Chalmers Plumbing

I recently used Chalmer's Plumbing services and I must say that I was very impressed with their level of professionalism, competitive pricing, and expertise in resolving my kitchen sink clog issue. David, the plumber who assisted me, was not only friendly but also knowledgeable, and took the time to explain to me what caused the clog and how to avoid similar problems in the future.

David arrived on time and was well equipped to handle the job. He was quick to identify the issue and came up with a solution that didn't require any major repairs or replacement of parts. David's pricing was very reasonable, and he worked efficiently to complete the job in a timely manner.

After the job was done, David provided me with some helpful tips and advice on how to keep my kitchen sink running smoothly. Overall, I was very satisfied with Chalmer's Plumbing and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of plumbing services.

We had a plumbing emergency. The initial plumber said to fix everything it would cost almost 9000. In desperation I messaged other plumber on yelp. David said it sounded like way too high a price and agreed to come out for a free estimate. He knocked it down to 4800. David did a terrific job, not just with the plumbing but getting the permit and everything squared away and getting the job done professionally. He was also very kind and patient. I recommend Chalmers Plumbing to anyone.

The water service line to our was broken outside the foundation and leaking in to the basement.  Chalmers reacted quickly and under terrible weather conditions excavated 6' below grade to find and repair leak.  It was reassuring that they understood my concern and treated the repair as an emergency.  
I would highly recommend Chalmers for all your plumbing requirements.  Don't waste your time calling everyone you find in your google search.  Just call Chalmers and just watch them make it happen.

This guy gave me the best prices quote for my washer box replacement and valve replacement. Easy communication! We've had a lot of contractors here after purchasing a new home. He was the first to clean up after himself. I was impressed. I followed him out to close the garage door. It's been having issues refusing to close. He jumped out of his truck and gave me a hand, just to be a nice guy. To be clear this was an existing problem not the result of him being here. I probably would have paid someone $150 to come out and fix, but he just went the extra mile. I'm just tickled we found Chalmers!

The guy that fixed the shower was amazing. I wasn't able to pull the middle part of the shower and I am glad that he was able to come over and fix the problem.

Responsive, honest, and efficient in solving our water heater issue. Will be calling them first next time.

Thank you David!  I had a backed up main line and David came out timely and the best quote for the job to rod the line.  David explained as he was working and also guaranteed his work for 6 months!

Service was quick, professional and didn't break the bank like some other quotes I received.  Will call David again for my plumbing needs!

We called Chalmers on a Friday morning for a little leak under our sink we had just noticed. We have only been in our place for a little over a month.  Left a voicemail. He called back within the hour!  We were busy so played phone tag a bit. He didn't give up. Thank you!  He came out Saturday morning, on time.  Tried to fix our leak a less expensive way first. (thought that was good) It did get a little more detailed but he was quick, efficient and very reasonable! Professional.  Highly recommend!  We are glad we found our plumber on the fist try moving to a new area!
We hope we don't need you often but your our guy! Thank you.

Since moving into This Old House 2 1/2 years ago we've found issues left and right that needed fixing.   For almost that entire length of time, our upstairs toilet was out of commission.  The downstairs one always had to have the handle held to flush completely.  Also we discovered a leak in the basement everytime we flushed it.   The kitchen faucet was constantly leaking.  The basement laundry basin was nonfunctional and in recent months the upstairs sink kept getting clogged.    In short it was a mess.

Of course we had to prioritize that against old gutters, inefficient windows, an old radiator, and general maintenance.   To top it off I was laid off last September.   So money of course was as Simply Red would sing..too tight to mention.    Yep showing my age.

Things thankfully turned around for the time being and we finally were able to tackle the plumbing this summer.

I searched Yelp and Chalmers was among the three I reached out to.   One I didn't hear back from and Chalmers and another company reached back saying to contact for more details.

I read the Yelp reviews of the remaining contender and those scared me off.  I saw Chalmers had all positive  (albeit only a few).  

I took a chance and am glad I did.  David was courteous on phone as I detailed all that needed to be done.  I scheduled a free estimate and he came by promptly as D showed him our situation.

The price he came back with seemed pretty fair so I agreed to have him do the work.    He finished everything on my laundry list within 2 hours.   It ended up for the toilets that both had shoddy work on the wax ring which caused the leaking.    Replacing the toilets and putting the wax ring properly solved the leaking issue.  He was very professional and through during the whole visit.    And I was very pleased with the results.

