Best Plumbing Services in United States

LOVE PPP! Shannon and Ann Marie make a great team. The first time i called, Shannon came out, same day and fixed our disposal right away. The second time I called (regarding potential frozen pipes and our washing machine now working)-- didn't even require a visit as they advised me on ways to fix it myself... which saved me the time and money of having them come out. I will ALWAYS use these guys!!

Positive experience, was able to call Ray during an emergency at 11pm (I live in Mokena) he came right out fixed the problem. Very nice and didn't charge a fortune. Will  definitely  use again.

Advantage Plumbing and Drain, Inc. totally ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!  Jennifer couldn't have been more courteous and accommodating on the phone when I called to schedule and appointment and went out of her way to work around my schedule.  Josh called to let me know he was on his way and even put shoe covers on to do the initial estimate just walking around the house and I really appreciated that.  He was most patient, nice, and knowledgeable, and listened and took notes.  I have to have several things replaced and had a lot of questions and he went through everything step by step to make sure I understood what needs to be fixed and how best to do it.  I am very lucky to be their customers and can't wait for the work to start!  My family was also in the plumbing business and Advantage Plumbing and Drain, Inc. is on the level and is very customer-service oriented.  I was stressed because there are several plumbing problems, but Josh made this a very positive experience.  I wish Josh, Jennifer, and the whole team much continued success and greatly look forward to recommending Advantage Plumbing and Drain, Inc. whenever I can.  :) :)

So incredibly disappointed with this company. Like all the other low-star reviews that mention AHS (American Home Shield), we too were about to be led down the drama path, but we got out before it was too late.

Last week our old sink in the basement decided to stop draining properly. Our washing machine drains into this particular sink, so we did our best to unclog it. We've fixed it in the past on our own, but this time around we couldn't seem to get it to route out, and so it was time to make the call to AHS. Since we called on a Friday, we were told that no one was available to come out until Monday. Ugh, but oh well.  

Today Sergi arrived promptly, when we were told he would, and he came into our house for less than five minutes, took a few photos of our sink and disappeared to his van for 20+ minutes. My husband had to go out to the van to find out what was going on. Sergi said he couldn't work on our clog until he replaced the pipes with PVC, because they were not up to code. He put in a call to get approval from AHS to upgrade our 3' pipe with PVC. Mind you, we just had a full home inspection last year, and there were no code violations with regard to our pipes. He said it was approved and that he would be back the next day to fix it. Something didn't feel right, so we called back to Drain & Plumbing Services to find out what the heck was going on. Anna said she had to to still turn in the inspection report to AHS, and that she had 24 to do so, but that it most likely wouldn't be approved for the amount they give her in order to replace the pipe. At that point, it felt like she could honestly care less whether she had our business or not. As a result, we were just done and wanted to move on to find someone to stick the proper tool in there and undo the clog.

*WHAT DID THIS HAVE TO DO WITH UNCLOGGING OUR PIPE?

About five minutes after talking with Anna, we received a text from AHS saying the job was marked complete, and they wondered how our experience was. HUH? Things were getting weird at that point. We knew it was time to just get out from under all of this drama and called AHS. They got Anna on the phone and she said they had 24 hours to provide a report, but that she would have something to AHS by 3pm. Not sure exactly what the report was that everyone was waiting on at this point.

*AGAIN, WHAT DID THIS HAVE TO DO WITH UNCLOGGING OUR PIPE?

By 3pm we called back AHS. They got on the phone with Anna, because they still had not received the report. So much drama!!

Needless to say, AHS refunded our money, and we will no longer be needing services from Drain & Plumbing. We're going to deal with this on our own at this point. Good riddance!

Paul came recommended by a trusted friend. When you call Paul the Plumber, you get Paul the Plumber. No lackeys no BS. Our water heater failed. He was there the next morning with a very high quality American Made unit. The job was left near and clean. He even arranged a pick up of the old WH. Paul will be the only plumber in my phone.

We received a bait and switch. We called around to find a plumber, as our sewer system was backing up into the parking lot. THEY told US they could rod out the sewer for 400.00. They came out and insisted we pay them a check on the spot. Then the guy told us that what he accomplished was nothing, that we had to have our sewer system sucked out and that he couldn't do it and we had to call another plumbing company. So I asked what he accomplished, and he said basically nothing. My conversation with him was to ask, now that you have done this rodding, the sewer will work? and he said no, it will back up to the parking lot just as before. so what did you accomplish? We did what you asked us to do. Is this the type of plumber you want to hire?

