Jeff saved the day when our sump pump was broken. He answered his phone at 9pm, was at our door within 15 min and evaluated the issue. He was back the next day and fixed the problem within just a few minutes. Super nice guy and excellent service!

These guys are great! My wife noticed we had no hot water while I was at work. We had concerns about finding someone Friday afternoon, the day before Christmas eve. I found these guys on yelp.They had great reviews. So I called them. They were at our home in about 2 hrs. My wife met them because I couldn't leave work. She said when they came they were very nice and polite. They were very professional and explained everything to her. Well, our hot water heater was leaking inside and dripping on the pilot.
So being the Friday before Christmas we scheduled our new hot water heater for the following Monday.
We were able to have hot water over the weekend,  because they showed us how to light the pilot. They also said if we can get it lit over the holiday, call them and they'd come out.
Well we had our new water heater put in this morning and we couldn't be more pleased. John and Cody were very nice, professional and efficient. Just like my wife said. So going forward, this our new plumber.
Would I recommend these guys? ABSOLUTELY!

My sewer line was plugged on a Friday afternoon and I had out of town guests coming that evening.  I made a lot of calls to try to get someone to come out and clear the line.  Flush Plumbing & Sewer was the only company that I got a live person on the phone.  They told me they couldn't get there on Friday, but they could be there first thing in the morning.  As promised they showed up at 8:30 AM and cleared the line within an hour.  They then explained what had happened and recommended installing an outside clean-out so they could clear the line better.  I called other pumping companies and they agreed with their recommendation.  In the end, they showed up on time, fixed the problem, explained the situation, and charged a fair price.  I would recommend them and I would use them again.

My plumber was Juan Zarate - great communication skills, prompt, and knew what he was doing. I had an issue when Juan finished the job because of some shoddy work that was done by a separate plumber, and Juan came back (twice!) without hesitation. Great service. Thank you.

I would Highly recommend Roc's Plumbing!! 5 stars isn't enough.  They are professional, reasonable, and very clean work.  They treat you not just like a client .  Sharon. And Mike  helped me out with a major plumbing problem I had with another company.  I needed help during a week where we got a bad storm and there was a lot of flooding and they were very busy and were able to squeeze me in.  They will work with you. They do a wonderful job!  If you look you will see they are very recommended.  They take there time not rushed.  Very honest company !! Mike is the plumber that took care of my house plumbing problem. He explained everything clearly.  So everyone if you ever need a plumber please call Roc's Plumbing! A company that is loyal and honest !

I choose my businesses mostly based on yelp reviews from real customers. I am so glad I listened to the reviews and went with Kevin at Specialty Plumbing Co. He's probably the most honest and helpful person I have ever hired for a job. He didn't try to up sell me and explained in full detailed every part of the job he was doing and answered even a few questions about other issues I had not related to the job. Pricing was very reasonable compared to others. I am very pleased with the job he did and asked him if he could come help at my parents house as well. Would definitely hire again.

Dunbar's is great! Happy to find a great, reliable southside plumber. I called them this morning around 9am, and Angelo Dunbar himself came out within an hour. We had a leak from our tub that was causing water to drip into the ceiling of the room below. Angelo gave me an estimate, then ran out for parts. He returned only 3 hours later, ready to fix it! Turned out to be a bad gasket seal on the overflow valve, which he replaced easily. He also tightened up the nuts around the base of our drain, keeping it from draining while my kids are in the tub. To top it off, he and his assistant cleaned up the drywall mess they had to cut through to fix the problem. Excellent service! Everything taken care of the day I called! Thanks, Angelo!

Very responsive and schedule site visit immediately. Took their time so I understood what was happening and the rates.... Extremely reasonable.

If I have future plumbing needs, D E Matthieu will be my first call.

We had a water issue with our upstairs bath tub that was leaking into our ceiling, and Boss Plumbing arrived a few hours after I called. They were able to fix the problem quickly and were very friendly. I would definitely recommend!

Response: Inspection (camera) of sewer line was never offered on the first visit, as I mentioned, and I'll leave it at that. Original service call did clear one blockage, but appears to have missed the blockage from the clean-out on the parkway to the city sewer line. We've had our sewer line cleared many times, in many homes, before and after inspection camera were an option, and every other time we ended up with a clear sewer line that lasted more than a month. I was disappointed in the original response I received from Gino because he has the potential to run an outstanding plumbing company, but clearly needs to work on the customer service side of the business. I am always willing to pay for quality workmanship, and if an issue arises after the job is completed, that the company work with me on a solution that doesn't require an investment that is more than the original cost of the job.

