I had just closed on my house on 03/26/20 Wednesday, and then discovered a little puddle of water in my basement by the floor drain and furnace today, 03/28/20 Sat. I have not even moved in my house yet so I was freaking out. The home warranty company I purchased, American Shield Home Warranty, were horrible! When I called them to send a plumber, they said they would send one asap and have them call me. Well, I kept calling them, and gave up after waiting for three hours since no one would follow up on my service request.

So, I decided to do a google search for plumbers and found Mr. Burris' company. I decided to call them. Mr. Burris called me in less than an hour and asked what the problem was. When I told him the problem, he said that he was coming right away.

Not only did Mr. Burris diagnose the problem right away, he fixed it. The water turned out not to be anything major. Mr. Burris was honest and he did not try to advantage of me since I was a new homeowner. He went above and beyond his duty. He educated me on my heating, cooling, and plumbing system and that is priceless.

Thank God for Mr. Burris. I highly recommend him

Jake was extremely helpful.  I called with questions about shocking the well as well as the pitless adapter.  He was eager to help and even walked me through the process.  Was willing to sell me the parts I needed for repair, at a competitive price.

Great work, great price. Fixed a running toilet and a drain that had come loose from the bottom of a sink.

Great work, great price, very fair and honest
$150 up front then $90/hr there after.
He does not waste time, he had to take the toilet off a few times to get the seal perfect, all of his work has held up well for over a month.

Will def hire again in the future.

The bots and text messages are a coverup for a lack of communication and customer service.

We made an appointment with Fixer during a weekday, for which my wife stayed home from work. 15 minutes after the time they were scheduled to arrive, we received a text saying that they wouldn't be able to keep the appointment, asking us to reschedule and offering a $50 discount. My wife makes well over $50 a day!! This bad news was sent via text and after I responded and prompted a reply, we heard no more from them.

The $50 discount would've been easily absorbed by the Fixer's exorbitant fees. I'm leery of a home repair company that can't even honor their own appointment schedule. I understand that things happen, but at least take full responsibility and go above and beyond to remedy your mistake.

Excellent response during a flood from back flow with the city , gave excellent advice , good pricing, do not take advantage of the emergency

Professional, honest, and timely. Fantastic team to help problem solve my exterior drainage issues. Highly recommend this team.

During the Spring of 2017 my basement flooded at least w inches of water during heavy rains in chucago.  I had the lines Roddenberry 3 different  times thinking each time this will work.  Nope.  I purchased submersible sump pumps to send the water wherever it's supposed to go.  Finally, Spring 2019 was the food that broke the camels back.  I called United Sewer & Drain.  These guys came out with cameras and showed me the water pipe from the city to my property was broken on my side of the sidewalk.  United took out the old pipes, installed new pipes and Voila, no more flooding until the next heavy rain.  I called them back, they returned and discovered the pipe goongbto the drain at the back of the house between the basement back door and steps was broken.  How does that happen?  They dug up the concrete, installed bew pipe, concrete the area, made the drain a little larger than the ol one and I am now a happy camper.  Call these guys if you are having flooding problems.  Oh, by the way - before calling United I called the City, no help at all.

You have absolutely no idea how important a water heater is to your home, lifestyle, and well-being until it decides that it has had enough! After more than 10 years of service, our 6-year Bradford White water heater started to leak profusely from the top. Having had mixed experiences with multiple local plumbing and HVAC companies, I decided to finally give Excel Plumbing a shot at installing a new Bradford White water heater--and that seems to have been a great decision! Reasonable pricing, consistent communication, professionalism, quality equipment, and products, and no upselling. They also helped with City of Evanston permitting. Ed C. Thom, Dmitry, and everyone involved were fantastic. As a real estate broker, I highly recommend Excel to my clients and colleagues!

Awesome! I called on a Sunday morning for a running toilet. Turns out my flapper was bad, along with a few other things. George and Frank came out quickly (called at 8:30am, arrived at 1pm), and they took less than 30 minutes to complete. The whole operation is flawless. Highly recommended!!!

