Best Plumbing Services in Chicago, IL
Pat and his helper Kevin arrived on time November 12, 2018. I asked him to check out the sink drain connection and dishwasher drain connection since I had replaced a hose on the dishwasher drain and a P trap on the left side sink. In the process I thought I may have broken the seal on the sink drain and just wanted him to check my work to make sure there were no other leaks. I also asked him to replace a very short hose on the dishwasher drain that I did not replace but was old.
Pat had to replace my sink drain, the P trap with PCV piping and the exit plumbing from the sink. He also replaced the short piece of hose on the dishwasher drain set up with a different configuration. He checked the plumbing for leaks but we did not turn on the dishwasher. His price was $295 for one hour work parts and labor. When I questioned the charge after he left he agreed to a concession on price of $70.
After he left on Monday my wife turned on the dishwasher and when it started to drain a good amount of water immediately started to come out of the small hose connection. Pat returned the following day and worked on it for about 30 minutes and finally gave up and said I needed to replace the drain hose from the dishwasher and that it was missing a metal end piece. He basically just left and said it was an appliance problem. I called an appliance parts supplier and after explaining what Pat indicated the representative said that the dishwasher did not have a metal end piece on my Bosh dishwasher and that I might have a plumber problem.
With that I went to work on fixing the leak using the same configuration used before Pat started work on it and some plumber tape. After some effort I was able to fix the leak and tested it with a full cycle on the dishwasher. The dishwasher drains twice after wash and rinse and there was no water leaking form the hose. Problem solved
So bottom line Pat did not know how to fix the problem which is surprising given how many years he said he has been doing this. What really was unprofessional was leaving me with the problem and saying it was not his fault and call an appliance repair company. This would have been a one star if not for the concession on price. Pat seems to be okay on the simpler plumbing issues but not on problem cases. More interested in getting on to the next job. I think he is a one man operation so finishing quickly is more important than quality of work. I would not recommend them.

Mac was a life saver. We own and manage a 3-flat in Rogers Park and when the hot water heater suddently stopped working (and it wasn't just the flame out), I started panicking as our tenants have zero patience and are quick to demand rent credits. I yelp searched hot water heater repair and saw all the good reviews for Fastplumbing247. Company name was accurate as Mac answered my call after just a few rings and was at my building same day to diagnose and repair the issue.
Finding service this good is rare! Give them a call, you won't regret it!

Ben and his colleague (sorry, forgot his name) were really friendly and a pleasure to work with. They were straightforward and really went the extra mile to answer my questions and make sure I was happy with their service. I'm glad I called.

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

Scotty is still the best plumber in town!! He replaced the entire guts of both toilets in my condo. This included replacing both wax seals, bowl gaskets, tank bolts, and fill valve kits (contractor series since high rise condos require at least 80 PSI). He had to make two trips to a plumbing store and Home Depot since older toilets need a different size bowl gasket. Thankfully, he was able to find it in stock. In addition, he replaced both chrome p-trap kits under both bathroom sinks. Another great job by Scotty!

Rocket responded to my request promptly and arrived (early) the next day to fix the problem. Repairs, costs, and risks were explained in detail. Work was completed same day and pricing was fair. We will definitely call them again if we have a problem.

First Chicago Plumbing is great! They responded right away when I contacted them. I've used them twice now and they did a great job both times. Once for my toilet which was making a loud noise when flushing. The second for a leak we had in the kitchen sink. They came right away and fixed the leak and replaced the old faucet with the new one I'd purchased. They are honest and will not pull a fast one.
I'd recommend their business to anyone.

Mid-kitchen remodel, I realized I needed the gas line to my stove moved about a foot to accommodate new cabinets. I contacted four different plumbers who quoted me a minimum of $400 to do what I knew would be less than an hour's worth of work. When I contacted Sound Plumbing, Debbie told me they charge by the hour, and the job I was asking for would be two hours max. All in all, it took an hour and a half, and they prorated the half hour on my invoice. The work was top notch. Now I know who I'll go to if I need any other plumbing done.

Jesus was awesome. We've had a smell coming from our toddler's bath for 2+ years. It's new construction and no plumber has been able to determine the cause. Jesus arrived for a no-cost assessment. Jesus knows his stuff and immediately ruled out the usual culprits (blocked vent, missing p-trap, etc.)
Jesus was unsure of the cause (like every other plumber we have asked) and provided a fair estimate to break into the drywall and investigate. Before doing so, he gave us one last cheap/easy solution to try. He recommended letting CLR sit in the drain for an extended period of time. Low and behold, this recommendation seems like it might have worked. We've tried plenty of different drain cleaners (bleach, vinegar, etc.) and none of them worked. Somehow CLR seems to have fixed things up (fingers crossed). I can't find a single recommendation of this CLR method online, so it's not like Jesus was telling us something that is widely know.
You should feel comfortable hiring Jesus. He was quick, super-responsive, and honest. He provided us advice that didn't provide him any revenue, but ultimately created a long-time customer for all our future plumbing needs.

