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.

Mo is great.  He is quick to respond, and asks for a few measurements that will help speed up his process.

We had a kitchen cabinet that was coming away from the wall.  He had a plan in place and it worked perfectly.

Mo is fast, efficient, safe, and thorough.  This is my first task I brought to him, but I hope to provide him with more work in the future.

He may be cash only, be prepared.

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.

Can't say more positive things about Joe at Moody Plumbing. He was a fraction of the price of others, very quick to respond to emails and got in and out (replacing two valves, a toilet valve and flapper and a building water shut off!) In under 40min.

Don't look anywhere else. This guy is the bomb. Customers for life here.

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 !

I needed a bath sink rodded. I called on a Saturday & left a message. They called me Monday morning and came out Tuesday and did the work. I'm happy with the work and will use them again. They are not cheap ($180 per hour per plumber), but they are upfront about their prices.

I have a condo that needed to get rent ready for the next tenant. It needed quite a bit of work. He managed it beautifully. Identified some things that I was not aware of that were of concern. Easy to communicate with and on point with the work.

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!

I had a few items that needed attention. Calling a plumber is never something one wants to do, but if you call this service, you can rest easy. They do quality work and very reasonable rates.  He came on time, he did the work in a timely manner, and he was receptive to any questions. We even had an extra issue that needed attention, and he did that too and charged a discounted rate because he was already in the house.

Excellent service! Dominick and Howard were great to work with and addressed all the issues with my kitchen sink. Replaced the valves and the kitchen faucet so there are no more leaks or concerns. Dominick was very thorough and straightforward about pricing, which I really appreciated. Thanks again!

Great guys, provided a fair assessment, were thorough.

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

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

Over the years, I've come to only use Anderson Plumbing for my plumbing needs. They're quick to respond, have great staff from the office to the service people and do good work.
We recently had a major leak at my mom's house and the only company to call was Andersen. I can't say enough positive things about Mario, who has done numerous jobs for us, both at our home and at our rental properties. Like always, he gets the job done, is friendly & respectful and is one of my favorites.
I highly recommend this company for any of your plumbing needs. They also do HVAC work.

Right away plumbing and hvac are the best,  I have used them few times for my clogged toilet and heating they are the best fast, clean and very professiona I highly recommend them.
Thank you

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.

I've lived in many houses & have  had to deal with many plumbers. This particular company however is quite unique &special.Not only are they fairly priced, flexible, & reliable;they are incredibly We'll managed. What I mean by this is that the owner of the company often deals with you personally. You don't have to go through layers of people to get some  thing done. Bill the owner, Actually Calls customers back himself He is very responsive and available.If you have a problem during the day you can text him and he'll get back to you. If it's after hours & you have anything from a plumbing crisis to an EXTRA You've requested you can usually find him working late at the office taking care of details .He has  diligent employees from the skilled workers to the support staff reflecting what the company  prioritizes from the top down..You'll  often be dealing with Bill rather than  him being called in if something goes awry He's truly caring and very hands-on which only servers  to make his customers feel
Highly valued as they are!
