Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

I had a laundry room drain that backed up just before Christmas.  Alexandra responded within 10 mins to my online request.  She gave me a two hour window when to expect them, and they did make the window! The company came out free of charge, looked at the problem, gave me a very reasonalbe quote and did the work. They  used a camera to check the line and showed me the real problem, tree roots in the main drain. They gave me a very reasonable rate to do the extra work. The notes are laptop computerized and so was the billing.  I have used a lot of plumbering companies in the past and this one will now be my go to. The workers, were knowlegeable, polite, efficient, and cleaned up nicely after they left. You cannot ask for more. I am telling my neighbors, they are that great. Thank you Jeff & Hernan for an excellent job.   I know you are not going to believe my story, but it is true! Try 'em, thank me later.  They are a new 3 yr franchise and have their act together.

Fantastic people and work. Had a drain installed into my basement floor. Responded quick, quick appraisal, quick appointment, worked quick, very friendly, great pricing. Felt like a person and not just a dollar sign.

I got three bids to replace my hot water heater. Paul was right in the middle. His new unit was also 4 inches shorter than my existing unit, and I wanted a shorter tank to have more angle on the exhaust.  He responded quickly to my inquiry, and had an opening the next day. My thermocouple went bad, and we had no hot water. (I could not buy an exact replacement, and you dont want to jury rig that part, IMHO.) Paul showed up on time as promised and had the new heater installed pretty fast. We had a flexible gas connector on the old one, and Paul had to replace that with solid gas pipe to meet code. Nice, professional work, and I learned a few tricks by watching him work! If anyone asks me for a plumber, I'm sending them to Paul...

I have used Forte for several issues at my house and they never disappoint.  Everything is installed as promised, on schedule, and for very reasonable rates.  They plumbed our kitchen, fix a drain issue, and fixed our boozie valve that I had given up hope on long ago.  We have had several plumbers, as well as Carmen and Robert, and no matter who we get they know their stuff.  I will be happy to recommend them to all of my family and friends and know that they are in great hands.

It was very easy to schedule an appointment and the girl who helped me schedule was very helpful. They fixed a leak at the base of my toilet, and everything is working great now!

One of the first people to respond to me when we realized our basement was beginning to flood... despite having a system that worked, we felt that replacing the 20 year old system full of little issues would be the smart thing to do.

Dominick was friendly, professional, informative, and communicative. We are happy with how everything looks, the quality of the products installed, and having peace of mind knowing that it was done right this time.

Our basement toilet and shower wouldn't stop overflowing with water, we called Peter at 8ish and he was there by 11 and got a huge clog out of our main sewer line. He was super friendly and explained everything to us and helped us get in contact with someone to restore our basement. We are going to have him help soon to fix a few more things around our house. I would highly recommend!

I called to schedule a service.  When I told him what was involved, he never called back.  I was not important enough to service.

Does good work but charges a bomb for it. Initial assessment may be a cheap $29 but final check will be in thousands. Will literally loot you if you do not have enough knowledge about fair pricing. The services are not worth it.

I called them again as I noticed the Polar Vortex decided to freeze my pipe.  Luckily I had the water drained from the pipes before leaving on vacation to avoid potential issues upon returning.  In a matter of minutes, there was someone over to check and confirm it was a frozen pipe from the outside and that they can have someone over later in the evening with proper tools to fix it; and that in the meantime suggesting I try something in case it fixes it before they can come.  

They arrived earlier than I was expecting because of issues caused by severe weather.  Fixed it in a matter of minutes.  As friendly and professional as always and this is why I keep calling them anytime something happens.  I have their number saved and have passed it along to friends and neighbors as well.

Words cannot express how I overjoyed I am to be referred to MD Plumbing & Sewer. From the initial phone call to job completion, Marc was personable, professional and dependable. He arrived 1 hour earlier than stated. His partner unclogged a toilet in a mere 15 minutes. In addition, he ASKED me if it was ok to replace a part. He didn't tell me; he asked me. I HIGHLY recommend MD Plumbing & Sewer. I only made one additional call to another plumber prior to calling Marc. Prices were more than reasonable and fair. Too bad all contractors couldn't be this honest, reliable and thorough!

I feel Ripped off. $125 for a 3 minute service call. Plumber Re-lit my pilot light on my water heater. Didn't service it (drain it) or do anything else. How can they justify the cost of their service.  I won't be recomme ding them to anyone. Avoid.

Paid him $175 to clean sewer drain but they were still running slow after he was done.

They were great! I had a gas leak and needed a plumber to fix right away to turn my gas back on. They even gave me an estimate and fixed my pipes in 1 morning. The work was great quality as well.

Very responsive, prompt, on time and did a neat job of piping up shower valve and diverter.

So I just had a plumber over to the house to look at the garbage disposal.  He looked at it for 5 mins and told me it was bad and I had to replace it.  He then tried to upcharge me by trying to sell me one for $150 or a better one for $300.  Since I told him they were overpriced and that I was going to buy one myself, he tried to charge me $136 for him coming to my house for 5 mins.  Couldn't believe it. He stated that was there hourly fee and they had to charge me for 1 hour.  Obviously I didn't pay it.  First they try to overcharge me significantly for the garbage disposal and then they want to charge me for an hour of work at $136 an hour!!  I would go elsewhere with your plumbing needs. Perhaps someone who is more trustworthy.

Extremely overpriced!  I have called four seasons out for multiple issues in the past 5 years or so, only because I didn't know any better.  Once I tried to price match when they told me I needed to completely replace my furnace, I found out what a rip off they are.  Compare for yourself, and you'll understand.

Found Ed the Plumber in our church's bulletin. A service call to our building was $125. We had three issues in our unit that needed to be addressed, each issue that we were quoted at $500 per each, or $1,500. This quote was going to cost me more than double the amount I donate to my church every year. I ended up paying the $125, and then had another plumber come in and complete the job for only $200 all together.

If you want to pay high prices, then go to Ed the Plumber. Otherwise I'd just move on.

Dishonest company.  I have eight furnaces for my building and they solicited me for a tune-up and turned off the tenant heat, demanding money to turn it back on BEWARE!!
