Best Businesses in Illinois

We have been using Drain-EEZ Plumbing for over five years now and have always been very pleased with them. In fact, this is the only company that comes to mind when I think of who to turn to for a reliable plumber.

We have used other plumbers before but none of them compare to Pat, the Drain-EEZ plumber. He goes above and beyond to assure a repair is done right the first time and has had to fix the work that plumbers did. For example, a couple years ago we had a plumber that just pushed a clog further down the drain with his pressure plunger. Well, a week later, the bathroom shower and kitchen sink had water coming up in them again and so I called Pat. He spent a good couple of hours rodding the pipes and knocking on wood, we have not had an issue like that since.

We have used Drain-EEZ for several services from rodding, to installing toilets, to replacing rotting pipes, and have be very pleased every time. They'll even squeeze us to their already full schedule and do what they could to make the cost reasonable and competitive.

Thank you so much Drain-EEZ for your continuous help with our plumbing needs.

They made a must replace situation so much easier and far less stressful.  A great Chicago native service provider with a sense of humor and knowledge about product and installation. Thanks Mac!

Finally found a plumbing company I can rely on !! Highly recommend ! Fredi was very helpful and honest. He walked me through every step of the way and educated me since I have absolutely NO IDEA about plumbing. He truly went above and beyond. I'll request Fredi specifically in the future.

Our toilet flooded in the middle of the night on a Sunday. I didn't want to risk serious water damage, so I did a quick search & found fast response from Discount Plumbing. I requested a quote on yelp and they responded within minutes & they said a technician can come out & gives me a FREE quote with no obligation. They arrived in minutes and my toilet soon was able to flushing like it was brand new! I appreciate them walking in with booties and walking me through the whole process & answering my questions. Definitely took the customer service to another level with that. Plus, the 10% coupon helped..

Thank you
Discount Plumbing

Scotty is still the best plumber in town!! He replaced the entire guts of both toilets in my condo. This included replacing both wax seals, bowl gaskets, tank bolts, and fill valve kits (contractor series since high rise condos require at least 80 PSI). He had to make two trips to a plumbing store and Home Depot since older toilets need a different size bowl gasket. Thankfully, he was able to find it in stock. In addition, he replaced both chrome p-trap kits under both bathroom sinks. Another great job by Scotty!

These guys helped me out of an emergency jam cleaning up the shoddy work done by A Plumber Now (APN). Their price was a fifteen hundred dollars cheaper than APN and done right with new parts. Rocket will be my first call next time I need a plumber.

fast, fair, professional - best sewer/drainage experience ever!

I discovered this business through Yelp in an emergency situation. Our basement was flooding due to blockage of the sewer/drain pipe. I received a response to my inquiry early in the morning and had an appointment not long after. David and the team determined the probable issue quickly and were able  return to fix it by mid day.  He told me from the start what the cost range would be, depending on whether they needed to unclog from two places or one, so when they need to go to the second option, I already knew the cost and could agree quickly.

I highly recommend this business!

Chris and Julio came out today and unclogged a kitchen sink and our sewer within an hour. They were prompt, courteous, didn't make me feel like a helpless homeowner (which I totally am), and solved a problem that has existed for a long time.  Great work, and great people!  Highly recommend.

Our experience with First Chicago Plumbing was excellent, and we'll be using them for future projects. We were remodeling out bathroom and needed a new tub installed. Eugene quickly responded to my request for a quote and was able to provide his quote using photos and product specs which made the process easier during a pandemic. During demo, we were surprised to find some unexpected pipes in a wall that needed to be moved to fit our new tub. Eugene was responsive and discussed the issue with us over the phone on the weekend which we incredibly appreciated. He and his team came prepared the next day for both the installation and the adjustment of the pipe issue. They got our new tub up to the third floor safely, installed it perfectly, gave us helpful advice and moved the pipes as expected to make our new tub fit. Everything has worked smoothly since their installation and we're thankful to them for making this process easy.

Having done a gut rehab I've dealt with tons of contractors and have become fluent in contractor speak: I'll be by at 11 means some time @ 3pm, I'll be there tomorrow means some time next week.  So what a nice change to find someone who actually does what they say!  They showed up on time, came back when they said they would and did a great job.  Highly recommended!

They responded very quickly. Came right away and on time. They snaked a drain in our home that was very clogged from previous owners. Quote was accurate. Friendly and wore a mask!

Although I'm not a customer, I am also not a fan of the greater good who by all means is not a good person. This person lacks happiness and is completely bitter. Yes Suzanne Coleman, I'm talking to you. I wish other businesses could see you coming from a mile away but sadly they can't. Please get a therapist because all this negativity coming from one person is just sad. However, you may give that psychiatrist a one star review as well. Looking at your history, seems like you had a busy week writing bad reviews.

