Aurora's Plumber for Pipes, Drains and HVAC

Leto Plumbing and Heating handles residential plumbing, HVAC, water heaters, sump pumps and sewer work in Aurora, IL. Richard Leto founded the company in 2002, and we answer the phone at 2 a.m. the same way we do at noon. We have 4.8 stars across 53 Google reviews and 24 years in the trade. Call (815) 609-3150 and we'll get someone out to you.

Aurora's water blends Fox River surface water with wells in the Cambrian-Ordovician Aquifer system, and its hardness builds scale inside water heaters and supply lines. The frost line here runs 42 inches deep, so outdoor spigots and shallow pipes are at risk every winter.

Local Reality

Older Aurora Homes and What Goes Wrong

In older Aurora neighborhoods like Near Eastside, Riddle Highlands, Westside and Stolp Island, that means galvanized supply lines, original cast-iron drain stacks, some undersized, and corroded valves. Galvanized pipe corrodes inside until pressure drops or water runs rust-colored. Older homes can still have lead or galvanized service lines, so we look and tell you straight. We've also replaced water valves where a seized shutoff couldn't stop flow in an emergency. If yours are original to a 1970s build, have them checked.

Permits and Process

Aurora Plumbing Permits: What the City Requires

Aurora's Building and Permits Division requires a permit for interior plumbing work, with inspections at set stages before drywall goes back up. The permit card and approved plans must be on site for inspectors, and we handle that. Requirements for smaller jobs like valve swaps, fixtures and spigots vary by scope, and we tell you upfront. Unpermitted work by someone else? We can assess it before you sell or file an insurance claim.

In February of 2026 I used Leto Plumbing & Heating on two occasions. First for an emergency after hours weekend call when my sump pump line was frozen during our recent sub-zero weather. The second was a routine maintenance call to flush my hot water heaters. Both times the individuals that came out were pros who were friendly, knowledgeable and got the job done right the first time. Would highly recommend!

Leto Plumbing has been servicing the plumbing and HVAC in our homes for many years. Rick and Chris, father and son, are amazing in every way. They are reliable, neat, courteous, and knowledgeable in all areas of plumbing and HVAC. They go out of their way to rush out to our home for needed repairs and new work. They may not be “cheap”, but you can rest easy that their work is top quality and will give you peace of mind. TFK St. Charles

Very happy with the service received by Leto plumbing. Starting with phone call made, very nice and was able to get us scheduled next day. Chris, technician, was earlier than originally expected (which was great), he explained everything, was very courteous and timely. Extremely happy with service provided and will be calling Leto for any future needs.

Frequently asked questions

My older Aurora home has low water pressure, what's usually causing it?
In homes built before 1980, galvanized supply lines are a common culprit, corroding inside until flow narrows. Hard water also builds scale in pipes and fixtures. We find whether it's the supply line, a failing valve or a fixture and explain the repair before we start.
Is a sump pump necessary for an Aurora home?
Downtown Aurora has documented flood risk, and the Fox River watershed plus spring thaw can raise groundwater fast. Low-lying basements take on water in heavy rain. A working pump with a battery backup is the most reliable defense. Unsure of your pump's age? We'll inspect it. See our sump pumps page.
Does Leto Plumbing service furnaces and HVAC in Aurora, not just plumbing?
Yes. When the furnace goes out in January, a frozen pipe is often part of the problem, so one company for both helps. Rick and his son Chris work across plumbing and HVAC. Call (815) 609-3150, or see our heating system repair page.
