I had an amazing customer experience; highly recommended!

Just had our water heater replaced yesterday.  Jim showed up on time, was pleasant to deal with, and did the job efficiently without cutting any corners.  They also had the best price I could find.

Dex saved the day AGAIN! We have called on Rescue Plumbing and Dex many, many times now, and he will always be my go to. He fixed frozen pipes over the holidays, routed the sewer, undertook major sewer repair work in a very fast turnaround, and has cleared drain backups. We have done both small and large plumbing projects with him, and he is always responsive, fast, and more than fair in pricing. We have scheduled same day service with them multiple times and could not be happier with their reliability, responsiveness, and workmanship. Absolutely recommend Dex and the team at Rescue Plumbing!

They were respectful and did a great job fory Granny. I'll call you guys anytime.

I am very pleased with the service  and cost from Scotty's Plumbing. He waited for me to get home from work without rescheduling. Went to  get additional connection hoses that would work for my kitchen faucet replacement, and fixed a pipe with a large hole, all for less than his initial estimate. Highly recommend. Will be my first  call for any other plumbing issues.

I've had 2 plumbing experiences with Rocket Plumbing. The first one was good, the second one was not.

The first time I called Rocket Plumbing, it was due to a garbage disposal that would not work. The plumber arrived on time, was polite, replaced my garbage disposal and was on his way. It was a little expensive but his efficiency and friendliness won me over.

I called Rocket Plumbing a second time a few months later due to a tankless toilet that would not stop flushing. The plumber was again prompt and friendly, fixed the problem in literally 5 minutes by replacing a defective diaphragm. The total charge was $230. (I later googled the part number. It is sold at Home Depot for $19.99). Seems a little overpriced to me for 5 minutes of work.

After replacing the diaphragm, the toilet was making a strange groaning noise after flushing. The plumber stated the noise would eventually go away. Five days later, the groaning had gotten so loud that my neighbors were complaining! I called Rocket back and was told they would send the plumber back out to take a look.

The same plumber arrived on time but this time had a bit of an attitude. He stated that I claim the toilet never made this noise before but he doesn't know that, blatantly accusing me of lying. He replaced the part again and the toilet miraculously stopped groaning! He left and I thought the toilet debacle was over.

Two days later, the toilet starts to groan again. This time, I called Sloan (the manufacturer of the toilet and of the replacement part used by Rocket Plumbing). Sloan stated the diaphragm Rocket used was the low end version and the moaning is common in older toilets when using the low end diaphragm. Sloan recommended a slightly more expensive version of said diaphragm which should fix the groaning problem.

Thankfully, I paid attention when the plumber was here and I will order the new diaphragm myself and replace it myself, thus fixing the problem created by Rocket Plumbing.

What a headache!

They are responsive, prompt, reliable, and thorough. I needed someone to look at a leak, and they called me back right away. They then set up an appointment for the next day, and they arrived when they said they were going to arrive. When looking for the source of the leak, David and his partner were thorough. They found the source within minutes. David was also very clear on what my next steps should be. They also did not charge me for their assessment.

I've used these guys twice, which is the problem.  They come out promptly the guy curses alot, which isn't professional.  Overlooking that here is the problem, they charged $275 each time to rod my main sewer line.  The second time they said well, it's been more than 6 months so there is another charge.  Today I call, since it was done in early December, and I now have my sump pump backing up into my toilet every time it turns on, because the sewer line is clogged.  The line is blocked again, less than 2 months after they were out!  When I call they say they don't give a warranty of any sewer line work.  I've called 3 other places and they all say, we warranty our sewer line work, to call the original place!  So, I've wasted $550, only to have to hire a real professional in an emergency situation, who will offer a warranty and stand behind their work!  Please don't waste your money here, you'll just wind up needing to hire someone else in a short time.

