MD Plumbing & Sewer

Don't hesitate to call this company! I had a leaky shower faucet at a rental property in prospect heights. The kind receptionist helped schedule an appointment.
Marc arrived soon after to fix the problem. He showed up on time and solved the problem in a very efficient manner. It didn't take him long he seemed to be very knowledgeable and equipped for the job. It was my first time using a plumber in a long time. I plan on using this local business anytime I have a plumbing issue and you should too.
Thank you MD Plumbing for helpful and  kind customer service reps and professional well trained technicians . Not all companies are easy to work with but at MD Plumbing & Sewer the experience couldn't have been any easier!

We received a bait and switch. We called around to find a plumber, as our sewer system was backing up into the parking lot. THEY told US they could rod out the sewer for 400.00. They came out and insisted we pay them a check on the spot. Then the guy told us that what he accomplished was nothing, that we had to have our sewer system sucked out and that he couldn't do it and we had to call another plumbing company. So I asked what he accomplished, and he said basically nothing. My conversation with him was to ask, now that you have done this rodding, the sewer will work? and he said no, it will back up to the parking lot just as before. so what did you accomplish? We did what you asked us to do. Is this the type of plumber you want to hire?

When we called the plumbing company, we were met with no response. All I have left at my disposal is to give them the review they deserve.

In early February our indoor flood control system was starting to backed up and needed to be rodded out. I contacted several plumbers until I found the right one.

The first plumber came and said it didn't need rodding. He poured several gallon of water in it along with some Pine Sol and charged us for his services. Less than two days later the same thing was happening. He could not do the job and refunded our funds.

Another plumber wanted to remove the toilet in order to rod out the sewer. When I asked him if he was bonded/insured he said no. I don't  have to tell you what happened there.

However, the day before the non-bonded guy was to come to our home I called MD Plumbing & Sewer because I didn't get a good feeling from the other guy over the telephone.

Upon calling MD Plumbing & Sewer, I spoke to Mark (the owner, I presumed) and after describing the problem he gave me a quote over the phone.

I explained to him that I had a guy coming already, he said if you don't feel comfortable about him just tell him you want a second opinion.

After the non-insured guy left our house I call Mark late Friday night after the other guy left our home. He asked me to contact the office Saturday morning after 10AM. I did, no answer however, before I could call them back the office called me.

Kim was very nice and asked me what day did I need the service. I replied how soon can they get here. We made an appointment for Monday between noon & 1:00. I called after 1:00 because no one had arrived or called to say they were running behind. I thought they'd forgotten the appointment.

Upon calling the office, I spoke to Kim, she apologized that no one had called me to say the guys we're running late.  After she spoke to the workers she informed me that they should arrive within the hour.

The workers, Gary & Tony arrived shortly before 2:00. They were done within 90 minutes.

The workers cleaned up as best the could knowing that we were going to do a complete and thorough cleaning, sterilization and disinfectant once they departed.

My husband stayed there with them, I couldn't take the smell. We are both very pleased with the work that was performed.

We would highly recommend MD Plumbing & Sewer. However, the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 stars is the tardiness without notification. Otherwise, we are very happy to know that we have finally found a plumber we can trust.

Great service at an affordable price. MD Plumbing goes above and beyond. I cannot recommend more highly.

Very happy with this company. This is the second time we've had them out and they showed up on time, clearly explained the issue and how they'd address it, and cleaned up when done. When a second crew was needed, they showed up before the first crew had even finished packing up their gear.

Awesome response excellent service reasonable priced
I recommend them to all my clients

When I bought my home, the kitchen sink had a nice feature where I could push the faucet handle, rather than lift the handle, in order to get purified drinking water. But that became a problem when I learned that the manufacturer has stopped selling the filter cartridges, and it looked like I might have to purchase a whole new faucet. Mark was able to adapt my faucet to a different kind of cartridge, and I am very happy with the results. Mark is a very efficient guy, so it was nice to find out that - when the situation calls for it - he can also be a creative problem solver.

Sometimes you're in a jam and need a competent plumber to help you through a small disaster. Someone that knows about plumbing needs, sump pumps or sewers and you kinda need'em in a heartbeat. It's in that moment that going with the wrong contractor or GC (general contractor) can cost you an arm and a leg. Calling any valid contractor (that is established and insured) outside normal business hours, ie after-hours can lead to extravagant costs. I mention this because it's something, I as a property manager & neighbor  have dealt with. (After hours or emergency service can sometimes be an additional cost on top of their repair costs. Some charge flat fees and others a percentage.) (I would NOT, nor should you, pay any uninsured contractor any emergency monies in the same case. If someone is uninsured and working anything on your property, their errors are now yours.)

