Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

My wife called from the shower in our basement bathroom this morning, the water isn't going down!
I checked the breaker for our ejector pump and found no problem there.

I began searching for a plumber.  I found All Star Plumbing and Sewer.
I called them around 6:30 a.m.
I described my problem to Bill and asked if he could have someone out to look at it today.

Bill got my information and said I would hear from someone by 7:00 a.m.
A bit before 7, Bill called back and informed me Vince would be out before 10:00 a.m.

Vince called me about 8:45 to tell me he was in front of the house.
By 9:20 he had diagnosed the problem and left to pick up a new float switch.  He returned about 10:00 and by 10:30 the part was replaced, adjusted and thoroughly tested.

Great service from Bill and Vince both!  Reasonably priced service, and the work is guaranteed for 1 year.
I think I've found my new plumber!

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.

Well, I read all these great reviews but unfortunately, I had a very different experience with Mo's work. He was hired to switch out an over the sink bathroom light. The job took less than 20 minutes and he charged $230.00, I felt it was a lot high for 20 mins of work, but I agreed. Anyway, he didn't center the light over the sink, and I was very unhappy with the result and let him know it. He got very defensive telling me that it was impossible to center the light over the sink, without moving the electrical box housing the wires, this would entail him putting a hole in the wall, patching the wall and that would cost an additional $180.00 to do and he didn't have the time that day and would have to come back when he was in the area. That brings the cost now to install to $410.00! I was so upset that after he left, with my mother's help, I removed the light from the wall and located the electrical box behind the fixture. I found that all I had to do was remove the 3 anchoring screws on the holding plate, move the holding plate over an inch to be centered over the sink, reinstall the screws in new hole, then rehang the light, to center over the sink.
The next day, though he told me that he rarely comes to my area, he wanted to come by and center the light, and make that easy $180.00. I told him I no thanks and goodbye.  I don't like feeling that I was taken advantage of, but I was.

Needed a new sewer pump and they replaced it in less than 30 minutes. Highly recommend. They are very efficient. They answer right away. Good customer service.

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.

This company is awesome. Trent responded to late night Yelp messages instantly, estimated a great price and had Trinidad Rivera at my door at 9am as promised. Trinidad was in & out in 10 minutes while fixing the problem. Trent & Trinidad are both very nice in addition to the great service performed. Would absolutely use them again and recommend this company.

I've used this service twice and each time was happy! The estimate they gave me to root my sink was lower than a competitor for the first visit. For the second visit, they allowed me to purchase my own replacement kitchen sink disposable which saved me money. They also replaced my faucet.

Responsive, attentive, communicates well. Did good work. I've done repeat business with him.

We needed a quick job of capping off some existing plumbing in our new basement, and these guys were awesome. Oscar was extremely responsive and on top of communication. He got one of his plumbers out quickly and worked within our schedule, and the plumber we worked with was professional and knowledgeable. Got the job done in 30 minutes. I highly recommend!

I had to leave a review for this company who just finished a service on property. Mike and his team are great and honest ! They did a great job for me and drained my sew at a very fair price . If you have any pumbling problem , please don't hesitate to call these guys !

My wife and I own a duplex condo where the lower level is below street level.  We had been experiencing a sewage smell which had been worsening over time.  The smell was emanating from what I thought was a sump pump, so I searched on Google for a plumber who could assist with this issue and found Dominick.

Dominick was fantastic.  When I first called, he answered the phone and asked me to send him some photos of the sump pump so that he could diagnose the issue.  Dominick immediately informed me that I had a sewage pump, not a sump pump.  Also, someone who apparently was not a plumber had installed a backup sump pump, instead of a backup sewage pump, which was completely improper and was causing some of the problems.

