Best Plumbing Services in Illinois

I've had various plumbing issues over the years in this old house (bathtub, kitchen faucet, toilet) and Pat from Drain-EEZ was able to fix them all to our satisfaction. Also, recently I was unsuccessful in fixing a kitchen sink drain leak myself so I called Pat to come over and solve the problem for me. After I sent a photo of the issue over the phone, he saw that it was something that I could easily remedy on my own. He suggested that I try but would be happy to come over if it didn't work. Pat patiently talked me through the fix that was very simple and it cost me nothing. I appreciate his integrity.

These guys are great plumbers.   I met Mac and Jimmy and both were very friendly and came quickly to solve our plumbing problems.   They have very reasonable prices as well.  We will definitely call them again.

Finally found a plumbing company I can rely on !! Highly recommend ! Fredi was very helpful and honest. He walked me through every step of the way and educated me since I have absolutely NO IDEA about plumbing. He truly went above and beyond. I'll request Fredi specifically in the future.

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
Discount Plumbing

Scotty is still the best plumber in town!! He replaced the entire guts of both toilets in my condo. This included replacing both wax seals, bowl gaskets, tank bolts, and fill valve kits (contractor series since high rise condos require at least 80 PSI). He had to make two trips to a plumbing store and Home Depot since older toilets need a different size bowl gasket. Thankfully, he was able to find it in stock. In addition, he replaced both chrome p-trap kits under both bathroom sinks. Another great job by Scotty!

Incredibly expensive for what it is. A simple 5 min job to connect a tube from A to B cost $200! That's just exorbitant. I will say that their receptionist was polite and communicated very well. The plumber arrived on time, was very polite and he did a great job communicating the schedule and the process and making sure I didn't have any questions. He even put on booties in the home so my floors wouldn't get dirty.

It's just that it's soooooo^^^ expensive for the work. I will never use them again because their pricing is not competitive. If they hadn't bilked me for $200 in this first 5 minute job, they probably would've had my repeat business forever. :(

EDIT: After speaking with the owner, I'd like to highlight a few things:
1) The high price relative to the job being done can be explained by this being a small business with a lot of overhead that serves to provide you with the great customer service and professionalism that I experienced (i.e. you will see technicians that actually show up and show up on time and back their work.)

2) However, they do not seem to take criticism well about the prices being high. The owner said he understood and yet continued to defend and justify and not actually change anything or offer any sort of compromise or discount. Seemed to think that this review was unfair and offensive even though I haven't stated anything false or emotionally biased in my review. The owner also seemed to think it was unfair for me to state my personal opinion on the price. I think he said something to the effect of unfair to post your opinions based on your budget. That's what Yelp is!!! A place for people's opinions on businesses. Yelp is not a place of professional critics...it's personal opinions from peers...and readers of Yelp read these reviews and glean what they will from them. (Sorry, didn't mean to rant, I'm just starting to feel like I am noticing things in my conversation in hindsight that were slightly passive-aggressive and overly defensive)

3) In any case, they are very polite and nice and they seem to strive toward excellent customer service and professionalism. Just remember you will be paying the price for the service and all the behind the scenes stuff that happens to guarantee you a smoother experience.

These guys were great at assessing and solving our problem (mainline clog). They were very thorough and hydrojetted the pipe all the way to the city sewer and showed me the video identifying the problem areas that may need repairs in the future. They spent a few hours working on the job and remained patient and thoughtful all the way through (which is impressive considering the nature of the task). Price ($875) was much better than some other estimates. Highly recommended!

Joseph is AWESOME. When you call, he answers in person instead of deferring to an answering service. I had an emergency and he was at my house within 2 hours. He does great work at a VERY REASONABLE PRICE. He was in and out in less than 2 hours and that included a trip to Home Depot for parts. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We've used First Chicago Plumbing a few times and have always had a great experience. Their customer service is quick, responsive and friendly. We had a blocked drainage line backing up in our basement. They moved things around to  come out the same day we called and their pricing was fair. They aren't the cheapest but we've used other services and you get what you pay for. They were upfront about their pricing. Will definitely use them again.

