Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

I own a town home.  I've had numerous problems with my sewer and have had several plumbers look at it.  Most recently about 25 feet of sewer line outside my garage crashed.  The first plumber knew there was a problem because he put about 40 feet of rod through the clean out in the kitchen, which came with the house.  He noted that it was only about 17 feet to the sewer main.  He didn't have a camera and never came back.  I called the plumber I normally use.  I thought that if I was going to change a pipe, I might as well have a clean out installed.

He located the problem and dug a hole about 5 feet down.  There wasn't a pipe there.  Before talking to me, he dug a hole a couple feet away and changed a pipe to install a clean out.  He threw out the pipe before I could see it and tried to convince me that there was a second problem.  He didn't come back to seal the hole until I called the Illinois Attorney General.  I called a third plumber who located the problem in the common area.  He dug a hole so deep they hand to dig a stairway so they could get in and out.  I called a fourth plumber who located the break on a 45 degree angle in the common area.

I contacted All Star Plumbing and Sewer.  Michael found the problem right away.  They dug a hole about 3 feet deep  6 inches from where the second plumber dug his first hole around 2 feet from the end of the clean out.  The pipe actually went straight down.  It kind of makes sense because some units had basements, but the issue is I had about 15 feet of unnecessary pipe and about 3 unnecessary turns.  All Star fixed that design flaw by putting an elbow on the end of the pipe and turning it out.  They verified that there were no tie ins after that point.  I put gallons of water through that pipe to test it.  It works great.

The other thing is All Star is legit.  As part of the due diligence, I checked his license with both Chicago and Illinois on their web site.  He gave me a copy of his insurance certificate.  I even checked his business with the State of Illinois and it's in good standing.  He gave me the permit and dig numbers.  I could see where the utility companies marked the lines.  I was there with the building inspector when he examined the work.  He wouldn't take Bill or my word for anything.  He wanted to see it.  The inspection passed with flying colors.  He was listed as A+ on the Better Business Bureau's web site.  His Yelp reviews were all 5 Star.  I agree All Star Plumbing and Sewer deserves all the stars so I'm giving them another 5 start review.  The icing on the cake is their price is reasonable.

I was very happy with their installation of my Rheem hybrid heat pump water heater. It was kind of complicated and I was having a hard time finding someone to install it. They did it quickly and at a good price. Thanks again.

Great job, very responsive and professional. I had a small punch list of repairs, all taken care of easily!

We had a bad situation in our crawlspace with water escaping from a blown check valve. A&T came out within the hour to stop the water and replace the sump pump that was old. The line was also rodded out. The work was done timely, efficiently and professionally. We are happy with the service and highly recommend to others. Also, the company is very knowledgeable in mold and offers corrective remediation solutions.

We had a few major things that need to be done and this crew worked with our budget and got the job done under schedule. This is what you want in plumbers, right? Good and friendly crew. Best of all they were unfazed by my very excited dog. Well, actually, the best part was they got the job done.

Have used A Solutions several times over the years for jetting our sewer line and they have always been very responsive, professional and answered all of our questions.  Highly recommend!

I had the opportunity again to use Reeg Plumbing. I wanted to replace my old water heater. Chris called back within minutes to give me a quote and I hired his company again without hesitation. The plumbers at Reeg Plumbing have always been professional and courteous. The work they do is outstanding, efficient, clean and the job is always done the right way the first time. I will never use another  company for my plumbing needs ever. Thanks again to all the employees at Reeg Plumbing.

Denny helped remove an old mailbox and helped install a new one in our building. He was efficient with his time and charged at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend him for any handyman services.

Our basement flooded on a Saturday afternoon after running our washing machine, so I put out a request through yelp and Oscar responded within 5 minutes. He was there within two hours, diagnosed the problem and then came back the next morning (Sunday) to replace an ejector pump. His price was very competitive and he worked really hard to solve the problem the right way. Also, Lilly was very reassuring over the phone that they would get the problem diagnosed correctly before doing any work. Most importantly, I didn't have to wait for great service. Thanks, Oscar and Lilly!

Our shower had a steady leak. I called Michael and left a message. He returned my call quickly, asked me detailed questions to suss out the problem, and gave me a fair price for the repair.
Miguel called me the next morning and came over immediately to fix the leak.
He was very professional.
I definitely recommend this business, and plan to use them again for future fixes.

Highly recommend Dominick! He is incredible reliable and quick to respond. He also explains everything in detail which I really appreciate. We had a plumbing emergency on a Sunday and we needed him to come out and he came out within an hour and fixed everything promptly. He is also so friendly and great with kids and dogs as a plus.

They always come to help my business! They do an amazing job, they are so honest and come quickly when I need someone last minute. I would highly recommend them to any business looking for an honest quick fix to your plumbing problems! Thank you Red Hot Plumbing!

Patrick is awesome!  He helped us with a big sewer issue last spring and, today, just fixed a bad blockage in our basement.  He's prompt, reliable, and gives you the straight scoop in terms of your options.  We've given his name to several friends and will use him again!

Great work! Very responsive! Came and fixed leaking water pipes at an affordable rate. Would definitely recommend

We had a pretty bad clog in our shower and they thoroughly took care of it. Service was great and price was pretty reasonable. I'd definitely call them again for future issues.

Totally awesome experience.  Inside people Erin and Morgan were polite and knowledgeable and the installers were awesome.
They were on time and cleaned up after.
Quote was right on the money.

We've found our forever plumber!

Woke up to our sump pump running continuously and producing a really strong electrical smell from the pit.  Unplugged it immediately and first called a different plumbing service that was recommended by a local Facebook group.... That other plumber's answering service said they would have a plumber call me back. I got tired of waiting for them after a while, so I called Right Away who was able to actually dispatch someone *right away* and Jorge arrived within the hour.

He replaced the dead sump, did a check of our entire system and found a related issue, fixed that, and also installed some other parts throughout the house to help keep things flowing smoothly. All of the work was done fast (but not in a way where I felt like he rushed) and for a cost less than an earlier quote I had for just a sump replacement without diagnostic or preventive work.

Jorge happily described all of the work he was doing and showed a real passion for his work and pride of a job well done.

Friendly, patient, passionate, reasonable prices, and no extra charge for working on Saturday!  With overwhelming many options for plumbers in Chicago, I'm glad to have landed on someone I can trust.

Flawless work!
  I needed a kitchen sink, dishwasher, and fridge all hooked up as well as some old waterlines replaced. Joe and Lucas came out and did a great job. Everything was left clean, no leaking, no mess, and a fair price for a perfect job. These guys are professional, on time, communicative, and handled everything above and beyond expectations. Most importantly: The wife was happy to see everything finished up. Great job on the whole install. Five stars all around. Having dealt with garbage plumbers in the past who only care about the money and getting out, definitely call SZABO when you need any plumbing handled. Honesty, knowledge, and professionalism go a long way and it shows in the level of work from start to finish.

I have been dealing with 4S plumbing for few years, every time they provide excellent service that make me come back.

Two days ago we had problem with bathtub faucet leaking issue, I called 4S, they sent great plumber, Marcus, he is so professional and very nice guy, he diagnosed the issue and fixed it quickly with very competitive price.

Definitely will keep working with 4S plumbing and I believe they are providing the best plumbing service in Chicago.
