Best Plumbing Services in Chicago, IL

Pat, the owner of Drain-EEZ, was a fantastic help with my garbage disposal problem. First, he tried to help me fix it on my own to save some money. When it  became clear a replacement was needed, he and an associate came out on a Sunday to accommodate my busy schedule.

Service was very professional and quick, they even took care to be as quiet as possible as my daughter was napping at the time. Highly recommend Drain-EEZ!

We had a great experience having our water heater replaced. Very responsive and easy to work with.

Jay showed up within an hour of contacting Rescue Plumbing and we could not be happier. We had water coming from the walls and ceilings as a result of an overflowing pipe. He diagnosed the root issue and got it cleaned up in no time and was so courteous, professional, masked, and best yet, kind and resourceful! Could not be happier!!

Our toilet flooded in the middle of the night on a Sunday. I didn't want to risk serious water damage, so I did a quick search & found fast response from Discount Plumbing. I requested a quote on yelp and they responded within minutes & they said a technician can come out & gives me a FREE quote with no obligation. They arrived in minutes and my toilet soon was able to flushing like it was brand new! I appreciate them walking in with booties and walking me through the whole process & answering my questions. Definitely took the customer service to another level with that. Plus, the 10% coupon helped..

Thank you
Discount Plumbing

It's not easy finding a good plumber but super glad we had a good experience with Scotty. The gentlemen is knowledgeable, inquisitive, listens, and gets to work. He is able to anticipate the problem, explain it directly, and offer suggestions and tips for maintenance.

It was a very good all-around experience and I wouldn't hesitate to call on him in the future. Thanks Scotty.

Rocket Plumbing is consistent with their great service!  My daughter had a leak in her condo.  The plumber came on time and fixed it! Then I had an emergency at my house.  A sewer needed to be rodded.  Dennis worked for 6 hours with the clogged sewer.  When that didn't work they used a hydro-jet system. Problem solved!  I highly recommend this exceptional company. Knowledgeable plumbers, timely service, and a company that won't rip you off.

Had to get kitchen sink rodded and main line jetted, they were responsive, prompt and made sure the job was done, would definitely recommend!

I had two different issues I was working on for my house.  The first issue was HVAC and the second was repairing pipes due to a recent valve replacement that resulted in diminished capacity.  In calling around for quotes I saw Windy City Plumbing and decided to call.

In talking to Jose, he mentioned an HVAC guy that was top notch. (Cernes Environmental) In calling them, they saved me thousands of dollars... defintely worth calling.

After getting Jose out to look at this job and describing my situation, he offerred a quote.  His approach is to give a Not to Exceed quote for work to be done.  It can come off as daunting, but he really does mean it.  If his quote is low, he absorbs the cost.  If the quote is high, he will reduce the actual billed.   This certainly is a start of what differentiates him from the rest.

He gave me a rough estimate and I'm looking forward to the paper estimate in the near future.

In the meantime, he came by to check another valve that another plumber had adjusted.  He found that the valve was not fully opened and that I no longer needed to do the multi-thousands of work.  This increases his trust value with me.

I'm looking forward to seeing the quote and seeing how we can work through getting the work done.

Nice guy, and very willing to help.

This review is based on numerous plumbing services costing well over a thousand dollars provided on a single day. Two events occurred that never should have happened. The details:

About a week before the work date, the lead plumber (?owner) Eugene, advised me that  the main water supply in the house will have to be turned off for some of the various jobs, and he warned that when the water is turned on again it is likely to be discolored and have some sediment. A fair and thoughtful warning.  Early in the work day I reminded him of his warning and I suggested that installation of two new replacement kitchen faucets be done last, after the water main had been turned on again and after the system was flushed.  Eugene assured me that there would be no problem.  A few hours later, Eugene told me that he had installed the first kitchen faucet but it was useless because it was clogged by sediment. Yes, just incredible.  

Eugene also installed a new single handle shower faucet.  About a day later, I contacted him and complained that there is just a little warm water coming from the shower while before his repair there was an excellent flow of hot water.  He answered that it sounds like the faucet got clogged due to rust and sediments from the old plumbing.  He recommended to flush the water heater or replace it if it's over 10-12 y.o. but that he'd have to charge me his minimum fee of $150 as he's not responsible for any existing plumbing conditions. I explained that this is not an issue of diminished flow, but rather, the shower handle only turns 90 degrees, from 3 o'clock back to 12 o'clock, and it is supposed to turn 120 degrees. He answered that the shower handle is supposed to be turning from 12-3 according to the shower faucet model you got... I then sent him the installation pdf documenting that the handle was supposed to turn 120 degrees, that the amount of rotation of the handle is governed by a rotational limit stop that is adjustable, and a link to a YouTube video showing how this is done.  (The rotational limit stop (also known as rotational stop limit) is a safety feature in all modern shower faucets to prevent scalding.  It is required according to Chicago plumbing code - § 18-29-417.4.4.)  Eugene's response to this?  The problem is most likely coming from the existing plumbing.

I adjusted the rotational limit stop and fixed the problem myself.

Just sad.  Some other work (even more complicated work) was done very well.  Eugene sounds pleasant and he responds quickly.  Had just one of the above events occurred, I might have been tempted to shrug it off.  But both in one day?  The red flags don't get any bigger or brighter.

I arranged everything over a couple of quick text messages, which is IMHO just the best and most relaxed way to set up appointments. Neil showed up next day promptly at the agreed upon time window and quickly identified and solved the problem, he was in and out in less than an hour. No upcharge, no random 'gotcha' surprise issues. Just straightforward service and good vibes all around. Got my invoice within 1-2 hours of the appointment, paid online, and that was that. Would definitely hire them again.

