Best Plumbing Services in Chicago, IL

I own a town home.  I've had numerous problems with my sewer and have had several plumbers look at it.  Most recently about 25 feet of sewer line outside my garage crashed.  The first plumber knew there was a problem because he put about 40 feet of rod through the clean out in the kitchen, which came with the house.  He noted that it was only about 17 feet to the sewer main.  He didn't have a camera and never came back.  I called the plumber I normally use.  I thought that if I was going to change a pipe, I might as well have a clean out installed.

He located the problem and dug a hole about 5 feet down.  There wasn't a pipe there.  Before talking to me, he dug a hole a couple feet away and changed a pipe to install a clean out.  He threw out the pipe before I could see it and tried to convince me that there was a second problem.  He didn't come back to seal the hole until I called the Illinois Attorney General.  I called a third plumber who located the problem in the common area.  He dug a hole so deep they hand to dig a stairway so they could get in and out.  I called a fourth plumber who located the break on a 45 degree angle in the common area.

I contacted All Star Plumbing and Sewer.  Michael found the problem right away.  They dug a hole about 3 feet deep  6 inches from where the second plumber dug his first hole around 2 feet from the end of the clean out.  The pipe actually went straight down.  It kind of makes sense because some units had basements, but the issue is I had about 15 feet of unnecessary pipe and about 3 unnecessary turns.  All Star fixed that design flaw by putting an elbow on the end of the pipe and turning it out.  They verified that there were no tie ins after that point.  I put gallons of water through that pipe to test it.  It works great.

The other thing is All Star is legit.  As part of the due diligence, I checked his license with both Chicago and Illinois on their web site.  He gave me a copy of his insurance certificate.  I even checked his business with the State of Illinois and it's in good standing.  He gave me the permit and dig numbers.  I could see where the utility companies marked the lines.  I was there with the building inspector when he examined the work.  He wouldn't take Bill or my word for anything.  He wanted to see it.  The inspection passed with flying colors.  He was listed as A+ on the Better Business Bureau's web site.  His Yelp reviews were all 5 Star.  I agree All Star Plumbing and Sewer deserves all the stars so I'm giving them another 5 start review.  The icing on the cake is their price is reasonable.

I was very happy with their installation of my Rheem hybrid heat pump water heater. It was kind of complicated and I was having a hard time finding someone to install it. They did it quickly and at a good price. Thanks again.

Rosso did a great job with the shower faucet, replaced a light switch and 4 ceiling lamps for me.

Needed a new sewer pump and they replaced it in less than 30 minutes. Highly recommend. They are very efficient. They answer right away. Good customer service.

We had a great experience working with Joe. He did a big plumbing job for us, adding a bathroom and sump pump in our basement. He was always quick respond to emails and calls. He and his team arrived when they said they would and did great work. We reached our later to address an unrelated leaky pipe. He had an opening and was able to come the next day. From now on we will call Joe first.

Have used A Solutions several times over the years for jetting our sewer line and they have always been very responsive, professional and answered all of our questions.  Highly recommend!

The recent cold snap caused a pipe to blow.  I woke up at 6:00 am on Dec. 27 and found water that was ankle deep throughout the entire basement.  When I called Reeg, they called back within a half hour.  They asked if I had to turn off the water to the entire house.  I answered yes since the leak was behind a wall.  I can imagine how many calls they received throughout that weekend over Christmas weekend for burst pipes.  It was obvious they were doing triage to get to the people who had no water.  Reeg was out that day to stop the leak and at least get the main water back on.  I'm letting the wall and all the rest of the basement dry out, then will call Reeg back to finish the job.  They were great.

Dennis answered my call promptly and was able to come over the next day to help patch my hardwood floors after I scratched them with my drum set's pedal (get a rug, not a mat). Price was reasonable, especially for giving me some piece of mind.

We needed a quick job of capping off some existing plumbing in our new basement, and these guys were awesome. Oscar was extremely responsive and on top of communication. He got one of his plumbers out quickly and worked within our schedule, and the plumber we worked with was professional and knowledgeable. Got the job done in 30 minutes. I highly recommend!