Original Review: Excellent Plumbing (Gino)
Does not guarantee work and very expensive. Our main sewer line backed up in early June.  Called Excellent Plumbing was quoted $500 to rod main line and $250 for responding on a Sunday. Gino responded Sunday morning to clear the main sewer line. He started the process with an exterior clean-out on the parkway but mentioned there would be an additional charge of $150 if he needed to enter the premises to use a clean-out in the basement. The blockage couldn't be cleared from the exterior, so the job required use of the clean-out in basement. Since sewage backed up into the utility sink, when he opened the clean-out located at floor level, sewage spouted all over the place and he made no effort to contain it or clean it up afterwards, only offering to have another company come out to clean it up and work with my insurance company. He was able to clear the blockage and demonstrated there was good flow by turning all the water on in the house and seeing it flow through the exterior clean-out. Total cost $900.

About a month later, sewer line backs up again. I called Excellent Plumbing back and was quoted $650 to return and clear the blockage in the sewer line again, and if I wanted the line inspected it would be an additional $300, to which he offered to discount the inspection job by $150. He also mentioned it would be a few days before he could come back. Since he couldn't attend to the job for a couple days and would require us to pay full price ($650) for a second time, as well as only having limited use of our plumbing, we decided to rent an auger and a camera. Turns out the blockage was between the parkway clean-out and the street which, I believe, was not rodded during the original service call. After the sewage cleared, we were able to inspect the line and found 3 different root bundles at the joints (clay tile) with holes the size of an auger in them, so when the system was tested the line appeared to be clear. He never offered to inspect the line on the initial call but the additional $300 charge certainly would have given me pause on a job already costing $900 that only took 2 1/2 hours to accomplish.

For a sewer line back-up service call and the price that was charged, I would expect, at a minimum, the line be cleared of all debris from the clean-out to the city sewer line. Additional, if another blockage were to occur in short order, I would expect some type of consideration for the first call. In this case, the original job wasn't completed to industry standards and the call back should have been covered by warranty. He never even mention that as a possibility during our second discussion.

FLO MAXX saved the day! My Mom took in water around her catch basin on 1/11/2020, she is 81 years old and lives alone in South Holland, I am her daughter and I live in the city. I called a well known company that specializes in water leaks around 10:00 am, they said they were busy but could come in a couple of hours, well as we waited the water continued to come in for six hours after I had call the well known company.I grew tired of waiting for them so I goggled other leak specialists in the South Holland area and found FLO MAXX!! Thank God for them!! The technician Martin came out within 25 minutes of my call! he quickly assessed the problem and went to work on it immediately! We negotiated a good price with his boss and our problem was resolved. I would call them again. by the way the other company showed up after the job was done six and a half hours later.Good job FLO MAXX!!! THANK YOU!!!

Ralph recently handles two jobs for me at a rental unit in the city.  He did a great job, showed up on time and communicated the issues to me.  Couldn't ask for anything more and will definitely use Ralph again in the future.

Victor came to out Home in the middle of the night. 1:00am. I mean who does that and still carries the most positive attitude possible. In a word.....amazing. He was a true professional and did one amazing job fixing all of our issues. This is the first review I've ever done but I can assure you hiring Victor would be the smartest move you could ever make no matter what the time. I would recommend him to the highest degree possible. You are a breath of fresh air In the service industry!  Thanks again!!!!

I had a bad sewer backup and got the number for Glennon Sewer from a trusted friend. I was so blown away! They scheduled an appointment quickly, assessed my issues and worked quickly and efficiently. Shaun and Luke explained what was needed, what would be done and gave me a thorough overview of their work. Price was fair, everything works and I'm so grateful that I called them.

Good Plumbing inc did a great job on a residential call recently.  They answered my initial call after work hours, and were quick to schedule.  Pat the plumber called the day of the appointment, did the work promised in a timely manner, and was professional and courteous.  I would definitely recommend Good Plumbing Inc to anyone.

Great job, great people to deal with. All went smoothly as planned and friendly customer service

Pete is a very knowledgeable plumber.  He is straightforward with the scope of the work and pricing and a very fair person to work with.  I appreciate his craftsmanship and use him whenever I have the need for a plumber.

Debbie received our request for a quote and promptly responded. She was also very nice and thorough. So fantastic on that end. Then Matt and (sorry can't remember 2nd guy's name) came out and did an absolutely fantastic job. You know good work when you see it, so look at he pics I attach to this review. The cost was very reasonable. I picked these guys because of all the very positive detailed reviews I found on Yelp. Now I see exactly what they meant. We will be using them for all our plumbing and related services needs. Also, I believe this is a locally family owned business. The quality and dedication definitely reflect that. Ok not sure what else I can say, they are awesome.  

12/9/16 - continued great service from some issues that popped up. This is a company you can trust and use for the long term.
