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.

I had an er electrical issue.  Mo came within an hour found the issue fixed it.  He was fast courteous the price charged was very reasonable I will use his services and refer him to all

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.

Joe and his team are amazing. They were able to meet a very tight deadline to assist me with several repairs needed to sell an estate property. Moody has also assisted my aging parents with a variety of repairs to their older home over a period of many years, helping them to resolve some seriously old plumbing conundrums. They regularly offer ideas to ensure that you receive the very best value from their work, and everything they have done for us has been top notch. It is so refreshing to find such a reliable, honest and genuinely kind professional service these days.

Very responsive and reliable. A pipe bursted. Multiple plumbers either never called us back or confirmed an appointment and then never show up. Trent and Mr Rivera were fast and efficient. They came out in the middle of the night. They made the process so easy and got it fixed in no time. I would definitely use them again for any plumbing needs.
Thank you guys for saving us !

Wow, great service on a tricky problem.  We had sewer backup in a flood drain, flood control issue and a clog.  Reeg thoughtfully diagnosed and fixed all the issues quickly and cost effectively.   Very responsive and friendly team.  Can't say enough about Reeg, they certainly get my business and recommendation.

Reasonably priced however I requested work for a ceiling patch up job and requested that it look flat which it did not after the 1st 2 coats of spackle. The initial price included up to 2 hours of which he worked about 1-1hr15 minutes. He charged an extra hour to apply a 3rd coat. He also forgot to do touch up painting initially which he said he'd do but did a mediocre job after he came back so I will need to repaint anyways. Communication was okay. He does ask for a deposit.

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.

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!

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!

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.

They came out quick, very professional and a good job!! Will be calling these guys again for my next plumbing job!! Thank you!!

I woke up to gas leaks this AM and was shut off by Nicor until they were repaired.  I contacted Andersen's after none of my local plumbers out here in the cornfields could had time for me.  Erin was very understanding and asked if she could have a few minutes to see if she could rearrange schedules and get someone out to me.  Within minutes, I got a call back from Erin to let me know that Gabe would be here in just a couple hours.  Gabe, very personable and a true professional who explained what he was going to do and had it knocked out in a very short time.  They have won me over and are going to be my go to from now on.  I highly recommend Andersen's.

Called to get quote for installing 2 tubs and 2 water closets.     The job was to install a regular tub not a jacuzzi and the toilets are the same floor mounted toilets we all have in our homes.  The guy tells me he needs to see the new and existing tubs and the toilets.  Right away he started by telling me the drains may be different.   Apparently,  he's used to people thinking there must be something extraordinarily different in your regular homedepot.  With that I can tell he's a high priced scammer.  I'm an architect and deal with contractors all day long.  Don't use this guy.

proficient plumbing - but pay a premium.
Tub drain replacement should have been 200-300$, bill was $650. good grief.
Found NAZ plumbing at the hardware store, local family owned in Bridgeview (872) 800-7943 for balance of work, at an affordable price.

**This review is for the service I received from Peter.**

The sink and garbage disposal in our kitchen have been clogging up for the past week or so. I turned to yelp for plumbing suggestions and saw that this company was highly recommended.

When Peter arrived, he diagnosed the problem and accurately determined that the issue was not within our condo but was with lines in the building. He advised me to check in with the condo association for them to fix it.

This is noteworthy because he was not just trying to get paid, but to actually help fix the problem.  When you call plumbers and similar companies, it's usually because you do not know how to resolve the issue on your own and need someone to give good advice.  

Some people take advantage of the fact that you don't know how to fix whatever issue and they try to convince you to do work that you don't actually need.  Not Peter -- he was very honest and like I said, gave accurate advice even though that would have meant not getting paid.  I appreciate people with integrity and would definitely work with Peter again.
