About
Cook County Leak Repair provides free plumbing repairs for income-eligible residents in suburban Cook County who own or rent their homes and have old or leaky plumbing.
The program addresses inefficient or outdated plumbing fixtures, such as leaky faucets, running toilets, and showerheads, which can lead to high water bills. It can also support those with larger plumbing leaks and may be able to help some residents with past-due water bills.