When we called the plumbing company, we were met with no response. All I have left at my disposal is to give them the review they deserve.

I feel Ripped off. $125 for a 3 minute service call. Plumber Re-lit my pilot light on my water heater. Didn't service it (drain it) or do anything else. How can they justify the cost of their service.  I won't be recomme ding them to anyone. Avoid.

Everything everyone else said is true!  Mom's sewer was chock full of roots, causing a terrible backup in her bathroom.  He arrived within a half hour and had the problem resolved quickly for a more than fair price.  Why is it the people you don't want to have to deal with are always the kind of people you want to deal with all the time?!?  Thanks, Greg!

Great company to work with, they take the time to explain everything you need for a project.

We had to replace our flood control system and the process went very smoothly.

They were available to work quickly, and did good work. David was patient and explained not only what the issues with my plumbing were, but how they were caused.

All in all I felt like they took good care of me.

Work done was replacing a pip with a root rupturing it, cleaning a grease trap, and replacing a toilet seal.

They worked with financing partners that allowed for flexible terms that worked for me.

Rescue Plumbing is the best of the best of the best; I can't say enough good things about this company and their service!
I've now had occasion to work with Rescue Plumbing twice, on behalf of my clients (who own rental properties in the city); both times, I worked with Pete.  He answered my call and made sure he came to my client's property that same day.  Pete is terrific; he diagnoses the problem, provides a solution, and presents a very fair price.
Moreover, he works quickly and efficiently.  The work is completed professionally.
Rescue Plumbing has made my job much easier and much more worry-free.  I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am to have a company of this calibre, serving my clients.  
I heartily recommend Rescue Plumbing, for all your plumbing & piping needs.

Our sump pump broke down, and we noticed a small leak in our basement.  We called on Sunday Morning and Dominick was available and able to show up within two hours.  He replaced our system quickly at a very reasonable price and was very helpful.  Will definitely be using Dominick for any future issues and recommending to all of our friends and family.

Got the chance to work with Burr Oak Plumbing again! We bought a 5 stage whole house water filter system from Pentair, and needed help removing our simple water softener and replacing it with the more robust whole house system.

Peter did a great job! He communicated clearly with everything that he needed to do, helped explain what things were, how he was going to set it up, helped me configure the electronics so I knew how to maintain it myself, and did some tests to ensure everything worked smoothly including ensuring our water pressured was still good!

It's been setup for a few weeks now and it's works amazing! Super grateful for his wisdom and his time and will definitely reach out if I have anything else that I need!

My toilet was leaking last week after a long 12 hour shift in the ER and I was so over it. I reached out to MIKE at RMO plumbing and he was able to give me a quote over the phone, and we scheduled a date for him to come out asap which I really appreciated. Mike came out and installed my new toilet and saved me some money by getting his hands dirty. Being a new home owner I was so worried but Mike made sure to take care of my needs and at a fair price. RMO plumbing definitely gained a forever customer.

Friendly, fast and very knowledgeable.  We needed a handyman to come and re-attach our stove hood that fell off the wall the previous night.  Andrew was here the next morning and fixed it better than before.  Would definitely use him again.

We are the type of people who like to ensure that area businesses are patronized, thereby retaining money in our community, so, we always contact area businesses/contractors no matter our needs or the size of the project. In this instance, and being totally fair, we want to describe our description of work we wanted to be done, how it was addressed, and our experience with this company.

Last year we needed to replace an exterior ejector/sump pump, rod, and clear exterior run-off/rainwater pipes and have a first-floor toilet replaced. We called Pittman, which is located less than a mile from us. We made an appointment after explaining our needs. They called to confirm the appointment, arrived promptly and reviewed our job. A gentleman who identified himself as a partner in their family-owned business provided us an estimate including the service charge. We had already purchased the ejector/sump pump and the Kohler toilet that we wanted to be installed and asked them to use those products/materials. However, in adding the rodding job we realized that either he was joking or simply didn't want to do the work by making the charge entirely too high - by hundreds of dollars. As for the toilet - we didn't have much of a choice since it would create a hardship not having a bathroom available for use. After finishing the job we asked why their prices were so high. The gentlemen actually laughed while suggesting that if we wanted less than quality work we could pay less.

