Best Plumbing Services in Chicago, IL

Friendly, fast and very knowledgeable.  We needed a handyman to come and re-attach our stove hood that fell off the wall the previous night.  Andrew was here the next morning and fixed it better than before.  Would definitely use him again.

Kevin was a pleasure to work with. We had some damage to our kitchen and bathroom from a leaky pipe and had Kevin out to do the repairs.  I couldnt be happier with the work he did.  He was knowlegable, friendly and got the job done.  He worked with my schedule to get the drywall and bathroom tiles replaced quickly even with the Thanksgiving holiday mixed in there.
He was able to come out to our house and give us an estimate and tell us exactly what he was going to do, how long it would take, and how much it would cost.  He finished the work within the time and budget quoted. Our kitchen and bathroom look like there was never any damage to begin with.  
I would definately recommend Kevin and will use him in the future for all our home improvements and repairs.

Adam diagnosed the problem quickly and easily. He's confident and knows his stuff.  He found and fixed the most obvious issue economically and quickly (obvious to him, not to us!). Sometimes, with plumbing, the hardest part of the problem is figuring out the cause of the problem.  Fixing it is the easy part, comparably. It's too early to tell if what he found is the only issue--there may be a deeper (as in, under the concrete) problem too.  But more than likely, what he found is exactly what was causing our soil stack to leak.

So the pilot light went out on my hot water heater.
It's happened before and I was able to start it after trying a number of times.
This time I could see that there was no flash to light the burner.
Otherwise, the tank looks great and had no other problems that I know about.
I knew that this water heater could be repaired, which is why I had problems finding a plumber to fix it.
I have learned that many plumbing contractors really don't want to repair your water heater even though they advertise that they do.
I had several plumbers out to see the water heater and both told me, without even touching the water heater, that
a.   the unit was over 8 years old; and
b.   it could not be repairs; or
b.   the gas valve was broken and repairs would be between $ 500 and $ 600.
Also, I thought the unit was younger, but I never looked it up as I believed what I was told.
Bottom line, I believe many plumbers really don't want to do small jobs but would rather sell you a new unit.
Then, I call InSink Plumbers out of Carol Stream, Illinois,
owned by Sr. and Junior, the son, who came to my house.
Here's what he told me:
a.    Yes I like to make repairs to water heaters.
b.    No your hot water heater is under six years old.
c.    Yes the warranty for parts expires in November of 2018.
d.    No the gas valve is not broken.
e.    Yes the water heater looks good and could/should last for several more years; and
f.     No you don't need a new water heater because I can repair it right now.
30 minutes later he gets it started and charged me 1/4 to 1/5 the cost of a new unit.
InSink, remember that name.  Old school honest plumbers.

Loved guy showed up in a mask. He was polite, efficient and prompt. I plan to have him do some work for me after the thanksgiving holiday.

Just used them for the first time, and very happy. Price is very reasonable and they took time to answer my question - even the ones that didn't pertain to the problem they were currently working on!
Will call again

I have used these guys for years and they are terrific! They helped with the work associated with our addition several years ago and then we have used them for a variety of plumbing needs since.

They are very knowledgeable, fair, and they get the job done in the time they say they will. I absolutely trust the work they do.

Called  Central 9/29 for a rusted out drain between the walls.  Chris came out on the 27th to look it over and Chris and Tom were there on the 28th fixing it. It wasn't easy being in the wall, they removed my dishwasher and broke open the wall so it was a tight squeeze.  Had a little issue with reinstalling the dishwasher, but after a few visits and going in a different direction, all went well.    All I can say is don't think twice about this company,

Go For IT!!!!!!

I want the world to know that the guys at Pittman Plumbing and Sewer are my heroes.

I discovered a large puddle of water in my yard. Initially, i thought it was a leak from the lawn sprinkler system.  We dug up the area and found it was coming from a break in the sewer.

