Best Plumbing Services in Chicago, IL

We woke up to water pouring through our condo ceiling and called Apex as we'd used them before for plumbing. They were very busy and said they might not be able to make it out that day, but then moved things around to fit us in because it was an emergency! The plumber came quickly, called with a 30-minute heads up when he was on his way, and diagnosed the problem right away. The upstairs neighbor's plumbing was involved, so he had to communicate with her too, and wound up replacing her toilet. He did his due diligence of making sure the water stopped dripping in our place before confirming that was the problem, which we appreciate as we've had less diligent plumbers in the past. He got everything done quickly and wore a mask and gloves really appreciated too, as we are super paranoid right now. I will say I'm a bit on the crazy side about covid so I was disappointed that he didn't have shoe covers, and the mask was a basic surgical mask, not the N95 advertised on their site, but he was very careful and considerate the whole time, and I think his precautions were all reasonable and professional - plus I can understand they might not be able to access N95 masks right now.

I tried to install a bidet from Amazon and failed so miserably I couldn't even get my toilet hooked back up to the water line without massive spray leaks. I figured out quickly that I was in over my head and needed to pay a pro to bail me out.

I chose Vanguard because they were located near me and had been in business for over a decade. I emailed a photo with my (non-emergency) issue and they replied to me first thing next day to get more details. They weren't able to come out right away, but I take that as a good sign when a plumber is busy enough with work to not be immediately available. I wanted to pay a professional to get the job done correctly, the first time, and was willing to accept what that kind of work costs. I emailed on Tuesday night and by Thursday morning Jan was able to come out (earlier than anticipated) and solved my issue within an hour. Jan had the right tools, replacement parts, installed the bidet for me, no leaks, and even took the time to educate me about some valves on my water heater in my new-to-me condo. He was professional and friendly.  I can highly recommend Vanguard Plumbing!

Victor is the most honest and efficient plumber I've ever worked with! I  found him through the recommendation of other plumbers I had called to help fix our main sewer line which had overflowed into our house. It was definitely a happy accident. He came to our house day-of to work on the issue and to start the process of getting a permit and installing a clean out. We have worked with many plumbers who gave us crazy quotes and tried to do other work that could have potentially flooded our house. I highly recommend calling Victor if you want someone knowledegable and great to work with!

This is an update. I received a full explanation as to why the job was so expensive and it made perfect sense. I would have appreciated a heads up beforehand but I now understand the background so all good.

Excellent service all around. From the response time to the actual work done at my house all with an upmost professional attitude and dedication.
Cannot recommend them enough!

Great choice! I called All-rooter & Plumbing mainly because of their reviews. I left a message and they called back within the hour. They gave me a time slot of 5-6pm and they showed up an hour early. When does that happen??  anyway. We went over the cost of unclogging the toilet and rodding out the main sewer line, fair prices...Bert was also able to answer a few additional questions and provided some estimates. Definetely recommend Bert and his helper, they were quick and courteous.

I would like to thank Zach and Vinny from Kevin Szabo Plumbing for the great job they did replacing a section of pipe under my basement floor. I highly recommend them for your plumbing needs.

Had one of those mornings where you wake up to find a small pond in your basement, the latest round of snowfall and a busted water heater. Oh yea, and with the Chicagoland's coldest temperatures in 20 years in the forecast. Needless to say, I wasn't having the best day ever.

Fast forward a mere hour or so and the Plumbing Pros van pulls into the driveway.

Long story short, Gary truly made my day much more tolerable with his prompt response, extensive knowledge of the situation at-hand and of course his true professionalism. And it was great to get the hot water flowing again. Thanks again, Gary. You have a new customer in me.

These guys went above and beyond. I bought a new unit in my building and there were a few items I'd planned (fixture changes, sconces, outlet tests) and a few I didn't (2 broken breakers, and a few other complications). Jose was professional, polite, and very helpful. I knew just enough electrical to get part way on some of the projects then got stuck. He made above and beyond trips for parts on short notice and was very easy to work with, both him and his assistance for the heavy lifting. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again, and in case you need them to be insured for your homeowners association, they quickly provided this as well.

We switched our kitchen sink and I needed to move the drain, install garbage disposal, and install new kitchen faucet.  I received a couple of quotes which were around the same price.  I talked to Andrew H. and felt like he was the best option.  He explained least case, min case and best case options and why and let me choose what worked for me.  He had an open dialogue before, during and after the project.  He was careful and thorough and extremely knowledgeable.  I will be requesting Andrew for all future plumbing work!!  Great experience!!

Our old water softener failed after so many years. We called different contractors and Arco was able to come out soon and at a reasonable price. They replaced the water softener and left our home clean too. Thank you. If we have other issues with our plumbing, we will be back for sure.

My project, which was to replace the rotted trim around the entry doors of a rental property proved more challenging than was initially anticipated. Tim came up with a solution, and executed the work to my complete satisfaction.
He arrived on time, and somehow survived a trip to Home Depot to pick up supplies, when half of Chicago had decided to spend their Memorial Day there!
I would definitely hire him again

My 21 year old hot water heater died and after some research I reached out to Rooter Plumbing.  Alex (the owner) responded immediately and 2 days later (he actually offered to come the next day but i was out of town) he was at my house with the new heater.  Arrived on time and worked efficiently and left the place spotless.  I had a few questions and reached out to Alex again and he was so responsive!  Great service, friendly and most importantly, trustworthy.  I will definitely be using them again!

Chicago Sewer Experts came out to fix an issue we were having with our washer/sink draining. Not only were they late (arrived past the time window we were given and no call to let us know they were running late), but the worker then locked his keys in the car which took half an hour to resolve. He used OUR tools to get himself back into his car. Once he was finally able to get in the car and get his tools, he did NOT tell us that blowing out the hose of the dryer would cause our kitchen sink to be blown out too. This caused mud and debris from the pipes to be blown all over our kitchen and our ceiling, which led to a lengthy cleaning process on our end and trying to figure out how to scrub the ceiling. Absolutely do not use them.

Excellent value for the work. We were very pleased with the job they did. They were also accommodating and professional

We called Goode at the recommendation of friends who had worked with them. Chip and Henry came out to install a new toilet that we had purchased ourselves. While they were on-site I also decided to have our main sewer line cleared and scoped due to some other issues we were having and they quickly sent Mike and Jared out same-day to do that work.

They were on time (early, actually), were able to get the second crew out quickly, they worked fast, were extremely professional and courteous, kept me updated as the work progressed, explained things and answered questions along the way and kept things clean as they wrapped up the job.

The only 'complaint' is that the work was pretty expensive. We were able to get a break on price because we hired them for multiple services, which I appreciated, but it still was not cheap.

I can't say whether I'd recommend Goode for more extensive or complicated work given the given the straightforward nature of what we had done and the cost. However, I can say that that I definitely appreciated their team's customer service, professionalism, and attention to detail in the work they did for us and will strongly consider them the next time we need a plumber.

He gave me a time to meet about a water tank issue I have.  He never came or answered any calls while I waited for him at house.  But he gave my number to some other plumber's to do the job.  Very bad way to run a business.
