Best Businesses in Illinois

I'm thankful I found Drain-EEZ. They offered a couple different appointment times, so it was super convenient. They showed up on time and told me the exact price before they started the work. The work was done quickly and they offered me advice. I like that the receipt broke down everything they did. I hope I do not have to call them again but if I do I know I'm in good hands.

Appointment was set up quickly. Mac worked around some major challenges in the installation, and finished same day. The guys worked late to get me squared away and it was much appreciated.

I cannot recommend Jay and Sam more highly.

tl;dr 
Jay and Sam had the opportunity to convince us to complete an expensive fix to a plumbing issue, but instead took their time to find a cheap, 100% effective solution to the root issue.

These are two truly trustworthy plumbers. As I'm sure is true of anyone calling a plumber, I have zero understanding of plumbing. So if a plumber were to recommend a big, expensive fix to a scary problem, I'd have no way of knowing whether that was necessary, or whether they were just suggesting a lot of work for the sake of getting a big payday. 

After working with Jay and Sam, I know that I have found plumbers that I can trust to give me an honest and effective recommendation.

My wife and I called Jay and Sam after we discovered that the tub in our new home was causing a leak in the light fixture on the floor directly below it. This was a very scary problem. After talking with a few plumbers over the phone, all suggested that given that our tub's plumbing was hidden beneath tile, we'd likely have to tear open the ceiling on the floor below to even understand what was going on. Obviously, that would suck.

By the time Jay and Sam came over, we were 100% resigned to the idea that this would be an expensive, and messy process that would leave us with a hole in our ceiling. 

When they arrived, they were very methodical in reproducing the issue, so they could better understand how to fix it. They also continually explained that the last thing we want to do is open up your ceiling if we don't have to, which was a breath of fresh air. 

Eventually, they figured out that the light fixture leak was coming through the overflow drain in the tub. They looked closer at the problem and suggested that we try re-sealing the overflow drain, and giving it 2 days to dry and cure, to make sure that we only opened up the ceiling after exhausting all of our other options. Lo and behold, this simple, easy and cheap solution worked.

Had they told us that we needed to rip open the ceiling, we absolutely would have listened, but the fact that they did everything they could to avoid the cost and inconvenience means that we'll trust them moving forward, no matter what. They were also just plain nice and kind people. I'd recommend them to anyone for any plumbing issue.

Thanks Jay and Sam!

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

We noticed water leaking from our garbage disposal on Sunday evening and contacted Scott based on his Yelp reviews. He responded quickly and made time for us with short notice. He asked great questions and for pics of the sink ahead of time so he was prepared with all the replacement parts right away. He was fast, professional and gave great recommendations for improving the safety of the wiring to our disposal. I'm so glad we hired him, Scott will definitely be our go-to for any future needs!

Rocket came out and installed a Garbage disposal and a utility sink in my house a few months ago. The work was done well; it's been a couple months and everything is still working properly; no leaks. Everything was done clean and on time.

I do feel that their price for the sink installation was a little on the high side but the job got done right. I'll use them again for my next plumbing job.

Thomas was a pleasure to work with during our recent project on our main sewer line.  He responded quickly to our first call to visit our house and provided his recommendations.  He came with a more conservative and less expensive approach than another company which was refreshing.  Thomas and team were on-time, hard working and courteous. He also made us feel calm during what could have been a stressful project.  The work was very effective.  We will use them again.

Last year they replaced all the plumbing in our Berwyn home. They did an incredible job and provided excellent customer service through the whole process.  
With the additional replacement of our hot water heater and the bathroom remodel, the improved water pressure is outstanding and our gas bill is down.  I would recommend without reservation!

We had a great experience with First Chicago. We were having a pest problem with our sump and ejector pumps, but, being new homeowners, really had no idea what to do. I didn't even know what an ejector pump was! First Chicago was informative and responsive. I particularly appreciate their ability to answer questions over email, if it's difficult to talk on the phone during the day. They took the time to understand the problem and recommended a great course of action. They were also the lowest quote we got for these services. Highly recommend!

The best plumbers I've worked with. Responsive, professional, efficient and thorough. Have hired them for 10 or so projects over the years, and service is fantastic! Highly recommend!