My 97 year old mother-in-law was given an outrageous estimate to repair or replace her 65 year old bathroom sink from another plumbing company. I contacted Kevin at Green Tech and found out that he is familiar with her classic Crane sink. On their first visit, it was determined that the repair parts for that sink would be very expensive, and a replacement sink was suggested. Kevin went above and beyond to find a sink/faucet combination that complimented her 1950's motive. He worked with my mother-in-law to keep the price within her budget. The installer did a very professional job. My mother-in-law is very pleased with how closely the sink matches the other bathroom fixtures.
It is very refreshing to find a plumbing company that does not take advantage of the elderly.
Thank you Kevin!!!

Very professional and courteous. Came when they said they would, stayed within the price that they quoted, wore masks, and worked quickly. Highly recommend them.

This company broke a line while cleaning and caused another trouble.
Water got stuck in my bathtub and called them right after Christmas. The guy came to fix it quickly. He charged me $350. One month later, I found water leaking from hallway and living room. I actually found out that one joint under bathtub was broken. It was obviously that the damage was caused by their repair guy but the customer service said they were not responsible for any damage. High cost and no warranty at all after the job. I had to spend another $1,000 to replace the piece. M worst experience ever in repair.

Not a great experience. I was quoted a price via text message and sent pics of the jobs I wanted to do and I agreed to have the work done with the price I was quoted. Worker arrived 20 mins late, not a big deal, but was polite and professional. I guess the light fixture was suppose to be a two man job and took him a little longer than normal, which again was no big deal for me. The outdoor camera was installed without any issue and done in a speedy time frame, but when I called to make a payment I was quoted $150 extra for what Derek said was a 'service call fee'.
I can understand an additional $30-40 for the extra time it took to install the light fixture but $150 when I told him what I needed done is unacceptable, especially when I was NEVER told about an additional $150 'service call fee'. So be careful and make sure to ask for a total 'out the door' price before having any work done.
The work looks like it was done right and looks pretty good so no complaint there.
Update: Upon hearing I was displeased with the$150 service call fee, Derek called me and said he would refund me the amount since it was never mentioned to me prior to getting the work done. Still not happy about it, but at least they care about customer satisfaction which is a good sign.

Our bathroom sink became completely clogged on a Saturday morning. It's the only upstairs bathroom in our home and needless to say - a nightmare when unusable. I called Hristo at ABV and he was able to come out and clear the drain in a matter of hours. He also repaired a leaky drain in another washroom. Price was very reasonable with excellent customer service. Highly recommend ABV!!

We were having ongoing sump pump issues and our neighbor recommended CJ Plumbing. Dmitry responded within minutes of my initial call and he came out the next day (on a Saturday) to check it out. He diagnosed the problem and explained it clearly so that I could understand. Within a day or two he quoted a few potential solutions with corresponding prices, we agreed to a plan, then his plumber arrived a few days after that. His plumber was friendly and considerate (shoes, mask etc.) and got right to work. The job was completed quickly and the work is much more solid and professional than other plumbers I have used in the past. Absolutely would use CJ Plumbing again in the future.

Believe the 5 star reviews, Mike is awesome! It's so nice to have a plumber in my contacts who I not only know will do great work, but is also fair and 100% trustworthy. Mike is also super responsive, dependable, and takes great pride in his work. And to top it all off, we actually had a really fun day together when he came by! Great guy + great work = no brainer on reaching out to him for your plumbing needs.

Our water heater stopped working about two weeks ago. Since that time, we've tried several of the different large plumbing services who were providing large estimates without even looking at my issues. For me, the very last straw was when I called one of the services I used at the very start of my issues. The new technician explained to me that the technician that the firm sent out the first time didn't do the work correctly but he (from the same exact company) would fix me right up for an additional $4,000.
It was at this point that I knew I needed to try a very different approach. I opened Yelp and placed a query for a plumber. Juan from A&Y plumbing and Sewer Services responded to my query. Let me just say that if you are a homeowner in need for quality work by someone who not only explains to you what needs to be done but also treats you with respect - this is the company for you. I have noticed in previous projects at my home that some of this large plumbing services assume that if you are calling them, you are so desperate to end your problem you will pay any ridiculous cost. I've owned my home over twenty years. I have at least a couple of instances where I knew I overpaid for subpar work and I was determined that I would be treated fairly in the effort. With Juan I felt in my gut that he would be trust worthy because he started out with let me see if this can be fixed and if not, we can discuss other options. This was In stark contrast to the other service where the gentleman immediately told me, this isn't something you repair, it is something you replace!. He hadn't even come to my home yet.
In short, Juan was able to fix it. He then walked me through the process he followed to trouble shoot the issue and correct the problem. I have an advanced degree in information technology so root cause analysis is something I truly appreciate! It doesn't mean i expected to walk away knowing how to troubleshoot this issue myself but for someone to just give me the respect of fully explaining what was happening and why we needed to fix/replace things.
For me, during a time when I felt like other services were treating me horribly - it was absolutely refreshing to be treated with kindness and respect. The cherry on the cake was that Juan's cost was reasonable and his work was awesome! This was one of those times where I very gladly paid his fee and I am already referring him to my friends and family. This is company is definitely a keeper for me!!

This is the second time we have used Five Plumbing. Both times we learned more about our plumbing. He was on time, pleasant, clean, efficient and both times solved our problem for less than we thought it would cost. What he did was find the real problem we were having and solve that! So He is also knowledgeable and trustworthy! I will definatly use him again and recommend this plumber to my friends.
