Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Jeff is a reliable and skilled plumber that can handle any household job. Excellent and quick service to replace our kitchen disposal. Highly recommended for everyone in Elmhurst, Villa Park, & Oak Brook areas.

I had called Szabo Plumbing to repair a leaky toilet wax ring on a tenants apartment and was quoted $275, which I considered fair, considering a licensed plumber and fully stocked truck would have to drive there and do the repair. What I didn't consider fair was when the shut off valve didn't work, they charged me an additional $200 to put a new one on. Now I understand if I called them out for just that repair, $200 may be reasonable, but they were already on site for the other repair.
Not to mention they never contacted for any additional approval prior to replacing it, just a text message from the plumber onsite stating the new total would be $475.
I contacted Wade, to discuss the upcharge and was told I actually recieved a discount as they normally charge $250.00 per valve, but he would talk to Kevin himself and see if anything could be done.
As I was away on vacation, I told him I would contact him in A week when we returned.....well, called him twice since returning, NO CALL BACKS.
I decided to check my Credit card, and now see, they not only charged me the $475, plus an additional $14.75, not sure for what reason, as I never received an itemized invoice e-mailed as promised.
I've always considered them fair in past work they had done for me, but as of now, have lost confidence in Szabo Plumbing and will no longer use them, nor recemmend them to friends and family

UPDATE: Upon  Kevin being made aware of this situation , he personnally reached out to me, apologized for the error, and made things right. I will continue to recemmend them and use them as a first choice for my future plumbing needs.
It just shows he is truely compassionate about customer satisfaction, THANK YOU AGAIN KEVIN FOR TAKING TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSY DAY TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS.

Upon waking one morning to a major plumbing issue, we quickly researched our options and reached out to Flush.  Darron responded almost immediately and in spite of widespread problems and high call volumes, he found time to help us that day.  His team provided a quick fix and they were back the next day to provide a more permanent solution.  They closed the loop with us a few weeks later to patch up a couple of other small issues which should prevent any future problems.  They were quick, polite, reasonable, and knowledgable.  We will definitely use Flush for any future plumbing or sewer needs!

As homeowners, one of our worst fears is returning home to find that we have sprung a leak- your sump pump quit, or your water heater has become a decorative piece in your basement and your water is no longer hot and is leaking, or your bathtub won't empty for the last 5 days. Then comes an even bigger fear-having to contact the please God don't let him screw me too bad plumber from the telephone book. Friends, those days are over! Juan Zarate, the owner and expert plumber of GO ROOTER has provided me with customer service above and beyond any that I have ever experienced, and I am 67 years old. My hot water heater went out on a Sunday morning. I called GO ROOTER and by 5:00 P.M. the new pump was in place, expertly installed, with no fuss or muss at a VERY reasonable price. Under normal circumstances, I most probably would have had to wait until Monday at 5:00 P.M. for service and then be charged an exorbitant rate for the emergency call. Juan is conscientious, honest, attentive to what YOU want done, very hard working, and is most aware of the commodity we value most, time and money. His work is impeccable and if Juan tells you he can complete the work in one day- it WILL be done-at a reasonable price. So, God forbid, you spring a leak, know that by contacting GO ROOTER and their professional staff of certified plumbers you will receive top notch counsel, superior plumbing skills, and a man you can call friend-Juan Zarate.

5 Star for sure.

This company is so knowledgeable that whatever plumbing issue you have, they will have the solution.  I've had an issue at my home for so many years that never got resolved by other plumbers.  The previous plumbers would always talk in circles.  Roc's Plumbing was the only company able to resolve this ongoing issue that lasted for years.   I was sorry that I hadn't called them way earlier then I did.  I guess it was the bright red vans that caught my eye.  I have to say that not only are they knowledgeable, but also very efficient.  Since I needed to pass a village inspection I contacted them to come out again.  They knew exactly what needed to be done and took care of it quickly.  I'm not really one to write a review, so the fact that I'm writing this one speaks volumes' for this company.    Thank you Roc's Plumbing!!!!