I've used Thompson Plumbing on 2 occasions, for plumbing and the then for a gas leak. They were able to come same day, fixed the issue and for a price that was very reasonable. I highly recommend them.

Keeley's had to do some corrections on a modified overhead sewer that was installed incorrectly by the former owners. We were getting sewer back-up in our laundry basin every time we had a hard rain. Tim took the time to work with the Lombard Village overhead sewer grant program and made sure we were up to code so we wouldn't have any problems in the future. His team did everything with a smile and cleaned up after themselves (beautifully) when they left. My basement looked cleaner than when they arrived. In addition to doing great work, Tim texted me the first night we had a hard rain to check in and I was happy to report that we didn't have a single drop of water in our laundry basin. We've had several hard rains since then and still--no water. Thanks, Keeley's Plumbing! You will be our go-to plumber as long as we're in the area!

We called Body plumbing to repair one of our leaking backflow valves. He gave us good price on the repair and he even came twice to work on it after the first attempt did not come out right at no extra charge. His pricing however on testing was good but we found better so we will use another company for yearly testing. We will definitively call him again to get pricing in the future though.

Needed to find a new Backflow inspection company for our home - as our previous vendor chose to shoot up prices beyond our budget.
I was very pleased to have discovered Chicago Backflow.
People I dealt with like Nick, Tiffany, Jessica - and our technician Alan are all superb.  I get the sense this company must be managed very well, because everyone has a very nice attitude and exudes warmth.
Alan showed up right on time at 7am (even with snow falling) and was efficient and had a very kind demeanor.
Price was appropriate.
I'll look forward to working with Chicago Backflow again on my annual inspection next year.  Thanks again, Mark S.

Finding a plumber in the city of Chicago who is honest and efficient, with high quality customer service, is like finding a needle in a haystack.  Well, that is what I thought before I met and worked with John, The Plumber Doctor.  Using the positive reviews about him on Yelp I decided to call him to help fix a leaky kitchen faucet.  He was at my house on the same day I called, diagnosised the problem with my leaky kitchen faucet in less than a minute, and had it fixed in no time once he obtained all the parts he needed to do the job.  In addition, he helped me save me a few bucks along the way.  It was a real pleasure working with him.  I don't believe I will ever call another plumber to fix my plumbing problems other than John, The Plumbing Doctor.  I highly recommed John's services for all of your plumbing needs.

By the way,  thank you to everyone on Yelp who provided the positive reviews about John, The Plumbing Doctor.  You're the main reason I had such a pleasant plumbing experience.

We faced an unexpected  and expensive main sewer line  problem in a home we just moved to. Had many estimates and repair approaches explained to us. Eric assessed the problem with precision and with honesty - and gave one of the best estimates. The work was done with great care and expertise. He is highly regarded with the Skokie Water Dpt. and for clearly good reasons. We are lucky to have found them!

If you are looking for fast honest expert service...these are the guys you want to call.

Had a sewer back up into the laundry room. Called All Suburban...they had a man out first thing in the morning who discovered that my main sewer line just leaving the house had collapsed causing the back up...a routine rodding became an underground dig.

They quoted me a price that was very fair and set up the permits and completed the job the next day.

We were amazed at how little disturbance there was to our front landscaping...it was almost as if they were never there.

The whole crew was polite and professional...they did what they said they were going to do...and cleaned up before they left.

I will definitely call these guys again if I ever need plumbing work.

The water in my building gets turned off quite often. When it gets turned back on, there is extremely low pressure in my faucets.  Jay has fixed the pressure on these faucets and wash machine as well. He got them working better than I thought they could be! He's on time, very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I highly recommend him!

Steve and Joe from J Blanton Plumbing were fantastic.  I was given a typical two-hour window for their arrival and they were on time, courteous, quickly identified the problem with our sink, gave a reasonable estimate, and not only fixed it, but showed me some helpful tricks on how to prevent the previous owners' clogs and mistakes. Highly recommended