Several weeks later, we discovered we had a clog in our upstairs bathroom drain, which stopped the vanity and the tub. We called Pittman, told them the problem and they dispatched a crew. We explained to them that we also wanted to have a new Kohler tub drain assembly installed since the original one had already been removed. They removed the clog in a matter of minutes, using an air pressure device and cleared some debris from the p-trap under the vanity. I reminded him about the tub drain assembly to which the gentleman replied that I had the wrong part(s), that it could not be installed and to call him when I actually knew what I was talking about. His manner was condescending and dismissive even as he suggested that he was willing to drop the service charge associated with the visit. I asked him to reconsider installing the device since I was certain that I had ordered the correct part(s) assembly. He declined. We paid them, and they left. I ended up installing the device myself within an hour, thereby concluding that either he didn't know what he was talking about or, once again, he simply didn't want to do the job.

Fast forward to one week ago. A property we owned required the unstopping of a tub drain. We called Pittman, set up an appointment, explained our needs, and met them the next day on the job site. The crew examined the situation but were ultimately unsuccessful after working on it for just over an hour. One of the gentlemen explained that the configuration of the pipes, trap, and drain prevented them from clearing the blockage using conventional means. He stated that he wasn't sure, but believed that the only way he could clear the pipe was to cut the wall of an adjacent bedroom, the floor and the kitchen ceiling beneath the bathroom in order to access the pipes, remove and replace them - all without guarantee of success and adding that they would not be responsible for replacing or repairing the damage done as a result of their work.

We were stunned. but accepted that the work would have to be done.
He sketched out several confusing diagrams to explain his assessment and how it could be fixed. He also included an estimated price/cost - a very high one ($1300.00 to $1500.00) for the job alone. We greenlighted the job provided that he would present us with a formal/detailed proposal. He responded that the document would be ready by that evening of the next day but he would not be able to start work until two days later. We asked how he would be able to properly convey an accurate description of the problem/solution to his co-worker without him seeing the job. He claimed it wouldn't be a problem.

We were not contacted as promised, no email or message was sent. We called Pittman's offices. They claimed not to know about the project, would search it out and call back. They did not and they still have not reached out to us.

The least they could have done is told us they did not want to do the job - for whatever reason. They are very unprofessional in that regard, even if you are a repeat customer. Not being direct and honest with a customer is not the way to go.

As an aside, we found another contractor - outside the neighborhood - who determined that the job could be done for over $500.00 dollars less and retains references/contact with contractors who assess and repair damages resulting from their work. They promptly provided a detailed assessment and estimate, to begin work almost immediately.

Draw your own conclusions!

I needed to have blinds that I bought online put up.  He did an amazing job.  I saved over $600-900 over quotes from blind makers.  What a racket!

Called due to a leaking hot water heater (cracked tank) and Alan was able to come out the same day to replace it. Super nice guy - took the time to explain care and maintenance of the unit while simultaneously working. Changed out the unit (which was under warranty) quickly despite a little confusion from the office. Big fan of Armbrust!

I am glad I came here. I stopped at the big box stores and they had some options but nothing that would help with my issue. Once I got here I had the feeling they usually work with plumbers more but the staff here was and I could tell they had the experience and knew what they were talking about. In fact I drew out what my issue looked like and they talked me through a couple ways to fix it. They also had tons of options so you were bound to find what you needed. All my future plumbing issues I plan to come here for the experience of the staff and the large selection of options.

Where to even begin.....

We hired Tim Shey, the owner, to do some plumbing work. Initially he came off as being a normal tradesmen... His bedside manor was a little abrasive but not so bad that I didn't think to not use him.

Well, I wish I would have cut ties the moment I picked up on that abrasiveness b/c my experience with him turned out to be an absolute nightmare. My experience with him was absolutely abusive and for no reason. For a long time i asked myself what I did to deserve him being so rude and disrespectful and then I finally realized that I did nothing at all to deserve the treatment bestowed upon us.

On top of the abuse, here I am, months later and i've had issue after issue with the plumbing. Very basic things were missed. Most recently, we had to hire a plumber to come out to fix one of the toilets he installed. Lord knows how long it's been leaking but I happed to notice one day that water was leaking out the back every time the toilet was flushed. It turns out that he didn't install it correctly as the top wasn't tighten to the base. The damage this has caused ....... I wonder if he did it purposely? I really do.... We also have had issues with every faucet he installed. Every single one had to be reinstalled. Additionally, one of the shower heads was leaking . That was another plumber visit. I keep going on and on with the issues but I'm sure you get the point.

This was not my personal experience but I spoke to another person who hired him who needed an additional week to pay him for his services and instead of waiting, he went to her home, pushed himself through her door and ripped out all of her plumbing so that she couldn't access any water! Who does that!

Please note that this was my personal experience with Tim. I'll never understand why I didn't just ask him to leave my condo the minute he was disrespectful.