Immediately, i called several companies to get estimates for repair.  I most say, because this was an emergency repair, time for a fix was crucial. The trades men called were all known to me, so I was more trusting of their ability and the quotes than if they had been unknown.  

Thank God that I followed my cardinal rule of getting three quotes.  I would say, in emergencies it is MOST important because you are most vulnerable to pay any price quoted.  Able Sewers was the largest paniic seller with a price gouging total that they were UNWILLING ti negotiate.  

Thank God for Pittman Plumbing. They responded quickly, gave me their NON PANIC price and made the repair, upgraded my sewer service, cleaned up the area, leaving the ground smooth and undisturbed.

PITTMAN PLUMBERS AND SEWER are defitely my heroes.  Their price and

After this weeks thaw we experienced some seepage, combine that with a sewer that was blocked with tree roots, leading to 3 inches standing water in the basement.  Simon came in the same day to bail us out.  Todd and Josh were in and out in about 30 minutes, with no water left. They were courteous and professional.  
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for honesty and pride in workmanship.

Scheduling was not fun. I had to be rescheduled without explanation the first time. The second time, they came five hours earlier than their service window. I work from home so I was around to let them in, but it was disruptive to my work and I had to reschedule meetings. Some people think their schedule is more important than other people's and that's not cool.

Service, once it happened, was quick and friendly and got the job done. Price was good too - no complaints there. However, it was awkward that they didn't have a way to take a credit card other than just writing down your credit card details and hope none of your information gets stolen.

Tim, Pat, Rob, Dan...whoever shows up knows what to do and will give you a fair price. It's a family-owned business and they do big jobs and small jobs. We've had them come out for weird problems and typical problems. They trouble-shoot and do it right, and then explain what they did and why. I have recommended them to my mom, my in-laws, etc. Kennedy Sewer is a great company and they come out quickly, whether an emergency or not. Highly recommended!!!!!

We have used Walsh and Son Sewer for a number of issues and have never been disappointed.  They are  punctual, clean and professional.  I've never had to call back for additional service on an issue.  I would use them again and again.

I don't like bog box stores. Roaming the aisles for hours trying to find the one employee that is both present and in possession of a brain. I like finding the good supply houses and dealing with them. My last job was a replacement of an ejector pump at my dad's house. Not a rosey job by any stretch of the imagination, but it's the sort of thing that is nice when you get it done. When I walked into Harlem Plumbing I made it clear. I don't want lousy china crap that breaks in three days. The folks behind the counter knew precisely what I was talking about. They did a fantastic job. I had my list, I knew what I needed, I knew the calculations, head loss, applicable codes....but they were ready to help and had some great advice and stories. In modern times, the word expert is now exclusively used to describe talking idiots on TV, I must say that the folks at harlem plumbing are master tradesmen (and women?). They also have a good throughflow of top notch local plumbers. There was nothing intimidating or condescending about the interaction. the folks were prompt, professional, friendly. Where the smart one at the big box store watches a 30 minute youtube video as training, these folks had been in the trade all of their lives. I left absolutely certain that I had the right stuff and the job would be done right. I can't say that for the happy, shiny, lucky, golden store brands at the big box stores. That experience is more along the lines of god, I hope this crap works. Harlem Plumbing is a solid local supply house with great people. I can't say it enough. Rock on Harlem Plumbing! Please don't stop or sell out to the corporate pukes. The service you provide is much needed and appreciated.

He was responsive but was going back and forth with the numbers. We didn't have a good experience with this business. We paid for the service to show up but didn't use him for further repair. I would highly suggest to go with other plumber.

Love these guys! Prompt, clean, and really know their stuff. He indulged all of my questions, and gave some great advice.

My family has a couple of old brick buildings , we been doing business with South Chicago  Plumbing , since 1976. Great knowledge, very friendly, and most of all a great inventory of parts and supply for older buildings . They have the parts and supply that you cannot find any where around Chicago.  They recommend other shops if they don't have the parts. Now that's true business !!!