In regards to MD plumbing, they offer affordable pricing and haven't yet gouged me in any a circumstance. So in my book I give'em high regard. I have gone with them a handful of times over the years. I like their casual approach with regards to customers. It's on a friendly and helpful level. Depending on the need, they could help or offer helpful advice.

I am very happy with MD plumbing and sewer today! When I called a few days ago they were very professional and scheduled me in quickly. Mark called ahead to let me know he was on the way. Since moving into another old house neither outdoor water supplys worked correctly.  One leaking into our laundry room and the other just trickling water. Mark arrived and first impression was wonderful. He was very pleasant and got right to work. He diagonosed the problem and had to run out to get a part which didn't take long. Total took about 1.5 hrs start to finish. I am so happy to have an outdoor water supply. Thank you Mark for saving my arms from lugging gallons of water from inside to water my plants! It was very affordable and I would definitely use him again.

Marc and his team are fantastic! They just did my entire historic home's plumbing efficiently and cost-effectively. They were part of the planning and problem solving in this total gut job and I couldn't have done it without them.
They've serviced my other homes for years, always there when you need them.

We've used MD plumbing a number of minor issues, ranging from repairing a frozen pipe, replacing a spigot, fixing a leaking toilet, routing a sewer drain and leak detection at a shower pan. They've been reliable and on time every time so far. The frozen pipe was an emergency, as it was a radiator heat line and we were losing heat fast.. risking further pipe freezes. They helped us out and didn't give us any sort of rush pricing hassle.

Bottom line, these guys are a good operation and I'll keep using them for our plumbing needs.

Do not hire MD Plumbing to install a pedestal sink.  Marc and his employees have proven themselves to be complete incompetents at this task.  His employee, Greg first attempted the installation without using a leveling tool.  This resulted in a sink basin that was obviously not level.  Greg and the other employee, Chris try to convince me that this was due to the imperfections of the sink surface.  On the second installation, Marc attempted to ensure the sink was level, but he did not remove the pedestal (that Greg caulked to the floor) and therefore failed to center the pedestal under the sink basin.  I've emailed Marc asking for a refund of this incompetent installation and he has been non-responsive.  MD Plumbing cuts corners and is deceptive.  Avoid them if you want work done well and with integrity.

Quick Summary:
Paid over $350 for having nothing accomplished except for the cause being determined.

Detailed Summary:
We called them for a clogged shower drain which turned out to be caused by ice - presumably in a trap somewhere. They sent 2 guys over who tried to get the ice to thaw over a 2-hour period. After their traditional methods failed, they suggested we make holes in our wall to thaw the pipe - which we respectfully denied (we have other showers so this seemed like complete overkill). They ended their visit with charging us $350 and stating that with patience and luck ice should melt. I don't know about you, but when I call a plumber then I'm really hoping they can resort to more than just luck. Of course I understand that we're being charged something, but $350 seems steep for zero progress.

I was able to thaw the ice myself using equipment I purchased at a local hardware store for less than $25 in less than an hour - and I'm not a plumber.

I contacted them to ask for a partial refund (I wasn't there when the work was done) and was promised a call back that never came - hence this review.

It's now been over 2 weeks and I haven't heard from them which tells me everything I need to know about this business. We won't be using them again in the future.

Update 11/11/17 woke up to the ejector pump going crazy and found a very flooded basement. No clue where the water was coming from but thought the ejector pump needed replacing. Called MD and cried about my emergency. Three hours or less later 2 plumbers were here to assess damages . In the meantime a neighbor told us a hose connection in the side yard was gushing water. Mark took time out of his family Saturday to stop by and see if everything had been taken care of AND called later that day to make some suggestions about getting the water out and dehumidifying basement.

I think 4.5 would be fair but I'm going to round up. These guys replaced my water heater and fixed some screwups that the original installers did. This changed the cost which I would have appreciated knowing prior, but Marc was great about talking me through it and he met me in the middle on price. He was professional and pleasant, and the guys in the house left my place clean.

I called them again this week for a faucet installation. I had bought the replacement and another company wanted to charge me $550 (!!!) to install it. MD Plumbing came out within a few days (my old one was still functional) and installed it in a half hour for $125. $425 saved and Kim at the office was great the whole time and the plumbers who did the work were nice and professional.

