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.

Could not be any happier with the experience that we had with Mo! We just bought a home and had a number of projects that we needed completed, and Mo was on time for the appointment and had all of the tools necessary for everything needed. He also wore his mask the entire time, was thorough, professional, and one of the nicest people we've met!

We had a really hard time finding someone to come out and help with the projects in our new home (new toilet installation, switching out the washer and drier, caulking several areas, and fixing a few minor issues). Larger companies rescheduled on us twice, so we decided to go with Mo and I'm extremely happy with did.

You will be too!

We had a bad situation in our crawlspace with water escaping from a blown check valve. A&T came out within the hour to stop the water and replace the sump pump that was old. The line was also rodded out. The work was done timely, efficiently and professionally. We are happy with the service and highly recommend to others. Also, the company is very knowledgeable in mold and offers corrective remediation solutions.

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.

I had reached out to A Solution Sewer & Plumbing Inc. for a plumbing issue that I was having. I had found their business information on the BBB website. I highly recommend this company for any major plumbing repairs. When the plumbers come out to assess the damages, they will have all of their equipment with them. The plumbers that work for this company have good customer service. They are honest, straight to the point, and they listen to the customer. Also, I had used this company as my second opinion company to assess the damages.

The Problem: My main home sewer line was breached and damaged by some shrubs in my front yard. My shrubs' roots were clogging my main sewer, causing my sewer water to come back into my basement. The plumbers told me that I needed to have a portion of my sewer line replace to fix the clogging issue in my front yard.

The Solution: This company had to perform an excavation in my front yard to repair the sewer line. Their treatment plan was to replace the damaged part of the sewer line. Included with the treatment, they had installed an outside cleanout valve to the main sewer line and removed and destroyed the shrubs and their roots in the yard that was damaging my sewer line. This company also coordinated with the City of Chicago by pulling city permits to perform the excavation.

Post Repair: As for my home sewer line, everything is working fine with no problems. This job took two days to repair. The first day was to unclog the line and triage the line to use my plumbing. The second day was to finish off the repair and coordinate the certification of proper sewer line replacement by the City of Chicago.

Scott came out to fix a leaky kitchen faucet. He was very pleasant, got right to work and gave me some great tips on Moen's lifetime guarantee on parts, which it turned out I didn't need. He was here and done in about 10 minutes and refused to charge me. I am a new, but now loyal, customer!! Thank you so much!

Responsive, attentive, communicates well. Did good work. I've done repeat business with him.

I made a request on Yelp for quotes, they responded within minutes and we're here the same day to fix my drain. The estimate was accurate and they had everything fixed in less than half an hour. Highly recommend them! Very friendly and professional A+++

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.

I just had Dominic come out for the 3rd time. This time it was for a precautionary measure. Dominic is the most honest plumber I know. We ran several tests and told me that everything looked and seemed normal.  

I would recommend Dominic to anyone. He is reliable, hard working, really makes sure you understand the problem and beyond fair with pricing.

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!

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!

Noe was great! He was able to work with me in advance. By having me send him photos, to arrive prepared with all parts to repair my sink & faucet. He completed the work & exceeded expectations.

I called for a simple job at 11AM on a weekday. They secretary stated they can come out immediately but they are charging overtime, you know time and a half. Would you still like our service. NO Ma'am. SCAM! SCUM! RIPOFF! STAY AWAY!

We had a leak and the issue was resolved quickly and at a fair price. The guys that came out to do the service were personable as well. We will use this Company again in the future.
PS - The game was Elder Scrolls Online not Elden Ring if you guys should happen to read this. ;)

Called to get quote for installing 2 tubs and 2 water closets.     The job was to install a regular tub not a jacuzzi and the toilets are the same floor mounted toilets we all have in our homes.  The guy tells me he needs to see the new and existing tubs and the toilets.  Right away he started by telling me the drains may be different.   Apparently,  he's used to people thinking there must be something extraordinarily different in your regular homedepot.  With that I can tell he's a high priced scammer.  I'm an architect and deal with contractors all day long.  Don't use this guy.

Kennedy Plumbing was even worse.  Danny replaced two toilets.  He assumed that because I am elderly and disabled, I would not notice that he switched the fifty dollar seats that came with the toilets with $15 seats that don't even fit.  What is it about plumbers that they want to rip off the disabled and why did Szabo and Kennedy both think I was so stupid?  Not that it matters, but I'm a college professor with a PhD from Notre Dame.  I am appalled thinking how often these rip-off artists must succeed.

I've lived in many houses & have  had to deal with many plumbers. This particular company however is quite unique &special.Not only are they fairly priced, flexible, & reliable;they are incredibly We'll managed. What I mean by this is that the owner of the company often deals with you personally. You don't have to go through layers of people to get some  thing done. Bill the owner, Actually Calls customers back himself He is very responsive and available.If you have a problem during the day you can text him and he'll get back to you. If it's after hours & you have anything from a plumbing crisis to an EXTRA You've requested you can usually find him working late at the office taking care of details .He has  diligent employees from the skilled workers to the support staff reflecting what the company  prioritizes from the top down..You'll  often be dealing with Bill rather than  him being called in if something goes awry He's truly caring and very hands-on which only servers  to make his customers feel
Highly valued as they are!
