Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

We had a leaking toilet - called Drain-EEZ based on 2 previous great experiences with them. Although it took 2 visits to complete the project, they helped us fix the problem and were just wonderful with their customer service.

If you want honest advice, keen prices and phenomenal customer service then Mac at Fastplumbing 247 is the man for you. My water heater - needless to say just a few months out of warranty - went on the blink on a Friday evening and I began the long call round to find someone who could install a replacement promptly and at a competitive price. Mac stood out for his fast response time and straightforward advice and once I had settled on a new Rheem unit, his pricing was on the mark as well. We agreed on what was required at 2pm and I had hot water by 6pm - and on a Saturday too. Mac's Yelp standing is no fluke - he really is very, very good. Extremely highly recommended.

TLDR; If you have ANY plumbing issues, Javier & Jonathan at Rescue Plumbing is there to fix them for the long run.

Wow! I cannot get over how Javier and Jonathan's knowledge of plumbing and frozen pipes, circumvented our 150 year old 2 flat from having all busted pipes to just 4 lousy pipes. After the negative temps hit Chicago right before Xmas 2022, December 23rd, our water completely froze. Javier and team came out that same day and immediately worked in negative temps to try and thaw the lines. I have never seen such determination. He ended up shutting the water completely off to prevent the pipes from bursting when they would start to thaw. He returned December 28th, when the temps rose and thoroughly checked all pipes to ensure that they weren't leaking. We had 4 burst and both Javier and Johnathan worked quickly to find, stop, and fix the pipes. Minimal damage to both units and fixed within a couple hours. They took their time and left the house making sure that everything was working. I cannot get over the professionalism and support that Javier and Jonathan plus the rest of the Rescue Plumber staff shared with us during the holidays and one of the coldest weeks so far in Chicago.

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

Scott responded right away, was very easy to work with, solved the problem and charged a very reasonable rate.

I've dealt with plumbers who are good at their work, but bad at communicating, and others that communicate well but don't do the job very effectively.  Scott is the best of both worlds.  He sent me several texts over the course of 24 hours updating his status and ETA.  That's a real comfort when you need the plumber there right away.  Highly recommended.

This weekend I learned that plumbers are the ones you call to fix a gas leak!

*Insert The More You Know graphic*

Yes, we got a call from the renter of my old condo that the gas company had been by to investigate a leak in the building and (OF COURSE BECAUSE 2020 IS A MONSTER) out of almost 100 units, ours was the one that had the leak. The gas company turned off the gas and said, C-ya! and told us to find someone to fix it. I didn't even know who to call for such a repair but a quick internet search told me that many plumbers do it. So I immediately went to Yelp and started searching.

A few request a quote searches later and the speedy Rocket Plumbers reached out to me to say they could send someone by the next day (aka, today) to fix it. We were lucky (lol) that the pipe with the leak was already IDed by the gas company and that was easily accessible in the basement so they just had to come and check everything out and make the repair which took just a couple of hours. Admittedly it wasn't a super cheap job but crucial for safety so it had to be done.

The communication with the company was great and everyone was so friendly and pleasant. From the first communication via request a quote to the fella who called me this morning to set up the appointment, to the technician calling me to tell me it was all finished, the conversations were friendly and easy going.

It's always stressful when something goes wrong and you're a few states away but I'm grateful that we could find a reliable company to work with. Thanks, Rocket Plumbing!

Chicago Sewer and Drain Professionals were amazing! I contacted them via Yelp late at night about a leaking sink. They responded within hours and arranged to come by the next day. When they came they were able to figure out my leaking sink in just a couple of minutes, had the supplies to fix it on hand, and offered to look at another slow draining sink in my bathroom while they waited to make sure the fixed sink was no longer leaking. They also gave me so many great tips on how to handle clogged sinks in the future. I can't recommend them enough! I will definitely call them the next time I need plumbing help.

Just had a great appointment with Chris and Isaiah from Windy City plumbing. We had a sink clog, and set an appointment to clear it out. We weren't even going to bring up an issue we were having on the other side with the disposal, but they were able to fix both in less than 15 minutes! They were friendly and Mayra was responsive and flexible and in planning the appointment. Will definitely use again!

Fast response, quick estimates.  They arrived on time, workers masked up, worked quickly and respected our property.  They carefully wrapped our furnace and water heater and cleaned up before they left.  I was very pleased with the quality of their work .
Highly recommended.

I had several Plumbing Companies look at and bid on my project; completion of a custom shower so installation of the trim and fixtures. It was however a complex custom shower including steam, a ceiling rain shower unit, body spays and more. During the bid process I encountered indifferent, snarky and demeaning plumbers who were not even familiar with the new/ current fixtures. Not Kevin and company, they are current, up to date and knew exactly what to do. Kevin took on the challenge with out blinking and was genuinely and sincerely interested in the challenging job and making us thrilled with the results. The attention to detail and the quality of work delivered was exceptional. When they saw a potential problem they figured out a way to move past it quickly. They were transparent about cost, arrived on time and were a most excellent value based on some of the bids I recieved. Don't trust your home to some out dated, snarky, indifferent plumbing company, no need to call anyone else.