Kevin really came to the rescue when I was out of hot water for days. He showed up in an HOUR when others said they were too busy to come out. He came, accessed the problem, restarted the hot water heater for me, waited to make sure it was still running over time, and the issue was fixed.

I can't thank him enough for his time and excellent service. I recommend Kevin and will definitely be calling him in the future!!

Getting a plumber on the Southside of Chicago is practically impossible. After calling many places they were the first to accept. I called on Wednesday morning and made an appointment to check my tub that was leaking and they said they could come the next day and we set a time. The next day they call me 15 minutes before he's supposed to be at my condo to say they're cancelling. I ask why and he says because they're booked up. I ask how they could be booked when I made an appointment? and he responds with we checked our logs and we have a bunch of people ahead of you. I honestly don't even know what that means. How did you not check you logs when I made the appointment? As I said I made the appointment in the morning, so at no point during the ENTIRE day did you check you logs to see if the appointment was available, after you guaranteed me a time? Sounds like a load of bs to me.  He also said if I couldn't find another plumber to call them back. I guarantee you, even if I don't find another plumber, I will not be calling back. So take that how you want, they seem to be very unorganized and unprofessional to say the least.

Don was very timely and responded to a few of my plumbing concerns  in a moment's notice in a very professional way!

Amazing service! Called up after my hot water tank broke down. Joe the owner was out the very next morning to replace it and did a quality job. Great guy and great company! Deffintly recommend!!

My toilet started leaking and I had my daughter turn it off. I went through Yelp to get a quick response from multiple plumbers. The owner was really nice and came over within 1-2 hours. He did a good job, I recommend him highly.

Used them twice to take care the clogged main sewer lines in two different buildings. Kevin (tech) was very professional, explained in details every step of their work (how and why), clean, very reasonable price.  Highly recommend.

Ralph recently handles two jobs for me at a rental unit in the city.  He did a great job, showed up on time and communicated the issues to me.  Couldn't ask for anything more and will definitely use Ralph again in the future.

He replaced our leaking water heater with what seems like a nice unit a couple months ago. His price was very competitive. Still getting hot water, no complaints!

I had a bad sewer backup and got the number for Glennon Sewer from a trusted friend. I was so blown away! They scheduled an appointment quickly, assessed my issues and worked quickly and efficiently. Shaun and Luke explained what was needed, what would be done and gave me a thorough overview of their work. Price was fair, everything works and I'm so grateful that I called them.

We had a positive experience. Our kitchen sink clogged, and even after removing traps and snaking the pipes, the clog persisted. We searched Yelp! and called Good Plumbing. They were very pleasant and scheduled a plumber early the next morning. Anthony arrived early and quickly routed out the pipes and cleared the clog. He shared some tips on usage and cleaning of our disposal and grease trap. The fee was $247, which seemed a bit high, but the whole experience was very pleasant and our sink was ready for our dinner party that evening.

Fast, affordable and knowledgeable service. Joe came out on a Saturday and took care of our problem in a very timely manner and at an affordable price. We had had a couple other estimates for what needed to be done and Joe explained that it was a much simpler and cost efficient fix than we were told. This is a company that will not try to sell you unnecessary services, but instead diagnose the problem in an honest and affordable way to the homeowner. Thanks so much Joe!

Pete is a very knowledgeable plumber.  He is straightforward with the scope of the work and pricing and a very fair person to work with.  I appreciate his craftsmanship and use him whenever I have the need for a plumber.

*This is a review of their communication, since in the end I did not actually wind up having a service visit.*

Debbie was extremely helpful.  She responded to my Yelp message very quickly and even let me text her some pictures of the issue I was concerned about so they could better gauge my situation and advise me on what they could do.  I appreciated this company's accessibility, fairness, and honesty.
