Best Plumbing Services in Illinois

We had a clogged sewer line backing up from the floor drain where the washer drains into but also backing up from toilets.  We called them (Chicago Hts number but surely the same business) and like the Yellow Pages ad says, they were out within the hour.  The estimate was $250-275.  They rodded out the main line using the cleanout in the front yard and quickly the toilets were flushing smoothly.  

But not so the floor drain.  I had had some inklings that there was a clog very close by so it didn't totally surprise me that we actually had two clogs.  And, boy did they have to work to clear this one, finally having to remove the standpipe thing coming from the washer and even having to bring in the big machine they used outside.  (They were having to snake through a trap in the piping under the concrete slab floor to get to the clog.)  I asked if releasing that clog would potentially move on to reclog the mainline and true to their word, they went back outside and rodded the mainline all over again.  They explained what they were doing and why they would do it the way they did at every stage.

The floor drain clog took a lot more work than the mainline clog and they could have asked for double the quote.  In the end the tab came to $400 which is not cheap but I think for 2 men and the amount of time spent not only doing it but doing it right (so far as I could tell), it was reasonable.  Hopefully it all stays free running for a long time.  I would use them again when the time comes.

Great service - on time  Replaced an out door spigot, and Gary also recommended installing a shut off valve to prevent future problems.  He was courteous knowledgeable and left work area clean when finished.  
Have used B & A several times in the past whenever I have a plumbing issue.

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.

Excellent honest very fair priced old school plumber. He worked hard for four hours straight and the bill was 40 % less than the big company quotes plus when the job ran longer than expected because of the common snafus he stayed until 9pm to get it finished and cleaned up everything. Also has an easy going friendly personality. I couldn't be more pleased and am shocked he doesn't have many more reviews.

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!

He didn't even mock me for my own attempts to fix the problem. (to my face)

We have old galvanized pipes in some of our vintage home and they get difficult to clean out. I've been putting off fixing the slow drain (until it stopped draining altogether) because we are planning some remodeling and an addition this year. Just couldn't wait any longer.

I have extensive experience with plumbers... the honest guys and the really dishonest ones too.

Bob's a straight shooter. He's a nice guy too, but that's just an added bonus. It was a struggle but Bob stuck with it and got the job done. I also took the opportunity to talk to him about the plumbing and the potential fixes for the future. He had some ideas that I hadn't thought of that would save us a ton of time, money and mess.

When you find a good plumber, stick with him.

So, I'm happy.. it's Friday, worked out at my favorite gym today, hung out with my favorite wife (just kidding.. only have 1 of those) shopped at my favorite store and got my pipes cleaned... not necessarily in that order.

I'd call it a win.

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!

Repaired my warped Pergo flooring. Showed up on time. Nice job and reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

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

Had the clog of all clogs deep in the wall behind a sink. They were able to get the snake in, around a 90 degree turn 2 feet back in the wall, and open up the line.

I manage a portfolio of properties all over Chicagoland and Jason has been our go to plumber for all our plumbing. He charges a fair price, and is always available for questions. In the last 3-4 years I've probably had him work on 40-50 homes, and have always been pleased. I've recommended him to family, and other property owners(investors), and they've always been pleased.

Jeremy phoned when he was 5 min. away so I knew when he was coming.  He was very personable and professional. He fixed my furnace so I had heat again! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kings. ( Ask for Jeremy- he's great!)

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!!!

STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAMMERS!!
I called them for an estimate on changing a gasket in my bathroom. I was told that they charge $165 to come out and that will be for one guy and half hr. Its it takes longer than that, they need 2 guys and it will be around $400. Are you kidding me?
I called another plumber and he came our, fixed the gasket and did other work, was there for about 4 hrs and the charged me $195. Of course I gave him a little extra as I felt bad he did so much work. This guy is licensed and bond. I will be happy to refer him to anybody.
Public Plumbing blows!!!
