Best Plumbing Services in Illinois

I had just closed on my house on 03/26/20 Wednesday, and then discovered a little puddle of water in my basement by the floor drain and furnace today, 03/28/20 Sat. I have not even moved in my house yet so I was freaking out. The home warranty company I purchased, American Shield Home Warranty, were horrible! When I called them to send a plumber, they said they would send one asap and have them call me. Well, I kept calling them, and gave up after waiting for three hours since no one would follow up on my service request.

So, I decided to do a google search for plumbers and found Mr. Burris' company. I decided to call them. Mr. Burris called me in less than an hour and asked what the problem was. When I told him the problem, he said that he was coming right away.

Not only did Mr. Burris diagnose the problem right away, he fixed it. The water turned out not to be anything major. Mr. Burris was honest and he did not try to advantage of me since I was a new homeowner. He went above and beyond his duty. He educated me on my heating, cooling, and plumbing system and that is priceless.

Thank God for Mr. Burris. I highly recommend him

Jake and Brandon came out extremely fast to remove and replace our well pump. He explained everything up front, and quoted me a approximate price and did the job fast and they even moved a heavy fountain that was in the way. Some others locally weren't as professional on the phone and even one came to the house in a argumentative mood. I had to send him away. Not Jake. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and won't hesitate to call him again. Excellent service/job.

Martin went above and beyond for a minor repair, he not only answered my call and gave me a same-day appointment (without upcharging like some do), he also arrived, looked at my bathroom hose, realized it needed replacement and not fixing, and that the company that provided my bathroom sink/hose also provides a lifetime warranty. He even offered to place the service call for me. But then he realized it might take a week to get it replaced by the company, and given it is the only bathroom I have, he said he will see if there are alternatives. 10 min later he calls me and tells me he went out to BestBuy he found the needed part and asks if it's ok to come back and replace. Now tell me if you ever had a handyman who also cares, well now you do. Thanks Martin!

This is a long-overdue review of an excellent business!  I've had them come for two jobs at my house: redoing closets and refinishing a cracked and peeling ceiling in the kitchen.  Both jobs were done flawlessly by workmen who were professional and friendly.  Compared to many conrators that take your money and do bad work, or take your money and leave a project half-finished (I've experienced both), these folks are conscientious, careful, and make sure that you're happy with the product. I will definitely come back with more work for them!

I had the back up sewer clogged
They were very responsive, very professional and affordable prices..
Thank you
I highly recommend this company

Professional, honest, and timely. Fantastic team to help problem solve my exterior drainage issues. Highly recommend this team.

I got an emergency call from my tenant screaming about water pouring into his closet. I called United Sewer and they picked up immediately and told me they'd be there within the hour. They were quick to diagnose the issue and were able to replace a p-trap to the upstairs unit all in the same day. They even went above and beyond to repair some other minor issues I was experiencing while they were there. Thomas and his team were great to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

The whole team was great with communication. The plumber arrived on time and was very knowledgeable. I'll definitely be using Excel Plumbing again!

Couldn't be happier with these guys. Have used them on multiple occasions for various jobs around the house. They're always able to send someone out quickly and they are always prompt, helpful and honest. Will def continue to use them in the future.

Thompson is THE BEST.  I've had multiple issues with various plumbing issues and they have always been responsive and attentive to everything that needed to be done.  If you are looking for an honest and trustworthy plumber they are the ones to call

I have been impressed from his professional demeanor, quick responses, on time arrival, honest assessment, and to help us make this more cost effective he volunteered some discount promotions, we didn't know were available, thus saving us additional money on the overall repair costs.

Plumbers tend to be one of the most dreaded repairs for our household. Keeley's Plumbing made me happily surprised.
Pre-appointment:  He responded very quickly to our request for a quote. After reviewing some pictures he gave a very reasonable and fair market quote.
He was available to complete the job within an acceptable time frame. We didn't have an immediate emergency (however it's darn inconvenient to turn on and off your kitchen water valve whenever you need to use kitchen sink) and some of his competitors were 2 weeks out.

On-site: He arrived within the agreed upon time frame and he called after evaluating his first appointment of the day with a more specific arrival time. On arrival he was genial, professional, and reassessed the situation.
He discovered something that would have been a much bigger problem under the dishwasher. This could have resulted in cabinet and hard wood floor damage had he not thought to check there.
In addition to the under dishwasher catch, he was very knowledgeable regarding the quality of products currently in the market place. Due to his knowledge he was able to fix versus replace one of the bathroom faucets. We had the new faucet on hand, and a previous eval advised us it was not fixable. Had this individual not been honest then we would not have known it was a fairly simple adjustment.
Then when everything was said and done he cleaned up after himself. No dust, grime, or trace that he replaced 3 joints under the sink, dishwasher connections, the main kitchen faucet, a bathroom faucet, and the plumbing mess was gone. Well done!!!!

Body Plumbing did  our City of Chicago Backflow Device testing for our house (we have a home sprinkler system).  He came in about half the price of a few other places we called.  He was on time, very nice and professional and did all the paperwork.  Highly recommended, great experience.

