Best Plumbing Services in Illinois

I've worked with Pat and Lou three times now and while I hate having to call them (who wants to have plumbing issues?), I'm always glad I did.

I'm a small time landlord who owns a couple 2-flats in Chicago that are over 100 years old and the most painful thing about property of that age is plumbing.

Building #1, Issue #1: A water leak from the second floor unit bathroom into the first floor bathroom ceiling. Lou came out and discovered that the second floor toilet was leaking and not properly mounted. He replaced the wax ring and as a bonus discovered why the tub wasn't draining properly. During the process, Lou explained everything he was doing and shared stories about nightmare plumbing jobs he's seen in his career. Not only is this a guy I completely trust with my plumbing issues, he's the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with as well.

Building #1, Issue #2: The sink from the second floor bathroom had a drain leak that hid itself until we tore open the ceiling of the first floor bathroom to remediate the mold caused from issue #1 above. Lou came out again and fixed this leak, replaced supply lines that were installed completely incorrectly, and did a preventative re-plumb of the tub drain to ensure nothing could possibly leak again. The supply lines leaked a bit after the job was complete, but   Lou came out again and fixed it at no charge ASAP. I really want to emphasize this. Another company would have taken their time coming out or would have found a way to charge me for the repair. Lou came out to fix it immediately and did not charge us for the visit.

Building #2: This issue has been giving me nightmares since I purchased the property in summer 2015 and Pat (the owner) is the only plumber who took the time to really think about a solution. The previous owners used a handy man to design the plumbing of a unit where multiple drains were tied together improperly. This made rodding next to impossible because the rod would come up in different drains rather than going down the drain. Other plumbing companies wanted to charge me $288/hr (AFTER a referral discount) to open walls JUST to see what they could see. Think about the additional expenses I would have had after that: additional plumbing costs, drywall repair, tile repair, etc.

Pat came by and thought about the problem, conducted different drain experiments, and ultimately tried rodding through a different fixture with a heavier rod. He was able to get to the drain and was very thorough about testing the various drains as the rodding process was taking place. After the problem looked resolved to me, he kept rodding the line until we saw a healthy flow of water in my catch basin. A previous plumber had me run a faucet, checked the catch basin, and concluded that my sewage didn't run to it because he didn't see water entering the basin. WRONG. He didn't see flow because it was so badly clogged! Only Pat took the time and effort to diagnose and fix the problem.

These guys are great. They're not cheap, but don't expect them to be. If you want someone to care about your problem, you should expect to pay them for their thoughtfulness and expertise.

WHAT FANTASTIC, AND GREAT SERVICE!  Called them and within 2 hours or so had a new hot water heater installed!  He is very careful with the COVID virus too....wearing masks and sanitizing his hands and equipment!  FASTPLUMBING247 has now done two hot water heaters for me!  WHAT GREAT SERVICE AND VERY FAIR PRICING!!!   I TRUST THEM TOTALLY!

Bob came out to my rental super fast super nice, was HONEST and up front that all we needed to do was reset the garbage disposal. I was thinking to remove the disposal and repipe it but he said it's working fine and done need to spend $500 to do that! We have a few rental properties and I just found my life long plumbers! Happy thanksgiving to the entire Rescue plumbing team.

They were respectful and did a great job fory Granny. I'll call you guys anytime.

Highly recommend Scotty - he was very responsive to emails and it was easy to schedule an appointment, although I caught him during a busy period.  He was prompt to the appointment, even gave me a call when he was 30 mins away.  His plumbing work was good as was the pricing. While my issue was relatively minor in scope, I would trust him for any job.

Will be using him again and highly recommend his services, although I hope I don't have to anytime soon!  Knock on wood....

These guys are just the best. Mike came quickly (with friendly co-worker also named Mike) and did a great job. Immediately understood the issue and fixed my gutter/surface drain perfectly. Whew. Highly recommend!

Responsive.  On time for appointments.  Crew was friendly and knowledgeable; they explained the work before and after.

So happy I found a plumber I will call again. Wonderful all around!!! I had a party over the weekend which resulted in a toilet that would only flush if I manually lifted the lever. First thing Monday morning, I filled out a request quote and within minutes I had an email asking me some follow up questions and to send pictures if I could. I immediately responded and very quickly I had another email from Windy City plumbing which told me that my toilet needed to be replaced and they offered a recommendation for what kind to buy. I was also given a quote for what it would cost for Windy City Plumbing to install it. I went and bought a toilet from Home Depot and on the way called some other plumbers to get quotes- all the other quotes where far more than Windy City Plumbing. I contacted WCP and made an appointment. On the day of the appointment I was told they would be at my place between 12 and 1 PM. Right after 12:00, I got a call from Chris that they were at my building. The two guys were so great- nice an made me feel very comfortable. They brought the toilet I purchased up 3 floors to my condo and brought the old one down with no extra charge. They finished the job fast and did an amazing job. They also charged me the quoted price- nothing more. I'm so excited to have found this company and have already recommended them to family and friends in the area.

