Best Plumbing Services in United States

I had some issues with (I thought) a sump pump.  Rocket Plumbing employee Tony comes out and claims it's a bad check valve and ejector pump after looking at it for 5 minutes.  How is the ejector pump bad when you don't even look at it?  

Anyways, I had to get approval from my land lord so I told him I'd call and schedule a time to do the work the next day.  He said, no problem, we can do that and leaves.

Well, Rocket Plumbing claims on their web site We actually pick up when you call!.  That's a lie.  I called later that same day and left a voice mail to confirm the time since they DIDN'T pick up.  Day turns into night and no return call.  The following day I take off work as I needed to get this fixed.  I called as soon as I woke up.  Guess what?  No answer.  Guess what else?  They never returned my second voice mail.

Needless to say I called a different plumber (The Plumbing Doctor) who came over and did great work.

I signed up for Yelp just to write this bad review because other's need to know how they do (and don't do) business.

Very fast and efficient. Friendly guys who were able to get everything done within hour slot even though they needed a part.

Thank heaven for YELP.  Had a leaking shower head and needed a plumber and didn't know where to start.  Found Windy City Plumbing on YELP and it really worked out.  Jose called and had me send a picture of the shower faucet so he wouldn't waste time coming out and then having to run to the store and charge for the time.  Brian actually came out and was honest enough to admit he hadn't done this repair before.  What a relief an honest plumber.  Had it fixed in 5 minutes.  Said he had to charge for a minimum of an hour and wanted to know if there was anything else we needed to have done.  Unbelievable!  GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!  What an amazing company!  Love 'em.  Would definitely use them again.  All this and reasonable rates.

Saved the day! I know it's Chicago and naturally there's more in the industry but still. For a fast on demand fix that's done professionally and without judgment, A+ 100% 6 STARS! Customer service recurrently first to respond and communicate with me via easiest method email phone text etc. Billing was a snap! Fast secure and safe via check or Chase Quick Pay with Visa or Mastercard (wouldn't accept Amex no complaints here as most in the industry charge the consumer a 3 pct swipe fee or offer cash discount, no haggling here. Sure I could have attempted to fix this broken toilet myself but when you are entertaining there's no time for discrepancies. Eugene and Atanas are the two most courteous I've met. Believe me even I would have pause over this small job due to odd birthday costumes etc. Lol. I suggest they offer a area for later follow up review with gratuity. Granted this job wasn't huge but I do firmly believe in gratuity if a jobs done above and beyond expectations and earlier than promised! I literally pulled up when they arrived on time they were done an hour earlier! That's critical to me having dealt with runaround etc. Again, if you want diy or cheap then go do it. If you want a firm solid number that doesn't have surprises, this is IT! THEY SAVED THE DAY!

After getting an outrageous quote for a leak repair in my master bathroom I found Kevin of Sound plumbing on yelp and called him immediately.  He came out and assessed the situation, talked me through how to remove old caulking (so I would save money on labor) and gave me a fair quote to fix the leak.  I definitely will be calling him again if any more issues arise in my condo.

Tried Angies list; all the call backs wanted to charge ($250-400) to even set foot in our house, and couldn't be there for days.

Jesus picked up quickly and was here in 2hrs, at no charge.  Listened and understood our issues, and had solutions for everything. Ended up needing to break concrete and replace an offset pipe in the basement. Can't convey how much work they did in such a short period of time.

Pricing was super reasonable, and he guarantees his work.  His crew were extremely pleasant, and left the place spotless.  Never calling anyone else.

COVID note: these guys wore their masks and gloves the entire time. We've been hesitant to have people work on the house since quarantine. No surprise these guys were very professional about it, without even asking.

Great Company!! My in-laws (who are senior citizens), had a toilet that backed up and called another company to come out and fix the problem.
They attempted to rot out the line but said it was too clogged and that they would have to sign a contract to have them come back the next day to do some other procedure??? (Day 1 was over $500 and day 2 was going to be $1600!) It gets better...They proceed to tell my father-in-law that if the second procedure doesn't work, they'll need to dig up the lawn.
(I can only imagine how much they would have charged for that!)
I told my wife to let me check Yelp before they proceed with these crooks.
I saw the great reviews for Green Tech Plumbing and decided to give Kevin a call.  He had a Representative out to their home within a few hours.  He rotted out the line and charged a very reasonable price. Problem solved! Thank you for the great, honest service.  I really appreciate you taking care of my In-Laws and I know if I ever need any plumbing work done, you'll be the first one I call!

They were on time. Very respectful of Covid. SO friendly and did great quick work!!! Sadly I've had to work with many plumbers over the years and will be using Midwest Hydro exclusively from now on!!  The prices were correct too!

