Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Was having some kitchen sink and sump pump problems. Pat came and took a look. The sink was put together a little wonky (technical term), the vent wasn't high enough and the piping was more complicated than necessary, but overall it was just an issue of the drain never being serviced. They roto'd it and it works soooo much better.

I recently moved into this place and have never had to deal with a sump pump or an ejector pump before, so it was just great peace of mind having Pat take  look. He explained what all the different parts where and what they did. He explained common places of failure and what to look for, but assured me that what I had was in good working order for the time being. If/when the time comes to replace them, I'll definitely give Drain EEZ a call.

This has to be hands down the best hot water heater repair service in Chicago. I jumped on Yelp and found Fastplumbing and gave them a call because our water heater was leaking. Still trying to guess who my second option might be in the event they could not come out the same day, here comes Mac walking into the apartment, no less then 10 minutes after my phone call. He started working right away to diagnose the problem. Mac had the heater dissembled within minutes. We had to replace the heater, which I thought he would have to put in an order and may not get it for a few days. Not the case. Mac was back within the hour, with a new heater and had it installed quickly. From the time I called, to the time the old heater was removed and replaced with the new heater had to be 1 1/2 hours. Maybe less. He also put in some new piping which included a new valve and stems that needed to fit the new heater. It was amazing to see our hot water heater repair done so efficiently. True professionalism, A+. I can't say enough positive things about the whole experience. In true aw. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

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

Excellent!  Got in, did the work and delivered great customer service!

I contacted Levi's Plumbing after finding positive reviews on Yelp. Brian (the owner) responded to my call quickly and he was able to schedule an appointment for the next day.

Brian called me the next day to confirm the appointment and he arrived on time. Initially, I requested that he replace the wax ring for the toilet in one of my two bathrooms. While repairing this toilet, he provided insight into other potential areas for concern. Based on his knowledge and professional demeanor, I asked him to do a full walk through of my condo. He then pointed out a few other areas that needed attention. I had him address each of these areas, which he was able to complete all on the same day.

I was very happy with Brian's work. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I highly recommend Levi's Plumbing and would contact them anytime I have a plumbing issue.

I found Chicago Sewer And Drain Professionals from a Yelp search. My neighbor had water leaking into her unit, and I needed help identifying what was causing the leak and fast service. I loved this company because they were highly professional and quick to respond. The owner had excellent phone etiquette and answered my call right away. I called around 6 am, and the company came out around 9 am the same day. I wasn't 100% if the company did plumbing in bathrooms because the page is marketing as sewers; however, they did. The company identified that my bathroom faucet needed to be replaced, and they would not find the exact model I already had. The faucet was replaced, and I was delighted with the service.

I'm removing a star because the price was not competitive, and I believe I was overcharged. For the level of service and quick turnaround, the control should demand a competitive price, but I was charged ~$350 for the service and $417 with parts. The company did not overcharge me on the pieces because I went to Home Depot the next day and saw comparable prices. The average cost to replace a faucet in Illinois ranges from $150-$350, and I was charged on the higher end of the estimate. Also, I was told I had two bad water valves, which would be an additional $600. I opted not to change the valves by Chicago Sewer And Drain Professionals and had another plumber come out the next day. The second company informed me that I only needed one value replaced and charged me $50. That is a dramatic price difference. Also, the second plumber told me that he could use the old knobs from my previous faucet so I wouldn't have to change the double faucet to match. I wish  Chicago Sewer And Drain Professionals would have shared that option because I discarded the old parts out.

I would recommend quick, professional service, but be aware  of their pricing model.

Jose was great!  He accommodated our schedule and fixed the issue for a great price.  Highly recommend.

I hired AP Construction  to install a brand new full bathroom in my basement. We received several bids from others, but AP Construction was the lowest price and could work around our schedules. The father/son team of Atanas and Eugene were great to work with. They were punctual every morning, coming from the city and arriving in Plainfield by 7:30 am each morning. It only took them 1.5 weeks to complete the full bathroom installation, which included all new piping (underground and above ground), an ejector pit, framing, drywall, and shower installation. These guys are very hard workers and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for plumbing needs and complete bathroom installation.

