Best Businesses in Illinois

Excellent service today with my clogged kitchen sink, they were in and out in 30 minutes. The two gentlemen were kind and considerate, very nice people. Woman who schedules was professional and very nice. Will definitely contact this company for service in the future if needed.

We decided to upgrade to a tankless water heater last year and shopped around for good plumbers.  Mac was by far the most responsive and most reasonably priced.  He was very knowledgeable and professional, showed up on time, and he even came back 6 months later and showed me how to flush out the unit.  We highly recommend Mac!

Amazing experience.   Our problem was that we were having reduced water flow in our Jacuzzi bath.  Other sinks and outlets were fine.  When I called I was impressed with how professional the company was in understanding our problem.  I was told that  someone would be here the very next day between 10:00-11:00.   At 9:30 I was called to hear that they would be at our home at 10:30.  And they were.

Rick and his helper showed up and were very polite and professional.  They were careful to put on masks and booties.  Rick, who has 27 years plumbing experience, analyzed it and determined there was a blockage at the double handles.  

Rick needed to get an air compressor and then proceeded to work to remove the blockage.  And he succeeded -- our water flow was back to normal.  So I recommend the firm to others.  Excellent experience and reasonable cost.

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

I had Scott come by for a garbage disposal clog - I sent over a picture of the area, and based on that, he showed up prepared with a whole new garbage disposal for me, and installed it!! The clogged one was quite old and the trap needed replaced. He did it all, and was super quick and it was affordable, + told me things to consider in the future / other things that may need replaced / etc.

These guys are great. We had a burst water pipe, along with many hundreds of other people, after the January 2014 polar vortex nightmare.  I sat around all day waiting on another plumbing company to show up, who never did.  I called Rocket late in the evening on a Friday night, and they called us at 7:30 on Saturday morning to fix our burst pipes.  They were prompt and considerate, and did a great job. I am grateful to them for coming to our aid so quickly, and for being such professional, great guys.  HIghly recommend.

Thomas came out to handle a last-minute issue in a rental of mine. He arrived early, was efficient, did the diagnostic work quickly and began work immediately. His price was competitive and overall it was a really good experience, which is very important when one calls an emergency plumber! I will definitely use Chicago Sewer and Drain Professionals again!

Jose was truly a pleasure to work with.

Our condo building needed a spigot outside in order to get the decks powerwashed.  I came to Yelp and found that Jose got really great reviews and I called him up immediately.

He came out to give us a quote and to make sure it could be done.  The price seemed right and he seemed confident that all would go smoothly.

A couple weeks later, he came out and took care of the spigot installation in a timely manner.  He was so polite and professional.  

i can't say enough great things about him and he's definitely on the list to call for future projects or any issues we might have.

I definitely recommend him and Windy City Plumbing!

The company did a fantastic job of replacing a hot water heater. Really stellar. Responded quickly. Demonstrated fantastic knowledge. Gave a great price. I would never go anywhere else.

I've never had more confidence working with a contractor, period.  Kevin clearly knows his stuff, and enjoys sharing his expertise with others.  Fair price, straight-shooter, came on just a couple hours' notice, and got the job done right.  Easy decision.

Jesus has helped us with numerous plumbing issues, replaced our ejector pump, fixed leaks, and did water heater repairs. He's always so responsive and comes out the next day when we have a problem. He's even come late at night if need be. Price is always reasonable. I highly recommend him and trust him with all of my plumbing needs.

Honest and very polite Gino did a good job. He explained my options. The price was fair for the job , even though he could have have charged more. I will definitely contact and ask
For Gino if needed .

Mike and team are extremely responsive, professional and accommodating. They do an excellent job in troubleshooting and explaining to you the actual problem and your potential solutions and options.

UPDATED 8/26:

The owner of this company, Jesse, called me to apologize on behalf of the contractor who charged me for not doing anything. He confirmed that the initial consult from Captain Rooter IS free, and promised to issue a refund. Removing one star due to the earlier experience, but adding three to my overall rating because it meant a lot to me to get that call. If I end up using their services for another project that goes well, I'll update this again to reflect that.

PREVIOUS REVIEW:

I've never left a bad Yelp review (it's true, check my profile), but I want to warn people because I hate contractors that do this (and Captain Rooter said on the phone that they were different). I woke up to a very loud persistent jackhammer type sound coming from the bathroom around 4AM. It eventually stopped an hour or so later, but it was alarming enough that I called Captain Rooter's 24/7 line during the chaos and booked a 9:30AM consult, which I was told was free.

The guy arrived this morning, and looked into the toilet tank (I had removed the lid already). He then diagnosed it as trapped air in the pipes and said there wasn't really anything to do. He said if it happens again, it's a whole building problem and I should contact building management. He then said I owed him $125 for coming out, but if I had $50 in cash he would take that instead to save me some $$. I don't have cash on me, and said I didn't think there was a charge. He said he would call the company and I could Zelle them. The lady on the phone was like, Yep, there's a $185 service fee, here's where to send the payment -- when I corrected her and said that the plumber had said $125 she went, Oops, yes, it's a $125 service fee if he touched anything. At this point, I have been on the phone paying longer than the plumber looked at anything.

I paid, he left. But I feel really taken advantage of. Being a solo female homeowner is a privilege, but it also sucks, because contractors see you as just someone to charge $125 for two minutes of no work for during a free consult.

Easy communication and scheduling, Anil provided excellent service. Very quick and efficient and gave options for solutions and was transparent about pricing differences.

ABV plumbing did a great job. I needed a plumber they quoted a good price and Ivo came at the time that they said they would. He was very efficient and did a great job and was done in a timely manner. I will definitely use them again.

On a Sunday, our ejector pump died. We started a help claim from yelp and CJ Plumbing was one of the first to reply. The owner, Dmitry, was available on a Sunday to troubleshoot our situation over the phone. He figured out a way to temporarily bypass our issue. This saved us money by being able to wait until normal hours to get service. It was amazing and provided us with a huge relief!
The work was very prompt and expertly completed. We would definitely recommend CJ Plumbing to anyone!

I had a rocky toilet that was supposedly fixed by Chicagoland Handyman in June of 2022, but five months later the rocking was back. I searched for a plumber to fix this unsteady toilet once and for all. I called Mike the Plumber. He was able to come out the next day and was able to to stabilize my toilet. Mike the Plumber was very nice as he explained what the problem was and what he was going to do to fix it. He said if the rocking comes back (which it won't) he will tend to it. I will definitely call Mike the Plumber for any future plumbing issues in my old building. Thank you Mike!

Juan and company were great. Contacted them using Yelp and he was out here the next day with a free estimate. He was able to start immediately which was also helpful and unexpected.
They fixed a severely clogged sink. Some copper water piping replacement that was showing signs of corrosion. Inspected what I thought was a severe leak that only turned out to be a slow leaking outdoor faucet. Even took the time to give me a helpful tutorial on adjusting the water level for my sump pump.
Keeping his info handy for our future needs. Would highly recommend.

Noel was great, he stayed for 4+ hours to resolve our problem on a Saturday. Thank you very much.
