Best Plumbing Services in Illinois

I scheduled a plumber with this company because of all the positive reviews and the $49 discount for Yelpers.  The plumber called me on the way to my house to alert me of his arrival, which was during the scheduled block of time that was given. He proceeded to ask me what was the problem that I was experiencing.  I thought that was odd -- didn't the company write down my initial concerns when I called them to schedule the appointment?  We were not able to talk.  So, he arrived unknowing of the issue, which seemed to frustrate him.
When he was able to witness the same problem of water draining from the bottom of the disposal, he simply watched the water leak all over the cabinet.  I had to ask him if he could place the basin under the unit to catch the dripping water to that it didn't make a mess of the cabinet. It was initially under the disposal when he arrived, but he moved it.  I would've thought that it was common sense to collect the water as an initial reaction, but he only watched the water leak.
He told me that he didn't have any disposals available since I didn't tell him what the problem was when he called 10 min prior to his arrival.  And that he passed several stores on the way where he could have purchased one had I told him the issue earlier.  Seriously?  I suspected the problem was a bad disposal.  But I am not a qualified plumber, nor do I deal with plumbing issues every day.
He quoted me $450 to replace the unit, which is OUTRAGEOUS!.  But, he said that if I called his boss, he could probably do something on price.  From experience, a previous replacement of a 1/3 HP garbage disposal was a total cost of $245, including parts.  After my less than stellar encounter with this plumber and outrageous quote, I told the gentleman that I will NOT have my unit replaced.  
He didn't charge me for my visit, which he told me was going to be $35 (maybe because of the Yelp discount, or his frustration, or the fact that I still have a mess under my sink to clean that he made?). I rebutted and told him that I had no problem paying for the visit.  But he kept walking out of the house to leave, stating that it wasn't necessary.
I proceeded to order a new disposal from the manufacturer's website, and I upgraded to a 1/2 HP unit for a mere $54 with discount code.  I am assured that I will be able to find another plumber to install the unit for a fraction of the quoted cost. I would definitely look elsewhere.  I gave 2 stars for his on-time arrival and notification for his arrival.

Needed two water heaters. They were superbly well installed the next day. Incredibly profession. One man completed job quickly, cleaned, and left. The best!

Javier was fantastic - figured out exactly what was needed quickly with no upselling, left everything cleaner than when he arrived, and educated me along the way. Will be asking for him from here on out.

Our toilet flooded in the middle of the night on a Sunday. I didn't want to risk serious water damage, so I did a quick search & found fast response from Discount Plumbing. I requested a quote on yelp and they responded within minutes & they said a technician can come out & gives me a FREE quote with no obligation. They arrived in minutes and my toilet soon was able to flushing like it was brand new! I appreciate them walking in with booties and walking me through the whole process & answering my questions. Definitely took the customer service to another level with that. Plus, the 10% coupon helped..

Thank you

I had couple of issues at my place from shower not working to kitchen sink.  I was looking for a plumber who was reliable and did a good job after having some bad experiences in the past with the quality and reliability.  Scott was recommended by a friend.  He called me prior to his appointment to let me know that he is running 30 minutes late and he did get at my place on time.  He was able to get all the job done within few hours. Now I can enjoy my shower again!!

I had an issue with my kitchen sink backing up with food which clearly was not from my unit. I had one plumbing company come in and rod it out and when it didn't work too well they quit and left. We never heard from them again.

I called Rocket Plumbing after that and they also rodded out my sink line. That initially worked but the kitchen sink starting backing up again a couple of days later. I called Brian (the owner) and he said that maybe the rodding didn't work too well and we needed to hydro jet the sink line. I called a couple of other companies to compare Brian's quote for the hydro jetting and he was in the ballpark with the others so I decided to go back to him for the job. He came in with his nephew and the hydro jetting machine and they were here hydro jetting for a couple of hours (we decided to just go ahead and hydro jet 3 other lines in our building as well). Brian and his nephew were great!