Dominick quoted me a price to come over and replace the pump with a new sewage pump.  He was very thorough and spent about 7 hours removing the old pumps and installing a new sewage pump. He also replaced some PVC piping which had been incorrectly installed.  He sealed the piping and the metal cover over the sump pit.  Dominick additionally replaced a valve in the piping which had been loudly slamming shut every time the sewage pump expelled wastewater; he installed a type of dampener which eliminated the slamming sound.

I am very pleased with Dominick's work as the sewage smell is completely gone and the new sewage pump has been working well.  I would definitely hire him again, particularly for complex projects.

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!

I was fortunate enough to have Patrick himself cone out to fix my show do toilet. He was able to fix the problem in under 20min. Very friendly and informative. Well definitely use him in the future

I read a lot of positive reviews and was really excited when my home applience insurance company sent me information that Affordable Plumbing will come and unclog my kitchen sink.
On Wednesday 11/24/2022  Noe(owner) came to look and as I was hoping he would help me to fix the problem.
I knew that I was supposed to pay my service fee $65 which I did before he even bring his tools and start working . He said that I can't use credit card and I can only pay check, cash or transfer money by Zelle.
During that time Noe called my home insurance  which sent him to do the job and find out that company will pay him for his job only $150 and rest of it needs to be paid by me {additional $85). I was pretty sure that
my $65 and insurance $150 would be enough to cover cost of unclogging the sink and refused to pay additional $85.
So, Affordable plumbing became not affordable to me.
Since, it was Thanksgiving long weekend and I realized that I need kitchen sink to be fully functional I called him back and said that I will pay him additional $85 but he answered me that I already left and I have other customers He couldn't tell me when he can come back and did not responded to my texts on Monday.
Tomorrow is a week as my sink supposed to be unclogged if Noe was more Affordable plumber. Not $65+$150+$85
I got Valpak mail with local plumber who can do this job for $89.99
I understand that I lost my money but I decided to share my negative experience.

Yet another messy emergency, and the guys from DiFoggio are there for me. This time, my bathtub and washing machine were backing up into my shower (not in the same place as the tub). I called Monday; they were short a couple guys, so couldn't make it Monday, would Tuesday be okay? Sure; it wasn't the toilets backing up (thank the stars), so it could wait.

The nicest guy showed up Tuesday, took a look at everything, and figured out that the sewer line needed rodding out. He spent a good hour (if not more) trying to cut through the clog with what looked to me to be the world's longest snake. He tried a couple things with that, found that the clog was just too intractable, and suggested coming out the next day with what he called a hydro-jet - a gadget that would shoot 4000 psi water through the pipe; most of the time that does the job. He gave me a price quote on the spot; I was relieved, as I had visions of this costing me upwards of $10K to dig up the yard.

OK. Guys (this is a two-man job now) came back today and set about water-blasting the clog out of the sewer line. It was probably good enough after an hour, but they wanted to really clean everything out, and spent another hour doing just that.

So... now my sewer line is squeaky clean (or as close to it as it's going to get). They didn't mind that I wanted to watch what they were doing, they didn't treat me like an idiot, and it didn't cost anywhere near as much as my first new car. I recommend DiFoggio to anyone who will listen.

Highly recommend Andersen.  Guys were very professional, in addition to replacing my old water heaters, they corrected incorrect plumbing another company installed before we purchased the house.  Cleaned everything up as well.  Would definitely use them again.

the best plumber Relaible trusted great job experience best customer service will recommend

Awesome job!!!! Would recommend Szabo to everyone! 5 star business! They quoted a price and stuck to it, no up charges!

if you delete one review, Yelp will delete all the older ones. So I'm leaving this one here to say that a billing issue was resolved. I'd gone from a 5-star review to a 1-star review on Friday, but the owner emailed and texted me to resolve the issue in less than 24 hours. I don't want to wipe out my complimentary reviews below, but yesterday was chaos. I'm glad this company didn't completely let me down (permanently), considering I'd been one of their biggest cheerleaders for three years straight. I STRONGLY recommend they carefully choose outsourced work though.
