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.

Rosso did a great job with the shower faucet, replaced a light switch and 4 ceiling lamps for me.

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

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!

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 !

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.

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

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!

Excellent service, fast response time, accurate and
reasonable rates. What more do you want in a Plumber?

A mason jar was lodged in our garbage disposal, and in trying to get the garbage disposal off myself, was not able to reinstall it.

I called Dominick who said he could come out in a 1-hour timeframe, but would have to rely on my tools to get the job done.

Dominick arrived and took care of reinstalling our garbage disposal and also clearing out the mason jar glass that had shattered within it. He was incredibly quick and efficient with his work, completing the job in less than 45 minutes and having done the reinstallation with the limited tools that I had.

I will definitely be calling Dominick the next time I need any type of plumbing done, and cannot recommend him enough.

Great guys, provided a fair assessment, were thorough.

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!

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

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!

Crew showed up on time, were fast and thorough ! Project came in under bid and everyone from the office help on the phone to the techs that did the job were outstanding. We're customers for life now! 5 Stars!

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.

Flawless work!
  I needed a kitchen sink, dishwasher, and fridge all hooked up as well as some old waterlines replaced. Joe and Lucas came out and did a great job. Everything was left clean, no leaking, no mess, and a fair price for a perfect job. These guys are professional, on time, communicative, and handled everything above and beyond expectations. Most importantly: The wife was happy to see everything finished up. Great job on the whole install. Five stars all around. Having dealt with garbage plumbers in the past who only care about the money and getting out, definitely call SZABO when you need any plumbing handled. Honesty, knowledge, and professionalism go a long way and it shows in the level of work from start to finish.

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.
