Best Plumbing Services in Illinois

We were dealing with a problematic garbage disposal unit that simply refused to turn on. I called Drain-EEZ Plumbing hoping they could send someone over, and had the best service experience ever.

The problem with the unit was essentially diagnosed over the phone and I was given a quick walk-through about how to troubleshoot on my own. I can't say how grateful I am for this! Someone else would almost likely have charged us $100-$200 to fix what turned out to be a five-minute problem. But Drain-EEZ turned me into a customer-for-life. Next time we have any problem whatsoever, these are the only folks I'm going to call!

I've been in Chicago for 15 years and dealt with a number of crappy plumbers. There's a lot of frauds in a city like this and a good plumber you trust is harder than you think to find. Mac is the best I've ever dealt with by far. I had Mac install a check valve for me and he beat everybody's price and was respectful of my house and cleaned up after himself (something very few plumbers do). I asked a few questions about a few other plumbing issue around the house, he took a look and fixed without hesitation. Easy fixes but he could have charged me and didn't.

Recently had a water heater go out & Mac walked me through how to properly drain it over the phone and stop the damage...something the other guy who was called was willing to come out and do for $175. Next day at 8am he installed a great unit for a great price.

I trust him and I think you will too.

Pete and Noah stopped by today to fix a leak in my bathroom. They were very professional, quick and did an amazing repair. I would highly recommend Rescue Plumbing. Thanks Pete and Noah!

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

It's not easy finding a good plumber but super glad we had a good experience with Scotty. The gentlemen is knowledgeable, inquisitive, listens, and gets to work. He is able to anticipate the problem, explain it directly, and offer suggestions and tips for maintenance.

It was a very good all-around experience and I wouldn't hesitate to call on him in the future. Thanks Scotty.

ROCKET PLUMBING is the BEST! SAM and Ben did an absolutely splendid job completing a new hot water heater installation. The job was done very expeditiously in a short time frame working in an extremely small utility closet. SAM and Ben were very meticulous sweating-in the copper pipes as well as a very thorough cleanup.
I would wholeheartedly recommend ROCKET PLUMBING for any plumbing projects!

I found Chicago Sewer And Drain Professionals from a Yelp search. My neighbor had water leaking into her unit, and I needed help identifying what was causing the leak and fast service. I loved this company because they were highly professional and quick to respond. The owner had excellent phone etiquette and answered my call right away. I called around 6 am, and the company came out around 9 am the same day. I wasn't 100% if the company did plumbing in bathrooms because the page is marketing as sewers; however, they did. The company identified that my bathroom faucet needed to be replaced, and they would not find the exact model I already had. The faucet was replaced, and I was delighted with the service.

I'm removing a star because the price was not competitive, and I believe I was overcharged. For the level of service and quick turnaround, the control should demand a competitive price, but I was charged ~$350 for the service and $417 with parts. The company did not overcharge me on the pieces because I went to Home Depot the next day and saw comparable prices. The average cost to replace a faucet in Illinois ranges from $150-$350, and I was charged on the higher end of the estimate. Also, I was told I had two bad water valves, which would be an additional $600. I opted not to change the valves by Chicago Sewer And Drain Professionals and had another plumber come out the next day. The second company informed me that I only needed one value replaced and charged me $50. That is a dramatic price difference. Also, the second plumber told me that he could use the old knobs from my previous faucet so I wouldn't have to change the double faucet to match. I wish  Chicago Sewer And Drain Professionals would have shared that option because I discarded the old parts out.

I would recommend quick, professional service, but be aware  of their pricing model.

Jose and crew were fast and clean. Great customer service. Came back to check a problem that was not of their doing.

Wasted my time and money and didn't solve the problem. Frankly I expected top service for the prices they charge ($250 just for diagnosis). They looked at my water heater and quickly concluded that I needed a new pilot assembly. They made me wait a few days because they didn't have the part, and wanted an additional $285 to replace a $35 part. I didn't have a good feeling about the training/experience of these plumbers and I was proven right. The part they replaced wasn't even the problem. They called the manufacturer and were told that it might be the gas valve. All along they did not know how to diagnose the problem by themselves. They relied on the manufacturer for advice both times. Then they offered me to replace the whole unit for $1,680 but at this point I was not interested on their overpriced and unreliable service. In the end I did decide to replace the water heater but I hired a different company who did it for a much more reasonable $300 plus the cost of the water heater.

