Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Pat and Lou are not only expert plumbers, but great people who obviously really care about the work they do.  I've used their expertise twice within the last year. The first was a for a non-emergency situation for which Pat explained step-by-step what needed to be done and possible negative consequences to properly install our washer and dryer in our newly purchased, cheaply-rehabbed home.  All went well and fortunately(?) I've been able to do laundry sans problems (outside of my laziness) ever since! The second situation was more serious and urgent. I came home last week to an obviously busted pipe in our basement. Apparently the rest of the Chicago-area population was experiencing the same, as no plumber could come out for at least 24 hrs. I called Drain-eez and initially Pat said the best he could do was send someone out the next afternoon. I held on to his appointment but was VERY PLEASANTLY surprised by a call from Pat about an hour later that his plumber Lou would be on his way due their concern that you have no running water and more pipes could burst in the extreme cold causing major, major problems.  How caring and courteous is that?  Lou came out within 20 minutes, figured out the problem, only had to cut a small hole in our wall, and, viola, fixed it!  He gave us some wonderful advice regarding how to avoid this in the future, gave us a Yelp discount after charging us a VERY reasonable rate, and was on his way after what had to have been a very long day for him.  Pat and Lou and Drain-eez are AWESOME!  Call them NOW for your plumbing issues.

Mac was extremely quick and professional. Called him Sunday morning letting him know our water heater was no longer running hot water and less than 24 hours later he was at our apartment replacing the unit at a very reasonable cost. Do not waste your time with other plumbers.

Pete and Noah were not only excellent, but a true blessing for my family. My entire basement flooded right before Christmas, and a few weeks before our child was due. We were extremely horrified and had no idea what had to be done to fix the issue. Pete just happened to be in the neighborhood on another call. I approached him and he came in to review the damage and what was needed to correct the issue. Long story short he was able to clear a flooded basement and install a clean out in 2 days! Pete was awesome, walked us through every step or what he was going to do. We highly recommend  Rescue plumbing, especially Pete, and we have already provided his information to family and friends.

Thank you rescue plumbing and thank you Pete!

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

Scott is a tremendous find! Plumbers can be so expensive and many are kind of unreliable, but Scott is responsive, a great communicator and, most importantly, a very skilled plumber. He fixed our non-working shower in under an hour at a very reasonable price. He's also very friendly--we really enjoyed talking to him and our dog adored him. Highly recommended!

We have used Rocket a handful of times for plumbing projects and couldn't be happier with their work! We've had Dan come out a few times and he is always great. Very professional and knowledgeable!

Had a repair done a few weeks ago where the old pipe was corroded. They came out on time and got a tough repair done, as the plumbing hardware is extremely old (100 yr old bldg).

Had a clogged kitchen drain and we needed a plumber. Although we had a recommendation for another plumber, came onto Yelp and saw the rave reviews for Windy City. Jose came a few days later and was fantastic. He and his assistant were early for the appointment, completed the job in an hour and cleaned up after the work was complete. Not only was he timely, he was pleasant and courteous. He was professional and reasonably priced. You really can't ask for much more! Thanks Jose and Windy City Plumbing.

Look no further, these people are amazing.  After rejecting three other plumbing contractors who were either too expensive or too flaky, we hired First Chicago to replace all of the steel water pipes with copper in our 1904 house and install a new water heater.  They showed up on time, explained everything, involved me in decision making, and did a really solid job. Eugene, who I think owns the business as well as works onsite, was very good natured and took delight in problem solving.   When a couple of punch list items came up after the job, they came back within a week without argument to handle it.  The woman working in their office was smart and pleasant.  Their online customer interface sent detailed estimates, scheduling confirmations and text alerts when the plumbers were on the way.  I was expecting this job to be awful but in fact it was wonderful.

I called very last minute and Kevin and his partner had no problem making time for me even though it was well into their day. I really appreciated it. They did great work and were both super professional. I highly recommend them.

Honest and responsible professional. You can trust Jesus. He paid us a house call after we had a frozen pipe. I was out of town and my wife had to deal with it with two little kids.. He had advised us to run the dryer and put space heaters in the laundry room to thaw the washer line and it worked but only after he was on his way. He arrived when he said he would and found the pipe to have thawed. HE DIDNT CHARGE ANYTHING FOR THE HOUSE CALL!

Whenever my family and friends ask for a business reference, I go to yelp & look up reviews.   Few weeks ago, my sister's Sump pump went out & had a random plumber give her an estimate.    And let me tell you, he was ripping her off.    So I told my sister, Let me check Yelp.    I found Green Tech Plumbing Company & saw they had great reviews.   I gave her their information & she set up an appointment the next day.  

Believe it or not, the Green Tech plumber was honest, gave her a quote 1/5 of the last 'quote'  and he replaced their sump pump within two hours.  

My sister really appreciated that referral from me.   So even if I did not use Green Tech directly, I wanted to share the positive experience my sister had.

Prompt response and very educational to boot!

I called Captain Rooter this morning and had someone out within a few hours within the time frame I told them I was available in. Adam A. was my technician and he was great! Found the problem quickly and made sure I was comfortable with what he needed to do to fix my issue.

Will call again and ask for Adam for any future plumbing issues.

It's hard to find a contractor you can trust and we finally found someone with Darrell. He is very fair, reasonable, and understanding. We had a minor electrical issue and he fixed it without charging us. In addition we had some major plumbing work and Mike and his guys were very professional and hard working. Darrel walked us through the whole process and gave us a fair price. He followed up personally even though he was working on a different job. I highly recommend Sims and Sons.

Showed up with a mask on and put booties on to ensure floors stayed dry (it was raining). Quickly snaked our drain and confirmed with me the issue was resolved.

We had a drain backup in the basement and needed help fast. Dmitri arrived on time, observed CoVid protocol, took off his shoes without having to be asked, and went right to work. He diagnosed the problem, worked hard to resolve the issue, and made some great suggestions to avoid future problems with tree roots in the pipes. He was polite, efficient, and thorough. I also spoke with the owner (also named Dmitri) and he was very easy to reach quickly, and quite helpful. I recommend this company!

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!

We began calling multiple companies as we had limited time in Chicago with my 95 year old aunt before heading back to Florida. Juan was quick to respond and come to give us an estimate. We showed him 3 areas on her 90 year old pipes that had leaks and he gave us a price. During the repair he found the leak was way inside the wall. He said he'd try to reach it through an access hole already in the wall but may need to go by the actual tile/tub side. Oh no we thought. He did repair using the access side. Every step of the way he explained what he needed to do. We also threw in a possible kitchen sink and cabinet replacement which he was ready to tackle with his teenage son and my husband but we decided not to do it in the end. He had already cut a hole in the counter top which was perfect and we are holding onto it for future use. His son Eddie, was a great laborer and very polite. We will never use anyone else for our plumbing needs in Chicago. No one could beat his prices for the amount of time he spent with us. Thank you so much Juan and Eddie.

Honestly, I'm writing this review because I keep thinking that the name starts with Four something, but it's actually Five.  I've been a customer several times over the years and Noel has always been consistently very knowledgeable, a combination of friendly and professional, and very responsive.  I will always recommend this company to my friends!
