Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Asked for a quote both through Yelp and direct email.  Never had a reply.  My issue may not be solvable but at least I should have received a response saying that.  Instead, silence.

Replaced old water heater with a great Rheem unit quickly the following day after calling. Work was done in about an hour after they arrived. Great work all around.

This is not meant to be a bad or good review but a neutral review so readers can decide and do their due diligence for estimates. .  I contacted Rescue plumbing because my building needed a licensed plumber to change 10 shut off valves in our 18-year-old building.  I figure if 2-3 needed changing then might as well do all of them since all were wearing out. They sent 2 pleasant and professional guys to give an estimate and were on time. The team leader told me they usually charge $425 per valve but since I need 10 done they will give me reduced price of $275 a valve totaling $2750, materials included.  I told him that's too much and he said other plumbers will charge the same price, which I knew was not the case.

Usually I would not leave such a review but they didn't know that I know about construction prices. My unlicensed plumber changed the toilet valve about 4 years ago for only $50 and it took him 10 minutes.  I then asked the building for a referral, which I should have done in the first place, and got a licensed plumber, who charges by the hour, to change all 10 valves for $600 parts included and easily finished in less than 2 hours.   The kicker is that the management told me of  another plumber who charged  twice as much as Rescue plumbing which we laughed at.

I'm sure Rescue plumbing does good work from their good reviews and I wish I could afford to pay  their price but I can't. If they can get customers to do so then more power to them!  I would recommend customers to hire a licensed plumber who charges by the hour. The going rate is $150-$250 depending on the company.

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

Amazing service!
Live outside of state, Scott worked great with tenants to quickly repair leaking garbage disposal.
Fast reliable and reasonable
Highly recommend business for plumbing repairs.

Great job! Great crew! I had some issues that needed addressed ASAP, called around 930/10 Sam was there by 11, had my issue taken care of within an hour.  The scheduler was super nice, Sam and assistant were amazing and the price was perfect! Who could ask for anything more.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! First of all, Thomas and his team are the third plumbers we had come out after buying a gut rehab back in 2019. We had flooded MANY times since then. It was a literal nightmare over and over. No one could ever find the issue and fix it once and for all! We would have saved ourselves a lot of pain, money, and heartache if we had found this team first. Finally, NO flooding. Thomas came out the same night I called him, because it was raining and he wanted to see if he could figure it out as it was starting to make puddles in our basement. We did not have an appointment until a few days later, but he called and cared so much about our issue and said I will be there in a half hour. No charge! He then got his crew out there within a few days starting on one of the two problems that NOT ONE other professional figured out. Then after both projects were done, he went over the top to help us once again, by agreeing to fill our concrete that had been dug out due to one of the projects. He felt the concrete companies were charging us too much and they fixed the sidewalk themselves. I promise that I am a very particular customer who had extreme basement flooding and we will never trust anyone else again! This company should be the first place you call if there are any issues at all or you just need an honest plumber.

Jose and his crew are the greatest, honest and give attention to detail. I just moved into my home and had plumbing issues. He fixed them all and I will definitely rehire him to complete my laundry room.
Hire this company asap! They get the toughest job done.

i had my new kitchen faucet installed this morning and i am quite happy with the work done. they were punctual and professional and the price was right. i would highly recommend them!

Thank goodness for Kevin & his awesome team. I've used them many times over the years and have never had anything but a 5-star experience. They're all super nice guys who do great work without trying to gauge you on the price. After bad experiences using other companies, I will NEVER use anyone else in Chicago.

Jesus was quick to respond and give me an estimate for our toilet installation. He was super communicative and clear with the whole process. Seeing that we bought a tricky toilet ourselves, Jesus was really patient with the challenge and made sure everything was accurate and securely balanced. We will definitely use him and his team for future repairs and installations.

Excellent and fast service. Kevin was very quick to get back to my service request and everything was handled without any problems. Was able to get out on the first day that worked for me and got everything handled with ease. Thanks!

I have never had such thorough workers ever!  Your guys are fabulous and did an outstanding job.  Danny wasn't satisfied until my plumbing was running like brand new!  And the cost was very reasonable!  I will recommend Midwest to everyone I know who needs plumbing/rodding/sewer work done.  GREAT JOB!   Thank you so much!

Do not use this company!  They use unlicensed plumbers that have significant criminal history that caused over 25k of water damage in our condo!  (You can find full names of workers in other reviews...doing a quick google search will show you that they have robbed stores, drug history, etc).  
We called captain rooter to fix a leaky faucet on 2/15.  They send Dylan and Jonathon.  They had to cut into our walls by our toilet and faucet because they said we had a bad shit off valve.  They cut the pipe out around our faucet.  All fine.  They were going to come back the following week to fix it.  Never heard back from Dylan.  We called the main line again.  They then sent us Adam and James.  Adam then said if we pay him directly, he can do the job cheaper.  Fine!  We don't care!  Just want the job done.  It had already been 2 weeks with holes in our walls and no sink upstairs.  We paid him $1300 in cash.  He put 'shark bites' in our walls.  We thought the job was fixed and then woke up on a Saturday morning to water leaking in our downstairs foyer ceiling...upstairs floors ruined.  Downstairs floors ruined.  Called Joel again from Captain Rooter...he then sent Andrew.  Andrew came in and could not believe the damage and destruction that the previous 'plumbers' caused.  Andrew was there all day fixing the problem and then charged us $2028 for the job.
We are currently dealing with our homeowners insurance and all sorts of damage done to our condo.  Joel from Captain Rooter has been less than helpful.  He states it's not his fault.  
Just an FYI, I learned a lot about plumbing law during all of this.  Whenever you get a plumber, ask for their license and COI.  You can also look them up on IDPH website by name to verify.
Do not use this company!!!  If any one wants more info, I'm happy to share...just don't want to be a total Karen.  Just trying to save someone else from going through this DISASTER.  
Every plumber they send us was not licensed.  As a consumer, we had no idea this was a thing!  On their website, it clearly states licensed, bonded, insured.   They are most definitely not.

We had some outlets and a light fixture go out in our rental unit. Happened to find Sims and Sons on here and gave them a call due to their good reviews. After less than a day of texting they had a tech come to fix the problem within 2 days. Anel was a great help and he even came early (with a good amount of warning and communication on timelines).

The issue was thankfully very simple, and both Anel and HQ were in constant contact as they worked through the possible solutions and what it might take to fix them. Should I need anything else done, I'll call them in a heartbeat.

Very professional. Super clean. Came prepared with parts and equipment. Highly recommended.

We needed to replace our kitchen faucet, and Dmitry was very responsive and helpful in helping us select and install the right one.  Dmitry's colleague (another Dmitry) came to our home and installed it promptly, explained everything he was doing and cleaned up afterward.  He also was friendly and willing to answer all our questions, and Dmitry called to follow up and ensure we were satisfied upon completion of the project.

We would definitely use them again, and appreciate their good service.

Noticed our garbage disposal was leaking on a Sunday and sent Mike a text. An hour later, he was at my place installing the new unit. Fast, super friendly and got the job done without any issues. Quality experience across the board!

We had a leaking garbage disposal that we found out about on a Friday night. Juan came out the very next day and replaced it for me at a very reasonable price. He also fixed a p trap that was about to leak with some spare parts that he had in his truck.

On top of that he also gave me some great advice on some other plumbing projects that I'm working on.

I will be reaching out to Juan for all my future plumbing needs.

Noel is the best.  He just left.  Super nice guy.  I only had a minor sink issue and he showed me how to fix it myself so I don't have to call next time.  Pretty affordable and very clean.  No complaints.  Highly recommended.