Unfortunately a couple of days later the kitchen sink starting backing up again so I called back Brian. He found it odd so he suggested we camera the line to see what was going on. Brian doesn't own the camera equipment so he was very honest with me about how much it was going to cost him to rent the equipment and how much he would charge for labor. He came in a couple of days later, video recorded the line and he found what the problem was, the building sink line was back pitched so everything from the units above me was coming down, hitting the back pitch and them coming back up in my kitchen sink. Brian sent me the recorded video and everything which was pretty cool.

So then Brian said we had to go to my basement, open up the ceiling and fix the buildings back pitched sink line. His quote for this job was fairly high but seeing how great a job he had done with everything else and that he knew exactly where the issue was, I decided to go with him. He said it would take two of his men 8 hours to complete the job. The guys came in for the job, it took both of them 5.5 hours and he adjusted the quote down for me based on the fact it took them less.

Needless to say, the problem is now completely gone and we are extremely happy to not have to deal with it any more. Brian is a great professional and I still text him for other stuff to this day. Thanks again Brian!

Yelp is the best. They responded asap and came out a day later. Understood the issue right away and that I wanted Toto parts for the repair. Bought them from the nest place and texted/ called when done. Probably more expensive that the others who responded but I felt confident and it was DONE!

I would like to thank Windy City Plumbing for always providing wonderful service.  Over the past few years, I have relied on Jose and his team for his services from fixing sinks to installing new equipment (washer/dryer) to upgrading.  Just yesterday, they put in a new bathroom sink.

What I like about them is that they are efficient, polite, knowledgeable, timely, affordable, focused and respectful.  Jose gives us great advice on the best way to go about fixing something.  He listens to our desires and offers the best solutions.  For example, he helped suggest the kind of sink that would work best in our (funny) bathroom and his team helped us decide it's position (that would be best for our new sink).  They took out our old sink and disposed of it without leaving a trace in our place or in our condo building.  
Olivia, the receptionist, was the nicest person to set an appointment with.  She was so friendly!  I've always been able to get an appointment within my timeframe or when there is an emergency.

I would absolutely recommend Windy City Plumbing to anyone I know.  I am so happy that I found Jose and his team; it certainly makes owning a condo that much easier.  I look forward to someday fixing the rest of my bathroom  . . . with Windy City Plumbing on my team.

Highly recommend Eugene and his crew! He was able to provide a rough estimate from photos due to covid. Great communication throughout the project. They replaced old plumbing and installed a new bathtub and then the final trim in for the shower/bath parts. Friendly and kept our place clean.

During the cold weather we had a pipe burst. While they were very busy due to the high volume of pipe bursts in the city, they were extremely late in making our appointment. We weren't given an estimate to fix the issue and instead were sent a $400 bill to stop the leak. What we late learned was that the plumber didn't even re attach the pipes so that we could use our washer and dryer. Net net, we had a late plumber, a $400 charge to stop a leak and not even fix it.

Not recommended until your issue is not urgent and you receive a firm quote beforehand.

Jesus came over the weekend to fix our clogged sink. I texted him at 10 AM and he was here a little after 1 PM - a huge relief as most places were telling me it would be at least 3 days before anyone could actually fix it. Pricing was reasonable for the short-notice/emergency - he fixed the problem quickly and was able to recommend fixes for the larger problems we have (he's coming back to do those too!). At the end of his visit, we asked Jesus to just make sure pipes under the sink were re-connected properly - he noticed the previous owner had not only used the wrong parts, but installed them wrong too. He was able to get us the right parts from his truck, fixed them and got us feeling confident about our plumbing again. He's a real good one!