They installed tankless water heater in my house instead of regular tank. The whole process from getting a quote to the finished installation was very smooth. Eugene guided me through the whole process. Then they even sent me some information on how to get rebates on my tax return for installing a tankless water heater which was very helpful. The quote I got completely online, based on pictures and answering a few questions. The final price I paid matched the quote provided. The job looks beautiful! I highly recommend First Chicago Plumbing as they are very professional and provide best customer service!

Sound Plumbing is the best!  Anytime we have an issue (and we bough a house with some issues...) they come out quickly and solve it efficiently.  They have also enhanced our home with a few projects to add water and gas to outdoor spaces.  They leave the house very clean, accurately and fairly quote the work and are always friendly and helpful.

Contacted a few plumbers looking to replace a flush plug, one company contacted me with a price of $200. Never looked at problem. J Sewer came out Christmas Eve and did it for half the price. Great service with a reasonable price

Couldn't rate these folks higher.  Had them come out to re-install a dryer gas shut off valve that was behind a wall, and he was very skilled at minimally cutting our wall only where necessary to re-install the valve in a more accessible space.
He also went above and behind and helped install the dryer vent, which was in an inconvenient space and wouldn't otherwise been able to be completed without his help.
Highly recommended.  Go with these professionals.

I am way past due writing this review, but came back to Yelp because these guys 100% deserve 5 stars.  Long story short, my kitchen sink clogged and started leaking on Thanksgiving.  After another plumber failed to get the sink unclogged and whose next step was intense (read: expensive), I decided to get another plumber out to see if they could resolve the clog.  Enter Midwest Hydro Jetting, who sent two wonderful guys out that not only unclogged my sink in a matter of minutes (and this was 4 months ago and we're still going strong), they also corrected the hookup to my dishwasher to make it run better, and they stuck around to make sure the everything was working properly.  Everyone was super friendly and professional, from start to finish.

Quick and easy service, best pricing over two other local plumbers and got the job done.

I needed help with my Google Nest Doorbell. The original bell wasn't hard wired so it was more complicated than I originally expected. Called Sims and Sons and they were extremely responsive and professional. I plan on using them for future jobs and definitely recommend them for electric work.

Chris was prompt and patient to identify and address all of our plumbing issues. The first plumber we used did nothing to resolve the problem, but Chris took the time to make sure his solutions addressed all issues thoroughly. I would definitely recommend!

Dmitri was amazing!  After our previous plumber had repaired a leaking kitchen faucet, we noticed the water pressure had dropped significantly.    We called this plumber for some help trouble-shooting; the owner was completely uninterested in helping us, and failed to even return my call.

I then researched local plumbers on Yelp and noticed that CJ Plumbing in Evanston had received spectacular reviews.  I called and talked to Dmitri, the owner.  He said he could probably correct the problem with minimal time and effort; he volunteered to come over and do this free of charge!
That's exactly what he did this afternoon, and our water pressure is now restored.

I am always thrilled to come across a company which puts long-term customer relationships over short term financial gain.  All our future plumbing business will, of course, go to CJ Plumbing.

About as honest and straightforward as it gets.  Great guy and even better plumber!  He explained everything that was going to be done, was flexible around our schedule and most importantly fixed the issue we were having.  I'm glad to find a go to plumber we can depend on with fair and transparent pricing.

This company should be called Heaven Sent! They were such a blessing to me and my family. I am so thankful to Juan and his partner for their assistance with finding the orgin of leaking pipe that was the cause a lot of problems and repairing it at a fair and reasonable price! Although, they are a small independent business, they out perform the larger plumbing companies that will come up when you do a Google search! They are polite,  professional and knowledgeable. After having the other major plumbing companies come out and not find the orgin of a leaking pipe, Juan had it pinpointed in about an hour! Him and his partner then repaired the problem in about 2 hours (with no breaks.)  They left all work areas spotless and were very considerate about Covid precautions.  I wish I would have found them sooner!

We were not able to use this company for the service we needed,  but they referred us to someone that can help. Thank you.
