Established in 1922.
Sinks-N-Sumps Plumbing Service was started by Vincenzo Gentile in 1922 in Chicago's Taylor Street Italian neighborhood. Himself an immigrant, Vincenzo knew that his neighbors could only afford the best price and workmanship value when they needed plumbing work done in their homes and businesses. To meet this need, he set out to achieve excellence through specialization in kitchen, bath and sump pump plumbing. Excellence through specialization is still the guiding principle of Sinks-N-Sumps today. When you choose Sinks-N-Sumps for your kitchen, bath or sump pump plumbing you're choosing a company with over 85 years of intensive plumbing experience, and you can be confident you'll receive the best price and workmanship value in the industry. With Sinks-N-Sumps, excellence isn't just our goal, it's our standard.

A mason jar was lodged in our garbage disposal, and in trying to get the garbage disposal off myself, was not able to reinstall it.
I called Dominick who said he could come out in a 1-hour timeframe, but would have to rely on my tools to get the job done.
Dominick arrived and took care of reinstalling our garbage disposal and also clearing out the mason jar glass that had shattered within it. He was incredibly quick and efficient with his work, completing the job in less than 45 minutes and having done the reinstallation with the limited tools that I had.
I will definitely be calling Dominick the next time I need any type of plumbing done, and cannot recommend him enough.
My sewage pump was continuously running and not shutting off so I called Sinks-N-Sumps at 10:30pm because I was worried it would fail overnight. I spoke with Dominick who asked me a series of questions and had me send a picture of my pump. We spent about 30 minutes on the phone trying to debug the problem and applying simple solutions, but nothing worked. We concluded that the pump was too old and needed to be replaced so I made an appointment for the next day (Christmas Eve). The next day Dominick and Alonzo worked tirelessly for five hours to replace my pump. Several issues cropped up due to how the original builder installed the pump, but Dominick kept me informed throughout the process while educating me on how everything worked. What I appreciated most, is that there were several times when the pump was in a good-enough state and they could have left to enjoy their Christmas Eve but instead they made sure things were working perfectly before they left. I can't thank them enough for the work they put into replacing my pump and I will definitely be using them again in the future for any plumbing problems.
Great service! Dominick came out within about two hours on a Sunday night. Figured it out right away and told us the problem and what he did to fix it. He was quick, efficient and professional. Labeled the parts so we know who installed them and when. Would definitely use Sinks-N-Sumps again.
Highly recommend Dominick! He is incredible reliable and quick to respond. He also explains everything in detail which I really appreciate. We had a plumbing emergency on a Sunday and we needed him to come out and he came out within an hour and fixed everything promptly. He is also so friendly and great with kids and dogs as a plus.

Dominick is the best. He was able to see me same day, fixed the issue quickly, and was incredibly nice. I will absolutely call him again if I have any plumbing issues.

So, this review isn't so much for the job that was done, because I ended up getting scheduled with my building's maintenance man instead, but I felt compelled to leave a comment on the customer service alone. I was mid-anxiety attack when I called Dominic about my leaky toilet and though he was unable to fit me in on that same day, he had me send him a picture of what I was looking at and then talked me through how to temporarily stop the leak. Which temporarily stopped my anxiety. And probably saved my floor and the ceiling of the person below me. For that alone, much gratitude!
Edited to add: and then came the plot twist: Dominick IS in fact my building's plumber!
*cue shocked music*
So now I can speak on his service, which was quick and thorough. With great personality to boot! Aside from that time I spent almost 12 hours on 5-hour train ride (don't ask), I've never been so happy to see my toilet. All is well once again!

My wife and I own a duplex condo where the lower level is below street level. We had been experiencing a sewage smell which had been worsening over time. The smell was emanating from what I thought was a sump pump, so I searched on Google for a plumber who could assist with this issue and found Dominick.
Dominick was fantastic. When I first called, he answered the phone and asked me to send him some photos of the sump pump so that he could diagnose the issue. Dominick immediately informed me that I had a sewage pump, not a sump pump. Also, someone who apparently was not a plumber had installed a backup sump pump, instead of a backup sewage pump, which was completely improper and was causing some of the problems.
Dominick quoted me a price to come over and replace the pump with a new sewage pump. He was very thorough and spent about 7 hours removing the old pumps and installing a new sewage pump. He also replaced some PVC piping which had been incorrectly installed. He sealed the piping and the metal cover over the sump pit. Dominick additionally replaced a valve in the piping which had been loudly slamming shut every time the sewage pump expelled wastewater; he installed a type of dampener which eliminated the slamming sound.
I am very pleased with Dominick's work as the sewage smell is completely gone and the new sewage pump has been working well. I would definitely hire him again, particularly for complex projects.
Excellent service! Dominick and Howard were great to work with and addressed all the issues with my kitchen sink. Replaced the valves and the kitchen faucet so there are no more leaks or concerns. Dominick was very thorough and straightforward about pricing, which I really appreciated. Thanks again!
I have never written a review before but joined Yelp just to write one for Dominick. I had a clogged toilet that I had tried augering and plungering but nothing worked. He provided a pretty clear cost estimate over the phone, but when he came over he used a diagnostic trick to identify a cheaper way to fix the problem, and in the end he charged less than the lower end of the range he had quoted. Other plumbers I talked to took a look and didn't even bother using creative problem solving to find a solution, and they quoted triple what Dominick charged. I will never use any other plumber, ever, as long as I live in Chicago.
I just had Dominic come out for the 3rd time. This time it was for a precautionary measure. Dominic is the most honest plumber I know. We ran several tests and told me that everything looked and seemed normal.
I would recommend Dominic to anyone. He is reliable, hard working, really makes sure you understand the problem and beyond fair with pricing.