We've used Preferred Plumbing before and always have found them quick to respond with great service. However, after today's encounter with them, I wanted to take time to leave a review. I failed to get the plumber's name, but initials on the invoice are MJ.

Late last night I was cleaning out cabinets and tossing various items into my garbage disposal. Without too much thought, I poured in a half bag of dry black beans. After awhile, the sink stopped draining and I knew I'd made a huge error in judgement. I scooped out a lot of the now chopped black beans in hopes that would do the trick. Also suctioned out all of the extra water in the sink, and tried a plunger ... all fails! Fessed up to my husband who called Preferred Plumbing.

I was NOT looking forward to facing the plumber with my confession. One other time, I'd stopped up the disposal with flower stems (thinking they were like vegetables) and had gotten a friendly lecture from the plumber (not from PP). However M. J. could not have been nicer or more professional. Never once did he reprimand my error in judgement. He was pleasant while he took apart the drain (which was totally clogged with now hardened black bean pieces). When I apologized again he jokingly said that he'd heard that garbage disposals are a plumber's best friend and that I was not alone in all of this. He was friendly, efficient, cleaned up everything and when I offered him a tip for his positive attitude, he tried to refuse it. It was truly a pleasure working with him. He made a very positive impression on me (and I'll try not to dispose of other items just to see him in the future!).

Dominick is the best. He was able to see me same day, fixed the issue quickly, and was incredibly nice. I will absolutely call him again if I have any plumbing issues.

They always come to help my business! They do an amazing job, they are so honest and come quickly when I need someone last minute. I would highly recommend them to any business looking for an honest quick fix to your plumbing problems! Thank you Red Hot Plumbing!

This company offers great service! It's hard to find a good company and good prices. This is the place if you need this type of service!!

He  responded quickly. Gave great  advice on solving my tub drainage issues. I highly recommended them.

Don't let the nice lady who answers the phone fool you. These guys will not do the job and will steal your money. They came out 3 times in 1 month and never once did what I asked and I'm a professional. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Crew showed up on time, were fast and thorough ! Project came in under bid and everyone from the office help on the phone to the techs that did the job were outstanding. We're customers for life now! 5 Stars!

Right away plumbing and hvac are the best,  I have used them few times for my clogged toilet and heating they are the best fast, clean and very professiona I highly recommend them.
Thank you

Flawless work!
  I needed a kitchen sink, dishwasher, and fridge all hooked up as well as some old waterlines replaced. Joe and Lucas came out and did a great job. Everything was left clean, no leaking, no mess, and a fair price for a perfect job. These guys are professional, on time, communicative, and handled everything above and beyond expectations. Most importantly: The wife was happy to see everything finished up. Great job on the whole install. Five stars all around. Having dealt with garbage plumbers in the past who only care about the money and getting out, definitely call SZABO when you need any plumbing handled. Honesty, knowledge, and professionalism go a long way and it shows in the level of work from start to finish.

Update!  When the backflow valve was installed, I put a camera in my front window to document the whole process.  When the owner learned of this, he asked if he could have a copy of the video for his own marketing purposes.  I said sure, even made a time-lapse of the footage for him.  He said he'd give me a free cleanout (annual maintenance) in exchange.

Well the time came to schedule the annual cleanout, and despite my previous issues with 4S Plumbing, I figured I may as well cash in on that free cleanout.  I contacted 4S and scheduled the work, and the guy who came out was a contractor who had his own processes and knew nothing about the deal I had with 4S.  He gave me an invoice, I wrote him a check, and hoped the owner would honor his word.

I even texted him about it.  He said he never got the footage.  So I resent him the link, again hoping he'd figure out how to download it and...honor his word.

Well you can probably guess where this is going...sure enough, that check got deposited, and no further word from 4S about my alleged free cleanout.

This company is trash.  Avoid at all costs.
