Best Plumbing Services in Illinois

We just had Southtown plumbing replace our sump pump system, outdoor spigots and utility room faucet. They were prompt, very courteous and seemed very knowledgeable. They don't skimp on the components and recommend and use the best. They're not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Called on a friend's recommendation at 8 am. He was here by 9:30am. Respectful, honest , and clean work. So grateful! Highly recommend!!!

Joe was out today to tackle some things at our condo (newer construction).
In short, I stand by my review below!  Still the same excellent dude.
Also responds promptly through his answering service, and it's never a big scheduling issue to get him out.
NOTE: he doesn't want to do big remodeling jobs.  If you're just switching stuff out, or have repairs, he's your guy.  But check with him, you know?
PS: I ordered stuff from Algor plumbing in Cicero.  I get the discount since I'm working with a plumber & you can tell Pekny has serious cred at this place.

A must if you want quality, affordable, plumbing service.. Also they have great personalities, helps with other odd jobs... Will be recommending to all contacts..

Had received a quote from another plumber for my cabin in Three Oaks.  Thought it was somehwat high so decided to get a second quote before proceeding...so glad I did!  Not only was Goodman lower but my experience from initial call to on-site completion was top-notch on all.  Nick (owner) took time to explain the issues and even though they ran into an unexpected on-site issue (I actually had a 120v water heater versus a 220v), he was able to pivot immediately and get a new unit in and install it the very next morning in time for guests arriving following day.   Could not recommend this company enough - just an honest, efficient, professional small business that always make sure they have a happy and satisifed customer whatever it takes.  Thanks to Goodman team and will be recommending you to all the other owners at Lakeside Cabins!

I've turned to bob for help with a plumbing issue twice. He responds quickly and delivers great service

We needed help with removing our toilet and replacing the wax ring, but we didn't have the tool to cut a rusty screw. They were quick to respond to my initial call and flexible with coming later the following day when my husband was home from work. They arrived on time and were done very quickly, at an affordable price. Both men were polite, friendly, and social. We will definitely be saving their number for future needs!

Gus is the best, and we've tried a few. He is smart, punctual, proficient, conscientious, personable, and reasonable. We always call him first.

Very Professional and Friendly. Competitive prices. I called Cesar that day and he came out right away.

I've unfortunately had to use Glenbrook plumbing more that I would like, they've fixed many issues for me - including leaky faucets, faulty toilets, hot water heater replacement, ejector pump failure (2X), clogged toilets (I have boys that like to flush things down the toilet) and most recently a free standing tub with leaky pipes. Bill Jr. Bill Sr. And many of their employees did a fine job. Prices seem fair for the Northshore. They are prompt and dependable which matters most, especially in a plumbing crisis!

AVOID THIS BUSINESS BY ALL MEANS.  

I spoke with the owner Jason over the phone and scheduled an appointment for the next day regarding a sewer being backed up. He showed up the next morning on time which was the only plus. The experience after that was not so great though.

He cleared out the main sewage lines and a water line located behind the stove. Roughly 20 minutes after the work was done and he had left, the tenant called the whole basement had FLOODED.

I showed up to the unit and found the issue. Jason drilled a two inch hole into the water pipe so he could rod it out. The issue was he simply used regular tape to cover up the hole. I was shocked when I saw that a professional plumber would use tape to cover up a hole in a water pipe.

I called Jason immediately to explain the situation but was told he is on the other line and would call back. I did not hear from Jason so I called back an hour later and left a voicemail. It has been over a week and two additional voicemail's later, he still has not called back. Obviously he is avoiding contact by all means at this point.

The situation only gets better. One week after the work was done, the tenant called that the sewer was backed up again. I called another plumber and he had to come out and got the job done. I had to pay twice the amount because the job was not done the first time around.
Also, I like to point out I was quoted the day before a reasonable price. It was not until the work was completed did the owner Jason mention he performed extra work and charged $100 more from the original quote.

AVOID THIS BUSINESS BY ALL MEANS.

Caveat Emptor!!!!!
This is a real review from a real customer. First, let me say that they worked on the A/C, and I  have a contract with these guys to come out and check the furnace in the fall. I'll refuse service and they can keep the money. I'm just going to cut my losses while I'm ahead. At least the furnace works at this point. Now here's my experience, (and I told them I would Yelp):

A/C went out on a 90 degree day. I called this company, and I was called back and told that the repairman would not be able to get out that day. Business must have really been booming. I said OK. Of course I was going to call someone else, and I should have!

Suddenly my phone rings and amazingly the repairman can get out to me in 15 minutes. How lucky for me....right. Yes, lucky me. He arrived and everything in the world suddenly was wrong with the unit, but he just happens to have all the parts. Yes, lucky me. He said he would have the unit fixed in 15 minutes. Wow, lucky me! THE BILL CAME OUT TO $742 FOR  15 MINUTES OF WORK!!!! YES LUCKY.@#%$....ME!!

BUYER BEWARE!!!!

Do Not Hire this person!!!
We recently hired him for a small shower renovation. We paid him $4k and he never finished the job. We had 3 separate plumbers check his work and All of them said it was incorrect. We ended up paying someone else to finish the job correctly. He ghosted us and never responded to us after he took our money. HORRIBLE! Please Do Not Hire Him!!!

Public Plumbers was referred to us by a trusted professional in the plumbing business when we discovered a gas leak in our house. This was an emergency situation and they came out within an hour of calling. They were very professional and thorough! It took a long time because they were being very careful and making sure they got every leak. I was expecting a gigantic bill but it was reasonable, given the situation. Peoples Gas came back out to assess and said the plumbers did a great job- we got our gas turned back on. I highly recommend this business!
