Best Businesses in Illinois

The water heater at my rental property failed and my tenants woke up to cold water and water pouring from the tank.  I took a chance with All-Star based on reviews and am extremely pleased with their performance.  They gave me an honest quote and then a discount for replacing the second identical water heater that was also at the end of it's service life.  Vinnie was a complete professional and had the new units installed and running so the hot water was back by the time everyone came home from work.  I've had mixed experiences finding honest, quality contractors in Chicago, so it's a relief to know there's a plumbing company out there I can trust.  I highly recommend them.

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.

As someone new to the area in need of a plumber, I did what I normally do when looking for information - I turned to Yelp. Great reviews always get my attention and Moody had them. So I called and left a message. Joe was quick to respond, had me take a few photos of the plumbing under the kitchen sink and email them so he could give me a quote for the garbage disposal installation.

He responded with an estimate that was significantly lower than another I had received, and we got it scheduled. Martin showed up at 7:30 AM, right on time, put his shoe covers on and got right to work. He was pleasant, efficient, and made sure everything was working properly and without leaks. And when he finished he gave me the invoice and it was $100 less than the estimate! When does that ever happen? That's the way to earn repeat business! I'll certainly keep Moody Plumbing in my approved contractors file.

This company is awesome. Trent responded to late night Yelp messages instantly, estimated a great price and had Trinidad Rivera at my door at 9am as promised. Trinidad was in & out in 10 minutes while fixing the problem. Trent & Trinidad are both very nice in addition to the great service performed. Would absolutely use them again and recommend this company.

I had the opportunity again to use Reeg Plumbing. I wanted to replace my old water heater. Chris called back within minutes to give me a quote and I hired his company again without hesitation. The plumbers at Reeg Plumbing have always been professional and courteous. The work they do is outstanding, efficient, clean and the job is always done the right way the first time. I will never use another  company for my plumbing needs ever. Thanks again to all the employees at Reeg Plumbing.

I have a condo that needed to get rent ready for the next tenant. It needed quite a bit of work. He managed it beautifully. Identified some things that I was not aware of that were of concern. Easy to communicate with and on point with the work.

Fixed our sink. Very reasonable price. They were delayed in arriving. They left to get the needed part, came back & fixed the problem. They even cleaned drain at no extra charge. Will use them again.

Our shower had a steady leak. I called Michael and left a message. He returned my call quickly, asked me detailed questions to suss out the problem, and gave me a fair price for the repair.
Miguel called me the next morning and came over immediately to fix the leak.
He was very professional.
I definitely recommend this business, and plan to use them again for future fixes.

My wife and I own a duplex condo where the lower level is below street level.  We had been experiencing a sewage smell which had been worsening over time.  The smell was emanating from what I thought was a sump pump, so I searched on Google for a plumber who could assist with this issue and found Dominick.

Dominick was fantastic.  When I first called, he answered the phone and asked me to send him some photos of the sump pump so that he could diagnose the issue.  Dominick immediately informed me that I had a sewage pump, not a sump pump.  Also, someone who apparently was not a plumber had installed a backup sump pump, instead of a backup sewage pump, which was completely improper and was causing some of the problems.

Dominick quoted me a price to come over and replace the pump with a new sewage pump.  He was very thorough and spent about 7 hours removing the old pumps and installing a new sewage pump. He also replaced some PVC piping which had been incorrectly installed.  He sealed the piping and the metal cover over the sump pit.  Dominick additionally replaced a valve in the piping which had been loudly slamming shut every time the sewage pump expelled wastewater; he installed a type of dampener which eliminated the slamming sound.

I am very pleased with Dominick's work as the sewage smell is completely gone and the new sewage pump has been working well.  I would definitely hire him again, particularly for complex projects.

We had a leak and these guys were so immediately responsive and communicative and they were able to fix our issue so quickly. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again!