These guys are great, you won't regret it.

My garbage disposal stopped (dead). Two months ago! I called MD. The plumber told me how to fix it over the phone. RECOMMENDED!!! So nice to encounter someone like this. Thanks to those who recommended MD. I will call them for issues in the future

I'v used MD plumbing at my home and a two flat that I own. They are very reliable and know thier business. I just had Greg and Rick put a new wax ring on the toilet in my home. They were very professional and personable.  I highly recommend them.

WHO, makes house calls and gives estimates at no charge?

MD Plumbing, that's who!!!!

Awesome customer service, advice and real talk.

No dumb blonde chick suggestions or advice from these folks.
:)

Does great, affordable, clean work with no attitude. Real people, doing real work.

#ThankYOU

Chris came over to fix my bathroom sink after my botched attempt to change out the stopper for the sink. He fully changed out the pipes and made sure the stopper i installed was not leaking.
On time
Nice
Quick
Will use them again for future needs.

Responded to my phone call.
Was able to come within a day to fix the problem, which wasn't an emergency.  
Reasonably priced.
Would definitely use again.

Excellent service . Very cool guys . Extremely  reliable .  Totally reasonable pricing & the work is top-notch.

I wouldn't use anyone else in the area.
Had Marc, Paul, & Sean get it right fast & efficiently !

Recommended by our booked-up usual service company, but no reply after two days for a serious plumbing problem.  Most disappointed.

I needed to have a hot water heater put in.  My went out on Monday.  I called them and they told me they could put one in for me on Wednesday which was really not too bad.   Their price was excellent and the quality of their work is great.  They also were neat and cleaned up when they were done.   I definitely would recommend them  to anyone looking for a plumber and use them all the time now.

This was the third plumbing company I tried to contact this week, and the only one that answered the phone... AND they took care of my stopped up sink the same day. Really fantastic experience, friendly, no nonsense, very reasonably priced, would 1000% recommend them. Thank you MD.

I had an issue with drains in both bathrooms being clogged...I had a different plumber out yesterday who said the only way to fix the clogs was to hire a carpenter to cut a hole in our wall, and then they would have to come back to install something in the wall that would help get rid of the clog...my calculation was that was going to cost over $500, not to mention not being able to use the bathroom for awhile.  I called MD last night, and they were here this morning....they fixed the clog in 15 minutes!   Both sinks are working great; they were very professional, and very nice to deal with!  I don't usually write reviews, but, these guys deserve it!

Said he would be able to take a look at my problem during the following day's afternoon but didn't stop by and also didn't call to let me know he wouldn't be able to stop by after all. I had to call him and then he told me to text him a picture which he never responded to.  Not impressed.

Ok these guys just left my house. Very friendly no nonsense and gave me straight answers and straight forward advice. I didn't feel I was getting nickel and dimed like this other company who's name I won't mention here. This other company would manage to shake me down for some extra cash every time they come out. I didn't feel that way with these guys. MD Plumbing was great. Thanks Greg!

I had to have MD come back out today to replace a leaky faucet & repair a toilet that one of my kids biologically messed up. When I say these plumbers have hearts of gold, I mean it. They're so friendly, fast, expert quality, & so affordable that I will never hesitate to have them return to perform work. And when it's fixed, it's fixed, don't have to watch & worry. MD are the ONLY plumbers I can recommend. Every five stars review is spot on & very well deserved!!!

Our condo association hired this company to do a simple rodding job in our
Courtyard. Turns out we had disconnected pipes underground. Greg and Paul stayed from 10am to 7:30pm working on the
Problem (digging thru concrete 4 feet deep, trying to match 100 year old tiles to 2017 tile, etc). Can't say enough positive things about these two guys. Recommend this Company and specifically these two guys!

I had Sean and Paul out to my salon today to address issues with my pedicure stations. They listened to my concerns and formulated a plan and started working right away. Due to needing to order parts some issues couldn't be resolved. However,Sean even offered to research finding the part for my out dated pedicure station. How nice is that! So if your looking for professional,prompt, and knowledgable plumbing service these are the guys for you.

Got drips, clogs and cracked seats...MD can fix what ails you (or should i say your plumbing.)   The best plumbers I've ever used - they understand the nuances of geriatric plumbing.   Friendly, competent, and fairly priced.

