Plainfield's Plumber for Underground Line Work
Leto Plumbing & Heating, Inc. is a licensed, family-owned plumbing and HVAC company serving Plainfield, IL and Will County, from underground line work to a burst pipe at midnight. Richard Leto founded the company in 2002, and we don't subcontract: the person who answers is the person who shows up. We have a 4.8-star rating across 53 Google reviews. Call (815) 609-3150 for a straight answer on what needs to happen and how fast we can get there.
Plainfield has century-old farmhouses with galvanized supply lines (common before 1970), mid-century ranches with aging cast-iron drain stacks, and newer subdivisions near Joliet with PEX or copper supply and PVC drains, where hard water is already wearing on fixtures and water heaters.
Underground Work
When the Problem Is Below Grade
Site Assessment First
We locate underground utilities and check soil conditions before digging. Plainfield's freeze-thaw cycles shift soil in ways that affect pipe slope and depth.
Precise Excavation
We dig only enough to expose the problem, protecting your landscaping, hardscape and the surrounding soil.
Backfill and Restoration
Proper compaction keeps the ground from settling unevenly. No mound left behind.

What Plainfield Homeowners Actually Call Us For
Plumbing and HVAC under one roof, so you're not coordinating two contractors.
Pipe Repair and Repiping
Pre-1970 homes often have galvanized lines that rust from the inside. Pressure drops or rust-colored water? We weigh a targeted repair against a copper or PEX repipe.
Water Heater Replacement
Hard-water sediment burns out elements and kills tanks early. We install tank and tankless water heater systems and lay out the tradeoffs.
Drain Cleaning
Old cast-iron lines catch debris. We auger most clogs and hydro-jet when a line needs a full flush. More on spring drain care on our blog.
Sump Pump Service
April snowmelt and rain flood basements fast. We install and repair sump pumps, including battery backups. When Craig Latto's sump line froze solid on a sub-zero weekend, we got there.
Sewer Line Service
Tree roots invade sewer laterals in established neighborhoods. Slow drains, gurgling floor drains or sewage smells mean inspection, clearing or replacement. See our trenchless sewer repair article.
Furnace and Heating Service
When Larry Howard's furnace went out on a cold morning, Chris had it running in under an hour. We handle furnace repair, replacement and heating system installation, at any hour.

Kathy WendellWritten on behalf of my mom Annie: I am very satisfied with Chris Leto's service. He addressed the issue quickly and professionally. Charged a fair price.
Alvin KIn 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!

Simon SongLeto 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.

Ted KawczynskiVery 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.
