Best Businesses in Illinois

Mr. Burris is professional, informative and knows his business. In addition to addressing the problem that I called him for (low pressure in my multi-unit building), the things that he taught me about regular maintaining my plumbing and things I can do to prevent problems, made his reasonable service fee more than worth it.

I had an outstanding experience with Jerry's Pump Service today when they installed my new sump pump. They were the very best that they could be about everything. Punctual, friendly, experts at what they do. You name it. I'll definitely be using them again when I need any plumbing done, and I highly recommend them to one and all.

Martin is an excellent handyman and a reminder of why it's best to leave it to the professionals.

I had several pending home projects, and he completed them quickly and accurately. He even offered suggestions on where certain items should be placed.

I highly recommend this company for any home projects.

The bots and text messages are a coverup for a lack of communication and customer service.

We made an appointment with Fixer during a weekday, for which my wife stayed home from work. 15 minutes after the time they were scheduled to arrive, we received a text saying that they wouldn't be able to keep the appointment, asking us to reschedule and offering a $50 discount. My wife makes well over $50 a day!! This bad news was sent via text and after I responded and prompted a reply, we heard no more from them.

The $50 discount would've been easily absorbed by the Fixer's exorbitant fees. I'm leery of a home repair company that can't even honor their own appointment schedule. I understand that things happen, but at least take full responsibility and go above and beyond to remedy your mistake.

I just want to give another shout out to Konstantin and his team. We have had more plumbing issues than expected in our home since we bought it 1 1/2 years ago and he is now on speed dial for us. He always responds immediately and makes himself available as soon as possible. I truly cannot recommend his company enough. Incredibly professional and worth every penny.

We had a major problem with our toilet and we called a neighborhood plumber who charged us $275.00 to literally come and do nothing . Problem still existed . We called Ace Drain and Sewer Experts and actually spoke to the owner directly Mr. Vega. He assessed the situation over the phone and came out right away with his crew. He was actually there for over an hour and needed more parts which he himself went and retrieved them. It was a big job but they got it done and everything is back to normal. They were punctual, courteous and definitely knowledgeable of plumbing industry. There manners and professionalism was impeccable. As long as I am a property owner I will always use there service in the future . I implore my friends and family to do the same. Thanks Mr. Vega for a job well done and your courtesy of the working class.

Awesome! I called on a Sunday morning for a running toilet. Turns out my flapper was bad, along with a few other things. George and Frank came out quickly (called at 8:30am, arrived at 1pm), and they took less than 30 minutes to complete. The whole operation is flawless. Highly recommended!!!

We had a very minor leak underneath our sink. Called Thompson as we had used them in the past. They came out and diagnosed the leak as a faulty garbage disposal and recommended a new one at a cost of $500. I agreed and arranged for them to come back. Due to a tragedy in my family, I had to wait six weeks before having them come back out. During that time, the leaking garbage disposal barely leaked any water. When they arrived to install the new disposal which they had recommended, they said I'd have to have the electrical line extended to reach this new $500 garbage disposal and I needed to contract an electrician at an additional cost. I asked them to just put my current disposal back in and I'd deal with the minor leak. They did so and now the leak is much worse and their only solution is to tell me to just do without a disposal or go ahead with their $500 disposal and another couple hundred or more for electrical work. I feel completely misled and cheated, during a very difficult time.

What a great experience! I had convinced myself that the sewer line was blocked by roots. Tyler was here at the expected time. 1 1/2 hours later my toilet was flushing without over flowing. I was given a price before he started working. Since all it was just getting the clean out open and getting the blockage out, that price was right and far less than I thought. And if you check Yelp, there are NO bad reviews! I even got an estimate on putting a new toilet in. Im certain I'll be calling for that very soon!

We called Body plumbing to repair one of our leaking backflow valves. He gave us good price on the repair and he even came twice to work on it after the first attempt did not come out right at no extra charge. His pricing however on testing was good but we found better so we will use another company for yearly testing. We will definitively call him again to get pricing in the future though.