J sewer & Drain plumbing
Excelente service! Jesus and his crew have been outstanding. Jesus takes the time to analyze the problem before coming to conclusions. Very responsible, reasonable plumbing price, no hassle.  Thank you great service . I highly recommend his service to anyone.

I had a gas leak in my house in the city of Chicago.  The gas company shut off the gas and locked the meter.  I called Greentech and they came out within an hour.  They repaired three leaks in about 90 minutes.  They hung around while the gas company came back and inspected the work. The gas company passed their work and turned   the gas back on.  Job complete All in about 4 hours.  Good people and affordable prices.

This was the 3rd plumbing company to come to our house in 24 hours to address some awful backup in our basement. They totally saved the day and got us flowing properly again. Will definitely recommend and be our first call in the future. Thanks, Mike!

I have had at least a dozen inspections done on properties over the years. Professionals document their work and don't just flick on the water and flush toilets to see if they work! They take photos and include them in the report! The report that you rush sent me after I pointed out that you never sent one in the first place was 1 damn paragraph?!? One paragraph poorly constructed is your full report on a three unit property?!? Come back to the property and do a REAL inspection and I'll pay you plus a late fee! FOH otherwise, I can't even use your bs report!! I sent it to my and attorney and they both laughed and asked if you guys were a real company.

Sure enough there were scheduling issues on my part.

That aside do NOT, I repeat DO NOT hire these people for any sort of inspection! They rushed through my inspection, did not provide sufficient documentation to satisfy that they even did any inspection!

The gentleman I spoke with OF COURSE got rude and defensive when called on the BS!

I am to believe that they FULLY inspected a 3 unit building with 6 bathrooms, 3 kitchens in FIVE minutes!?!?! FOHWTBS!

$450... Highway robbery at its best. Good luck! it

Hands down the best electricians I have ever used.  Fit me in same day, were friendly, professional, knowledgeable, informative, and thorough.  Were able to diagnose and fix some voltage fluctuation issues that were causing lights to dim and brighten randomly, and outlets to lose power.

If you need electric work done, use Sims and Sons!

We had a great experience start to finish with ABV. When my in-laws' shower faucet began to get too loose and stop working, my husband tried to fix it. This, of course, resulted in the faucet breaking off completely and our need for some immediate help and repair. My husband sent out a yelp inquiry to a number of plumbers and ABV was the first to respond and also give us a flat rate of $125 for the repair. No one else would give us a flat rate and were also charging just to have someone look at it.

We set up an appointment the next morning with ABV. The plumber showed up right on time, giving us a text when he was 20 minutes away. He came prepared with the parts needed, was able to fix the issue in less than 30 minutes, and as a result only charged us a third of what his original flat rate we agreed on was since the repair was so easy and quick. You don't see that kind of honesty these days! The job was done with excellent quality and the faucet works like a dream now.

Very professional service. You know one thing is for a professional to provide service but when a professional explains the process so you understand why the service is being done. Then goes above and beyond to explain how it is done so you can know how to do it yourself is also a plus in my eyes. Once the service was done I had a follow up call with the manager and I was very pleased with the service. I highly recommend CJ Plumbing & Heating to anyone who is need. I look forward to doing future business with them. Thanks you!

Mike and his partner repaired the work done by two separate Angie's list plumbers (one sent to repair the errors of the first) who removed my outside faucet pipe through a wall behind a built-in television console, and then shoved it back through the bricks without any attachment, leaving leaking water inside my home.  The resulting water seepage into the cabinet was causing significant damage.  Mike responded to my urgent call, notified me he would have to cut inside the cabinet to fix the problem.  I agreed and he then made fine interior cuts that are not visible from outside the cabinet and are easily repairable inside.  In short order, he then replaced the pipe to perfection!  He also repaired the upstairs sink faucet the prior plumbers had left open pouring into the cabinet also!

I have had Juan come out twice to look at 2 issues. He used his camera scope to diagnose a drain issue and also installed a new sump pump for me.

All around one of the best experiences I have had with a contractor. He was helpful in sharing his knowledge. He didn't take on work where he felt it was outside his expertise. When he did the sump pump install, it was very detailed and the price was very fair.

They were professional, friendly, on time, and best of all they gave me an honest estimate that actually saved me money. Definitely recommend them!
