Best Plumbing Services in Chicago, IL

Talked with Pat on a busy day. He was upfront and honest, he couldn't get a guy out right away.  Not what I wanted to hear, but the truth. All in all, this place does what they say - even when it's not the news you want to hear.

My hot water tank was on the fritz! I called several plumbers with decent ratings here on Yelp, none of which answered. It was either a VM message or someone telling me that they would call back. Then I called Fastplumbing. What a relief. Mack answered and was at my home within 2 hours! He diagnosed the problem and explained every step as I watched him clean and troubleshoot my hot water tank. Long story short, I needed a new tank. The following morning he arrived with a helper, took out my old one and installed a new one within a little over an hour! Done! Eventually I'll need to replace another hot water tank in my building and I will certainly give Mack a call! I would highly recommend Fastplumbing for this type of work! Hands Down!

I recommend Rescue Plumbing! They were able to come that morning I called, and Javier was great at assessing the issue, explaining what needed to be done - all in a timely manner. Javier was a great help in an emergency situation.

Only con is that Rescue Plumbing was a bit pricey, but I also did collect many quotes due to the urgency of the issue.

They were respectful and did a great job fory Granny. I'll call you guys anytime.

Scotty is a true professional. Setting up an appointment was easy. Scotty called and confirmed two days prior to our scheduled appointment. He arrived promptly on the day of our appointment and got right to work. Scotty got the job done  in a timely manner and work he did wasn't easy. I will definitely be calling him again for any more plumbing issues I might have.

Called our HOA-recommended plumber on a Saturday... many days later, no response. Called 3 other plumbers and left voice mails the next Monday... no answer and no call back. At this point we were desperate, and found Rocket Plumbing on Yelp and talked to a REAL person Monday afternoon, who set an appointment for Tuesday afternoon. Anthony and Sergio were on time (actually 10 min early but waited patiently for me), very knowledgeable, friendly, and troubleshooted the issue immediately. They replaced the ejector pump extremely fast and explained every step of the process in detail (honestly, more than I even needed!)  These guys are really passionate about plumbing, haha! :)   I appreciated that they were very up-front about the costs and estimates before anything took place, and gave me different options and explained each.  They then showed me how it works and where to find issues in the future.   I thought the price was reasonable, and the parts have a full warranty.  Sergio and Anthony and Rocket Plumbing will definitely be our new go-to plumbers.

Thomas and crew came out on short notice and gave me a very reasonable quote. I had already received two other quotes and went with Thomas. They took care of a sewage backup that day and were kind enough to come back out a few days later to flush one more time. I would definitely use Chicago Sewer and Drain Professionals again and will be recommending them to friends and family.

We can't say enough about how much we love Windy City Plumbing! We moved to Oak Park a year and half ago with grand dreams for our grand 1903 home. Within the first month, the home ownership dreams turned into soul crushing, bank hemorrhaging, repair bills - ohhhhh Oak Park homes. Plumbing updates (you know the stuff no one sees, or cares about, that aren't nearly as gratifying as buying furniture) is where all of our money needed to go.

As all new OP home owners seem to do, I reached out to the block email list, the OP Facebook groups and Yelp to seek counsel. I got three quotes for our first issue (2nd floor bath leaking down to first floor upon draining) - one came back with $1k quote, one said he'd need to rip up the wall to investigate and likely order a long lead-time part which would probably be ~$2k, then Windy City arrived and the clouds parted. They said we didn't need anything other than a quick tighten of a hard-to -reach-bolt, which he did in approximately 30 seconds. I knew at that moment Windy City and I were about to embark on a long relationship together.

Since that day we have have numerous visits from Jose and his team. Projects ranging from a small sink pressure issue to a giant sewer flood control project. Projects big or small, Windy City has been helpful, informative, reasonably priced AND responsive.

When we got the estimate for a floor control system (i.e. fixing broken pipes then adding a pump so when the Oak Park sewers back up from heavy rain, literal sewer crap doesn't come back INTO our house), I got sticker shock and my faith in my Windy City relationship wavered. I sought another two estimates and found Windy City, yet again, to be the most reasonable and honest plumber around.

Each time I see Jose and his team I still bitch and moan that I am seeing them because I know it's going to set-back my furniture purchases again, but I'm so very glad I have them in my court as we start rebuilding my grand old home dreams together.

Communication by e-mail seemed to work best - it was quick and clear and left us knowing what to expect. Charges were exactly as quoted, the work was done correctly, and the plumber was able to speak with our home warranty company so the repair could be partially reimbursed. Appointments must be cancelled or re-scheduled at least 24 hours in advance to avoid a cancellation fee.

