Best Plumbing Services in Chicago, IL

So, this was my first time having to hire a plumber.  Honestly, I was dreading it, but Drain-EEZ exceeded any expectations and hopes I had for the experience.  I live in a 110-year-old building which comes with both the charms and inconveniences of vintage construction.  Saturday night I experienced one of the bigger inconveniences:  deteriorating plumbing.  My kitchen sink had been draining slowly for some time, and I'd been throwing Drano down the pipes left and right.  Finally, the sink just said Screw you and quit draining altogether.  I decided to take a shot at playing plumber.  2 trips to Home Depot and 5 hours later, I'd replaced the jury-rigged piping underneath the sink (it's pretty appalling what can build up in your pipes over time) and made that not part of the problem.  What was still a problem was that the waste pipe was still clogged, and the clog was well past what I could reach.  Enter Drain-EEZ.  

Monday morning I turned to Yelp to see who I could find to help.  I called two places and left messages and requested quotes via the link on the Yelp pages of two others.  Pat at Drain-EEZ was the first to respond (within 20-30 minutes).  I explained the problem and told him i hoped to have someone come out the next day when I could be home.  I also advised I had a new faucet and disposal I was intending to install, but as long as someone was coming out, I'd like to have that done as well.  He said no problem and gave me his estimate.  

Tuesday afternoon, Lou showed up during the window Pat gave me.  He came in, took a look at what I had and what I wanted done and got to it.  His approach was methodical and efficient, and the end result was everything I'd hoped.  Faucet installed, works great.  Disposal installed, works great.  Waste pipe rodded, jury-rigged pipes reconfigured, and the sink drains like a champ.  I have a sink-mounted filtered water spigot, and when doing the sink install I had to decide between keeping that or installing the integrated soap dispenser I wanted to use.  Lou helped me find a great solution, and I'm having him come back out in the next week or two to implement that.  Oh, and he also showed me the best way to clean a stainless steel sink (toilet bowl cleaner, who knew?) so that there wasn't such a discrepancy between my old sink and my new faucet.  

In short, I will have absolutely zero hesitation about calling Drain-EEZ the next time I have a plumbing issue.  Responsive, great results, and the final charge was within the range quoted by Pat.

Thank you Mac for installing my new water heater. my water heater broke down one day, i called mac the next morning and he was at my house in 15 minutes because he was in the neighborhood! he tear down the old water heater tank and installed new one same day. my hot water running by 5pm! tyvm

Let's start this review by saying that I created this problem because I thought I could play plumber. I broke the pipe upon which my bath spout fits.

I live in a high rise and was very concerned that any leaking would enter neighboring units and put me on the hook for many thousands of dollars. I emailed rescue plumbing based on their reviews and I could not be happier.  The owner of the company called me with in 12 hours after I submitted the request late at night. He was willing to attempt giving me a quote over the phone with the obvious warning that things could change if the problem were something else.

His guys Pete and Paco showed up the next day, assessed the problem and got to work after reassuring me that everything was gonna be okay and that he could handle the job. They also patiently and kindly answered all of my million nervous questions. The walled me through the job told me exactly what they would do. As the plan changed a little bit, the updated me along the way.

Throughout all of this my building has a tendency to be very intolerant of contract work and as expected got very angry despite approval from my building engineer. Pete handled them like a champ. He talked on the phone with the engineer and handled our disgruntled security man with nothing but smiles, professionalism and class.

Even though the job was about $200 more than expected they told me this upfront and they were still hundredSSSSS of dollars cheaper than the guy I had assess the job before them. They were able to fix everything without removing tile and entering any other units or turning off water for my neighbors (which The Other Guys said they would need to).

Rescue plumbing all the way. If anything happens in the future I will not hesitate to call them and neither should you!

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

I highly recommend Scotty's Plumbing. First, he is responsive and gives a realistic expectation of when he can come. Second, he's efficient and knows what he is doing. It took him no time to fix our shower. Lastly, he's nice and very reasonable. I'm so glad we found Scotty's!

I will never call another plumbing company again. Tony pretty much saved us last winter when our pipes froze twice. He came out quickly and promptly each time and fixed our problem right away. The second time the same pipe froze and he came out and was able to thaw it before it burst and caused
More damage than we already had. Recently he came out right away to check on a leak and told us the city should fix it for free and saved us from spending more money than we needed to. I trust Tony and feel he is always honest with us and I really appreciate it. I honestly haven't compared costs to other plumbers recently but I would pay a little more knowing I had honest and reliable service with Tony.

OMG ... Chicago Sewer & Drain Professionals are the best!!!
I had a major blockage in my sewer line, lived in my home for over 25 years and never had an issue until recently - needless to say we had a problem.  Two different plumbers came out and immediately gave us worst case scenarios, neither bothered to rod properly nor use a camera to see what the issue was.  David suggested we start with hydro jetting first to see if the line could be cleared, after 45 minutes the blockage was removed saving us thousands of dollars!
I am so happy I continued my search and found this company. They are honest & I cannot say enough good things about them.