While this wasn't a perfect experience, I was happy with Sound Plumbing.  Originally I sent a picture of the cast iron flange in a guest bath I needed repaired and they gave me a quote.  When it came time for my appointment, they called and asked if they could come an hour early.  I rearranged my day to accommodate... then waited half an hour past the earlier time they were supposed to come.  But when they did show up, the guys were friendly and professional.  Got straight to work.  Being nice to my overly-friendly dog made up for the lateness.  They installed a new flange, and it was so well done we joked about not setting the toilet at all so I could just show guests the flange.  However they did slightly chip the tile, and if anyone looks closely enough the chip is visible even with the toilet installed.  Then I got the bill, which was almost 3x as much as I was quoted.  At no point was I informed about the cost going up so much.  The owner did review the bill for me, explained why it had been more than expected, and brought the price down to meet me somewhere in the middle.

Ultimately the work was as beautiful as a closet flange can be and these guys are clearly good at what they do.  And I completely understand that a cast-iron flange in a 100 year old building gave them more trouble than your average repair.  I would probably even use Sound Plumbing again, because the guys were great.  But I have to dock a star for asking me to rearrange my day to show up early, then not showing up much earlier.  And for the fact that no one told me either before, during, or after the repair that it was going to cost so much more than I'd been quoted, until I got the bill.  I really appreciate the owner working with me on the cost, but I feel like you should be warned at some point if the bill is going to be more than 10-20% over.  And DEFINITELY if it's going to be 300% of the quote.

I have submitted a request for a quote from 5 plumbing companies on Yelp for unclugging Toilet and checking water pressure in the toilet for my tenants.  Jesus came out to be the most reasonable for the job. I got a message from my tenant saying Jesus came out the next morning and checked everything and said there is no clog and has tested the toilet and water pressure seemed ok.  He did not charge a penny. Said I didnt really do anything.  I am sure any other company would have charge a minimum fee to just come out.  He has got to be the most honest plumber I have ever met. I will definitely contact him again for any future plumbing needs.  THANK YOU JESUS.

I was very happy with Tim's work yesterday.
My toilet wasn't flushing, kitchen sink was clogged, one of my bathroom faucets was leaking, my bathroom sink was also leaking somewhat.
Tim fixed all of the above under 2 hours and the price was very reasonable.
I would highly recommend their services.
Great work. Thank you.

Grease trap for my 15 unit condo building was completely full and needed pumping and hydro jetting.
The guys came out with their commercial duty truck and was able to complete the job in less than an hour.
The price was very fair in comparison to the estimates I received from other companies.
They did a good job and I shall use them again in the future.

The toilet handle broke & the flusher needs to be replaced. Adam Avizius was great， showed up on-time & was very friendly. Explained to me what was needed & the cost of repairs. Had one part wasn't in stock, he was kind enough to ran to the store to get the part & installed everything. Loved the service. Price was very fair. Highly recommend Adam.

Monday morning I sent messages to a few electricians re: replacing light fixtures in our house. Within 10 minutes, I got a message from Darrell about the service call. He called me to get details about the issues, and was ready to buy the lights (instead of me going out to purchase them) and install them the same day. I wasn't available so he said he'd come the next day. He confirmed with me the next morning and visited a few Home Depots to find the fixtures we wanted. He then arrived early, was very professional and polite, and completed the job without any delays. He cleaned up the areas in which he worked, and removed his tools without any disruption.

The lights look great and the rate was reasonable. The work was fast and professional. We'll be calling them again for a rewiring estimate/job. I would definitely recommend Sims and Sons Electric and Plumbing!

The plumber was on time, he was courteous and even covered his boots with booties so as not to track into our house. He took pictures of the work and showed it to me when the job was finished. The internet said the job would take a few hours, he was done in 40 minutes. He cleaned up nicely. You wouldn't even know he had been there.  
So far, the repair of our toilet has held up and I expect it will. Should we need a plumber again, ABV will be our first call.

We had a series of plumbing tasks that needed to be done and we were disappointed in the experience that we had with another plumber in the area. Reviewing yelp and other resources, we felt that CJ plumbing and heating was the next firm we wanted to try out. Lenny was our assigned plumber and he did a fantastic job. He reinstalled three toilets in our home and replaced the associated shut off valves, giving us confidence that we would be ready for the holidays.  He arrived within 4 minutes of the appointment, used booties to protect our floors, wore a mask to protect our mutual health, cleaned under the toilets before reinstalling them and left everything spotless. Every detail was taken care of. The owner checked in with me to verify I was satisfied and I couldn't find a thing to nitpick. They're not cheap but they are clearly one of the best craftsmen in the area. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Mike the Plumber was punctual, resourceful & fast! A real Pro! If I ever need another plumber - Mike the Plumber will get the call!

Juan is the only plumber provided the estimate of the water heater model that I wanted.  He arrived on schedule and performed the installation.  The unit was defective, not Juan's fault, where he called Rheem to expedite the part.  The part arrived the next day and Juan came the following day and got my new water heater resolved.
Recommend A&Y Plumbing and Juan is responsive and provide good service.

Noel came on short notice, worked hard, and got the problem solved in a timely manner. A friendly guy who is dedicated to his task. Price was reasonable, too.