Take care and good luck in life.

What you NEED to know is in the last paragraph. TL;DR: This is the best home services experience I've ever had in my life.

We had a clogged toilet at 3 a.m. after hosting a  New Year's Eve party at our new home. Not the ideal way to kick off 2020. Using a plunger, we were able to get the water to flush very slowly and figured we got rid of the clog.

2 days later, the toilet still wasn't working. I requested a quote on Yelp, and Mike responded within minutes. Not only was the price competitive, but Mike offered to give me free advice on how to fix the problem myself in the event that it could save me time and money.

After trying all the conventional methods (plunger, auger) to no avail, I called Mike again to schedule service. He sent Danny who was at the house within 15 minutes. Danny was incredibly polite and thorough moving from auger to removing the toilet. Having tried all standard methods, Danny let us know that he would have to bring in the power rodder and that Mike was on his way to help out. Danny laid tarp along house to wheel in the huge machine, and Mike tried to think of other ways to solve this not-so-typical issue.

They ended up going to our crawlspace and rodding the pipes through there. I'll spare the details, but after a couple hours, the problem was fixed. Danny and Mike cleaned up the bathroom and closet with crawlspace access. And the toilet flushes like new.

I can't speak highly enough of this experience. We couldn't have asked for better service and, quite frankly, didn't know home services of this caliber existed. I would never hesitate to recommend giving these gentlemen a call, even for free advice. They'll be my go-to for any future plumbing issues (knock on wood), as well as if anyone ever asks if we know a good plumber. Mike giving us a discount for finding them through Yelp was a much-appreciated bonus.

I had a tub drain blockage that I was unable to clear with a snake and it was only getting worse. I called several plumbers, but none of them were available for several days. Captain Rooter was able to squeeze me in same day. No only that, they were scheduled to show up at 4:00 (not some vague three hour window of whatever) and they arrived at my place 10 minutes early. (They actually got to my place before I did!) Adam came in and busted the clog within a few minutes. Now I can take a shower and stop smelling like a three day old burrito. Great service.

I hired Sims and Sons to repair electrical issues in the common area of our building. Other electricians either couldn't identify the cause of our electrical problem or wouldn't come out in-person to assess the situation. Darrell Sims visited our building and walked me through the potential causes before submitting an estimate. Darrell was also really responsive to the various demands of our condo board. The electrician, Enis, was really professional and informative before, during and after the work was completed. After going nearly a year with intermittent hallway lighting, I appreciate that Sims and Sons was able to come to our rescue.

I called because we have a spigot on the front of the house that has just a trickle of water.  A spigot, you know, that connects to a pipe in your house through a wall, that you connect your garden house to.  I wanted it evaluated so that I can use it water the front yard, but more importantly to make sure a leak wasn't causing the lack of water pressure.  The woman I spoke to originally said they only do indoor plumbing.  Huh?  Did she think we had a clog in our outhouse? I explained the plumbing for all of this is indoors, and runs through the wall for use with a garden hose. Come on, every house has these.  She said she'd talk to the plumber, and then called back to say the manager said they don't do that kind of work. They don't evaluate pipes with limited flow that may possibly be caused by a  leak.  Good to know. Guess they'd be called a boutique shop, with such limited service.  Or just a really bad plumbing service.

We needed expedited plumbing work after our hot water heater started leaking.  Dmitri responded quickly with a fair and comprehensive quote.  We didn't use his services because we found that someone had not tightened the drain valve.  I will definitely call these guys again for the next plumbing job.

Quick same-day service to fix a toilet fill valve. Took a look around the house at a couple other potential issues and made some recommendations. Professional and would recommend!

A few weeks ago my sump pump gave us issues and A&Y plumbing was quick to respond. They came by the next day and were able to fix my problem within a few hours. They also provided me options with different types of solutions based on my budget. This made me feel great about the solution and provided me peace of mind that I was getting a good deal.

Now when it rains I no longer have to check it my sump pump is running or close to giving up. Thank you A&Y!

Noel and Five Plumbing I would recommend to anyone.  Last summer he solved a leak in the unit above mine that previous plumbers could not diagnose.  Then this month I had water backup everywhere overnight and he came first thing in the morning and laid out everything that needed to be done.  He was direct and honest the entire time about the issues and the the potential costs involved.  That's what I call a great plumber.  Thanks Noel and Five Plumbing, i will definitely call you again when I have an issue.
