I had a leaky pipe in my basement that led to the rest of my house. Not knowing a thing about plumping, I called Drain-EEZ Plumbing and within 3 mins, Pat had given me quick DYI tutorial on how to address the issue. Turns out the packing nut wasn't as tight as it should've been, resulting in water seeping out.

It took 10 mins of effort, a wrench and a ladder and I averted having to pay hundreds of dollars to have Pat come out and do it himself, all thanks to Pat himself!!

This is how you know that these guys really care about wanting to help people. Pat could've easily come out and earned the money but he wanted to make sure that the problem was definitely something I couldn't fix on my own before he came out. What a great day.

I definitely won't hesitate to call and pay for Drain-EEZ's service when something big does happen!

These guys were great! We needed a new water heater and Mac and Jimmy walked me through all of the options. They were professional, timely, and clean. I would definitely use fast plumbing again.

This company is amazing. We had a massive flood in our basement due to a malfunction in our sump pump. Eric and Rick arrived within 10 minutes. Resolved the issue promptly and got the restoration and mitigation crew over within an hour. While it was a terrible ordeal, this company provided the solution we needed. Will definitely use them again if needed.

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

I had couple of issues at my place from shower not working to kitchen sink.  I was looking for a plumber who was reliable and did a good job after having some bad experiences in the past with the quality and reliability.  Scott was recommended by a friend.  He called me prior to his appointment to let me know that he is running 30 minutes late and he did get at my place on time.  He was able to get all the job done within few hours. Now I can enjoy my shower again!!

UPDATE: Brian, the owner, immediately reached-out following this review concerned about our experience. We contacted him and walked through everything. He offered to correct the issue at no additional charge, bring all necessary parts, and send plumbers he could personally vouch for. They completely redid the toilet and redid the piping under the sink. The correction was above and beyond what we would have expected.

I can appreciate that things don't always go as planned and the response is even more critical. He wasn't defensive but really wanted to help us out. At 7 months pregnant without working plumbing - I certainly appreciate how easy he made it.

Not a good experience. Highlights:

-had them come out to quote work for a faucet, disposal and toilet fix
-told us the parts we needed to supply and we had them ready to go
-show up and immediately say we need valves replaced for another $300. If it was that blatantly visible why was it not included on the quote?
-insist that the drainage is correct even though the individual who quoted us said it was absolutely wrong and needed to be changed or overflow from a blockage would go into our dishwasher - at a minimum they need to get their story straight. We still paid the full quoted price even though none of this was adjusted.
- didn't look closely enough at the toilet issue upon quoting to let us know we needed a new handle. Ok, I can take part of that blame we should have asked/had greater general awareness. But, because of that the job was left incomplete. From a pricing standpoint, initially I was told the toilet would be tossed in for free, then the quote was amended to $97 for the toilet which we were charged and told it's be another $90 to come back and install the handle - basically, double. So we still have a non-functioning toilet.
-the job took several hours to complete with at least one extended break (for a faucet, disposal and toilet)
-they were on time and generally pleasant to us
- could not supply a labor warranty to us upon completion

-pricey, conflicting stories and an inability to correctly quote even in home results in 2 stars..

Thomas was very communicative, he came out to the property to provide a free quote, and he promptly sent the quote pdfs. I was disappointed after talking with another plumber at how Thomas seemed to be trying to up-charge us for repairs and procedures that were not necessary to fix our problem. I don't think I will reach out again to Thomas, despite his good communication, as trust was broken by the amount he was proposing charging.

***UPDATE***
For potential clients reading this review: A year passing since this quote was sent makes my review all the more relevant. We ended up having the check valve and sump pump replaced for $1300 total. Chicago Sewer & Drain quoted us $1100 for camera/hydrojetting the main sewer line, $1600 for an ejector pump replacement, $1200 for a sump pump replacement, and the check valve replacement would be included with other repairs. We had significant savings with the approach we took (over $2000), and everything works perfectly fine over a year later. This is why I characterized the quotes as upsell.

