Best Businesses in Illinois

Mr. Burris has managed the plumbing system of our family's properties for over 10 years. Mr. Burris has alot of expertise & great professionalism. It has been great doing business with him. Mr. Burris also manages the entire condominium's plumbing system.

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 hung my aerial hammock up in under an hour! When he first came in, he assessed the ceiling in my studio and realized it was too hollow to hold an aerial apparatus so we unfortunately couldn't hang it up there. But he noticed the beam near my door was fully concrete so he suggested we try handing it up there. Martin will not only offer professional advice but also solutions if any problems arise. He's a pleasure to be around and an incredibly skilled worker.

Thank you!

Fixer did an excellent job replacing the basement front door on my house.
The door is not standard dimensions, so the job took two steps:
1. Have Fixer order the door and wait for it to come in
2. Have Fixer pick up the door from Home Depot, abd Fixer install the door.

Excellent response during a flood from back flow with the city , gave excellent advice , good pricing, do not take advantage of the emergency

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.

United Sewer & Drains is pretty awesome.  Can't say enough good things.  Did a great job, fast & didn't cost too much.  Definitely recommend.  These are good people.

Fantastic response and friendly technician. This is our 3rd time using Excel, and not our last.

My parents had an upstairs bathtub that was completely blocked...Terry and his co worker from Your Helpful Plumber worked hard until it was unblocked.  They made sure the job was done correctly.  

We were very happy with their service and will definitely refer them to our family and friends.

Great company - so glad I called them. Scheduling was easy and they asked for pictures before they came (which is great because they come prepared). Showed up right on time. Fixed a few plumbing issues, including replacing water shutoff valves that were leaking. Explained what they were doing and were very fair in pricing. Highly recommended.

Tim was amazing -- he came out right when we called, fixed the problem AND MORE! He fixed a tub that was not draining (gross!) and now it works fabulous. He also helped fine a water line off valve that many other people, including another plumber, couldn't find. He was very patient and did all this work at a reasonable cost. Highly recommend to anyone!

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.

I called the Doctor yesterday after a debacle and over-priced visit from Roto-Rooter (RR) regarding some toilet maintenance and piping.

As background: RR decided to turn on and off my main water valves which are nearly 18 years old, rusted, and ready to fall off the walls. As a result, water sprayed everywhere and no matter the position, a constant leak ensued. I toweled the area and asked RR to leave and paid through the teeth for their help

I ran to Yelp and found the Doctor, who was able to take a look at my valves and leak within 60-90 minutes of my call. He explained the solution in terms I could understand, and presented a competitive price for the fix.

I was so pleased to have a fast, reliable, and knowledgable plumber. He was friendly, professional, funny, and a fellow dog lover. I also learned a lot from him regarding the water supplies and plumbing of my home. I would trust him to complete projects - small and large - in a timely and effective manner, giving priority to each of your emergencies and making each homeowner feel like a VIP.

I called at 7:45am because of sewer backup into house, James and crew from North Coast rolled up at 8:30am. He reviewed the issue, routed the lines, cleared blockage within an hour. They also replaced some pipes needing repair. Honest and fair pricing. I have now found my go to plumber.

So plumber came out the same day, rotted one stack said the other didn't need rotting.  Now my plumbing is more screwed up then it was before he came.  I ran the washer and all the water for the washer is now being pushed into the kitchen sink, and water is leaking from the stack. Not sure what he did to screw up the plumbing, but now I need another plumber to come out and fix the mistake this company made.

Jim responded quickly and fixed my problem right away.  My kitchen water was down to less than a pencil thick trickle.  For $85, he was in and out in  minutes and I've got a beautiful geyser-like flow.  I couldn't be happier.
Bonus:  jim is a real nice guy with a sense of humor and a willingness to do a little more.  He volunteered to check my bathroom flow and even tried to fix a leak until he discovered the extension arm had a little crack.  But he told me where to go and whom to ask for when I got there to get that little problem resolved.
This is the way it should be when you call for help!

We had a flood in our basement and called over a dozen plumbers to come and help. J Blanton was the first to respond that they could have someone at our home in 15 minutes. The office manager was extremely understanding and helpful. They sent a plumber who quoted us $1,800 for an ejector pump. I said no way. They came back with $1,325 and I agreed because the water was ruining my home. While the new pump fixed the problem, they re-used the old cover (didn't even offer a new one) and the 2 workers were here for 2 hours. The cost of a new pump is at the high end $400. So, the labor was $825 for 2 hours? The bill from J Blanton was outrageous and the work sloppy.  They clearly took advantage of a crisis situation.

I called to complain about the sloppy work and asked for a new cover. They sent a new person out who was appalled at the job and he did a better job of sealing the cover with silicone. I asked about the new cover and was told that the owner wanted to charge an additional $188!  Unfortunately, he made a cheap decision to lose a customer who otherwise would have been loyal.

Overpriced and sloppy work.  I do NOT recommend.

In response to Jack's comments: The 1st plumber I spoke to several times throughout the day and he never mentioned anything about venting. Neither did the other company that is now repairing the work.

Asking to fix a poor job is not bullying, it's customer service.

The fact that Jack thinks I should check with my husband before writing a review on Yelp is simply an insult to all women.