UPDATED 8/26:

The owner of this company, Jesse, called me to apologize on behalf of the contractor who charged me for not doing anything. He confirmed that the initial consult from Captain Rooter IS free, and promised to issue a refund. Removing one star due to the earlier experience, but adding three to my overall rating because it meant a lot to me to get that call. If I end up using their services for another project that goes well, I'll update this again to reflect that.

PREVIOUS REVIEW:

I've never left a bad Yelp review (it's true, check my profile), but I want to warn people because I hate contractors that do this (and Captain Rooter said on the phone that they were different). I woke up to a very loud persistent jackhammer type sound coming from the bathroom around 4AM. It eventually stopped an hour or so later, but it was alarming enough that I called Captain Rooter's 24/7 line during the chaos and booked a 9:30AM consult, which I was told was free.

The guy arrived this morning, and looked into the toilet tank (I had removed the lid already). He then diagnosed it as trapped air in the pipes and said there wasn't really anything to do. He said if it happens again, it's a whole building problem and I should contact building management. He then said I owed him $125 for coming out, but if I had $50 in cash he would take that instead to save me some $$. I don't have cash on me, and said I didn't think there was a charge. He said he would call the company and I could Zelle them. The lady on the phone was like, Yep, there's a $185 service fee, here's where to send the payment -- when I corrected her and said that the plumber had said $125 she went, Oops, yes, it's a $125 service fee if he touched anything. At this point, I have been on the phone paying longer than the plumber looked at anything.

I paid, he left. But I feel really taken advantage of. Being a solo female homeowner is a privilege, but it also sucks, because contractors see you as just someone to charge $125 for two minutes of no work for during a free consult.

I knocked out half the power on my second floor with my blow dryer and the breaker wasn't the issue. Darrell came out the next day and solved the problem! He was very responsive and followed all recommended COVID protocols. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended!
Excellent service. Plumber went to store to pick up new kitchen faucet and installed after diagnosing issue. Can't imagine better service.  Will call them again for any future plumbing needs.

This is the second time we've used them. They are by far the best. They just fixed the drain from our furnace. It was flooding our first floor. The other plumbers wanted way more to do it. If you want fast good work you have to use these guys. I'm glad we have them as our plumbers.

We love Mike The Plumber and highly recommend him.  He just assisted us with two small plumbing problems at our new house in Rogers Park.  He was so pleasant to work with, fixed the issues quickly, fixed a few other issues in the process, recommended some changes, and was so reasonable in his price.   He also loves dogs, and took time to pet and play with our two pups in the back yard.  Mike is now our go to plumber, and I suspect our pups will be trying to clog our pipes so that Mike gets a call to come back.

I have had Juan come out twice to look at 2 issues. He used his camera scope to diagnose a drain issue and also installed a new sump pump for me.

All around one of the best experiences I have had with a contractor. He was helpful in sharing his knowledge. He didn't take on work where he felt it was outside his expertise. When he did the sump pump install, it was very detailed and the price was very fair.

Noel is excellent. You should hire him.

If you need more than that, fine. I called Noel on a Saturday because I had to get some pipes repaired on my gas stove top and I needed plumbing redone and a new faucet installed all due to new countertops being put in. I was moving in on Monday and needed this done ASAP. I fully expected Noel to tell me he could come out on Monday at the earliest.

No, not Noel. He came out that day. Within about 3 hours. He showed up, got both projects knocked out and was just a pleasant guy to hang with the whole time. He really took care of us and I hope I never need a plumber again, but I know I will. And when that happens, I'm calling Noel.

So in conclusion, Noel is excellent. You should hire him.

They were very responsive and came out quickly to our condo. They assessed the cause of the leak and took action to fix the problem. The plumber was very helpful and professional. We would definitely recommend Apex and will use them again for any future plumbing needs.

Jan came out last minute and replaced a broken valve for me.  I live in a condo building downtown (60606 zip code) and he worked with the building management office to get the job done quickly.  He quoted me the price over the phone before coming out and - even though it took longer than expected and he had to deal with some building administrative delays -  the price was exactly what he quoted me (and it was also was the most competitive price - half of what another plumber quoted).  Additionally, he was happy to look at a couple other plumbing issues I had questions about and at no charge.

Plus, he doesn't charge any sort of travel or location fee. Price quoted was price paid. I highly, highly recommend Vanguard for honest, excellent work. Plus, Jan is a really nice guy!

I've been using Vic and his guys for going on ten years , victor is probably they best sewer and water plumber there is , and an even better service provider, never met a harder working well rounded genuine human in my life , there really isn't anything he can do, he is a hard person to come by in the plumbing and service industry , his integrity, honesty , fairness in price , and always there for his clients no matter what, he has been my go to guy for ten years and man am I glad I found him you will be to take my word on that!

Quick response, fast and economical fix. Very friendly, great communication and overall a fine looking solution to a problem that was beyond my capabilities. Thanks!

Excellent service all around. From the response time to the actual work done at my house all with an upmost professional attitude and dedication.
Cannot recommend them enough!
