Best Businesses in Illinois

I had just closed on my house on 03/26/20 Wednesday, and then discovered a little puddle of water in my basement by the floor drain and furnace today, 03/28/20 Sat. I have not even moved in my house yet so I was freaking out. The home warranty company I purchased, American Shield Home Warranty, were horrible! When I called them to send a plumber, they said they would send one asap and have them call me. Well, I kept calling them, and gave up after waiting for three hours since no one would follow up on my service request.

So, I decided to do a google search for plumbers and found Mr. Burris' company. I decided to call them. Mr. Burris called me in less than an hour and asked what the problem was. When I told him the problem, he said that he was coming right away.

Not only did Mr. Burris diagnose the problem right away, he fixed it. The water turned out not to be anything major. Mr. Burris was honest and he did not try to advantage of me since I was a new homeowner. He went above and beyond his duty. He educated me on my heating, cooling, and plumbing system and that is priceless.

Thank God for Mr. Burris. I highly recommend him

Jake couldn't have been more kind and professional. He was at my house first thing on a Sunday morning. He identified the problems and was patient with us. He discovered our problems were a more severe than we all thought. He referred us to another company to handle our major repairs and even called to check in later on our progress. Although Jake wasn't able to to fix everything I couldn't be more impressed and I would use him again without question.

Martin is so bad, he charged me $100 for put two lights and hang two paintings for 30 mins work, he overcharged me, please be careful ask the price first! Never never use he again!!!

This is a long-overdue review of an excellent business!  I've had them come for two jobs at my house: redoing closets and refinishing a cracked and peeling ceiling in the kitchen.  Both jobs were done flawlessly by workmen who were professional and friendly.  Compared to many conrators that take your money and do bad work, or take your money and leave a project half-finished (I've experienced both), these folks are conscientious, careful, and make sure that you're happy with the product. I will definitely come back with more work for them!

Wow. Wow! Wow!!!!!!

I moved into a new house and recently finished our basement. The old owners had an Old Watch Dog system in which the cables were in terrible condition and every now and then the battery would beep randomly.

I was getting tired of it so it was time to buy a new battery backup. After days of research I was sold on the Wayne WSS30VN. Bought it off Amazon with prime, got it within 2 days and then when I opened and compared it to the old Watchdog I was like umm yea, time to call for some help.

Found Emergency Plumbing online and thought I'd give them a try with all the positive reviews I saw.

Man am I so happy I hired them. The business resides in Cary so the commute for them isn't crazy for emergency plumbing situations for me.

They gave a very reasonable quote, I agreed on, they came on time and did a empacable job.  
Within an hour they took out the old Watchdog system, adjusted some PVC tubing and installed my new Wayne WSS30VN. Once it was done they brought a hose they had with them, tested the system and also told me about some other things I never knew like flushing out sediment once a year from the water heater.

They also helped recommend me with some water softeners and sediment filters for the future.

Man I'm so happy I forgot to include their names.

Konstantin and Nick are some or the best in the plumbing game.  I have found my go to plumbers.

5/5!!! 10/10!!!!

These guys came out in the middle of the night and saved our basement.
Not only did they have a vacuum truck on the scene to pump out our backed up catch basin, they used hydrojetting to break through a clog that a rod wouldn't budge.

Fairly priced for a middle of the night emergency.

Thank you team ACE. We appreciate you !!!!

Charge me $380 Ron out the basement it only last for four months and I had the same problem came back out here I wanted to charge me another $250 do the same thing again  do not guarantee they work

Excellent service and cost

The screenshots tell the whole story, but I'll paraphrase.  Terry's communication was horrible, he obviously did not pay attention to our communications, and he never showed for the agreed-upon time.  Terry sucks.  He really, really sucks.  He should call his business Your Helpless Putzy Head-Up-Arse Plumber.  And apparently you have to look at the photos in reverse order.

Wow! These guys solved a problem for me that seven other plumbers missed! Not sure what the bill will be, but I know it will be half what the other estimates were. My dishwasher wasn't filling - they were the only guys to pull it out and check the connection behind the wall. I asked him why he was the only guy that did that - he said because it's the hardest thing to check. Problem solved and I'm one happy customer! Great work!