Based on other reviews I called them when I had a leak that damaged the ceiling below the bathtub.  They quickly identified that it was a problem with the tub's faucet that was leaking because a washer needed to be replaced.  They didn't have the washer because it's a Toto brand faucet which isn't very common but they stopped the leak temporarily and came back the next day with the parts to repair the faucet.  

Second time we called we had a problem with a toilet that kept clogging.  We'd clear it and then it would come back the next day.  They took their time and made sure to check that the line was clear far into the system so that it wouldn't happen again.  It used to clog daily and it's been a few weeks without problems so sure they got the clog out.  They also were nice and put a new toilet seat that I had already purchased to replace a cracked one in another bathroom.  I had trouble getting the bolts loose so asked if there was a trick to it and they took care of in a few minutes.

I like that they are a small group of guys and Mark the owner clearly cares about providing good service.  

Deleted other plumbers from my contact list - they will be my first call next time my plumbing rebels or I want to install something.

I'm a Realtor, and in certain circumstances my clients need to get an estimate quickly to keep contract terms or in order to make a decision to move forward on purchasing a home. My clients decided to us MD because they were local in Skokie where the home they were looking to buy was located.  They could potentially offer information on sewers or certain blocks which had past flooding issues. The owner Mark seemed professional when my client set up the appointment. My client could not make the appointment, so I stepped in to meet The plumbers who were going to scope the sewers and estimate changing out galvanized pipe to copper.  

I received a phone call 5 minutes after our scheduled appointment that they would be 15 minutes late. Don't call me after you are late, I already know you are late. If you are telling me how late you will be, don't lie to me. Finally an hour after our scheduled appointment they showed up. No second call, no apology from the workers when they got there. Not good.

They scoped the drain, we looked at the pipes and I reiterated we needed the estimate for the interior pipes. My clients were planning to ask for a credit from the developer as this was not completed with the rehab. We needed to know how much to ask for, and need to back this up with a written estimate. When I wrote the check to pay the plumbers I asked how long till we received the estimate and stated by the end of the next day was fine, but no later.

It's over a week since I met them now and still no estimate or answer when I attempted to contact them. I had to cancel two of my own appointments that night due to their tardiness. The least they could have done was finish the job. As soon as I handed over the check I had a feeling they were just going to walk away and not finish the work supplying us with the free estimate as asked for.

I cannot recommend Mark or his plumbers as my experience left me feeling he is dishonest and unprofessional.  One would hope that when you pay a tradesman to do work, they would stand by their job and not disappear as soon as they get the check. Apparently if you want that type of service from a plumber you need to look else ware. I hope this review persuades you to do so.

I'm stingy with 5 star reviews (not everybody can be the best or it wouldn't mean anything), but MD Plumbing deserves every one of the five. Based on my experience with them, they are honest, efficient, and responsive, charging very reasonable rates.

Marc came when he said, and did not waste time, He realized he needed a specialty part, which turned out to be very expensive, so I decided to just buy a new faucet. Marc came on time and efficiently installed the faucet. He also made a repair to my bathroom pipes, but explained that I would eventually need to get the whole thing replaced.

I want to mention Kim, too; she's so nice. My life is a little complicated right now, so I needed some extra attention. Kim was very helpful and so patient with me and my many calls. She even returned calls when she said she would, which is rare these days.

Again this old house had a sump pump that decided to quit right after a day of punishing weather. At first we wanted an estimate, but after remembering the service & style of MD's last visit, I called them back and requested replacement. On a busy day they got here later in the afternoon and didn't waste any time. A personable 2-man crew installed the new pump and hooked it up. Cost-effective, same day, friendly and responsive. Mark and his team know what they're doing; so does the nice gal who handled our service calls.

Mark and his crew are fabulous as well as Kim in the office. We had our house re-piped with copper as having a cracked second floor main stack replaced all the way down, and they were just great. How often is a visit from the plumbers FUN? They do great work, very reasonably, and show up when they say. They will be at the top of our list if we ever need plumbing work.

