Best Plumbing Services in Illinois

The water heater at my rental property failed and my tenants woke up to cold water and water pouring from the tank.  I took a chance with All-Star based on reviews and am extremely pleased with their performance.  They gave me an honest quote and then a discount for replacing the second identical water heater that was also at the end of it's service life.  Vinnie was a complete professional and had the new units installed and running so the hot water was back by the time everyone came home from work.  I've had mixed experiences finding honest, quality contractors in Chicago, so it's a relief to know there's a plumbing company out there I can trust.  I highly recommend them.

I was very happy with their installation of my Rheem hybrid heat pump water heater. It was kind of complicated and I was having a hard time finding someone to install it. They did it quickly and at a good price. Thanks again.

Could not be any happier with the experience that we had with Mo! We just bought a home and had a number of projects that we needed completed, and Mo was on time for the appointment and had all of the tools necessary for everything needed. He also wore his mask the entire time, was thorough, professional, and one of the nicest people we've met!

We had a really hard time finding someone to come out and help with the projects in our new home (new toilet installation, switching out the washer and drier, caulking several areas, and fixing a few minor issues). Larger companies rescheduled on us twice, so we decided to go with Mo and I'm extremely happy with did.

You will be too!

Reliable, respectful, knowledgeable, prompt and trustworthy. Thank you! Will call again for any future needs!

They are hands down the best.

Came when they said they would.  Gave us an accurate assessment, worked without disrupting our household, and they men who came couldn't have been nicer!

This company is awesome. Trent responded to late night Yelp messages instantly, estimated a great price and had Trinidad Rivera at my door at 9am as promised. Trinidad was in & out in 10 minutes while fixing the problem. Trent & Trinidad are both very nice in addition to the great service performed. Would absolutely use them again and recommend this company.

The recent cold snap caused a pipe to blow.  I woke up at 6:00 am on Dec. 27 and found water that was ankle deep throughout the entire basement.  When I called Reeg, they called back within a half hour.  They asked if I had to turn off the water to the entire house.  I answered yes since the leak was behind a wall.  I can imagine how many calls they received throughout that weekend over Christmas weekend for burst pipes.  It was obvious they were doing triage to get to the people who had no water.  Reeg was out that day to stop the leak and at least get the main water back on.  I'm letting the wall and all the rest of the basement dry out, then will call Reeg back to finish the job.  They were great.

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience with Chicagoland handyman. I was looking for a handyman to complete a few projects in my home. The repairman that I initially spoke with over the phone was super responsive and very polite.

I was so impressed by the Yelp reviews and by the phone call that I immediately scheduled an appointment with him. After I finished setting up the service appointment we discussed the time, location, and other details. I immediately placed an order from my local hardware store and to have all the items (appliances) shipped to my home.

The day before the scheduled appointment the repairman messaged me that he made a mistake and that he was supposed to schedule my appointment for the following day. He also mentioned that I did not send him a deposit to lock in my appointment as if I lost the appointment due to not paying him a deposit. I was confused! We never discussed a deposit or a deposit amount when I spoke with the handyman over the phone. I did not see the other Yelpers reference in their post anything about Zelle quick paying their repairman for a deposit. I thought something was odd I immediately thanked him for his time and told him I would not need his company to complete the repairs!

We needed a quick job of capping off some existing plumbing in our new basement, and these guys were awesome. Oscar was extremely responsive and on top of communication. He got one of his plumbers out quickly and worked within our schedule, and the plumber we worked with was professional and knowledgeable. Got the job done in 30 minutes. I highly recommend!

We've used Preferred Plumbing before and always have found them quick to respond with great service. However, after today's encounter with them, I wanted to take time to leave a review. I failed to get the plumber's name, but initials on the invoice are MJ.

Late last night I was cleaning out cabinets and tossing various items into my garbage disposal. Without too much thought, I poured in a half bag of dry black beans. After awhile, the sink stopped draining and I knew I'd made a huge error in judgement. I scooped out a lot of the now chopped black beans in hopes that would do the trick. Also suctioned out all of the extra water in the sink, and tried a plunger ... all fails! Fessed up to my husband who called Preferred Plumbing.

I was NOT looking forward to facing the plumber with my confession. One other time, I'd stopped up the disposal with flower stems (thinking they were like vegetables) and had gotten a friendly lecture from the plumber (not from PP). However M. J. could not have been nicer or more professional. Never once did he reprimand my error in judgement. He was pleasant while he took apart the drain (which was totally clogged with now hardened black bean pieces). When I apologized again he jokingly said that he'd heard that garbage disposals are a plumber's best friend and that I was not alone in all of this. He was friendly, efficient, cleaned up everything and when I offered him a tip for his positive attitude, he tried to refuse it. It was truly a pleasure working with him. He made a very positive impression on me (and I'll try not to dispose of other items just to see him in the future!).

A mason jar was lodged in our garbage disposal, and in trying to get the garbage disposal off myself, was not able to reinstall it.

I called Dominick who said he could come out in a 1-hour timeframe, but would have to rely on my tools to get the job done.

Dominick arrived and took care of reinstalling our garbage disposal and also clearing out the mason jar glass that had shattered within it. He was incredibly quick and efficient with his work, completing the job in less than 45 minutes and having done the reinstallation with the limited tools that I had.

