Best Businesses in Illinois

I'm throughly impressed! Mr. Burris was AWESOME & extremely knowledgeable. He accommodated me and resolved my issue timely. He was pleasant and very wise. I highly recommend him for your small plumbing jobs, I know he will be my go to from now on.
I appreciate being able to spend my dollars in my community.

Jake and Brandon were terrific ! They came out at short notice (didn't charge an emergency or late fee because he's a decent human being!!!) and replaced two sump pumps. We only bought the house a month ago and with the threat of heavy rain, needed to have these checked out. He walked in and in 10 seconds diagnosed our issues. Within 30 minutes two new pumps were in. He showed us how they work, what they're made of, etc. He truly knows and takes pride in the work that he does. Cash or check only, but HIGHLY recommended!!

I can always depend on Martin to do terrific handy services at our home. He's dependable and completes requested tasks in a timely manner. Also, his work is neat and clean. I highly recommend Martin!

Quick | communicative | professional

Quick: I needed to replace my overhead microwave unit in my apartment. I reached out to 8-10 different handyman services, fixer was the first to respond. They also were the first to give a quote that was responsible and didn't look the haggle.

Communicative: when fixer reaches out, they have a texting service that they communicate through and have you save in your phone. The texting service Walk's through payment, scheduling, and any changes or updates. After scheduling me a few days later a new appointment time opened up and the texting service alerted me and I made the appointment for the new time.

Professional: fixer had two people come. As soon as they checked in, I received an email/text that said the people had checked in and their estimate for job length. They best their estimated time by 30 minutes which saved me substantial dollars from the initial estimate.

Pro tip: use the Yelp handyman feature for looking for a handy man.

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 horrid sulfuric smell emanating from our basement and making the entire house smell like an exploded port-o-potty. A problem with our sewer drains and grease traps were the culprits. This was a reoccurring problem in the house, but this was the most severe case. Frustratingly enough, we'd recently had another company come out just a few weeks before to (expensively) address the issue permanently. Clearly, it didn't work. When ACE responded to my call, Rich had a thorough conversation to help understand the problem and history. When ACE came, they were friendly and on time. After the assessment, Rich explained the previous company addressed only one of the FIVE drains in our basements. The last company didn't even note/check the other drains. Rich could not have been more patient walking me through our problem, the sources, his remediation plans and recommendations for future maintenance. Pricing was clear and competitive before the team started any work. It has been months and I'm so glad ACE's fix was truly a permanent solution!
Lastly, I had another plumbing issue (much simpler), and Rich was so kind to give me a diy solution that worked like a charm--his rationale: I don't want charge you for something that could possibly be an easy fix. He even offered to be on the phone and walk me through the solution if I needed help. These guys will be my go-to moving forward.

During the Spring of 2017 my basement flooded at least w inches of water during heavy rains in chucago.  I had the lines Roddenberry 3 different  times thinking each time this will work.  Nope.  I purchased submersible sump pumps to send the water wherever it's supposed to go.  Finally, Spring 2019 was the food that broke the camels back.  I called United Sewer & Drain.  These guys came out with cameras and showed me the water pipe from the city to my property was broken on my side of the sidewalk.  United took out the old pipes, installed new pipes and Voila, no more flooding until the next heavy rain.  I called them back, they returned and discovered the pipe goongbto the drain at the back of the house between the basement back door and steps was broken.  How does that happen?  They dug up the concrete, installed bew pipe, concrete the area, made the drain a little larger than the ol one and I am now a happy camper.  Call these guys if you are having flooding problems.  Oh, by the way - before calling United I called the City, no help at all.

I had Excel Plumbing come to do a drain rodding, since the quote from J Blanton seemed extremely high of $407. The tenant reached out to Excel to ask what it would cost to rod a drain and they replied with $279 but that could increase if its more complicate

The managed to clear the pipes by rodding the drain and the total cost was $279.

I appreciated the upfront pricing and coming in a timely manner.

thank you!

We had emergency leak at our tenants apartment.  It was midweek and after 5pm so i was really worried that i was going to have to wait for someone to come out.  We found this plumber through a google search and they were willing to come out the same day.  It was definitely more but again i can appreciate someone coming out the same day and he was there in an hour.  The leak was coming from the toilet on the 3rd floor and already coming through the ceiling of the 2nd floor tenants.  Terry's team was quick and he followed up to make sure everything was going well.  They also have a 1 year warranty.  Needless to say that we have not had any problems!

Thompson is THE BEST.  I've had multiple issues with various plumbing issues and they have always been responsive and attentive to everything that needed to be done.  If you are looking for an honest and trustworthy plumber they are the ones to call

Scheduling was efficient, prompt. Tim was punctual, his explanation of the plumbing issue, clear and concise. This was quality work, quality service. Pricing was fair!

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.

My neighbors had complaints of a leak coming from above and it turns out my water heater was doing it. It lived almost a good 20 years, but as a first time homeowner I haven't had a chance to think proactively about preventative maintenance and replacing it any earlier. After several quotes, I decided with John because he did have the most reviews here on Yelp, he provided the lowest quote, seemed very knowledgeable, and I was enticed by the idea of extra storage he said that I would have and how the unit would be placed and such. He did mention that either he or his guy Lucien was going to be doing the job. John told me that there would be a gas cost savings, but I was unaware that this has an electrical component and didn't think about the ramifications of the increase of electricity or energy consumption that I should have asked about. I was surprised at Lucien's request to get an extension cord and telling me that I would now have to get an electrician to add an outlet to my switch so that my Navien tankless water heater cord would not have to be plugged outside of the utility closet. So this is another thing to add to my growing to do list. Lucien did a good job, but it wasn't the vision that John provided me and I think I overheard this on the phone conversation after the job was completed and a picture was sent over to John. So, I believe John knows this and is aware, but at the end of the day I am stuck with how this thing is fitting in that space. I was told I would have extra storage with the way the unit would be put in. The piping has basically encased both sides and is not up against the wall that John told me that it would be on. What has been particularly tough for me to swallow is that I feel like I paid a premium for a high quality expensive product set up in a way that was not how I was told it was going to be. I feel like after you buy something very high end and cool that I should be happy, but I feel frustrated and disappointed. So now every time I open the door to the water heater and furnace I'm going to think about this - like this isn't how this is supposed to be!

I wanted to provide an update that North Coast has been awesome to work with and has helped to answer many questions I've thrown their way about various plumbing stuff.

Our prior seepage issue that my original review was about doesn't happen anymore despite some savage rainfall this year.

he came to give a estimate and was able to do the job right away we needed an old water softener taken out and a pipe replacement it was done quickly  also he was on time and we were very  happy with the work and will call him if needed again

The water pressure in my mother's bath tub faucet was down to a trickle, I was very concerned that the 55 year old pipes needed to be replaced.  Jose the plumber recommended the Pressure Pro to me.  Jay showed up on time and within 30 minutes had the water gushing out like new construction plumbing!  Jay told me to make sure to call him back in case there was a problem as his work is fully guaranteed.  For incredible work at a very reasonable price, I uneqivocally recommend Pressure Pro!

They were referred to me by another company and I though there prices were through the roof.
They diagnosed that our wax ring on our toilet is bad and leaking I'm sorry but $393.06 to replace a wax ring on a toilet you have to be kidding.  I would not recommend them to anyone. the work they completed was good but they charge way too much!!!
