Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Friendly, fast and very knowledgeable.  We needed a handyman to come and re-attach our stove hood that fell off the wall the previous night.  Andrew was here the next morning and fixed it better than before.  Would definitely use him again.

My experience with Welter Home Services was top notch and professional from start to finish! Kevin quickly scheduled my appointment. I thought the price he quoted was fair and he did a great job. I absolutely love the end result, and would definitely call Kevin again!

Adam diagnosed the problem quickly and easily. He's confident and knows his stuff.  He found and fixed the most obvious issue economically and quickly (obvious to him, not to us!). Sometimes, with plumbing, the hardest part of the problem is figuring out the cause of the problem.  Fixing it is the easy part, comparably. It's too early to tell if what he found is the only issue--there may be a deeper (as in, under the concrete) problem too.  But more than likely, what he found is exactly what was causing our soil stack to leak.

A clogged toilet and over flowing ejector pit on New Year's Eve...InSink quickly returned our call and was to our home in less than 20 minutes. The problem was quickly diagnosed and explained in layman's terms. They presented multiple options to choose from to fix the problem and were wrapped up in about 2 hours. All things considered, we were charged a more than fair overtime and emergency call out rate, and the charge for parts and labor was in line with our expectations. InSink will be our go-to plumbing service from now on.

We had an emergency service call the day after Thanksgiving and Adam came out after three other prior service calls late at night.  He was very personable and helpful, answering all our questions and educating us at the same time.  Our immediate issue is resolved but if we need further guidance, we will reach out to him again.

Eric and Victor were here today and we can't even begin to say how happy we are . We actually had two other  plumbers out in the past 6 months and Eric is the one who did things correctly and solved all our problems and made complete sense . He told us things and found things for us that the other two companies didn't even think about.  These guys are definitely our new plumbers from now on and we are just thrilled .The price was awesome too.  Our neighbors recommended them to us and others in our neighborhood are using them and it's clear why . We purchased this new home in November and we had so many plumbing issues and concerns . Eric and Victor did camera work and actually got out to the main line, inspected and worked on our catch basin, found where kitchen piping leads , implemented ideas about  how to make sure certain piping was what they thought it was , inspected our ejector pit , gave us advice on bathroom issues we were having , FOUND our flood conTrol system that nobody else cared enough to find nor could find , went down into it , explained our old system to us and recommended what type of electrical we needed to make sure our pumps stay working and told us how to maintain our systems  , told us about the different systems our neighbors have and why they are the way they are , I could go on and on . But suffice to stop here and say I cant tell you how relieved we are to finally on our 3rd try find this company and these men.  They also are very kind and caring and love what they do. It was obvious . Epic crew and company ! Thank you Eric and Victor.

I came across DreamHouse plumbing through a common friend. And then we talked to Audrey from DHP team and he was always very prompt and quick in action when it comes to knowing the problem to fix whether it be Undersink ,pipe line  and outdoor valve issues. I highly recommend Audrey and his team at DHP for any of your plumbing services.

I literally can't say enough great things about Central Plumbing Co.  I was referred to Rob by a trusted friend to help with a couple issues in my newly purchased condo.  For the immediate issue, Rob and Chris came out to fix the issue with my kitchen sink/dishwasher overflowing and augured the kitchen line.  To be thorough, they went into the basement to auger the main drainage line (which i don't think my condo association has touched in a very long time).  Good thing they did because they cleared years of blockage and made sure everything was clean when they left.

For my second appointment, Chris came to replace the basement sump pumps.  I had previously been quoted by another company at a much higher rate.  Since Central Plumbing's employees do not work off commission like other companies, they quoted a good price with quality work.  My pumps are working great and they did a great job.

It's sometimes hard to know whether you are being taken advantage of when you know nothing about plumbing (especially as a female) and I never once felt like this at all with Central Plumbing.  I received nothing but great service and professionalism from both Chris and Rob.  They have a customer for life and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Missed appointments. Not willing to be flexible with customers on appt times. Received call days after appointment had been missed. Doesnt return calls or answer phone during business ours. Avoid this business.

Wonderful service, came and replaced my bathroom faucet and repaired the turn off valves. Good costumer service and priced

Becareful when you use them. Price quoted may be higher. Quoted $275 but then after the job it's $400. The reason is because on the day of repair it's more work. But no warning. Talked down to $375 finally. Didn't want to argue because they did a good job. Just be mindful.

So I waited 48 hours after leaving my first voicemail for them.  Still no reply call.  I called back after 48 hours and got another machine.  Still have a backed up drain, guess since it was not an emergency my call back was not a priority.  Don't think they won my business.  Can I give less than 1 star because they didn't even get a chance to perform any service?

Four weeks after a great install of two sump pumps, I was happy to call them after finding significant water in my basement. He said he'd make it that day and call. No call. Much later, I called back and he said he'd get back to me. No call. The next day, he said he'd be there in three days. It's now three days and no call.....with water in my basement. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Prices are outrageous, the staff I spoke with was inexperienced and lacking the knowledge, nobody available to help me. Just ridiculous

He was responsive but was going back and forth with the numbers. We didn't have a good experience with this business. We paid for the service to show up but didn't use him for further repair. I would highly suggest to go with other plumber.

We hired Thiesse to remedy a problem in our basement that was being caused by the city sewers backing up during heavy storms. They recommended installing an ejector pit, into which all the basement piping (floor drain, laundry tub, etc.) would be plumbed. This in turn would eliminate the open drains that the city sewer was backing up into.

After they did the work, we noticed backups in the main stack & immediately notified the company of the problem. They came out again & spent a couple hours rodding the sewer line immediately outside the area they'd worked on days earlier, then told us they couldn't find anything wrong but we should break open the main sewer outside the house, as it was likely blocked or collapsed. (Huh?) We declined this, since we had never had a problem with it prior to the work they did in the basement. We paid almost $500 for this rodding & diagnosis, by the way - this was in addition to the money we paid to have the ejector pit installed.

About a week later, I went into the basement & noticed another backup around the floor drain & water again leaking out of the joints in the main stack a few feet above the floor. This led me to believe the blockage was inside the house. My wife called Thiesse & asked they come out yet again to fix the problem.

When they arrived, they brought their sewer foreman with them - someone who had never seen the house or the work previously done. He proceeded to try to rod the line inside the house, but kept hitting an obstruction beneath the floor. He broke the floor open (this after we had already had it patched after their previous efforts) & determined the plumbers who'd installed the ejector pit had inadvertently filled the main line leading outside with hydraulic cement. His words were looks like we caused the problem.

They returned the next day & removed the clogged pipe, breaking out even more of the concrete floor in the process. Sewage finally flowed again, but Thiesse had the audacity to send us another bill for fixing the problem they had created! We told them in no uncertain terms we would not be paying the bill & they became very hostile, claiming WE had somehow caused the problem.

Our experience was among the worst I've ever had with a company & I would never, under any circumstances, recommend them. Buyer beware.

My family has a couple of old brick buildings , we been doing business with South Chicago  Plumbing , since 1976. Great knowledge, very friendly, and most of all a great inventory of parts and supply for older buildings . They have the parts and supply that you cannot find any where around Chicago.  They recommend other shops if they don't have the parts. Now that's true business !!!