First Chicago Plumbing is great! They responded right away when I contacted them. I've used them twice now and they did a great job both times. Once for my toilet which was making a loud noise when flushing. The second for a leak we had in the kitchen sink. They came right away and fixed the leak and replaced the old faucet with the new one I'd purchased. They are honest and will not pull a fast one.
I'd recommend their business to anyone.

Kevin replaced 2 toilets and 2 faucets.  Was responsive and timely and left the house in great shape.  Highly recommended!

Jesus was great! He was honest, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. He hunted down our issue (which wasn't plumbing related) within the first five minutes and didn't charge us a cent for his time (others wanted to charge us $95 just for walking in the door). He's got a client for life now. Highly recommend.

I called Green Tech after my basement flooded several inches and my sum-pump was dead. I initially had someone else coming out who did not have the right materials. Green Tech worked me into their schedule and was out within a few hours. Within 30 minutes of them coming, they replaced the sum-pump. They were extremely friendly, professional, and organized. They even gave us recommendations on what floor restoration company to go with. We ended up using that flood restoration company, and they were fantastic too! Highly recommend Green Tech. Thank you Kevin and your team!

Had a kitchen sink clog well past the P-trap that I spent hours trying to fix myself with several trips to the hardware store.  Danny and Alex came out the next day and fixed it without an issue.  Very friendly people and did a great job, cleaned up the water and junk that came out of the pipes so I didn't have to ruin my towels doing it myself.  Also very reasonably priced compared to other quotes.

Thanks again!  You'll have my business again next time (hopefully won't need a next time though!)

Contacted them on Yelp on Saturday and they were out to clean my sewer lines out on Monday, right on time.
Fair price and they cleaned up any mess they made. Well worth the phone call and they honored the estimate they gave through yelp

Darrell and Anel came by quickly and looked at a few electrical items. I was really impressed by their honesty and thoroughness. They did a great job and if I ever need more electrical or plumbing work, Sims and Sons will be the first company I'll call.

I like i got a Quote on Yelp instead of being told they cant give a price without someone coming to the house and then you are potentially wasting days and then you get a too high quote but feel pressured to go with them, so when i got a quote from ABV and thought it fair i made a appointment and they came the next day.

Extremely poor communication. Dmitry wanted to handle everything through text (which is completely fine) and I sent him all the details and pictures I could. He said he was good with the info I sent but his estimate on the work was very vague so I asked for clarity and didn't get any. I then asked if he could email the details and proposal to me, he said Saturday which was 4 days away. i understand he probably has other jobs so I waited.
On Sunday still nothing...followed up saying I want to move forward with the work based on the initial estimate but just need the detailed quote to make sure...he asked for home address and that was it. Monday I follow up again and then said he will send out a proposal once I confirm I am interested in scheduling and it still wouldn't get sent out for another day.
As you can see how frustrating the communication has been. Maybe he does good work once you get ahold of him and seems fairly priced as I compared to other plumbers but if you don't get a quote in a couple days after providing the scope of the job, just move on if you're hoping for something sooner than later
*response: again the issue is poor communication. I did tell Dmitry I was looking for service immediately and it took a week for them to tell me they are 4 weeks out. They did not offer in person, only a follow up call that was not even needed. Screenshot of that conversation is below.

I had a rocky toilet that was supposedly fixed by Chicagoland Handyman in June of 2022, but five months later the rocking was back. I searched for a plumber to fix this unsteady toilet once and for all. I called Mike the Plumber. He was able to come out the next day and was able to to stabilize my toilet. Mike the Plumber was very nice as he explained what the problem was and what he was going to do to fix it. He said if the rocking comes back (which it won't) he will tend to it. I will definitely call Mike the Plumber for any future plumbing issues in my old building. Thank you Mike!

Was responsive and came out quickly to make repairs to a damaged pipe. Very knowledgeable and professional. I will surely contact A&Y Plumbing from here on out. Highly recommend!

I have used Noel and Five Plumbing for jobs large and small, and he is simply the best. Workmanship is A+ and he couldn't be a nicer guy. Even during Covid, all precautions with masks and distancing were done spot-on. Highly recommend.