A-1 Patrick's Plumbing & Sewer is a company I recommend. I actually had the pleasure of working directly with the owner, Patrick. Patrick is young but he is very knowledgeable about plumbing and sewer issues. I had Patrick and his crew out to remedy a major plumbing issue that left my basement flooded that another plumbing company had left me high and dry with. Patrick scheduled my appointment right away within his schedule. He kept me updated with any schedule delays and he with another worker arrived on the day scheduled and they worked on unclogging my aged catch basin. They worked for hours first to rod the line and then to jet rod when the routine rodding didn't relieve the clog. Patrick assessed the condition of the basin while working and we found that a previous company left or may have accidentally dropped their latex gloves in the catch basin and along with its aged walls crumbling they clogged the line. Patrick got the line clear and he also unclogged a basement bathroom sink for me. He explained that the remedied catch basin clog removal may stay open for a few months or years but recommended that I plan to get the basin rebuilt. He gave me an estimate on the spot and we got the estimate in October or November of 2018 that he wrote was good for a few months to prepare and budget for to have the work done later. Also, Patrick explained to me that for work like that I would be paying for my materials which was the bricks and he explained when it was the best time to get them during the down time of the season to secure lower prices on them. I ended up taking Patrick's bid/estimate and got the new catch basin put in the following spring. I opted for the new basin over rebuild because I was getting the aged basin removed and new materials with warranty on the work that lasted a bit longer than just a rebuild. Patrick scheduled the date for the work and they arrived as promised and the work was done in 2-3 days. And we've had no more clogged catch basin and when we last had a heavy rain out basement was dry while our neighbor's basements where flooding. I don't know if the new catch basin or the check valve I have made the difference but it was comforting knowing my basement wasn't flooding. It cost me about $5k for the new catch basin. About $650 for the jet rodding before we got the new catch basin. I recommend A-1Patrick. And they travel all over Chicago.

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

We just had the best experience with a plumbing emergency. We had water back-up into our basement. Andrew was very professional, knowledgeable, fast and very nice. For our plumbing needs in the future we will go to DiFoggio & Sam Plumbing.

They fixed an issue with a rocking toilet and identified an issue before it became worse. I appreciate Gabriel's candidness and helpfulness.

We've found our forever plumber!

Woke up to our sump pump running continuously and producing a really strong electrical smell from the pit.  Unplugged it immediately and first called a different plumbing service that was recommended by a local Facebook group.... That other plumber's answering service said they would have a plumber call me back. I got tired of waiting for them after a while, so I called Right Away who was able to actually dispatch someone *right away* and Jorge arrived within the hour.

He replaced the dead sump, did a check of our entire system and found a related issue, fixed that, and also installed some other parts throughout the house to help keep things flowing smoothly. All of the work was done fast (but not in a way where I felt like he rushed) and for a cost less than an earlier quote I had for just a sump replacement without diagnostic or preventive work.

Jorge happily described all of the work he was doing and showed a real passion for his work and pride of a job well done.

Friendly, patient, passionate, reasonable prices, and no extra charge for working on Saturday!  With overwhelming many options for plumbers in Chicago, I'm glad to have landed on someone I can trust.

We needed to get a toilet installed over the weekend and our usual plumber wasn't available on short notice so I called Kevin Szabo's plumbing and they were able to bring someone out the next day. I remember seeing a sponsored videos on Facebook of the owner eating at local south burbs restaurants lol

They were scheduled to come in later in the day but the plumbers called us ahead of time to try to come in earlier which I was totally OK with me. I'm just glad they communicated with us a couple of times instead of just showing up.

The plumbers were very respectful of our home, worked quickly and got our toilet installed. They even took down our old toilet which was nice of them since we live on the third floor.

I still like my usual plumber but if there's any short notice jobs that need to be done, I would totally call Kevin Szabo again.

**This review is for the service I received from Peter.**

The sink and garbage disposal in our kitchen have been clogging up for the past week or so. I turned to yelp for plumbing suggestions and saw that this company was highly recommended.

When Peter arrived, he diagnosed the problem and accurately determined that the issue was not within our condo but was with lines in the building. He advised me to check in with the condo association for them to fix it.

This is noteworthy because he was not just trying to get paid, but to actually help fix the problem.  When you call plumbers and similar companies, it's usually because you do not know how to resolve the issue on your own and need someone to give good advice.  

Some people take advantage of the fact that you don't know how to fix whatever issue and they try to convince you to do work that you don't actually need.  Not Peter -- he was very honest and like I said, gave accurate advice even though that would have meant not getting paid.  I appreciate people with integrity and would definitely work with Peter again.