After 10 years in Chicago, we finally found our plumber. Kevin was prompt and communicative, and our plumber, Arturo, was spot on and FAST, which is great when you're paying by the hour! All told, we paid half of what we were quoted by two other highly rated plumbers on Yelp.

They advertise serving Chicago yet don't service Chicago.  Big RED flag. If you cannot even define your service area in Yelp how can you be trusted to pay attention to detail when doing plumbing service?  They also replied we only do residential without even bothering to ask if my job was residential or commercial. It IS residential!  Complete joke of a company.

Where to begin... yesterday I called up Green Tech Plumbing because of a leaking valve in the crawlspace of my home. Now, normally something like this would be super easy to fix (just tighten the nut) BUT I was nervous to do it myself because I have no idea where the main water shut off is. My house is old, I'd had other plumbers not be able to figure it out, so I thought one just wasn't installed. Anyway, I called and spoke with Kevin, explaining my problems and we talked through the problems and what the solutions would be. He gave me a quote over the phone but said that he would have his guy (who wound up being Tim) look for the water shut off before installing a new one. By the by, my home is old so it is completely possible for there to not be a water shut off valve other than what the water company uses (in case you guys think I'm nuts). Oh, and Kevin said that it would take 3-4 hours to do and would cost $500 - $600. I agreed and we set an appointment for the next day (the leak was just dripping so not an emergency).

Cut to today, Kevin calls to make sure I'm home and tells me that Tim is on his way. Now, I really appreciate this because there is nothing worse than having some strange man show up at your house and you not know who he is or what he's doing. Anyway, about 10 minutes later Tim shows up. I show him to the crawlspace an reiterate the problem. Tim was down there for less than 2 minutes and found the leak, assessed the fix, and found the water shut off. 2 minutes. I was shocked because I had a couple contractors and a plumber not be able to find it! Anyway, I asked Tim to show me exactly where it is and if we could double check that it's the shut off for my entire home. He was super patient and showed me the valve and waited for me to double check all the sinks and tubs. Sure enough, he was right and that was the water shut off. Tim even showed me how to tighten the nut and explained that it's common for a leak of that nature just due to turning the handle on and off. So yeah, I was stoked with all that and the best part? When I asked how much I owed, he laughed and said he didn't do any work so it was free of charge. I mean, I insisted on paying him and he said it was fine and to have a great day! So not only did I get great service from the moment I called and spoke with Kevin. But then Tim shows up and is patient and allows me to follow him around to see what he's doing and to make sure I understand my own house. But no charge?! Wow.

All of that being said, I highly recommend Green Tech Plumbing. I will definitely be using them for all future plumbing projects.

I needed to install:
1) p-trap
2) kitchen faucet

They(Danny/Johnny) came within an hour of my request, did what was asked(and then some, patiently explaining to me what they're doing and why), and honored the quote over the phone.

By the way, the quote was the most reasonable quote I got after contacting 4 other plumber businesses.

By far the best experience I've had with plumbers, or just contractors in general.

Danny and Johnny, thank you and I will not hesitate to call you next time.

Adam with Captain Rooter came in under an hour and within minutes my toilet was fixed! I tried plunging and using a snake, but nothing worked. Extremely professional and answered all my questions!

Everything fixed!

Darrell was great to work with. He was responsive and knew what he was talking about. He tried to take the least intensive/expensive approach to keep the cost down. Will definitely use him again.

Chris came exactly on time to fix a clogged drain in our bathroom sink. He did the job quickly and charged a very fair price for his work. I would highly recommend ABV and definitely will use them again.

These guys were great. Followed all appropriate COVID protocol.  Easily diagnosed my shower problem and sought out an effective fix for it rather than just replacing a bunch of parts. I called in the morning and everything was fixed same day. I like these guys. They're my new go-to guys for plumbing.

I just got a condo and bought it knowing the master bath did not have a working toilet, no water in the tank even with the valve turned on. I sent out the general yelp estimate search and Mike gave me a call back right away. I told him the issue and he was able to come out same day. He got my toilet working fast and helped me with my new shower head. The price was great and will definitely be calling him when i need things done in the future.

Fantastic work. Very quick responders. Juan is the best, patient and knows what he is doing!

Noel was very friendly and did a good job. Would recommend to anyone.
