Best Plumbing Services in Chicago, IL

We had a reoccurring issue with sewage leaking from our drain stack onto the sidewalk near our house. Previously, two different plumbers worked on the problem--the first at a very hefty sum. Jeff of Apex, came out to give us estimate. After thoroughly inspecting the problem, answering my numerous questions and giving me a logical explanation of the problem--I decided Jeff was the guy for the job! He located the root of the problem to a drain pipe in the basement. He rodded it and replaced its outdated seal. I really must highlight my appreciation for Jeff's patience in answering my questions, and educating me about the problem while maintaining his professionalism. If necessary, I'll definitely use Apex again!

Jan (the owner) of Vanguard plumbing is an old-school trademan.  He does things once and does them correctly.  If you want to cheap out on your job, this is not your guy.  We had some pipes freeze, but not burst in our basement during the recent Chiberia winter.  We had to reroute some pipes, take out drywall in our finished basement and install new pipes.  Jan was helpful every step of the way explaining what they were going to do, gave me a quote which was reasonable and communicated all along.  He even recommended a good drywall guy to patch the holes we created along the way.  We now have freeze proof plumbing, shut-off valves installed and a new outdoor faucet which can't freeze.  Jan is the only plumber I'll call from now on.

Highly recommended, professional, thoughtful, reasonable and through. We have used him twice and will continue to work with him. Found him on Yelp!

Wayne was right on time and able to disassemble the Murphy bed we needed to move. Her worked quickly and was extremely polite.

I originally found this business through yelp and had been calling on them for all my plumbing needs. Very reasonably priced, prompt and professional. I very much recommend them for any plumbing issues.

I can't think of any small business that deserves its 5-star rating more than Bert at All Rooter & Plumbing. Bert is the consummate professional - quickly answering emails/calls/texts, showing up to appointments on time, and providing 1st rate service. But what really impresses me is his honesty, integrity, and work ethic.

Sounds a little over the top? Let me explain...

Like most homeowners, there's aspects of my home that completely elude me. Plumbing is one of those, and I don't hesitate calling in the pros when the occasion calls - and that occasion came calling last night. The basement toilet of our 100-year-old bungalow started backing up, and didn't clear after some pretty aggressive plunging. Then the drain in the shower stall (next to the toilet) wouldn't drain, and had a few inches of standing water. The water level in the toilet lowered to almost nothing, and started to bubble. Worst of all, the sewage ejector pump starting backing up (and smelling as you'd probably expect). Not pleasant, and not easily fixable, especially at 1AM on a Wednesday.

Within minutes, I had my wife looking up some local plumbers, while I left messages with the 4-5 most promising ones. Bert @ All Rooter was not only the first to call me in the morning, but the ONLY one to get back to me, period. And he not only made an appointment to swing by that same day, but showed up on time.

But here's where I was truly blown away - after looking at the problem, and guessing it was a bad ejector pump, he went to work. After 4-5 minutes, Bert called me over, and showed me a filthy ball of baby wipes that had clogged the pipes. Once that was cleared out, the problem was solved - and when I reached for the checkbook, he said no charge.

Bert could have easily replaced that pump, charged me for it, and I'd have been none the wiser. And in all likelihood, I'd have probably written a glowing Yelp review on top of it all. And there'd have been zero chance I'd have caught it.

If it were possible to give Bert more than 5 stars, I would. He deserves it in my book. However, things being what they are, All Rooter will have  to settle for my absolutely highest recommendation, my thanks, my respect, and my future business.

Five Star Service. Excellent Communication. Honest and Reliable. 10/10 would plumb again

After being cancelled on by another plumbing company, I called Plumbing Pros because of the strong reviews. They were able to get me in at the same time/date I had with the initial plumbers (phew!) so that I didn't have to miss more work. Bobby was friendly and was able to give me a reasonable estimate before he began the job. Our drains were pretty grossly clogged, so the price came in at the high end of the estimate, but to be quite honest I was expecting it. AND the high end of the estimate/final price was still less than I had actually been expecting. So win-win all around. I would definitely call these guys again!

We have a 1930s house with 1930s plumbing and our bathtub wasn't draining properly. The problem was that the previous owners of the house hadn't bothered to maintain the pipes in so long, the trap had rusted itself shut. Jose did a fantastic job in fixing the issue. He was also great about answering any question I had. Their prices are fair and I greatly appreciate that they list out everything that comes with that pricing. I will definitely be using them again for anything that comes up.

Scheduled appointment for 10am on Monday.  No show and no one called. I don't know what else Yelp wants me to write, as this is my complaint.

We are new homeowners and reached out after discovering a wet rug and what appeared to be dried sediment in our laundry room. I smelled sewage, and my wife didn't, so we needed to consult a professional for a tiebreaker.

I saw positive reviews on Yelp, so I left a message for Arco in the early morning and Peter called back within two hours.

Peter took the time to listen to our issue and provide on the spot guidance, rather than coming out to diagnose a problem just to charge for a visit. He recommended calling the Downers Grove sanitation department first, which I did and they came out quickly to assess.

Without even knowing Arco referred us to them, the rep stated that we did the right thing by calling them to come out before having a plumber come out. He said if we had continued issues to call Arco because they  know the process, are honest, and will not upsell.  That was exactly my experience, so they will be our go-to from now on!

Had a problematic front door that wouldn't close properly.  Tim picked up the phone right away - and just happened to be in the neighborhood.  Stopped by and fixed the problem in about 15 minutes.  Rates were very reasonable and I would definitely recommend him as he will now be our one stop shop going forward when needing a friendly neighborhood handyman!  Thanks again!

I had a clogged underground downspout drain in La Grange area.  Just noticed it during installation of new gutters, replacing probably 40 year old gutters.  Rooter showed up within an hour for a free estimate.  He got hands on and showed me how extremely jam packed it was with dirt and roots.  It had probably been that way for years and years.

He offered a few solutions and was honest about the probability of it being a total loss anyway after trying those solutions, needing to dig up and replace the pipe.  In the end, I think I'm going to avoid it altogether and go with a normal above ground downspout solution.  

Rooter has fast, reliable, honest service.  I'm going to call them again the next time I need a plumber.

I am currently going through an inspection process to purchase a property so I was looking for JUST a quote on how much it would cost for them to come out to do a sewer scope through the toilet. Within 12 hours, I received 4 phone call from Chicago Sewer Experts (all different people trying to push me to get me on the schedule AFTER specifying that I just want a quote for the sewer scope). Haven't worked with them yet, but I shouldn't been called that many times being asked the same questions.

Dave did an excellent job replacing my parents garbage disposal. They are very happy with the work and inexpensive price. They are now our go to plumbers

Completely dissatisfied and disgusted with two recent jobs by Goode Plumbing, especially considering that I am a repeat customer (3 jobs in 2020-2021) who had a good experience with this company in the past.  Not only did they not do the job as outlined in the estimate/proposal (rebuild a vintage shower... in fact they did not rebuild anything), but even worse, now the shower is not functioning at all.  So, I paid $1,700 to have damage to my vintage shower that will now cost me at least $1,200 to fix (according to another plumber).  Not to mention that they kept my credit card on file without my authorization and charged the final payments without my authorization.  Also the scheduling and follow up from the office staff was pathetic.  One person seemed to know what was going on and another, completely clueless.  Will not work with this company in the future.

Walter has done numerous jobs at my place and I was always satisfied..until lfew weeks ago when he was scheduled to come, failed to show up, I called him said he was on his way... It was 2 weeks ago..I must have called 10 times, to no avail...
I will not work with Walter again..