Needed to find a new Backflow inspection company for our home - as our previous vendor chose to shoot up prices beyond our budget.
I was very pleased to have discovered Chicago Backflow.
People I dealt with like Nick, Tiffany, Jessica - and our technician Alan are all superb.  I get the sense this company must be managed very well, because everyone has a very nice attitude and exudes warmth.
Alan showed up right on time at 7am (even with snow falling) and was efficient and had a very kind demeanor.
Price was appropriate.
I'll look forward to working with Chicago Backflow again on my annual inspection next year.  Thanks again, Mark S.

Jon is not only a fantastic plumber, but a great guy. I have worked with him twice now and both times he has been accommodating to my schedule, incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to help me. He's fast, reliable and great to work with. I highly recommend him for any plumbing issues you have in your home.

North Coast Sewer & Drainage installed a flood control system for my home.   I highly recommend them because they adjusted their schedule to meet my need, offered competitive pricing (best of 4 quotes), did the work they said they would do (in one day),  and included restoration of the front lawn at no extra charge.  North Coast obtained the permit and handled the municipal inspection.  The work crew were professional and tidy.  

What made North Coast stand out for me was how they handled additional work.  They sealed the old interior check valve-pit - which I forgot to mention at time of quote - at not extra charge.  A competitor wanted an additional $2,500 to seal the interior pit and perform unnecessary work - a pipe stint.  I am happy that I called North Coast!

Called on a Sunday explained my situation and Daniel was very helpful. He explained what I had to do and came out the next day to take care of the problem. I would hardly recommend this company.

My hot water pressure was down to a trickle in my shower and not much better in the kitchen. Our condo management group recommended Pressure Pro and now I know why.
I called and left a message and the same day Jay called back saying he could stop by later that day in the afternoon if it was convenient for me.
He did an amazing job on both faucets. The pressure has never been this good in the 25 years I've been here.
Best money I've spent all year!

We are commercial, a restaurant. Let me say upfront that they are an acceptable plumber. I think they are or aspire to be a large plumbing outfit, so you might get different people on different days. Sometimes they are quite young who give questionable advice. Replace something that doesn't need replacing. My beef, though, with this company is that they are clearly following some modern model of maximizing revenue, so they are very expensive. As you read their reviews, you'll see that they won't give estimates over the phone. Imo, that's because you won't use them if they do. Once they are at your place, and the water is leaking, you are faced with the choice of them or calling another plumber and waiting more hours . . . . If they were above board, they would at least tell you their implicit hourly rate, and their travel charge to your site. I roughly calculate their hourly rate at $300-400 per hour, which they are not going to tell you over the phone. Two examples. We had drains backing up on the 4th of July. Ok, we know we are going pay. And kudos to them for answering the phone. So they warn that there is a $159 travel charge because it's the 4th. That is absolutely fine. What they don't tell you is that they are also going to nail you on the work. For ~30 minute visit, $1,000+. This is a ~$300 charge from a rooter on any other day. Second, another time, we have a ceiling leak. When they arrive and check it out, they say $475  which I ok. They then present a blank tablet screen with a big signature box which I sign. Later, after this dispute, they send me an contract copy showing I have signed off on ~$900. Sleazy. That's for ~2.5 hour visit, during which they didn't correctly diagnose the problem. Turns out the a/c unit in the ceiling is throwing off water. The plumber at the end of the visit says that he wants to have his hvac guys look at it. I say ok. When they come, they quote $450. What are you going to do? I'm gone by this time but my GM says ok. When done, they present a bill for an additional $900. Double because there are 2 a/c units in the ceiling, which they didn't bring up. What did they do? Basically replace the filters. Admittedly, they aren't easy to access, but they were there for ~2 hours. So, all totaled , ~$2,000 for 4-5 hours of work. Minimal supplies. Do the math. Avoid this company in favor of a plumber where you are dealing with one guy/gal who is upfront about how they charge. Blanton's needs to face up to whether they want to rake customers for one or two times before they drop them, or whether they want to develop repeat, loyal customers.
