Best in Chicago IL

Ridiculously EXPENSIVE!!! This plumber is a total rip off. He charged me $85 just for giving me an estimate after giving me a ridiculous price just to open the tank and tell me I needed to spend $450 on parts. I might as well buy a whole new toilet.

Called fastplumbing on a friday night because my hot water heater pilot light went out and I could not get it relight. Mac answered asked me to take a couple pictures of my unit and he would call me back. He called right back and walked me through his process to relight the water heater. It worked. He did not charge me for the fix. I will use fast plumbing for all my water heater issues in the future. It is so refreshing that someone walked me through the process they use instead of charging someone to come out and look at it. I thank Mac for taking the time to see if it was a quick fix.

Pete and Noah provided efficient and courteous service for our toilet and its aging parts. They deserve a lunch! I will use this company again when we are able to replace our non-working garbage disposal.

They were respectful and did a great job fory Granny. I'll call you guys anytime.

Scotty did an outstanding job. He was very easy to communicate with when it came time to schedule the visit. He was prepared and he was on time (in fact he was even early for the follow up visit). He did a good job and explained things very clearly. The prices were very fair and more clearly communicated than other local plumbers we spoke with for our sink issue.

All and all, no complaints, would highly recommend him.

After a major mess up by another plumbing company while doing routine maintenance rodding in our main sewage line, I called Rocket Plumbing for help in an attempt to avoid a $2,500 remediation project. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and best of all, persistent. When it looked like they wouldn't be able to solve the problem, they kept at it a few more times and it worked! I highly recommend Rocket Plumbing.

Dan was fantastic and professional. They gave me an estimate on paper, explained what they meant, came in very competitively priced and were an absolute Breeze to work with. They also gave me a real appointment time, not a window, and showed up right on time.

I have trouble understanding voices on the phone, so being able to do business almost entirely in text online was fantastic. Cheers to the office person I was working with through Yelp.

Jose will be our go-to plumber in future. He knows his stuff and great service, with complete professionalism. Even if you have to wait a couple of days, get him instead of another plumber (this other guy wasted our time and money and didn't fix anything).

In late May First Chicago Plumbing replaced the faucets in two bathrooms and the kitchen and also replaced the diverter in the bathtub.  Eugene and the gentleman with him (I don't recall his name) were very professional and very nice.  Eugene took the time to explain everything to me and answered any questions I had, even after the job was completed.  Eugene even checked on our hot water heater and gave us an estimate to replace it when the time comes (which will likely be in the next few months!)  He will definitely be the person I call!!  I highly recommend First Chicago Plumbing for all your plumbing needs.

Our management company has always been extremely satisfied with Sound Plumbing's service.  They are quick to respond and extremely experienced with all plumbing matters.  The Sound team is friendly, communicative, and very expert.

Seems like this company is hit or miss. I called them to come out and do as assessment of my condo unit prior to renting it out and they were quick, seemingly thorough and it was free! They didn't find any issues in my unit - great. I called them the following week to assess a leak in the ceiling of the retail space below our building's units. I spoke to the owner on Saturday and discussed having someone come out to look at it Monday morning. As of Monday morning, I hadn't heard from anyone so I called around 10am to see what time frame I was looking at. Obviously no one was planned to come out, so they sent someone and they arrived within the hour. As they arrived, I was told by the crew that it would cost $285 for them to set up a ladder and remove 1 ceiling tile to be able to see where the leak is coming from. After that, I basically had to stalk the owner to send us an estimate for any work that would have to be done. We had him look at another item (booster pump) that needed to be removed and capped too, since I had already paid $285 to have someone there. They said the work was too commercial because it was copper pipes and said they would not do the job. Keep in mind their truck, sweatshirts, and website says residential AND commercial - AND FREE ESTIMATES. After hounding them down for a full day, the owner told me they do not want to take on the commercial part of the work. Then, I asked if there was a chance they would cut the drywall to find the source of the leak that they may decide the work is too commercial and refuse to do it. At that point, he suggested I find another plumber who does commercial and residential work to have the work done. So much for my $285 that I have nothing to show for...and no refund offered, obviously.

Long story short: if you have MINOR residential repairs or issues, they might be okay. But if you live in Chicago and it's anything related to a building issue, STEER CLEAR!