The old wallet's feeling a bit lighter after being slapped with a $900 fee for what, two johns(standard round toilets) that I supplied to the plumber, along with a rubber and wax ring that I had on hand.  Sounds a bit rich to me, doesn't it to you? No curveballs thrown in the way, no pesky repair flanges to contend with(because i removed it), and yet...the plumber decides to slap on his own putty instead of opting for the tried and true gasket? Not to mention the job was done in two hours on the dot. ($900 for labor??)
A bit curious, I must say. Had I known the
final tally, I might've taken matters into my
own hands. A bit of elbow grease and a
trusty flange removal tool, and I would have been all set.
And so, my friends, it seems like it's time to
put pen to paper and share my experience
with the world. Let others know the ins and
outs of these plumbing shenanigans without
holding back on the details. After all,
knowledge is power and power is..well, you
know the rest.

(A side note,  he removed a water filtration from under the kitchen sink that was supposed to be removed on the last visit.  Also he found clay like grease in the pea trap that was also supposed to be snaked the last visit as well but apparently didn't happen,  so these tasks should have been complimentary)

I needed service today because I had a pipe burst from the cold and I had to shut down all water to my house. They gave a quote thru yelp and were able to come out within 90 minutes of me calling them. Their service was excellent, fast and they took care to keep things clean. The plumbers were very friendly and we talked about future work they wil be doing for me. And oh ya, the price was VERY reasonable! I recommend them and will be using them again in the future. Too bad all businesses weren't run as well.

They are quick and efficient but not the best pricing in the market. My tenant said that the service man was rude and in her face about trying to replace a garbage disposer for which they charged me double the market rate.

I will add that the scheduling is amazing online and great follow up. That is why they have two stars instead of one for the behavior.

Spoke with Darrel about an electrical issue. He came out same and and looked at the Bob and gave a quote.  Completed the work the next day!  Very professional and knowledgeable!  Great people!!  Great work!

Our toilet was backing up.  To add to that, every time we used water anywhere in the house, it caused that same toilet to back up.  It was a mess!  Hristo came by, removed the toilet, and brought in a machine to snake the pipe.  He then put in a new toilet.  Hristo was very professional, good sense of humor, and got the job done quickly.  It was a messy job and I never heard Hristo complain.  I would highly recommend Hristo's company for any plumbing job.  Thank you again, Hristo!

I am revising my prior review after a prompt and very polite and well reasoned explanation ftom the owner of cj plumbing.

The gist is:

1.  They are extremely competent and pleasant to deal with.
2.  Discuss ahead of time the charges for every service

Mike and his partner repaired the work done by two separate Angie's list plumbers (one sent to repair the errors of the first) who removed my outside faucet pipe through a wall behind a built-in television console, and then shoved it back through the bricks without any attachment, leaving leaking water inside my home.  The resulting water seepage into the cabinet was causing significant damage.  Mike responded to my urgent call, notified me he would have to cut inside the cabinet to fix the problem.  I agreed and he then made fine interior cuts that are not visible from outside the cabinet and are easily repairable inside.  In short order, he then replaced the pipe to perfection!  He also repaired the upstairs sink faucet the prior plumbers had left open pouring into the cabinet also!

I had some issues with my water pressure so I reached out to a few plumbing companies on Yelp. Juan responded almost immediately and said he could be out at 9am the next day. Not only did he show up on time but he called me on the road to provide his ETA. While he was at my house he was extremely professional and incredibly thorough. He walked me through everything he was doing and asked for my feedback along the way. Do you think this is better for the pressure or no? He went to the plumbing supply store for me TWICE. Can't give him enough praise! It's such a great feeling when you finally find a contractor who you can trust -  Juan has built a loyal customer in me!

Noel is a great plumber.  Arrived exactly on time to fix my leaky faucet that had created a pool  of water on my kitchen floor.  Worked diligently to ascertain the source of the leak and reset the cartridge that was driving me crazy.  Would highly recommend his work. The leak is completely fixed and plumbing adjustments were made that left the site much better than he found it.  Will definitely call Noel again.  You should hire him without reservation!   Thank you Noel!