What I appreciated most, is that there were several times when the pump was in a good-enough state and they could have left to enjoy their Christmas Eve but instead they made sure things were working perfectly before they left. I can't thank them enough for the work they put into replacing my pump and I will definitely be using them again in the future for any plumbing problems.
Great service! Dominick came out within about two hours on a Sunday night. Figured it out right away and told us the problem and what he did to fix it. He was quick, efficient and professional. Labeled the parts so we know who installed them and when. Would definitely use Sinks-N-Sumps again.
Highly recommend Dominick! He is incredible reliable and quick to respond. He also explains everything in detail which I really appreciate. We had a plumbing emergency on a Sunday and we needed him to come out and he came out within an hour and fixed everything promptly. He is also so friendly and great with kids and dogs as a plus.

Dominick is the best. He was able to see me same day, fixed the issue quickly, and was incredibly nice. I will absolutely call him again if I have any plumbing issues.

So, this review isn't so much for the job that was done, because I ended up getting scheduled with my building's maintenance man instead, but I felt compelled to leave a comment on the customer service alone. I was mid-anxiety attack when I called Dominic about my leaky toilet and though he was unable to fit me in on that same day, he had me send him a picture of what I was looking at and then talked me through how to temporarily stop the leak. Which temporarily stopped my anxiety. And probably saved my floor and the ceiling of the person below me. For that alone, much gratitude!
Edited to add: and then came the plot twist: Dominick IS in fact my building's plumber!
*cue shocked music*
So now I can speak on his service, which was quick and thorough. With great personality to boot! Aside from that time I spent almost 12 hours on 5-hour train ride (don't ask), I've never been so happy to see my toilet. All is well once again!

My wife and I own a duplex condo where the lower level is below street level. We had been experiencing a sewage smell which had been worsening over time. The smell was emanating from what I thought was a sump pump, so I searched on Google for a plumber who could assist with this issue and found Dominick.
Dominick was fantastic. When I first called, he answered the phone and asked me to send him some photos of the sump pump so that he could diagnose the issue. Dominick immediately informed me that I had a sewage pump, not a sump pump. Also, someone who apparently was not a plumber had installed a backup sump pump, instead of a backup sewage pump, which was completely improper and was causing some of the problems.
Dominick quoted me a price to come over and replace the pump with a new sewage pump. He was very thorough and spent about 7 hours removing the old pumps and installing a new sewage pump. He also replaced some PVC piping which had been incorrectly installed. He sealed the piping and the metal cover over the sump pit. Dominick additionally replaced a valve in the piping which had been loudly slamming shut every time the sewage pump expelled wastewater; he installed a type of dampener which eliminated the slamming sound.
I am very pleased with Dominick's work as the sewage smell is completely gone and the new sewage pump has been working well. I would definitely hire him again, particularly for complex projects.
Excellent service! Dominick and Howard were great to work with and addressed all the issues with my kitchen sink. Replaced the valves and the kitchen faucet so there are no more leaks or concerns. Dominick was very thorough and straightforward about pricing, which I really appreciated. Thanks again!
I have never written a review before but joined Yelp just to write one for Dominick. I had a clogged toilet that I had tried augering and plungering but nothing worked. He provided a pretty clear cost estimate over the phone, but when he came over he used a diagnostic trick to identify a cheaper way to fix the problem, and in the end he charged less than the lower end of the range he had quoted. Other plumbers I talked to took a look and didn't even bother using creative problem solving to find a solution, and they quoted triple what Dominick charged. I will never use any other plumber, ever, as long as I live in Chicago.
I just had Dominic come out for the 3rd time. This time it was for a precautionary measure. Dominic is the most honest plumber I know. We ran several tests and told me that everything looked and seemed normal.
I would recommend Dominic to anyone. He is reliable, hard working, really makes sure you understand the problem and beyond fair with pricing.

A mason jar was lodged in our garbage disposal, and in trying to get the garbage disposal off myself, was not able to reinstall it.
I called Dominick who said he could come out in a 1-hour timeframe, but would have to rely on my tools to get the job done.
Dominick arrived and took care of reinstalling our garbage disposal and also clearing out the mason jar glass that had shattered within it. He was incredibly quick and efficient with his work, completing the job in less than 45 minutes and having done the reinstallation with the limited tools that I had.
I will definitely be calling Dominick the next time I need any type of plumbing done, and cannot recommend him enough.
My sewage pump was continuously running and not shutting off so I called Sinks-N-Sumps at 10:30pm because I was worried it would fail overnight. I spoke with Dominick who asked me a series of questions and had me send a picture of my pump. We spent about 30 minutes on the phone trying to debug the problem and applying simple solutions, but nothing worked. We concluded that the pump was too old and needed to be replaced so I made an appointment for the next day (Christmas Eve). The next day Dominick and Alonzo worked tirelessly for five hours to replace my pump. Several issues cropped up due to how the original builder installed the pump, but Dominick kept me informed throughout the process while educating me on how everything worked. What I appreciated most, is that there were several times when the pump was in a good-enough state and they could have left to enjoy their Christmas Eve but instead they made sure things were working perfectly before they left.
