About Rescue Plumbing: A Chicago Success Story
From 3 Plumbers in Lincoln Park to Chicagolandβs #1 Emergency Team




Our Story
The Rescue Story: It Started with a “Gap”
Rescue Plumbing wasn’t founded by a corporation; it was founded by a plumber who was tired of the status quo.
In 2018, Benjamin Vance, a lifelong Chicagoan, noticed a frustrating trend in the industry: homeowners were waiting days for “emergency” service, getting hit with hidden fees, and dealing with technicians who didn’t care about their property.
Ben saw a gap in the market for a customer-centric, truly 24/7 plumbing service. He launched Rescue Plumbing in Lincoln Park with just three plumbers, one office manager, and a simple promise: “We show up when you need us, and we fix it right.”

Redefining the Chicago Plumbing Experience
In 2018, Benjamin Vance looked at the plumbing landscape in Chicago and saw a major disconnect. Homeowners were dealing with ’emergency’ services that made them wait days, hidden fees that appeared only after the work was done, and a general lack of transparency. Ben founded Rescue Plumbing to shatter that status quo.
He didn’t just want to build a company; he wanted to build a responsive force. His vision was simple but radical: a plumbing team that actually answers the phone at 2 AM, arrives when they say they will, and treats every clientβs home with the same respect they would their own. Under Ben’s leadership, Rescue Plumbing has grown from a three-man operation into Chicagoβs most trusted rapid-response team.

Deep Roots in Chicagolandβs Infrastructure
As a lifelong Chicago resident, Ben understands that our cityβs plumbing is as unique as its architecture. From the vintage lead pipes in historic Lincoln Park greystones to the complex overhead sewer systems required in North Shore basements, Ben knows that a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach doesn’t work here.
Ben has dedicated his career to mastering the intricacies of Chicagoβs specific building codes and infrastructure challenges. He instills this technical expertise in every apprentice and licensed plumber who joins the Rescue team. When you hire Rescue Plumbing, you aren’t just getting a repair; you are getting a solution engineered by a local expert who knows exactly how your home was built.
“I wanted to create a company that not only resolved plumbing issues but built lasting relationships. Being a Chicago native, I understand the unique challenges of our city’s infrastructureβfrom the vintage greystones in Logan Square to the estates in the North Shore. We built Rescue to handle it all.” β Benjamin Vance
