properties may require access or work authorization from the appropriate party.

Does a service-area page mean Sims & Sons has an office in that suburb?

No. Sims & Sons is a Chicago-based business that travels to customer properties. A listed city, suburb, township, or region describes customer-property coverage and does not represent a separate storefront, office, crew location, or map listing in every community.

What should I include when requesting electrical or plumbing service?

Provide the complete service address, your best contact information, what you are seeing or trying to accomplish, when the issue began, affected rooms or fixtures, and whether any warning signs are active. Include a complete inspection document, equipment information, or safe photographs when they help explain planned work.

What should I do if the electrical problem seems dangerous?

For fire, significant smoke, electrical shock, or another immediate threat to life or property, leave the danger area and call 911 first. For other active warning signs such as sparking, burning odors, unusual heat, exposed energized wiring, or water affecting electrical equipment, keep a safe distance and call Sims & Sons instead of waiting on an online estimate request.