Very respectful very professional good hard-working and honest.  I highly recommend if we ever have any plumbing issues.

When water backup happens in your basement, if your knowledge is limited and your bank account is in shortage of greens - green tech plumbing will ease you down ....
1 out of 5 contractors who supposedly has 4 and above stars of reviews could not give me an estimate over the phone - rather they'll tell you how much $$$ it cost for them to visit and then go from there .... signs of ripping off your hard earned dollar .../
Green tech is so upfront with their price even though they haven't seen the problem yet - this is what I called honesty in service brought by experience .... they ask for the address and they search it in the web and there they figure the assessment based on the distance of your house towards the main drainage ...
Because of this I was being honest to them about my finances and they give me a substantial discount ....
The repair only took one hour ...
The owner who happens to take my call has that mild calm  fatherly tone of voice. This eases out my anxiety. Everyone else has this unprofessionally demanding full of threat like approach ....
I will definitely have this company in my list of favourite number in my phone...

The guys were friendly and informative. They also were more than kind to my curious 4 year old that wanted to know exactly what they were doing. They gave advice and suggestions. They seemed trustworthy and not just out to scam you for more money which is really appreciated. It's more important than ever with costs of things going up. I know it's a necessary thing to have done but it's refreshing to know that they informed me how to keep this from being a yearly thing or a major undertaking/large repair job. Thank you!

We had an emergency pipe break in our basement and water started spewing everywhere. Our water shut off wasn't working, so I frantically searched the internet for plumbers who could be there quickly. We had a plumber from another company come first and he said he had no idea how to fix the problem (thanks) and left. Next, we called these guys who were here in under an hour. LIFESAVERS!

It turned out that our b-box (city line shut off valve) was super old and messed up and that was preventing us from turning off water to the home. The team worked late that night and were here at 9 am the next two mornings to help us resolve the issue really quickly and run new piping from the curbside into our home.

Adam specifically went above and beyond, checking in with us frequently to keep us updated on costs, ETAs of when the team would be here, and more. He explained the whole project start to finish. Thank you so much, Adam!!

We will be calling again for drain/sewer cleaning in the future (and hopefully not many more emergency projects)!

When searching for a handyman/ electrician it can be very overwhelming as there are so many out there! After doing lots of research I finally landing on Sims and sons. They were able to get me in that week to do an estimate with Darrell after the estimate they told me they needed more time and that another electrician would come out the next week.
The next week Nel came out and he was very helpful explaining to me what was wrong and finished within an hour. Being a young female owning my first condo apartment it can be very frustrating when electrical issues come about because I have no ideas what to do! ha Having an electrician like Sims and sons that are are reliable and good prices makes all the difference!
Will definitely be calling again!

Really great work. Quickly installed a new outdoor faucet. Very happy with the results.

Trust! I think trust is most important in choosing an expert to fix a problem. Of course experience, knowledge, ability and integrity are also needed. But trusting the reviews written by others or trusting the recommendation of a friend is sometimes all we have to go by. I had a clogged drain about 15 feet downstream from my kitchen sink. It was the result of overzealous use of the garbage disposal. I tried snaking the drain myself but the clog was too big (turns out about 2 feet of drain was totally blocked). I did research on several websites looking for a plumber in my area who I could trust to do the work right - at a fair price. I narrowed the list to 4 companies. At 7:15 PM on a weekday I called each of them. I got two answering services that could not answer any of my technical questions, another said they would have someone call me back in a few minutes (never happened) and then there was Dmitry. Dmitry is one of the owners of CJ Plumbing. He answered the phone himself. He was able to discuss my issue intelligently, explain the likely scenarios and give me an estimated price range (min and max) for the job. It was clear from his questions and his input that he understood the problem and knew the likely solutions. As it turns out, he was absolutely correct about the issue and what it would take to fix it. I wanted to consider what he said before making a commitment. He said I could call him back anytime in the next few hours. I called several hours later and again he answered the phone and we scheduled a visit for the following afternoon.

The plumber who showed up (not the person I spoke to) was a delight to work with. He was professional, polite, and patient as he answered my many questions. He tried a few easy options to fix the problem (e.g. using a powered drain snake). When those did not work he said the best option was to cut out the clogged section of drain (which he had located) and replace it with a new section of pipe. The clogged part of the pipe included two 90 degree bends. He removed that section and replaced the sharp bends with pairs of 45 degree bends to allow waste to pass through the more easily. The drain pipe ran along the ceiling of my unfinished basement so there was direct access to the pipe. After replacing the section of pipe he verified that there were no leaks and cleaned up the area of the basement where he worked as well as the area under the kitchen sink. He even cleaned the sink.  

I was VERY pleased with his work and with his personality. The cost of the repair was within the range quoted on the phone (though near the higher end). My trust in CJ Plumbing was rewarded by their performance and their honesty. I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to friends and family. I recommend them to YOU.

Mike fixed our ancient tub faucet. He has lots of parts that fix old and new plumbing fixtures. Mike turned off the hot water, so he could determine that the hot water faucet was the faucet that needed repair. Mike has good detective skills. We will hire him again.

Juan came out and did the most thorough cleaning of the pipes. Inside, outside and to the street. I've got a lot of roots and with his camera, he showed me exactly where the problem areas are and was able to show before and after.

The ability to clearly communicate and answer my questions was super. I highly recommend this company. It is never cheap, but is a great investment to ensure years of problem free plumbing.

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