I will definitely be calling Dominick the next time I need any type of plumbing done, and cannot recommend him enough.

They always come to help my business! They do an amazing job, they are so honest and come quickly when I need someone last minute. I would highly recommend them to any business looking for an honest quick fix to your plumbing problems! Thank you Red Hot Plumbing!

Patrick and his crew were on time, efficient,  thorough and personable! My toilet and bathtub were backed up due to a broken drain pipe that he had to dig a 4 feet trench along the side of the house to take care of.  I am thankful for this company's services! I will use them again for my next project.

My kitchen sink was leaking badly right before Xmas. Quick response & instructions. He was able to fit me in before the winter storm so I had a new garbage disposal in time for all the Holiday cooking I planned. Very satisfied and would highly recommend!

I called for a simple job at 11AM on a weekday. They secretary stated they can come out immediately but they are charging overtime, you know time and a half. Would you still like our service. NO Ma'am. SCAM! SCUM! RIPOFF! STAY AWAY!

Totally awesome experience.  Inside people Erin and Morgan were polite and knowledgeable and the installers were awesome.
They were on time and cleaned up after.
Quote was right on the money.

I don't usually post reviews but given the technical
Incompetence of this company and the unnecessary headache this cost me I felt compelled to warn others.

I wasn't getting enough hot water in my house so I called these guys to take a look. They did an inspection and told me nothing was wrong. In fact they pointed out an error on my part in how I was using the shower faucet. This cost me about $300 - a tad expensive but it was my fault so I didn't complain. Everything was working great again!

They then recommended I have someone clean/service my tankless water heater as it needs to be done annually. During that process they inexplicably disconnected the small (second) water heater I had downstairs. They said I didn't need it. I trusted they were the experts so agreed.

From that moment forward it was a disaster - the showers upstairs would run cold after two minutes. This issue didn't happen until AFTER they serviced the upstairs tank and disconnected the second tank. I called them back out. At the same time my furnace broke so I asked them to take a look at the furnace while they were here.

Tony said he figured out the issue the cold and hot water pipes were mixing. I asked if it could be anything to do with the previous gentleman messing with the other water tank and disconnecting something. He quickly shot me down that this wasn't related. He said we would need to rip up the ceilings and walls of my house to find the location of the mix and it would cost between $20k and $40k.  My home isn't even a year older btw.

The furnace he said we needed to order all these parts that were broken. Again the furnace isn't even a year old.

In the end I did what I should have done all along. I called another HVAC specialist and another plumber.

The 1st company told me immediately that it was a super easy fix for the heat. A spider crawled into the furnace and was disrupting the flame pattern. It took literally 10 mins to fix and cost $89. I asked him about the super expensive parts that Tony told me needed to be replaced. He just shook his head and laughed. He assured me NOTHING needed to be replaced - it's a brand new furnace.

Next the other plumbers came out. My instincts were right - during the servicing I had been sold the week before they had indeed opened a valve causing cold water from the kitchen to mix with the rest of the house.  Turns out I didn't need $40k worth of work - just five minutes and $129  for someone to fix what this company caused!!

This has been an absolutely disastrous encounter.  The people at the company were pleasant but completely and utterly incompetent. I am not posting this review to be nasty but simply to warn other unsuspecting customers to give these guys a miss.

Edit to respond:

** You charged me over $500 in total for the first two trips. It would be crazy to charge me the 3rd time considering you created the issue.

Secondly, as stated another company fixed the problem in 10 minutes and confirmed that it is was because of what you did. That hardly seems like bad plumbing to me.

Finally, the fact that you respond in a hostile way to your customers on a public forum doesn't reflect well on you. Just thank people for their feedback and try to do better. Feedback is a gift!!! **

i have used Szabo a couple times in the past. i think they are a first class outfit. having said that,        around the first of December i called to have a humidifier replaced on my furnace this was a direct replacement. same as what was on there. i sent tech pix of unit as requested. i was quoted $800.00 to do job i declined. i decided to do it myself how hard could it be? direct replacement. well it took me about one hour .i got a new in the box on EBAY for $175 with shipping $225.00.i think this is  way out of line. close to $400.00 an hour. any way you look at it.i post this not out of meanes but to warn cust.

Update!  When the backflow valve was installed, I put a camera in my front window to document the whole process.  When the owner learned of this, he asked if he could have a copy of the video for his own marketing purposes.  I said sure, even made a time-lapse of the footage for him.  He said he'd give me a free cleanout (annual maintenance) in exchange.

Well the time came to schedule the annual cleanout, and despite my previous issues with 4S Plumbing, I figured I may as well cash in on that free cleanout.  I contacted 4S and scheduled the work, and the guy who came out was a contractor who had his own processes and knew nothing about the deal I had with 4S.  He gave me an invoice, I wrote him a check, and hoped the owner would honor his word.

I even texted him about it.  He said he never got the footage.  So I resent him the link, again hoping he'd figure out how to download it and...honor his word.

Well you can probably guess where this is going...sure enough, that check got deposited, and no further word from 4S about my alleged free cleanout.

This company is trash.  Avoid at all costs.