Whom on god's earth would think wise to pay full price and be satisfied with the toil half done? I shall make this harrowing story short, I phoned  this establishment to come to my abode just for an estimate. Instead of an estimate or even the agreement of compensation work commenced on my pipes. Feeling something was awry I asked the busy bee and that's where I learned that it will be $125 for the visit and 30 minutes of work. Alas it is too late to back out I thought as i found refuge in the fact that the work would be accomplished. To my dismay and halfway through the task the laborer packed up and made motions to leave. His reasoning: the job was going to require more time and possible destruction of what I called to have fixed. Good riddance to incompetence because after the paid laborers retreat I rolled up my sleeves and engaged my brain to finish the job that bested MD Plumbers. I accomplished this complex task that the trained pipesmith ran in 15 minutes and Home Depot trip. This was not a plumber who's number I'll shall be utilizing nor should you dear reader.

Yes, I totally agree with other comments posted.

We had kitchen sink leakage so I called MD Plumbing before 9am. Marc answered the call and took down my number and address. He promised to call back with 30 minutes once he checks his appointment schedule for the day so he can firm with me the actual time for the repair.

I got a call from his assistant Kim little bit after half an hour. Kim told me that Marc can stop by between 11-11:30. So I gave the address again and other instructions.

By 12pm, my leakage is fixed and the cost is very reasonable.

Thanks Marc, Kim!

Literally as good as it gets.  I called MD Plumbing during the most recent snowfall for a backed up drain in our laundry room.  We must have gotten at least five inches, and MD was busy for sure.  They made time for us (same-day!) and stopped by in the mid-afternoon to start.  They have been here for well over 90 minutes and our issue is resolved.  Here's why I mention the snowfall:  After testing/recreating the problem (which, as an IT guy, I can really appreciate), they determined that they needed to get into the piping that opens up in my yard.  That part of the yard has received at least an extra inch or two of snow from shoveling, but they just got to work out there.  They took the time to answer my questions, show me exactly what they were doing and the tree roots that they dragged out of our plumbing from underneath our house.  These guys are all business and just kept going wherever their troubleshooting lead them.  They shoveled their way into the city sewer in my yard and hopped right in to get even deeper into the troubleshooting.  Never a complaint about the snow, the cold or anything.  They just wanted to solve our problem.  Once we tested by running water from all faucets/showers/etc, they were on their way to the next job at 5:15pm on a Friday night.  I am so impressed with Marc & Paul that we'll most definitely use them again for the recommended maintenance this spring or summer.

Your search for a plumber stops here. I got a call only a few minutes after I sent a request through Yelp. Kim was super nice and worked with me to have someone come out to our place as soon as possible, and called me back literally not two minutes later to let me know Marc was already on his way out to assess our situation. They were both so courteous! Marc took a look and figured out what was causing our leak right away. It took only about an hour from when he first called, to go get the kit he needed, and make the repairs. He legitimately left our bathroom cleaner than it was when he got there! I am so glad to have found a great respectable place to handle any future plumbing issues we might have, and at a completely reasonable rate. FIVE STARS, MD PLUMBING! Great work.

Kim got back to me quickly and was able to schedule something same-day. Guys were in and out in 30 minutes to unclog a slow bathroom sink. Very professional and efficient!

I have been using Mark for 2 years now. I should have written a review by now. Mark is old school plumbing and he is not a fancy guy with a fancy truck with a $40,000 truck with a $2000 logo painted on the side. Needless to say you pay for his services and not his bills that he has incurred.
Mark is fair, courteous, and fast. He will tell you what you need done quickly without trying to charge you by the minute.

If you have plumbing issues call MD.

Highly recommended. Got an appointment right away and he was very professional and courteous. Arrived on time and did the work quickly and efficiently. Supplied me with tips on how to avoid this problem in the future. Will definitely work with MD again.

Not sure what the hype is about this company. They came late outside of the promised time, no heads up, no phone call whatsoever. And the guy wasn't friendly to us. Price is not cheap either. 5 star? Hell NO!!

Mark was fast to respond and efficient at his job.  I just needed a simple spout change and he was able to fit me in ASAP.  Will definitely call him again for all of our plumbing needs!

The plumbers were very courteous and informative. Good craftsmanship. Would definitely recommend them!

Used these guys 3 times for 3 different jobs.  Every time, I compare rates with other services and this company always comes up competitive. One time they suggested I might not need a new ejector pump as other services recommended.  They came and just unclogged it for the mere visit cost instead of suckering me for a new set up.  The other times, they used the best parts (I checked online) and charged me good rates.  See other reviews on Yelp and Angie's List.  These guys are honest, fair and use dependable parts in order to keep long-term customer relations.  This is no scam and run operation.

