Best Businesses in Illinois

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.

Great job, very responsive and professional. I had a small punch list of repairs, all taken care of easily!

Reliable, respectful, knowledgeable, prompt and trustworthy. Thank you! Will call again for any future needs!

Moved into a new house 2 years ago and have nothing but good things to say about these guys. They updated my water lines, re-routed drains during a kitchen remodel, and even suggested better ways to save me money when reviewing the scope of work. They do great work and will do their best to get what you want. Legit would not go to any other plumber so long as these guys are in business.

Highly recommend A Solution Sewer & Plumbing needs. They are very professional, knowledgeable about their craft, respectful of your property reliable and cost efficient.   Toilet flooded water everywhere- A solution Sewer & Plumbing came and took care of my issue immediately. I

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.

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.

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!

Called about our clogged up kitchen sink. Miguel came out and did an outstanding service job! He got the job done, cleaned up when he was done and was so friendly!Definately recommend Prefferred Plumbing!

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.

Great guys, provided a fair assessment, were thorough.

We had Patrick and his guys do a major concrete, trench drain replacement job for our condo association.  Patrick was able to secure premium materials at an excellent price and get the job done under budget.

In my experience the worst part about working with contractors is reliable estimates and timeliness. Patrick showed up when he said he would, he got the job done in the time he said he would, and he did it all under budget.

The work he and his crew did is perfect and we couldn't be happier.

We will all be recommending these guys as our primary sewer and plumbing resource from now on.

Thanks again, guys!

Great work! Very responsive! Came and fixed leaking water pipes at an affordable rate. Would definitely recommend

I recommend this company for ease of scheduling,  reasonable fees and efficient service.  Anthony was on time, clean, polite and efficient. We couldn't replicate a leak I was chasing, but he went over & above in fixing a sink problem not in the original request.

Highly recommend Andersen.  Guys were very professional, in addition to replacing my old water heaters, they corrected incorrect plumbing another company installed before we purchased the house.  Cleaned everything up as well.  Would definitely use them again.

Called to request quote. Called again the next day to confirm quote after technician gave me outrageous quote below. Both times confirmed that it should've been less than half of what was told on site.

Guy goes on-site to unclog sink, and charges $400. And then toilet valve rebalance for $340 but discounted at $197. Total costs over $600 because of credit card fees.

These guys must be rich unclogging sinks and rebalancing the valve handle for this much. Taking less than an hour. I am remote from my property and wanted to get it over with. Hard pill to swallow.

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.

Excellent service and honest dealing, going well beyond expectations.

We stumbled on to 4S Plumbing unwittingly through a referral from another plumber that wasn't able to help us. It was a happy accident though. Our plumber Tim was not only professional but an all-around nice guy who was happy to answer questions and look at other plumbing and leak issues around the house.

Tim had come to replace a kitchen faucet, but by the end of the visit our jammed garbage disposal was working and our previously useless upstairs bath had water pressure. Except for the faucet, these were all relatively simple fixes that a less scrupulous plumber could have easily have used to run up the bill. At the end of the day, half of our household maintenance list was checked off, and our bill was less than $400.

As for the backend, Bill responded immediately to our call, scheduling Tim's visit within a few hours. Billing was prompt, and all labor and parts charges were clearly delineated in an email receipt, which we were able to pay online.

In short, 4S is prompt, professional, modern and above all incredibly honest.

Tim, thanks to you, my spouse will be able to take her first hot bath since we moved in.