Thank you so much. Cleared out drain issue quickly. Very respectful, clean, and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!

GT has become our go to plumbing and they are always courteous and clean. Just in the last couple weeks we have a leaky shower, new sump pump and laundry sink installed. All done right the first time. They are responsive and work with your schedule.

I needed service today because I had a pipe burst from the cold and I had to shut down all water to my house. They gave a quote thru yelp and were able to come out within 90 minutes of me calling them. Their service was excellent, fast and they took care to keep things clean. The plumbers were very friendly and we talked about future work they wil be doing for me. And oh ya, the price was VERY reasonable! I recommend them and will be using them again in the future. Too bad all businesses weren't run as well.

We've basically had two separate complicated and emergent issues that Adam from Captain Rooter diligently worked on. He's truly a conscientious, dedicated technician and I would 100% recommend asking for him when calling Captain Rooter.

We had a drain fly issue that had persisted for over a year. We suspected it was a plumbing problem coming from the mechanical room but had no idea where. Adam came and did not  give up. He was determined to find the source. Not all technicians would have that tenacity and it was much appreciated. He even went above and beyond and implemented other measures to ensure the drain flies couldn't get in. He was great at explaining what the issue was and how he found and fixed it, with total transparency.
 
We called Captain Rooter another time and asked for Adam, specifically.  Two toilets in our basement had stopped flushing. Our plumbing situation was pretty extreme as it wasn't noticeable for a while. Adam was, as expected, diligent and determined and explained that our ejector pump had stopped working. Before installing the new one he showed me the broken one and explained the mechanism that was causing the issue.

Adam truly puts my mind at ease because I trust his dedication and quality of his work. He's extremely personable and professional as well as trustworthy and dependable. It's worth repeating that you should definitely request Adam to help whenever calling Captain Rooter.

Recently bought a condo and needed electrical work done in multiple rooms. Reached out to Sims and Sons and immediately heard back from Darrell. He gave us a call right away and arranged for Enis to drop in to bid out the work. Just a few days later Enis was back and got everything done in a day! We needed switches relocated, additional outlets added, sconces removed and he got it all done with minimal cuts in the drywall.  He explained everything well and was extremely knowledgeable and friendly!

Completely recommend ABV Plumbing! Very reasonably priced, extremely prompt to reply and flexible scheduling. I had a toilet job at my condo that when ABV came out determined the water shutoff valve was rusted so I needed to reschedule service after working with the association to shut off the water. They were flexible with the changes and also made other recommendations they noticed were wrong with the toilet. Very thorough in every aspect. I'll definitely use ABV again!

We had some water leaking from our ceiling under a bathroom. I put out several request for quotes on Yelp and Dmitry was one of the first to respond and the only one who didn't push me off until business hours or ask for a consultation first before offering an appointment. We chatted within minutes of my response to him; he offered some troubleshooting over the phone, and was able to get someone out to us within 36 hours.
Lenny arrived to the minute of his promised arrival time, was very efficient, and did a nice job explaining what was needed. He even looked at and addressed an unrelated issue for us. And he left us with a very nice gel pen.

I HIGHLY recommend this company!

I did the Yelp thing where they send out requests for quotes to a few vendors and Mike replied right away, and once I had a chance to call him he was able to get to my place about an hour later and fix my kitchen water pressure and connect the water line to my refrigerator. Mike was cool and personable and obviously good at what he does, and the price was fair and in line with a couple other guesstimates I had looked at. A good experience overall and I will call him first next time I need a plumber.

Just like other reviewers stated, Juan was super responsive and reasonable. I sent in my request on Yelp and he was one of the first companies responded.  Juan contacted me via phone and text, and sent me the quote and appointment within minutes! I'm so glad that I selected A&Y Plumbing based on the rave reviews from their customers. Hence I'm writing this review so others can benefit from their services.

We appreciate the professionalism and resourcefulness that Juan and his crew demonstrated throughout the whole process. They are not only very respectful and arrived on time, but also very good and thorough at what they do. They quickly identified and fixed the cause of the problem, explained how to prevent it from happening again, and also pointed out a couple of other areas to keep an eye on. My daughter was also very impressed by Juan's communication skills and mindfulness of the on-going pandemic. The crew strictly followed the CDC guidelines and kept their masks and shoe coverings on the whole time during the onsite visit.

Thank you Juan so much for all you did to save the day! You will be the first plumber in Chicago that we and our friends will call on in the years to come. Best wishes!

Noel was great! Quick and clear communication, was able to quickly come out, identified and resolved all of our problems and did so with complete professionalism every step of the way! Would highly recommend!

He rotted out our tub, assessed pipes and garbage disposal, and installed a new sump pump, along with its backup.