When I get multiple bids on a job I don't always go with the cheapest. I try to feel out the best match for the job. In this case, MD Plumbing was both more affordable and seemed capable. I was so right. They hooked up my laundry room with a gas line and water line and drain and came out under-budget to boot. Mark was helpful and quick with the original estimate and Greg and Rick did a great installation. All works exactly as promised. These guys know their stuff and even with my alarm going off over and over kept their cool. Thanks and I'll be calling again!

Have used Mark and his guys for multiple jobs (big and small) and very happy each time.  They do not charge you just to charge you.  They have earned my trust as they will try and help you fix your issue yourself before coming over.  They also always attempt to squeeze you into the schedule to get to you same or next day.  They are quick, clean, and respectful of your home.  I can't really say enough good things about them except that I will continue to use them solely for any plumbing issues I have.

we have used md plumbing for over 10 years. they have provided major as well as minor services in a timely and very conscientious way. they are totally dedicated to the best service and explaining exactly what the customer is needing, all options available and costs that are realistic. they have been the top service providers to our house which as it ages has needed more of a variety of plumbing services. they are very focused on the relationship with the customer as well as the quality of the work!! all round great company to deal with.

Mark & his crew were life savers when our water heater went kaput at the start of the cold season!  A friend of a friend recommended him when I was looking for a plumber to install an already purchased water heater (was just waiting for the old one to stop working and when it did, we were not prepared to install the new one). After calling several plumbers in the area, most of whom were obviously put off that I would not also be purchasing the water heater from them and claimed that the project would take too long to fit into their schedule, Mark was more than willing to come by and complete the 2 hour install.  I was very happy with his rate and perhaps more importantly, the workmanship.  It's such a relief to finally find that go-to person in town for plumbing!

We have used MD Plumbing several times since we moved into our home four years ago.  They have come for emergencies (exploded sewer in basement, frozen pipe) as well as for regular maintenance (rodding out sewer). We have had service calls from a few different plumbers that work for this company and they have all been extremely competent and sympathetic (which is especially nice when sewers are backing up into basements). They go the extra mile, they take a fair-minded approach to everything they do, and they stand by their work.  Highly recommended (obviously).

Awesome and extremely professional. I was glad to give this company a shot to clear a clogged drain and they didn't disappoint. They came out the day I called and answered my annoying questions about plumbing. Would absolutely use this company again!

MD Plumbing is my new go-to for any and all plumbing issues.  Scheduling was easy, Mark was on-time and professional, rates were reasonable, he resolved all my leaks that day, and he even gave me advice on my dishwasher which saved me a costly service call!

The first time I called because of water in basement.  Mark came out and established that it was a water heater leak and that I could actually put a temporary fix on it that would cost me nothing but that eventually I would have to have it drained and sealed.  I loved the fact that I was given a low cost temp fix.  I called MD plumbing another time because of extensive water under foundation of house due to what I thought was a main water break.  They researched the problem and determined that it was a side foundational leak and again very low bill but had to call a sub pump contractor.  Very impressed with I could have been given a high estimate and big fix and twice no cost but the call which was short and cheap.  I trust them.

Words cannot express how I overjoyed I am to be referred to MD Plumbing & Sewer. From the initial phone call to job completion, Marc was personable, professional and dependable. He arrived 1 hour earlier than stated. His partner unclogged a toilet in a mere 15 minutes. In addition, he ASKED me if it was ok to replace a part. He didn't tell me; he asked me. I HIGHLY recommend MD Plumbing & Sewer. I only made one additional call to another plumber prior to calling Marc. Prices were more than reasonable and fair. Too bad all contractors couldn't be this honest, reliable and thorough!

Hi,

We just moved to Evanston and I was so ticked off because our garbage disposal back up the first time we went to use it. We did not know anyone in town or any plumbers that could com fix it.

I am a member of Angie's list so I went on a saw MD Plumbing. Marc was highly rated so I called him. I was almost in tears I was so mad, but he assured me that he would come to our house on Monday to take a look.

He arrived on time, came with one other guy and the two of them went to work. They worked quickly, neatly and were so nice. I thought they were reasonably priced.

He knew I just moved to Evanston and asked me if I needed any recommendations on where to go. I thought that was so nice.

Bottom line, they were fast, efficient and a pleasure to work with!

I recently called and asked Mark to install a garbage disposal in my very old kitchen and he politely said that he could take my money, but he thought that he would become a regular fixture in my house if he did and I should wait until I completely updated my pipes before installing any garbage disposal.  I appreciated the honesty and will be calling when we have the money for the update.