David's the real deal.  If you need any kind of plumbing work, take a chance on him.   Flush the rest...LOL.

Showed up on time. Did the job professionally and precisely. Fairly priced. Wore shoe covers on the hardwood floors. I would recommend him to anyone in the NWI area. As a matter of fact I will be looking to use him again soon 5 stars

It's difficult to find a qualified, honest plumber. But, now that has changed! We had a slow running laundry tub drain.  After getting to response from the big rooting companies, we found Chalmers with good Yelp reviews. I submitted a quote request and heard back within minutes.  So far, so good!

He indicated he could come out at anytime without any overtime fees. Since this was not an emergency, we agreed on a mid afternoon appointment, which was the same day of the request.  

He arrived and immediately tackled the problem.  Routed the slow moving drain.  Fixed it with no issues.  We had him then look at a couple of other minor things. Fixed those and provided good recommendations on what to do with an intermittent dripping kitchen faucet.

Now, here's the main thing that differentiates Chalmers from other plumbers I have used. His estimate was fair and he stuck to it. And, he charged a nominal amount to look at the other things we asked him to resolve.

Chalmers has earned us as a loyal customer. Thank you for the best plumbing service ever!  If anyone is reading this review and is looking for an honest, fair and qualified plumber, look no further!

Fast, Friendly and a fair price what more could you ask for. Our main sewer line was clogged I tried renting a rodder and doing it myself and after 3 hours it just wasn't powerful enough. He had it cleared in about a half hour. Save yourself the time and hassle and just call him first.

David did an excellent job, start to finish. He was quick to respond to my request for an estimate and scheduling an appointment to look at the issues (two dripping faucets & a slow filling toilet tank). He gave me a fair price and scheduled an appointment to do the actual work in a reasonable time-frame. Both faucets hadn't been worked on in ages, so they gave him a considerable fight, but he was tenacious & got them both replaced - even with my dog sticking her nose into the middle of the process repeatedly to 'help' him. Both faucets are now drip-free and the toilet tank refills in no time. Plus, he did a great job making sure there was no mess left behind. I couldn't be more pleased with his work! David is now my go-to plumbing guy!

Was the lowest quoted price to install my new toliet.  Chalmers was at my house the next day on a Saturday.  They were profesional, curtious, and even protected their shoes when entering my home.

Dave is great - responsive, knows what he is doing -a true professional with reasonable prices.    We strongly recommend  Chalmers!

The plumber I last used was very good, but he does not work on Saturday.  I did not want to wait until Monday because the drain I had a problem with was the laundry tub drain that my water softener and iron filter also use.  I already pulled the tub out and when my hand snake could not clear the drain I called Chalmers after I saw the very good reviews on Yelp.  He gave me an estimate for rooting the drain over the phone and I told him to do the job.  He came out within a few hours, cleared the drain and charged exactly what was quoted.  The 60 day free rooting service warranty for the same drain was a nice warranty they offer.  I would highly recommend Chalmers for 24 hour or any regular plumbing service.  I can tell you who not to call.  You have probably seen their yellow billboards all over advertising 24 hour plumbing service.  If you do not mind giving someone all your money call them.  You will probably end up paying the monthly rent for one of their billboards after you pay the bill!

My mom's toilet was leaking and I called several plumbers for estimates. Chalmers was about half the price of several of them, and Dave said he could come out that day. He fixed the toilet and checked the sewer to make sure it was clear. Then he went down in the crawl space which is scary and gross to check out a wet area that I was concerned about. I was really worried that a recent bathtub renovation was causing extensive water damage, but he immediately identified a leak from the other toilet and replaced the seal. The total charge for two toilets was the price for one from other estimates. Dave was very nice, honest, and professional, and we will definitely use him for all our plumbing needs in the future.

Refreshing!!  Quick responses, professional, fair pricing and quality work!  Wow, great for this region!  Dave was courteous and knowledgeable. From inquiry to completion a consummate pro. He replaced a shower faucet cartridge for me. I couldn't have been happier, it was just an all around great experience!  Keep up the great work!!!

Called Chalmers Plumbing after being completely no-showed by another plumbing company and I couldn't have been happier with my decision.  Dave came right out within a couple hours and was able to replace my broken hot water heater the very next day.  He's professional, courteous, quick to respond, very fairly priced, and stands by his work... everything you could want from a plumbing business.
