Friendly, fast and very knowledgeable.  We needed a handyman to come and re-attach our stove hood that fell off the wall the previous night.  Andrew was here the next morning and fixed it better than before.  Would definitely use him again.

Kevin Welter of Welter Home Services is outstanding!  We've had him to our house twice now to complete projects ranging from hanging a stained glass window pane to replacing light switches to fixing our storm door so that it latches properly.  And so much more.  He always comes up with great solutions to problems with our house we thought we'd never be able to solve!  For instance, he noticed damage to our hardwood floor in the entryway and after asking a few questions about what we would like to see done, he laid out a common sense plan to repair it that would be simple and cost effective.  Eureka, I say!  That's just the type of person we need on-call to help us as we muddle through home ownership.  We are relieved to have found such a competent, hardworking, and reasonably priced handyman whom we can TRUST in Mt. Prospect.  We also have received some great referrals from him for our fireplace repairs/upkeep and our pending driveway and patio project.  We are THRILLED to have found him!  To say we highly recommend Welter Home Services is an understatement.  He is essential around here!

Adam did the backflow testing for out single family residence. He was on-time, courteous and provided me with some helpful tips about our sump pump battery backup. I will definitely use them again in the future!

LOL, I go to the InSink yelp page to do a review and I see the picture of the snowy yard being excavated and did a double-take.  Hey, that's my yard!

We had some recurring problems with the sewer line getting blocked, and the outfit we were using back then (won't name them but it rhymes with Roto-Scooter) claimed we needed $10K+ worth of work to replace a supposedly broken pipe.  I brought in InSink to get a second opinion because I thought I was getting scammed, and it looks like I was.   InSink cleared the problem, and we had them install an outside cleanout, which is the snowy digging going on in the photo .   They were great.

We had an emergency service call the day after Thanksgiving and Adam came out after three other prior service calls late at night.  He was very personable and helpful, answering all our questions and educating us at the same time.  Our immediate issue is resolved but if we need further guidance, we will reach out to him again.

This company quoted us an extremely large amount for work that they said needed to be done to our new home. Thankfully, we got a second opinion and were told this work was unnecessary. Though we did not end up using Welter Plumbing, they STILL sent us a very LARGE bill for coming out to our home. Before their arrival, they never indicated we would be charged for a quote. Though I believe some charge for their time is fair, the bill amount for just looking at our plumbing was ridiculous.

I came across DreamHouse plumbing through a common friend. And then we talked to Audrey from DHP team and he was always very prompt and quick in action when it comes to knowing the problem to fix whether it be Undersink ,pipe line  and outdoor valve issues. I highly recommend Audrey and his team at DHP for any of your plumbing services.

I literally can't say enough great things about Central Plumbing Co.  I was referred to Rob by a trusted friend to help with a couple issues in my newly purchased condo.  For the immediate issue, Rob and Chris came out to fix the issue with my kitchen sink/dishwasher overflowing and augured the kitchen line.  To be thorough, they went into the basement to auger the main drainage line (which i don't think my condo association has touched in a very long time).  Good thing they did because they cleared years of blockage and made sure everything was clean when they left.

For my second appointment, Chris came to replace the basement sump pumps.  I had previously been quoted by another company at a much higher rate.  Since Central Plumbing's employees do not work off commission like other companies, they quoted a good price with quality work.  My pumps are working great and they did a great job.

It's sometimes hard to know whether you are being taken advantage of when you know nothing about plumbing (especially as a female) and I never once felt like this at all with Central Plumbing.  I received nothing but great service and professionalism from both Chris and Rob.  They have a customer for life and I'd recommend them to anyone.

They did a great job and went above and beyond when completing my drain repair. They finished in the contracted time, were extremely professional and friendly. I am very pleased with the job and will be calling them for any other plumbing needs I have in the future.

Called this morning because our mainline backed up. Came out very speedy, Wayne was very speedy and helpful! He was very informative and let is know how to maintain our pipes. Recommend this company.

Not doing what they said they will do and when they said they will. Very frustrating trying to run a rental property and waiting on these guys.

Kennedy Sewer Service replaced my sump pump. It was quick and they did a great job for a fair price. Tim was the worker and he was courteous and explained what he was doing. Highly recommend Kennedy Sewer service for all your plumbing needs.

Four weeks after a great install of two sump pumps, I was happy to call them after finding significant water in my basement. He said he'd make it that day and call. No call. Much later, I called back and he said he'd get back to me. No call. The next day, he said he'd be there in three days. It's now three days and no call.....with water in my basement. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I am glad I came here. I stopped at the big box stores and they had some options but nothing that would help with my issue. Once I got here I had the feeling they usually work with plumbers more but the staff here was and I could tell they had the experience and knew what they were talking about. In fact I drew out what my issue looked like and they talked me through a couple ways to fix it. They also had tons of options so you were bound to find what you needed. All my future plumbing issues I plan to come here for the experience of the staff and the large selection of options.

I am very thankful and grateful to Vilano plumbing, we had a situation where another contractor started the work and could not pass the city inspection, Vilano was highly recommended to me by a friend, so he came out and explained what was wrong, very knowledgeable, better than the inspector, he had to redo almost entire job but we passed inspection on the first time the inspector came back.
I highly recommend Eugen and his crew from Vilano Plumbing

We hired Thiesse to remedy a problem in our basement that was being caused by the city sewers backing up during heavy storms. They recommended installing an ejector pit, into which all the basement piping (floor drain, laundry tub, etc.) would be plumbed. This in turn would eliminate the open drains that the city sewer was backing up into.

After they did the work, we noticed backups in the main stack & immediately notified the company of the problem. They came out again & spent a couple hours rodding the sewer line immediately outside the area they'd worked on days earlier, then told us they couldn't find anything wrong but we should break open the main sewer outside the house, as it was likely blocked or collapsed. (Huh?) We declined this, since we had never had a problem with it prior to the work they did in the basement. We paid almost $500 for this rodding & diagnosis, by the way - this was in addition to the money we paid to have the ejector pit installed.

About a week later, I went into the basement & noticed another backup around the floor drain & water again leaking out of the joints in the main stack a few feet above the floor. This led me to believe the blockage was inside the house. My wife called Thiesse & asked they come out yet again to fix the problem.

When they arrived, they brought their sewer foreman with them - someone who had never seen the house or the work previously done. He proceeded to try to rod the line inside the house, but kept hitting an obstruction beneath the floor. He broke the floor open (this after we had already had it patched after their previous efforts) & determined the plumbers who'd installed the ejector pit had inadvertently filled the main line leading outside with hydraulic cement. His words were looks like we caused the problem.

They returned the next day & removed the clogged pipe, breaking out even more of the concrete floor in the process. Sewage finally flowed again, but Thiesse had the audacity to send us another bill for fixing the problem they had created! We told them in no uncertain terms we would not be paying the bill & they became very hostile, claiming WE had somehow caused the problem.

Our experience was among the worst I've ever had with a company & I would never, under any circumstances, recommend them. Buyer beware.

Horrible customer service.  I was in need of assistance, looking for a part for my toilet and was not assisted in a friendly manner.  I was the only woman in line and was treated in a demeaning manner, even the other men waiting for assistance laughed at the customer service rep assisting me, guess if you are a woman, in a man's plumbing world you are considered a joke.  I would never recommend this store to anyone!