I bought an old fixer upper in Bucktown in 2007 and have used MD Plumbing after getting talked into products and services I felt I did not need from other outfits.  Mark and his team are always professional and explain the situation to me and give me options. Now they know my little rental property well and help me when I need anything done from rodding the main sewer to installing new water heaters.  I trust them completely.  Good people.

I would like to highly recommend this company. I needed someone to help moving a gas line in a kitchen remodel and also help find and fix a leak in our home. From the first call you are treated with courtesy and from there on the process is very transparent. Mark was easy to talk to and send two great guys to work in my home. Very respectful gentleman, after they were done they left the area clean and neat. Very reasonable priced too. They are on my speed dial now!

I called Mark at  MD Plumbing due to my hot water heater not working. He called me back and even though he was booked up he said he would get me in. I explained the problem and he suggested what I could possibly do to fix. I called him while I was fixing and he explained in detail the steps to take. The fix worked! Mark went above and beyond what is expected and was happy to do so. I give MD plumbing 5+ stars and will use them for all my plumbing needs to come.

Mark has helped us out several times.  He always responds to calls immediately and fits us in ASAP.  He and his employees are always on time and professional.  I highly recommend him.

The best plumbing team on the North Shore!!! Experienced, creative, and fastidiously focused, solid, hard-working guys. I know that's a lot of adjectives, but they ROCK! In an era where flash floods warrant top-of-the-line sump systems and quirky old house plumbing mysteries are commonplace, these are the guys you want on the job! Marc thoroughly investigated several plumbing issues in our old house - lumbering sump pumps in hard to reach places, low water pressure on second floor baths, and fancy faucet with crazy valve system that leaks. Marc presented Plan A for each issue, and then a Plan B (more costly, but well worth it). Sean and Paul came in to execute Plan A, and everything worked as Marc had hoped. No need for Plan B for anything. Even if Plan B had presented itself, I would have completely understood why since they explain everything to you (if you care to pay attention). They are geniuses and worth every penny!!! Thank you Marc, Sean and Paul!

I moved into a new highrise in Skokie and noticed water damage coming off of the Master Bathroom after just a month. We called numerous plumbers before finally being able to get someone to come out and take a look.  Mark came by to take a look at the issue and made a recommendation right away.  The issue seems to be coming from a bad seal on the shower door. Mark advised that we simply replace the seal and we'd be good to go. He didn't charge us a thing! Great service, great guy! Will call if we need any further services.

These guys did a great job.  Mark came over and helped me diagnose the problem and on his consultation visit showed me how to divert/stop the leak that was flooding our basement.  They returned just by the time they said they would, which was good because if they were any later I would have been running late to work.  They did excellent, quality work replacing a very old faucet and pipestem, as well as some cracked sewer stack foundations.  I had a few final questions about pricing but they are affordable, fair, and honest.

Mark has done nothing but great work for us. In our old house (1920), other plumbers took a look at what we had (drain issues) and said it couldn't be fixed and would be $$$ to replace. He took care of it for a fair price, no problems since. Our GC's plumber told us we needed a new line to our sink--he came out as a second opinion and said it would be fine (it was). We are now having him replace the pipes in the basement, which he recommended as an effective way to help our old-house water pressure issues instead of replumbing the entire house. For an old house, you need someone who doesn't scare easily and who won't scare you. Mark is your guy!

I called 5 different plumbers in the Wilmette area, all of them except MD plumbing tried to charge me absurd  amounts of money or unreasonable overtime (such as any work past 3pm is charged as over time.) It was a breath of fresh air when MD gave me an honest quote and told me exactly what needed to be done. MD explained to me the cheap way and the comprehensive way. MD led me to the right choice and charges me very reasonably. The guys were very attentive and courteous. They were careful not to destroy any of my furniture. They cleaned up all the dust they created. I love them!!!

I went through a lot of mediocre plumbers and then found MD Plumbing.  I've had them clear out blockages, including one that took 1.5 days of hard work and tearing through a wall, and they could have just torn out the ceiling in the room below for a major pipe replacement, but they wanted to minimize damage so they kept at it and through a lot of hard work were able to get through to the blockage and break it up (it was rust from a collapsing stack) which saved me both considerable money and time in the process.  My house is old so the plumbing needs a lot of care (built in 1941) and MD has reasonable prices while still doing quality work.  They are always prompt, professional, and don't sting the wallet.