Needed to find a new Backflow inspection company for our home - as our previous vendor chose to shoot up prices beyond our budget.
I was very pleased to have discovered Chicago Backflow.
People I dealt with like Nick, Tiffany, Jessica - and our technician Alan are all superb.  I get the sense this company must be managed very well, because everyone has a very nice attitude and exudes warmth.
Alan showed up right on time at 7am (even with snow falling) and was efficient and had a very kind demeanor.
Price was appropriate.
I'll look forward to working with Chicago Backflow again on my annual inspection next year.  Thanks again, Mark S.

Back in April this year, I had an issue with my kitchen faucet where it all of a sudden stopped working.  The faucet was at least 10 years old, and was a cheap Delta model.  I needed to get a replacement, and called up a few plumbers in the Chicago area.  Other plumbers I talked to try to upsell me to buy specific faucets they carried, indicating that because they were solid brass they also came with the higher ticket price.  I also called The Plumbing Doctor (John), who was very helpful and had recommended Grohe faucets as a great reputable brand -- he also mentioned that the brand that the other plumber had tried to sell me was way overpriced for what they had quoted me.

John was very honest and open about faucets, and was fine even with me buying my own faucet.  I ended up getting a nice Kohler since it was in my budget, and John came by and quickly got it replaced within 45 minutes.  He did a very timely and clean job.  Would recommend him to others, as I'll be calling him back for any other plumbing needs!

I had a sink hole in front of my drive way and the city said it was because of my pipe. I called Roto rooter and numerous other rooter companies some other specialists all quoted me 20to25 k. Some asked for a fee to look. A neighbor left a card for north coast and boy was I grateful I found them! They came right away and quoted me 6k! I could not believe it! I hired them ASAP and they did the whole job in a few hours. Best service, great work and bottom line saved me more than 14k.!!! I highly recommend north coast sewer!!! Thank you

Daniel was great!! Very educated, professional, friendly, and took the time to explain all of the important details. A pipe froze in our basement and Daniel was over within 2 hours on a Sunday.  He even went over the steps of how to troubleshoot the problem on our own over the phone before he arrived. Would highly recommend to anyone needing plumbing services!

Pressure Pro was recommended to me by my property management company. The hot water pressure was low in my shower. He told me he would be here at 9:00 am and showed up on time. He was very friendly and out of here within 30 min. Very reasonable rates. My shower works great and I can't believe I waited so long to have it repaired.

The reviews on Yelp are much more consistent with my experience with J.Blanton plumbing than the reviews on Google. No trip charge and friendly service certainly wins people over. I hired J. Blanton plumbing to replace an O-ring at the bottom of a toilet a few years ago. This is a part which costs a few dollars. I sent a family member to oversee the repair because I had to work and somehow this turned into me being sold an entirely new toilet for $750. I had told them at the time I placed the call that I had a coupon $50 coupon. They didn't ask for it and didn't apply it. When I asked them to refund the amt of the coupon, I was told I could use it on a future service. So argued and threatened a negative review until they agreed to refund the amount of the coupon.  

Fast forward to yesterday. This past Sunday, I replaced the flush handle and flapper in a different apartment occupied by a tenant. Yesterday received a call from the tenant that the toilet wouldn't flush or fill at all. I felt bad that I had argued and called J. Blanton Plumping to give them some repeat business. (Terrible idea.)   They explained since it was the middle of the day, there'd be no emergency charge and could be there within a couple of hours. (Great!) When I asked for an estimate, they said, they charge by the project, not by the hour, and I would be quoted on site. Ok. About 90 minutes later I received a call from Shane Waycoff from JBP who informed me the bowl was not filling and I would need to replace the pump valve. I asked how we went from a broken flush handle a couple of days ago to needing a new pump valve and how much would that be.  (Obviously I assumed something about our installation hadn't been done correctly.) He said he didn't know how we got there, but it would be $702. (!!!) I said that was ridiculous and that this same thing happened to me before with this company - that I went from needing a $5 part to replacing the entire toilet. (My fault for calling them again.)  Shane then said because my toilet had old parts (photos of my NOT old toilet valve functioning perfectly below,) he could get me a whole new toilet for some obnoxious price over $1000. I said, no thank you to both services. I went by the apartment to check out the problem before trying to contact anyone else for repairs.  After a 15 second inspection, I could see the slack of the chain connecting the flush handle and the flapper was caught between the flapper and the drain pipe. I cleared the chain and adjusted it so there wasn't as much slack. The flapper shut over the drain securely and the toilet filled perfectly. This could have been an easy opportunity for them to get a raving positive review had Shane addressed the ACUTAL issue. I would have been happy to pay some fair amount for someone making the trip. Instead, that guy tried to charge me $700 for a repair I didn't even need!

So if you feel like you have money to burn on repairs and equipment you don't need and extorted for not being handy, call J. Blanton Plumbing.  I'll just wait for their rude response to my negative review now.