Chris did an awesome job. Our old garbage disposal was leaking. Chris replace it within half an hour. Now our kitchen is beautiful and clean again.

I've used First Chicago when it was I think just the owner, Eugene. Now it sounds like they have a small group of plumbers and a shop on Elston Ave. It's not surprising they are growing. Today, Jorge Serna was pleasant, fast, and gave me helpful advice about following through with their my own maintenance. Good communication, excellent service, reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

I called the office and Debbie was able to get someone out to inspect a possible leak that day.  Mitch was dispatched to our apartment to look for the leak.  He was prompt, professional and knowledgeable.  I had already removed a section of the ceiling to expose the pipes.   He spent about an hour looking.  Although we didn't find the source of the leak, Mitch suggested I not close up the ceiling for a while.  It's been about a week and no leaks.  He said it could have be my upstairs neighbor.  Since it hasn't happened again, I haven't ask them.  The cost of the inspection was very reasonable.  I will definitly use Sound Plumbing again.Thanks Mitch.

I was really impressed with the service provided by Jesus. I received an immediate response for a quote which was fair and accurate. He repaired my kitchen drain sink Monday morning after requesting quote on Sunday. It was refreshing dealing with a honest and skilled professional! Will definitely use him again for all of my plumbing needs.

Where do I Start? I had a nightmare happen last winter and Green Tech saved me from the brink of who knows what. I own a 2 flat with a store front uptown Park Ridge. Well in the middle of the coldest winter in history our sewage drain decided to collapse. I called Kevin after a friend told me about him. He explained that the problem was old clay pipes and they were 10 feet down under frozen permafrost. Well he had the knowhow and equipment to dig threw the frozen ally down to the broken pipe and replace everything with new up to date PVC all with pulling the right permits from Park Ridge. I was happy he was able to take care of it so fast. The price was 1/2 of what I was expecting to pay. Kevin and his crew are very knowledgeable and a asset to the community.
    In a funny twist I had to call him 2 weeks later  for an emergency rod job on my home main drain. I'm glad I have his number in my contacts and will be using him for years to come.

Needed last minute pluming needs and they showed up and did a great job. Would recommend to anyone needing plumbing help.

We had a gas leak over the weekend, which resulted in our gas shut off. I was able to contact Captain Rooter and someone who is able to come out quickly and identify that there were multiple leaks. They return the following day and were able to address all the leaks and found a couple of more. Very fortunate that this did not turn into a fire or worse.
Special things to Manny and Brandon for all the hard work, especially during this time of year. They were nothing short of excellent and fantastic, hard-working individuals.

Messaged Sims and Sons about an issue with our toilet and not only did we hear back within the hour but they came out that evening to give a free estimate. Great customer service and very honest pricing. We would use Sims and Sons again with any future issues.

I like i got a Quote on Yelp instead of being told they cant give a price without someone coming to the house and then you are potentially wasting days and then you get a too high quote but feel pressured to go with them, so when i got a quote from ABV and thought it fair i made a appointment and they came the next day.

Okay, so being completely transparent, I didn't end up using them for my sink repair. But, I wanted to review just for the customer service. I called them this morning because I need to have the pipes fixed under my kitchen sink, as they're all corroded and have holes leaking everywhere. Dimitry asked me to send a picture of the issue so he could estimate it, which I did, and he called me back with a quote of $250-$275 to replace the 3 metal pipes with PVC. But, he openly said This isn't a hard job and you should just have a handyman do it, because any plumber will be way too expensive. Get a handyman who will cost $100 and you can use the savings to buy holiday gifts.

So, A+ customer service for honesty and knowing that the price he quoted me was way more than what is actually needed. If I ever need major plumbing (or heating) work done (which hopefully won't ever be the case, but life happens), I would definitely call CJ Plumbing & Heating first.

I have a tenant in Rogers Park and needed someone who would be able to go to the tenant and take care of a clogged sink. (I do not live near enough to be able to head over on short notice myself.) Mike responded to my request almost immediately, we talked on the phone and I provided him with all the information I thought would be helpful. He gave me a very reasonable quote and was able to schedule an appointment with my tenant and handle everything that needed to be done. The job was not too small for him! So grateful that he was able to come out and handle this for me and quickly! My tenant said that Mike was an awesome dude and everything is now running smoothly. We both greatly appreciate his service!

They came out early per my request and checked a clogged sink. They explained why it seemed clogged and didn't charge me for the consultation since they didn't have to do any unclogging. Very professional, fair, and trustworthy!

Price a bit more than I expected, but he was second plumber I called after the first one charged me without finding the source ceiling water leak was coming from.

Highly recommend Noel.
