Oswego sits in Kendall County, where the Fox River floodplain and clay-heavy soils strain drains and sewers. Village water from deep sandstone wells is hard and builds scale in water heaters, supply lines and fixtures. Homes built before 1986 may have corroded connections where lead can enter the water, even though the supply tests clean at the source.

Hard Water Here Is a Real Problem

What Oswego's sandstone aquifer does to your plumbing.

Hard water builds scale in tank water heaters, tankless water heater heat exchangers, shower valves and fittings. A heater that lasts 10-12 years in a soft-water market may show sediment symptoms here within five or six. Regular hot water heater maintenance extends that life, and we will tell you on-site whether a flush still handles it.

Sewer Lines and Spring Drainage in Oswego

The Fox River and Waubonsee Creek have both flooded Oswego, and clay soils slow drainage even in moderate years, stressing sump pump systems and sewer lines every spring. Clay or cast iron sewer lines laid in the 1970s or earlier crack, take in roots and fail at the joints. Several slow drains, gurgling floor drains or basement sewage odor are worth a call. Our sewer service finds out what is in the line before recommending replacement.

Alvin KFeb 2026 · Google
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

What should I do if I have a frozen pipe during an Oswego winter?
Find your main shutoff before winter so you can close it fast. Warm a frozen line slowly with a heat gun on low or warm wet towels, never open flame. If you see a crack, shut off the supply and call (815) 609-3150. We answer after hours.
Does plumbing work in Oswego require a permit?
Yes, for most structural work. The Village of Oswego Building and Permits Department requires permits for moving or adding drain lines, vent pipes or water supply lines. We pull them on every job that needs one. Unpermitted work causes problems when you sell or file an insurance claim.
How do I know if my Oswego home needs repiping versus a simple repair?
Pinhole leaks in several places, rust-colored water or low pressure throughout the house point to the pipe itself. Oswego homes from the 1970s or earlier may have galvanized steel lines corroded from the inside. Repairing one section buys time. We'll tell you straight which makes sense.
Why is my water pressure low in my Oswego home?
Usually scale from the 13-grain supply coating aerators, valve cartridges and pipes. Check the faucet aerator first. Low pressure house-wide points to the supply line, pressure regulator or main shutoff. Our blog covers low water pressure causes.