Chris and Sam stuck with a tough job of gaining access to rod out my sewer line through the catch basin in a 100 year old Oak Park house.  They tried two or three solutions before nailing it and running 60' of line to the street. (The lip to the sewer pipe is broken; it's 8 feet down inside a 2 foot hole; the geometry makes it very tricky to get the cutting blade in the line...)  I think I've had other companies give up and fake it, but I watched the Windy City team do it right. Thanks!

Excellent service, showed up on time and did quick professional work.  They informed me before they came about what I should have so they wouldn't have to come out twice and charge me. Which I appreciated.  Highly recommend.

Excellent. Amazing. Fantastic. Professional.
We had a leak that needed investigation and we wanted to fix it without having to tear out too much floor/wall. The team are incredible and were able to establish the cause of the leak, then they went over and above to test the cause and outline the subsequent work needed.
Thank you very very much!

Responsive, reliable, great value and professional staff. They responded to my request for service on a Sunday afternoon. I requested they come out Tuesday morning. They arrived early and were very knowledgeable and helpful. Would definitely recommend using them!

Greentech has been our go-to company for our plumbing needs ever since we found them on Yelp about 6 years ago.  Over the years, we had them rod a sink and bathtub, install a new bathroom sink and toilet, replace a sump pump, and put in a new kitchen faucet.

Today we had Greentech install a new water heater.  When we started hearing unusual noises coming from our old water heater (crackling and sizzling noises), it was very quick and easy to get an estimate and to get installation scheduled. Chris did the installation, and he was very professional and courteous. Turns out our old water heater was overdue to be replaced by about 10 years! We appreciate the thorough explanation Chris provided on the new unit. We have a good understanding of what is needed to make sure the water heater operates as it should for many years to come.

We highly recommend Greentech. They do great work and they stand by their products and labor.

My wife's bathroom sink was clogged and not draining properly. I called Midwest Hydro to setup and appointment and they responded immediately. Danny and Jose showed up, took apart the bottom parts of the sink and showed me what the culprit of the clog was. They removed and cleaned all parts and fixed the sink in a matter of minutes. They cleaned their work area thoroughly and were out in less than an hour. Danny and Jose were both professional and personable in their job, and I would highly recommend this company and this tandem of Danny & Jose without hesitation. Great job and great people.

** I'd also like to add that this company provides a 30-day warranty with their work. I doubt that I'll need to use it, but it's very comforting that it is available in the event of need. **

I rarely need plumbing services. These guys got out on a Sunday and did a phenomenal job. Quick fix quick diagnosis. Awesome job!

Daryl and team are flexible, knowledgeable, and trustworthy.

You can count on them to do the work that's asked of them and a bit more.

Reliable, fast and honest!  Gave me a very reasonable estimate, arrived on time and quickly replaced my bathtub spout.   I'm going to tell everyone about this business!

The owner Dmitri was quick to get ahold of me to schedule a same-day service for my kitchen and bathroom sink that had some clogging issues. Lenny then showed up within a couple hours and was very helpful when it came to explaining everything. My wife and I were extremely pleased with the professional service and reasonable pricing.

Very good will recommend him anytime I need a plumbing service
Price as stated Easy to contact

I was having issues with maintaining hot water in my condo unit.  After reaching out to numerous plumbers and receiving a variety of pricing I decided to hold my hopes up in Juan at A&Y Plumbing and I am glad I did.  Juan and his son Andy were couteous and knowledgeable. What i liked about Juan was that he stuck with his original quote even though the job took longer than expected due to piping issues. How often does that happen?  Most contractors I have dealt with in the past always tried to upsell and you end up arguing with them and who needs that stress?  Not me, thats for sure but Juan was so easy going he made the whole process painless.  After job was finished he explained thoroughly exactly what the job entailed.  Another thumbs up for Juan.  So in summation, I Would definitely RECOMMEND A&Y Plumbing services to anyone who wants an easygoing process, knowledgeable employees and work finished beyond compare.  As Juan said before he left.  I want to make sure everything is done right and my customers are my top priority.  No lie there

Noel is absolutely the best.  On time, professional, fairly priced and very efficient and knowledgeable.  Helped us out in an emergency on a Sat afternoon.  Very pleasant experience.  No hesitation in recommending his service
