Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Zoom Drain answered their phone instead of voicemail on a Saturday. They were kind and responsive. Had two guys out within a couple of hours. Knowledgeable, respectful, and kind. They only did a house call and diagnostic because the landlord wanted to call the plumber that had come before. But I wouldn't hesitate to call them again if I had a plumbing problem.

Performance Pro Plumbers were great!! My sump pump went out, they came out the next morning and put in a new one, and adjusted the float and positioning of my backup pump to make it operate more efficiently.

Of all the plumbers we contacted, he was the only one who replied. He is honest, professional and talented. I wished we had more plumbers like him. We highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Paul!

Keith came out from Forte Plumbing to replace our old sump pump and replaced the broken valve as well. He did a good job and would highly recommend this company if you have any problems with your sump pumps.

I had frozen pipes and was able to get a same day appointment.  Pete and his apprentice came out and were able to help me do some troubleshooting to thaw out the pipes without any kind of expensive solution.  He also gave me his cell phone # to call him directly if I had any additional problems or concerns.  Definitely recommend and will use them again if I have any plumbing needs.

Dominik was amazing.  He was extremely responsive and got us our back up system within a day.  He also takes the time to answer questions and help you from a preventative stand point so you are prepared in case of emergency.  He will be our go to for all sump pump and ejector pump related questions and services.

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.

I have used Advantage a few times for miscellaneous plumbing issues in my 100 year old house. I had some small issues (slow draining drains, low water pressure, etc.) and eventually a whole house re-pipe. I love having someone I know I can have over with one phone call and not have to think about it any further.  

I have had a few different technicians and they are always knowledgeable, courteous, and clean. I know I can trust Advantage and was able to leave the house during the re-pipe with no concerns.  I would highly recommend Advantage Plumbing to anyone looking for a plumber, whether it be a big or small job.

I used DPS again based on a positive review on another site, as I had a leak under my kitchen sink.  Prepared for the worst, installing a new faucet, not only did Austin fix my leak (with no replacement needed), but he noticed that the disposal was not locked into place, and he fixed that too!  woo!  Thank you!

I'm stingy with 5 star reviews (not everybody can be the best or it wouldn't mean anything), but MD Plumbing deserves every one of the five. Based on my experience with them, they are honest, efficient, and responsive, charging very reasonable rates.

Marc came when he said, and did not waste time, He realized he needed a specialty part, which turned out to be very expensive, so I decided to just buy a new faucet. Marc came on time and efficiently installed the faucet. He also made a repair to my bathroom pipes, but explained that I would eventually need to get the whole thing replaced.

I want to mention Kim, too; she's so nice. My life is a little complicated right now, so I needed some extra attention. Kim was very helpful and so patient with me and my many calls. She even returned calls when she said she would, which is rare these days.

Showed up on time and corrected a minor problem (of my own making) with an unfilled P-trap and did not charge anything for the visit. Will use them for sure again.

I called several plumbers on a Saturday due to a clogged sewer line. Few even called me back. Greg called right away and was over within a half hour. Greg couldn't have been nicer. Great job. Reasonable price.

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.

My kitchen faucet started leaking and we have a plumber friend who had his hands full and couldn't come out that day.   So, I went on Yelp and noticed ROM's ratings were very high. Also noticed that they had put in several faucets in the past. Spoke with Mike who is a really nice guy and very professional. I knew I needed the faucet replaced, so I ran out to purchase a new one and he actually sent someone out THE SAME DAY with no extra charge! Very accommodating.

His worker John, came out and installed the faucet in under an hour. Also a nice young man who was very thorough. Job well done!

I would definitely call them again.

Always good service and fair prices.  But then again, we have been customers for only about 30 years.  ; )

I called Customer service and told them what was wrong(inducer motor was out) with my Bryant heater. I gave them the make and model number and asked them if they could fix it the same day.  She said the tech would have parts on his trucks and would be able to fix it.  The repair tech showed up and charged me 85 dollars to confirm what I had already told them was wrong with the heater.  ... and said he would have to Order the parts and it would be Monday before he could fix it.   He gave a quote of $1585 to replace the inducer motor.. (I looked up the part and the price of for the inducer motor is $55)  and he asked me if I considered replacing the heater.   What a rip off.. I'm going elsewhere.. Never use these guys..!

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.

Where to even begin.....

We hired Tim Shey, the owner, to do some plumbing work. Initially he came off as being a normal tradesmen... His bedside manor was a little abrasive but not so bad that I didn't think to not use him.

Well, I wish I would have cut ties the moment I picked up on that abrasiveness b/c my experience with him turned out to be an absolute nightmare. My experience with him was absolutely abusive and for no reason. For a long time i asked myself what I did to deserve him being so rude and disrespectful and then I finally realized that I did nothing at all to deserve the treatment bestowed upon us.

On top of the abuse, here I am, months later and i've had issue after issue with the plumbing. Very basic things were missed. Most recently, we had to hire a plumber to come out to fix one of the toilets he installed. Lord knows how long it's been leaking but I happed to notice one day that water was leaking out the back every time the toilet was flushed. It turns out that he didn't install it correctly as the top wasn't tighten to the base. The damage this has caused ....... I wonder if he did it purposely? I really do.... We also have had issues with every faucet he installed. Every single one had to be reinstalled. Additionally, one of the shower heads was leaking . That was another plumber visit. I keep going on and on with the issues but I'm sure you get the point.

This was not my personal experience but I spoke to another person who hired him who needed an additional week to pay him for his services and instead of waiting, he went to her home, pushed himself through her door and ripped out all of her plumbing so that she couldn't access any water! Who does that!

Please note that this was my personal experience with Tim. I'll never understand why I didn't just ask him to leave my condo the minute he was disrespectful.