I have used these guys three separate times  (including 2 emergency plumbing issues) and they have been fantastic.  Each time I have called and left a message, heard back immediately and someone has arrived at our door step within the hour.  Guys are friendly, knowledgable and reasonably priced.  Very trust worthy.   They have fixed a toilet that had been leaking water all over the floor, replaced a kitchen faucet, repaired a running toilet and a shower handle.  We haven't had any problems since.

When I sent out the very helpful group message to 9 different plumbing services, thanks Yelp, they were the first to contact me. Once they did they were nothing but professional, courteous, reasonable and proficient. They had my drains running faster then they had at any previous time during my home ownership. I'll be calling them for all of my plumbing needs. This father and son team is fantastic!

Dan was fantastic.  Incredibly competent and nice, took the time to show my husband and I the mechanism that was causing the issue in our drain. We both would highly recommend this company and Dan.

My highest possible recommendation. Mike, the owner, Is incredibly responsive. For the second time in two years, our basement flooded because of old plumbing (on Memorial Day when no one was working). Last year, Danny came out to the house and, with careful and skilled analysis, was able to diagnose the issue. Fast forward a year later... the same problem. Mike and Danny fit us in right away, working late, and were able to resolve our issue. Danny took the time to explain the issue, provide recommendations for mitigation, and on routine maintenance. On top of all that, Danny could resolve our issue without damaging our basement floor, which would have been an easy way out. Danny could have also oversold us unnecessarily add-ons but was mindful of our emergency and treated us like neighbors. It saved us time and money and helped out when we needed it. These are good people! I have no affiliation with Midwest Hydro, but as long as Danny and Mike are there, I'll be a Midwest Hydro fan and loyal customer.

These guys were AMAZING. Called at 11am on a Saturday and they had a guy out here by 230pm. He quickly figured put the issue and was super knowledgeable about my tankless unit. These guys are the total package. They respond quickly and have rates that arent trying to bleed pockets. Huge shout out to Ronnie who came out and assessed the situation in minutes and also gave some insight on how horrible my contractor was which was very well needed. He even explained how some of my systems worked for me since my contractor never said a word to me. My contractor never installed a drain kit on my tankless water heaters. Rooters, Ronnie, will be back to install these for me at a great price. I will never call another plumber again. I will recommend these guys to anyone I know.

Darrell and Nel got to my house less than an hour and a half after my initial call.   They quickly fixed our electrical issue.     Excelent service.

He replaced under kitchen sink drain pipe very happy with it he got all the material, done in one day..I'm glad a hired a professional than my bf lol got the job done right

I had a really bad clog in my bathtub and contacted CJ Plumbing on a Monday evening. The next morning I spoke to Dmitry and within two hours Lenny came to the rescue.  Lenny knew exactly what to do and used everything in his toolbox to eventually clear the drain, it wasn't an easy one.  He was also very professional, friendly and was a good sport about my dogs barking at him.  I appreciated the very quick turnaround and while the cost was within budget, I wish I had gotten a rough estimate from Dmitry up-front. I should have known to ask ahead of time, but had forgotten.  
I will definitely call them again for any plumbing issues!

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!

Juan and company were great. Contacted them using Yelp and he was out here the next day with a free estimate. He was able to start immediately which was also helpful and unexpected.
They fixed a severely clogged sink. Some copper water piping replacement that was showing signs of corrosion. Inspected what I thought was a severe leak that only turned out to be a slow leaking outdoor faucet. Even took the time to give me a helpful tutorial on adjusting the water level for my sump pump.
Keeping his info handy for our future needs. Would highly recommend.

Noel came to my home quickly to examine a drainage problem. Unfortunately he did not have his rodder with him (it was not his fault as I had given him some bad information), so he could not assist me. But he was really gracious about it. Strikes me as a guy who works hard and charges a fair price.
