Best Businesses in Illinois
1925 Bungalow Blues, verse 27.
We had all the faucets set to fast drip...except for the kitchen sink, which is right against the outside wall. So, no running water in the kitch this morning. Hey, we got these space heaters! One under the sink, one in the basement, what could possibly go wrong?
(fast forward a few hours)
Hey, the faucet is starting to drip just a bit! Hooray! But, what's that strange sound coming from the basement?
(cut to basement shot)
Why, it's the Bellagio fountains! Beautiful! Hot steamy water just pouring down the wall. Picturesque in its own horribly messy way. Quick! move all the laundry stuff, drag the junky rug out of the way. How to stop the water? Who were the plumbers we used before?
Yelp to the rescue! I just started speed dialing thru the list, leaving messages, texts, asking for a plumber TODAY. My wife comes home after braving the weather to perform her canine mobility and support work in the sub-zero arctic conditions. Oh great!
We BOTH start calling every plumbing number we can find.
About an hour into the telethon, I get a call back!
(angelic choir singing Hosanna!)
I'm sending my guy Vinny. He'll be there in an hour.
(slightly over an hour later)
Vinny and his buddy Henry made it here and fixed not 1, not 2, but THREE burst pipes. It's a temp fix, and they're coming back on Saturday to make it all nice and spiffy again.
THANK YOU ALL STAR PLUMBING!

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.

Joe came out to fix a ruptured pipe in my wall. He was quick to respond and instantly knew how to tackle the problem. He was extremely quick and explained everything he was doing in detail. His price was more than fair. Great experience. Highly recommend!
4746 N London Ave Chicago, IL 60630
Very responsive and reliable. A pipe bursted. Multiple plumbers either never called us back or confirmed an appointment and then never show up. Trent and Mr Rivera were fast and efficient. They came out in the middle of the night. They made the process so easy and got it fixed in no time. I would definitely use them again for any plumbing needs.
Thank you guys for saving us !

Had a clogged outside drain in basement stairwell. Decided to try out Reeg Plumbing, and set an appointment. They got here early and took care of the problem quickly. Very happy. Will try them again in the future.

Dennis showed up on time and did a great job of reattaching my kitchen sink to the granite counter-top at a reasonable cost. He also replaced some of the older rusted pipes with new ones that he ran out to buy to complete the job. He was pleasant to work with and I will use him again when I have the need.

Oscar and his crew did an amazing job fixing up my broken pipes. We thought that we had only one remaining broken pipe (out of two known) that needed to be fixed.
Well, after Oscar repaired the first pipe, we discovered there was another pipe that in the same area that broken as well. Furthermore, when we turned on the water for testing, there was ANOTHER broken pipe in my ceiling, even though that pipe should have been fixed by the previous plumbers last summer. He and his crew didn't hesitate - they immediately ripped out the drywall and found / fixed the last remaining broken pipe.
He was hired to fix one pipe, ended up fixing three(!) AND replace my outdoor faucet! He recommended that I blow out the remaining water in my pipes with compressed air every winter, and offered to swing by that following Saturday to take care of it. Incredible service!
It's incredibly hard to find honest, hard-working, and fair priced contractors, especially plumbers - Oscar is one of them. I highly recommend him.

I had a few items that needed attention. Calling a plumber is never something one wants to do, but if you call this service, you can rest easy. They do quality work and very reasonable rates. He came on time, he did the work in a timely manner, and he was receptive to any questions. We even had an extra issue that needed attention, and he did that too and charged a discounted rate because he was already in the house.

So, this review isn't so much for the job that was done, because I ended up getting scheduled with my building's maintenance man instead, but I felt compelled to leave a comment on the customer service alone. I was mid-anxiety attack when I called Dominic about my leaky toilet and though he was unable to fit me in on that same day, he had me send him a picture of what I was looking at and then talked me through how to temporarily stop the leak. Which temporarily stopped my anxiety. And probably saved my floor and the ceiling of the person below me. For that alone, much gratitude!
Edited to add: and then came the plot twist: Dominick IS in fact my building's plumber!
*cue shocked music*
So now I can speak on his service, which was quick and thorough. With great personality to boot! Aside from that time I spent almost 12 hours on 5-hour train ride (don't ask), I've never been so happy to see my toilet. All is well once again!

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!

Patrick is awesome! He helped us with a big sewer issue last spring and, today, just fixed a bad blockage in our basement. He's prompt, reliable, and gives you the straight scoop in terms of your options. We've given his name to several friends and will use him again!
6035 S California Ave Chicago Lawn, IL 60629
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.

Over the years, I've come to only use Anderson Plumbing for my plumbing needs. They're quick to respond, have great staff from the office to the service people and do good work.
We recently had a major leak at my mom's house and the only company to call was Andersen. I can't say enough positive things about Mario, who has done numerous jobs for us, both at our home and at our rental properties. Like always, he gets the job done, is friendly & respectful and is one of my favorites.
I highly recommend this company for any of your plumbing needs. They also do HVAC work.

We wont ever use them again.
2/18 - confirmed gas leak in basement with workers in home, called plumber (Right Away Plumbing, Heating and Cooling) to diagnose and fix. They were having trouble with finding the leaks using their tools and said they found a leak where I couldn't smell anything. Trusting their expertise, we agreed to a repair.
2/18 - paid for diagnostic and repair work from plumber
2/19 - wasn't in basement to smell anything no work was done that day on our Reno
2/20 - Called people's gas to come out because I could still smell gas. Gentlemen came and found leak by old valve and water heater, was able to make a few adjustments to temporarily stop leak and did diagnostics again and found no issue.
I called right away plumber to let them know their equipment was problematic and request a refund on the diagnostic work they weren't able to do. In my opinion, it isn't safe to state you can clearly diagnose and repair a gas leak if you are not able to diagnose it. The person I spoke with (the man who did the repair and who I was speaking with on the phone) screamed at me that the gas company should have cut off my gas so Right Away plumbing could do the job. He said he was going to try to get the guy who fixed the issue for us from people's gas fired. Said he would send some money back though after I made it clear I would be escalating this as I felt this is a very unsafe way to do business.
I called 3/11/2020 because we had not received money back for the diagnostic work. I let him know we have a document from the gas company with what work they diagnose and fixed for us. Plumber again was very combative and laughed and said he was waiting on a lawyer (not sure why???) and he didn't care who I complain to about the problem with his service.
We have a baby and live above where the gas leaks were. I can't believe this company's reactions or response to their error that could have left us in a dangerous position. To this date we have not received the full refund for the diagnostic work that was unable to be completed, or safely.

I have been dealing with 4S plumbing for few years, every time they provide excellent service that make me come back.
Two days ago we had problem with bathtub faucet leaking issue, I called 4S, they sent great plumber, Marcus, he is so professional and very nice guy, he diagnosed the issue and fixed it quickly with very competitive price.
Definitely will keep working with 4S plumbing and I believe they are providing the best plumbing service in Chicago.
