Best Plumbing Services in United States

Down hands the best company I have ever worked with, very punctual, best prices, Shannon cook came on a weekend fixed our problem, and even showed us what to do to save us money, I will never call another company and will refer to all my friends.

We have been using Ray as our plumber for 15 years. He's gotten us through some nasty plumbing problems. He's quick to respond to calls. His work is dependable. His prices are reasonable. But today, he earned a permanent place in my heart: he hooked up an icemaker for me!! I love ice in my drinks and hate making it in ice trays. Now, I won't have to thanks to Ray.

I woke up to a cold shower.  Advantage responded quickly and provided the best price.  The technician came in and gave no flack for having to wear a mask.  I highly recommend Advantage for your plumbing needs

We were referred to Drain & Plumbing Services for a job for one of our real estate clients. They scheduled us promptly, Yuri arrived exactly when promised. He even identified an additional connection needed (no additional cost for the extra fitting), fixed everything without hesitation. He was quick, pleasant, and helpful, and the pricing was very fair! We now have a new go-to plumbing service for our clients, and our own needs!

Paul was a great find.

I was performing a garbage disposal replacement and found the new disposal would not fit with the existing pipework. Wanting to make sure it was done right by someone with experience, I contacted Paul to rework the sink plumbing to accommodate the new disposal.

His quote turnaround was fast and he was able to schedule me in at a very reasonable time for a very reasonable price. His communication was friendly and clear throughout the process. He runs a local family owned business and his experience and pride in his craft shows through his work. He is now my go-to for any plumbing needs. I highly recommend Paul.

The best plumbing team on the North Shore!!! Experienced, creative, and fastidiously focused, solid, hard-working guys. I know that's a lot of adjectives, but they ROCK! In an era where flash floods warrant top-of-the-line sump systems and quirky old house plumbing mysteries are commonplace, these are the guys you want on the job! Marc thoroughly investigated several plumbing issues in our old house - lumbering sump pumps in hard to reach places, low water pressure on second floor baths, and fancy faucet with crazy valve system that leaks. Marc presented Plan A for each issue, and then a Plan B (more costly, but well worth it). Sean and Paul came in to execute Plan A, and everything worked as Marc had hoped. No need for Plan B for anything. Even if Plan B had presented itself, I would have completely understood why since they explain everything to you (if you care to pay attention). They are geniuses and worth every penny!!! Thank you Marc, Sean and Paul!

I used Courtesy in the past and they did a great job, but a month ago I called them for an electrical issue, a return vent issue and two plumbing issues and they only fixed the return vent issue.
When I called to tell them this, the lady who answered the phone, who wasn't very nice, said I would probably be charged again despite the receipt saying they give a 30 day guarantee for their work.
I will never use them again and would not recommend them to anyone.

I called several plumbers on a Saturday due to a clogged sewer line. Few even called me back. Greg called right away and was over within a half hour. Greg couldn't have been nicer. Great job. Reasonable price.

I needed to satisfy the village code of Elmwood Park because I sold my house. I already had a membership with Larry's Plumbing, so I called for their approximate rates.  When I was told the cost would be around $800 (with the member 20% discount, mind you) at the minimum, I immediately started asking around.  Our handyman told us to call Forte Plumbing.  They're local, have a great relationship with the surrounding villages, and they couldn't be nicer people to deal with.  Best of all, they told me they could do the work for $250! When they came to do the work, it took them 4 hours.  STILL only charged me $250, even though it was certainly more work than expected.  I would have happily paid more.  I wish Forte serviced the far western suburbs -- when you find a good plumber, you should never let them go!  Thank you Carmen and Michael!

They were great! I had a gas leak and needed a plumber to fix right away to turn my gas back on. They even gave me an estimate and fixed my pipes in 1 morning. The work was great quality as well.

Pete and Noah were called in for an emergency water backup situation. They showed up on time and were very friendly and professional. They walked me through what was going on and what they were doing because they needed to use a sewer camera. Let me tell you, I have fond respect for someone like Pete who's been doing this for a while, had the professional courtesy to educate his clients and inform them every step of the way. Listing out all the options and being totally candid about all that is being done. Would recommend them to anyone having any sort of water/plumbing situation.

I wish I could give Dominick ten stars! 2am and the sump pump alarm is going crazy and pouring rain outside. I frantically call two contractors I have dealt with and four other ones trying to find somebody and then happen on Sump Pump Doctor as Dominick picks up the phone and shows up within the hour. He replaced both my sump pumps (the other had not been working for quite a while), explained that the previous guy put in a Zolar and to stay away from that brand. He also put in a different check valve that doesn't sound like a mini thunderclap every time the pump discharges. And the emergency price was $750 with the pump, install, radon pipe modifications which is less than most would charge during non-emergency hours. I cannot say enough about the professionalism and responsiveness of Dominick. He also does injector pumps (which I wish I knew when mine went down last month and I got a good soaking not only from the water in the basement but from the guy who changed it). Thanks Dominick! You are a life saver!!!!

They did a great job in explaining the issue and making the repair.  I will definitely use them again for any plumbing work.  Thanks guys!

Although we didn't get service with them, they were amazing at reaching out and explaining what may need to be done. Thank you for your promptness and patience.

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 called for information on recaulking and was give an hourly rate.  Kevin wasn't available for several days, but I said I would discuss the cost with my husband.  Kevin called a couple of days later and I told him my husband wanted to give the project a try himself.  Well that didn't work, so I called Kevin again to let him know we would like him to come out after all.  I'm disappointed I didn't hear back from him.  It would be nice to have a reliable handyman close by.

Adam diagnosed the problem quickly and easily. He's confident and knows his stuff.  He found and fixed the most obvious issue economically and quickly (obvious to him, not to us!). Sometimes, with plumbing, the hardest part of the problem is figuring out the cause of the problem.  Fixing it is the easy part, comparably. It's too early to tell if what he found is the only issue--there may be a deeper (as in, under the concrete) problem too.  But more than likely, what he found is exactly what was causing our soil stack to leak.

Prices are outrageous, the staff I spoke with was inexperienced and lacking the knowledge, nobody available to help me. Just ridiculous

Dishonest company.  I have eight furnaces for my building and they solicited me for a tune-up and turned off the tenant heat, demanding money to turn it back on BEWARE!!
