Best Plumbing Services in Chicago, IL

This review is long overdue. I bought a condo about a year ago. It's a duplex down. The unit had an ejector pump on the lower level that I didn't know was already 7 years old when I moved in with my family. So, it was ready to give up on us. When it finally did, I hopped on yelp to search for a plumber. Of course, after seeing the consistent 5 stars for Drain-EEZ and their location (not too far from us), we had to go with them. What I love about the manager and this company is that they're pretty fast to get out to you. And I love that it's family owned.

The manager is straight forward, knowledgeable, considerate, and extremely fair. It DID hurt our pockets that we had to replace the pump, but, the price for the pump and labor was fair. After he replaced the pump not too long passed before the pump stopped working. We called Drain-EEZ and again they got to our place in good time. (I think early the next morning.) When they checked out the problem, we came to find out baby wipes were being flushed down the toilet. For those that don't know, that's a no-no. The pump got tangled up in the wipes. Wipes don't break down. After paying, I'm thinking, boy, I hope this pump doesn't become a problem.

I should note, I have a 3 year old and a 6 month old. The 3 year old is now potty trained and goes in the bathroom on his own. He sleeps in the lower lever with us. So we have to watch what goes down the toilet.

About another month passes before the pump stops on us again. This is actually this morning when it happens (Dec 31st). The pump is only 3 months old and we've been having issues with it it seems like every month. It's not cheap, but, thank God Drain-EEZ is our plumber. The manager remembered us, of course. The family that got the wipes tangled on the pump. Well, they check out whats wrong and find something like a string from a mop or a shoe string. It gets sucked up the pipe before he can catch it to show us. The second thing he finds is that the pump is hot. Not good. that means the oil that turns the gears has been working overtime. that's bad if we want to keep the life of the pump in good health. Anyway, it's a week after Christmas. We spent a ton on gifts and it's new years eve. we really don't have the money to be shelling out for this, but, I'm just thankful they were able to show up in such short notice. Before I can ask how much do we owe you, he (i think the manager's name is Pat) says, you know what?I know we were out here a couple of times in the passed 3 months. You guys have a happy New Years. He didn't charge us for his time, and we're having a Happy New Years.

Thanks you Drain-EEZ.

Called Fastplumbing247 and they totally lived up to the 5 star reviews.  I spoke with Mac re:likely replacement of hot water heater (was about 14 years old).  He was extremely nice, professional, an obvious expert at what he does, and I had a new Rheem 50 gal water heater installed in what I think was less than 1.5 hours.  Very impressive, fair price, and a follow-up next day to make sure everything was working out well with the new unit. Relieved to have hot water again, and very happy with this experience.  Highly recommend!  Thanks, Mac and FastPlubming247!

Our ejector pump failed and Rescue Plumbing saved the day! Pete and Victor came quickly, diagnosed the problem, provided all of the materials we needed for our insurance and had everything fixed in no time. I would definitely recommend them.

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

I had a variety of plumbing issues on a condo I purchased. Scott was great, he was quickly able to diagnose the problems. After he knew what components were needed, he quickly ran to the local hardware store, came back with what he needed. He was thorough in addressing the problems and didn't leave until he was satisfied things were working properly. I highly recommend him, and will absolutely use him for any future issues.

After showering this morning I couldn't get my water to stay shut off.  Soon the handle was removed and water was gushing out of the neck of the faucet.  I called Rocket and they were at my condo within 1.5 hours from my call.  Within 20 minutes of being here, Anthony had our shower fixed and even improved our water pressure.  Apparently our cartrige was so old that it had deteriorated.  Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Another plumber that dropped the ball on getting back to me and organizing the time to go out.  Another plumber who wants to assume work is required without doing the basic problem solving beforehand.

Chris and Julio were AWESOME. They were super courteous and friendly, which is not always a given these days. I called this company to investigate a leak at the base of our toilet -- typically an issue with the wax seal. However, almost instantly they figured out that the leak was from a shoddy renovation job a couple years ago (different contractor); they then fixed it on the spot. This basically saved us from potentially having water leak into the neighbors below us... and all for a very fair price. Highly recommended -- save yourself the time and hassle of shopping around and just give these guys a call.

Gathered 4 different quotes to have a water line and spigot run from my roof deck to our nearest bathroom(~12 ft).  First Chicago Plumbing was the cheapest quote we received, with the next closest quote over twice the amount of First Chicago's.  Moved forward with First Chicago Plumbing to perform the work, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Not only were they the price leader, but their quality of work was/is impeccable. Additionally, the two plumbers that performed the work were friendly and engaging - a delight to work with overall. Having been 9 months since install, the spigot and bib have held up very well through the rough Chicago winter, and I have no doubts First Chicago Plumbing will be my go-to plumbing contractor moving forward.

Finally I have found a plumber that I can trust.  I needed a saddle valve replaced. They responded and scheduled quickly and then completed the job in less time than they estimated. I had a different plumber replace a saddle valve in the recent past that cost me hundreds more!

Jesus came, explained the issue, told me the price and fix the problem. Very knowledgeable about his line of work and friendly. What else can you ask for.

If you ever have plumbing problems, call him first. Hopefully I will never have to use his services again, lol, but if I do, I know I can't go wrong.

Thanks again Jesus!

They literally saved Christmas this year. I had another sewer company out for a simple sewer rodding and they gave me bad news that the line had collapsed and it would be $6500 to fix. Gulp. Went on Yelp for a second estimate, saw all the great reviews of Green Tech and called them. They came out the next day and fixed the clog, NOT a break, for $260.  Can't recommend them enough. Professional, quick response, reasonable price, everything I could have wanted.

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.

Andrew was an amazing contractor. He took the time to hear our service request and look at what was really needed to meet our needs as a restaurant business. During his review of the job site, he stated required code requirements and provided other suggestive services options.  Andrew provided professional service with quality work.

We, World Wings, will definitely keep Captain Rooter in our back pocket of future service needs.

I told Darrell I was working from home and had to be on a con call. He said they would text me when they got there which they did. The guys waited patiently as I wrapped up. I pointed out the areas while Darrell was on the phone and they confirmed the price before proceeding. The guys wore masks, asked questions, gave explanations and worked quickly. I would recommend them and use them again.

I used ABV plumbing three different times and will continue to use them in the future for all plumbing needs. They are honest with pricing, flexible with scheduling, and very professional in helping me understand options instead of just selling one thing. This level of transparency is usually not encountered with services such as these and for that reason ABV plumbing will always be my go to when needs arise.

Very prompt response to my request for a quote and service. On time and courteous. Quick, clean work. Patient with kids and curious dogs!

Spoke with Mike over the phone and he gave me some DIY advice on some of the trouble I had with my old faucet. Though, I didn't feel comfortable changing the faucet myself as the pipes I had were old, I decided to have him come over and do it. During the process, I was able to watch and he answered all the questions I had about what he was doing and he answered all the general plumbing questions I had. I would highly recommend him as he's very knowledgable and patient.

I have had Juan come out twice to look at 2 issues. He used his camera scope to diagnose a drain issue and also installed a new sump pump for me.

All around one of the best experiences I have had with a contractor. He was helpful in sharing his knowledge. He didn't take on work where he felt it was outside his expertise. When he did the sump pump install, it was very detailed and the price was very fair.

Noel was great, he stayed for 4+ hours to resolve our problem on a Saturday. Thank you very much.