Immediate, responsive and highly responsible! Thank you to Kevin and his team to come out today with a leaked pipe from the two flat. Kevin was the only person in this 10 Yelp list of plumbers in the area to pick up the phone and come out within 30minutes of helping to fix the leaking problem! The job was well done, neat, careful, this is an old building and he knew how to manage the job! He gave me an estimate of low to high and it came under! Quick in texting and was able to pay through quick pay with bank! 21st century plumbers! Highly recommend and already now our plumber!

Very Inconsistent estimates and when asked questions, the answers did not sound genuine. Not interested.

There's a reason these guys have so many 5-star ratings:
1. Courteous and friendly every step of the way--on the phone, in person, when responding to my quote request via Yelp
2. On-time. I was given an exact time when they'd show (no three-hour windows), and they were prompt
3. Great work. They finished the job (my shower was leaking into my downstairs neighbor's ceiling) in only 40 minutes and took care to cut minimal holes.  They opted to go in through the ceiling, which required only white paint, versus my bedroom wall, which would've required a roomful of new blue paint.

I've absolutely no complaints!

I've not had much luck with plumbers, until now. The sewer line was clogged   and soggy toilet paper started to back up into the basement. I searched on line for a plumber, and saw the great reviews for Midwest Hydro Jetting on Yelp. I called, spoke with Mike, and explained the problem. I  was hoping for a quick fix since I had family staying with me.  Of course he was familiar with this type of back up, and said it might be a day or so until someone could come out, but if the day's jobs were finished early, he would send someone. He also gave me a price range for the work that would probably be needed to be done, which was very reasonable.  Luckily the day's jobs ended early, and Dan arrived in the late afternoon. He knew exactly what to do, and power rodded the line until it ran clear. The cost was very reasonable and I was given a 30 day warranty.  Unfortunately, the line backed up again after a few weeks. Dan came back out, with Jose, and power rodded again, with a different head on the line. What came out of that line on the end of the rod head  was disgusting. He called it a 'mush ball', or something like that. It was a mass of toilet paper, wipes, and a small piece of plastic or cellophane, and had been about 75ft down the line. I previously instructed everyone to not dispose of wipes, flushable or otherwise, in the toilets. Of course it was group denial as to anyone doing so.  Anyway, the warranty was honored,    the line has stayed clear, and I have removed every package of wipes from the house that I could find. Besides being knowledgeable, professional, and very efficient, Dan is very personable too. Most people don't call a plumber until it's a dire necessity. They have the advantage, and some use that advantage to make more of the situation, and up the cost of repair.  This time it was a pleasure to finally find a company that did not do that. This old house will probably need a plumber again at sometime, and I would not hesitate to call them again if anything else 'comes up'.   I would highly recommend Midwest Hydro Jetting to anyone in need of great plumber services.

Previously I wanted to install a ejector pump with a check valve. They quoted $5000. This was after them visiting my property and assessing the situation. On the day of the job they said that they wont be to install the pumps and charged me $4700 just for the check valve. Of course only having the check valve didn't solve the issue. And I again flew all the was from San Francisco to meet these guys to come up with a better solution. They said that installing a lift station will solve the problem. And it has been 3 weeks and i am yet to receive a quote or a start date for the work. Wasted $4700 and flight tickets. Very unprofessional behavior. Now they are not responsive at all. Never trust these guys!

I hired Sims & Sons for some electrical repairs in October, including replacement of interior and exterior light fixtures and replacement of interior and exterior outlets.  The technicians, Anel and Daryl arrived on time, provided a quote, and were able to complete the repairs the same day.  I would recommend Sims and would hire them again.

Hristo was great! He responded so quickly. He gave a competitive price. He even had to go to his store and come back for a specific part to fix our weird sink problem. He also wore a mask and booties the whole time. Will definitely use ABV plumbing in the future!

I am revising my prior review after a prompt and very polite and well reasoned explanation ftom the owner of cj plumbing.

The gist is:

1.  They are extremely competent and pleasant to deal with.
2.  Discuss ahead of time the charges for every service

Great, fast service from Mike the Plumber. He came on short notice to remove then reinstall my kitchen sink plumbing after I had some new counter tops installed. He even fixed my bathroom toilet (slow to fill up) and unclogged my bathroom sink.  The price was very reasonable and he performed everything very quickly. If I ever have any plumbing issues I will be sure to call Mike.

These guys are what customer service should be. In Chicago right now it's colder than a polar bear's a**. My water heater decided to not stay lit so I can have hot water during the coldest days. I have American Home Shield, but they haven't scheduled my service within 24hours so that will be a different review. However, I sent a message on Yelp and this was the second company to respond. I didn't like the first company's set up. I hate paying for people to just come out so I went with this company. There wasn't a negative review to be found, and I can see why. They are quick, efficient, and reasonably priced. It's hard to find good help. I will use them again; hopefully no time soon, and recommend them as well. When I like you, I'll support your business. Thanks guys!!!

Noel is by far the best plumber of all time. This is not even a question.