I needed to have a gas line installed to service a newly installed gas cooktop (switched from electric to gas).   Tim from Keeley's arrived at my house well within the time window he provided.  He provided a reasonable estimate for the work (I did get other quotes) and was able to squeeze my job into his schedule within the same week.  The Keeley team arrived to perform the work again within the time window they provided.  They were respectful of my house taking care to protect my floors and cabinets.  They were efficient and completed the work in the time they had estimated.  All in all their work was excellent.

Body Plumbing did  our City of Chicago Backflow Device testing for our house (we have a home sprinkler system).  He came in about half the price of a few other places we called.  He was on time, very nice and professional and did all the paperwork.  Highly recommended, great experience.

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.

You won't be sorry that you called Jon to handle any plumbing issue that you have. I called Jon strictly based on his Yelp 5 star ratings & he lived up to it as everyone was right about him. My tub had a clog & my attempt to use a snake to fix it was going nowhere. On top of that, I hate handling any service calls to the house because I often feel like service/repair guys treat women like fools & easy targets to rip off. I didn't feel this at all with Jon.  
Jon was:
1) Prompt & professional-called me back within 5 minutes to set our appointment!;
2) Efficient-unclogged my tub in less than 5 minutes;
3) Thorough-gave great maintenance tips for the future;
4) Confident-gave a 2 year warranty on the clog!  Weird, that we found what we think is kitty litter in the tub (causing the slow drain)! He assured me that he's seen it all!
5) He's funny-who doesn't like funny?  

He gave me great maintenance tips & some enzyme cleaner for my 3 flat building & made the whole experience simple & easy-so good that I had to write about it on Yelp! Jon will be my go-to guy for any future plumbing in the building & I would recommend him in a heart beart to others!

I called about a minor issue with our sewer system last week expecting the worst. Eric stopped by the next day, spent 10-15 minutes checking things out, gave me some advice, and then went about his day. Total cost - $0. I guess I was just fortunate not to have a bigger issue, but he seemed genuinely interested in helping me out knowing he wasn't going to charge me. I chose this company specifically because of their reviews and they didn't disappoint.

I've used All Suburban for my sump pump, ejector pump and just recently they repaired a broken sewer line.  All 3 have been emergency situations and they've been extremely responsive, friendly and professional.  

They're my go to for plumbing and highly recommend.

We had a 3rd floor condo bathroom, where the hot water pressure was barely a trickle.  Showering, was incredibly refreshing, but with the really cold weather, it became impossible.

The issue was not a building-wide issue (the hot water risers had been replaced a few years ago), so this was something within our unit.  We called plumber #1 who said they'd have to rip out the tile, break into the wall, replace all of the pipes at a cost of about $2,500-$3,500. Yikes! $150.00 for the visit.

The building's management company gave us the name of plumber #2 who said nonsense!  'Dis is a Chicago Faucet... we do 'dis kid of 'ting all da time... no problem!  They came out, pulled the faucet, pulled the handles and valves... and in the long run ($350.00 later) they couldn't fix it.

Each of these visits from plumbers #1 and #2 we had to have the water turned off in the tier... (no small feat).

The building maintenance guy told us to give Pressure Pros a call.  Jay came out quickly... we didn't have to have the water turned off.  He was on time, he was a nice guy... he lugged this unusual home-grown device, on two wheels, up three flights of stairs... plugged it into the shower nozzle, spent 20 minutes pushing pressure back and forth, back and forth... while we sat and talked.

When he pulled the device back off the nozzle, miraculously... without turning off the water to the tier... without damaging the bathroom tile, and without needing to use our Home-Equity-Line-of-Credit... we had more hot water pressure than we'd ever had.  And all for less than $100.00.  He didn't accept credit cards... but he said he'd mail me a bill.

I can't say enough nice things about Jay and Pressure Pros.  They saved us thousands, they were professional, nice, neat and showed up on time.  What more can you ask!?

Jacob and Lou saved Christmas!!!!  Very professional and nice guys. They showed up on a extremely cold and dangerous night. Beyond thankful!!