I have used Green Tech on 4 occasions in the last few years. Kevin is attentive, quick to respond and tells it like it is.  They have done slow drain servicing for me, they have come to my immediate rescue on a main line plug that created a backup, and most recently they shot a camera down my main line and determined that I had a 60 year old connection from my home to the city main that was broken and causing washout causing my patio to sink. Kevin was there within an hour and then quickly dispatched Nick and Mike to come and dig up and repair the problem within 4 hours. Unreal!  I, like many homeowners, dread the need to call in professionals for HVAC, Electrical, and Plumbing because we are predisposed to the notion of getting ripped off.
NOT with these guys. These guys are TOP SHELF and I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality, competent , and competitive work. Bar None.
Thanks Green Tech ,,,,, once again,.

I have to give a detailed review because my experience was absolutely amazing. If you don't want to read the full review but want to know a short version: I HIGHLY recommend MHJSS, not just recommend but HIGHLY!

ok, so here is the fine print:
I've been smelling a sewage smell on my 1st floor, coming from my bathroom for the last few years. It comes and goes and when it goes it leaves long enough for me to forget about it. Just recently it came back and is stronger than ever, so much so that I can smell it moving throughout my home. I have a family plumber I've been using since the '90s and I'm big on small business so as usual I called and got my home rodded. Since purchasing my home in 2014 I get an annual rodding done since I can't watch what my company and children flush down the drain.

Wanting to get a 2nd opinion I googled and came up with Mr. Rooter, sent a message on their website, and set up a date and time for them to come to consult. I took off work since they told me it was a window from 12-3 pm. To make a long story short, I work overnight and was asleep when they called me at 8 am the day of to tell me they would arrive at 12. Since I missed the called they canceled my appointment. I was upset when I woke up at 11 am to get this voicemail. I took to google again, I had no patience nor desire to deal with this (Plus they told me since I lived on the south side I needed to pay $90 extra for the plumber to come south).

Google lead me to MHJSS. I read reviews and called. I can't remember who I spoke with but the guy was professional and gave me confidence that I'd found the right company.

About an hour later, Danny called me to say he was on his way. (Quick appointment, same day, no BS). He arrived on time with his partner Jose. They asked the perfect questions and before I could explain everything, they knew what needed to be done and starting accessing. Danny took his time and explained EVERYTHING so that I could understand all about my plumbing issues. He showed me things I didn't expect to see since my family plumber does frequent work at my home. I was able to get a Hydro Jetting and he immediately told me why we could smell the sewage in the house.

Being a novice to this entire industry, Danny and Jose made sure I knew what was going on, why, and how it can be fixed. They took their time, did things correctly, cleaned up behind themselves, and did so in a professional and safe manner. They worked great as a team and even better as plumbers. I felt like I'd know them personally before today since they were so personable. I wasn't rushed, I wasn't pitched a sales pitch, and I was comfortable with them in my home.

Bigger name companies need to take notes from these guys. I hope nothing about their process changes because from now on I will be using MHJSS for all my plumbing needs and will continue to refer them to everyone I know, as a matter of fact, my neighbor will be using them soon for his multiunit apartment building (I gave him MHJSS phone number, LOL).

Thank you again Danny and Jose and also MHJSS!!!

We had an emergency plumbing issue with our gas pipe. Manny and Brandon came out and worked through the night. The were determined to stay until the job was complete. They did an awesome job and the price was amazing!

Now our go to company for any plumbing issues! We had a water leak in our house where a lot of water was pouring out of our ceiling and we were in a hurry to find a plumber right away. So grateful Sims and Sons was the first company we called. They understood how urgent the matter was and got a technician out right away. Within a half hour we had someone at our house and inspecting the problem. They worked with us, and our above neighbors, to try and figure out where the water was coming from, instead of just ripping into our walls. I really appreciate that Sims and Sons had our best interests in mind. We cannot thank them enough! We will definitely be using them for any issues in the future.

Highly recommend ABV. Had a toilet leaking at the floor & needed a new flange. Ivo came out next day & replaced it. The toilet looked like a new install when he finished & he cleaned up the workspace so that you wouldn't have known he was there. I was so impressed, I had him come back a few days later to change the old components inside two toilet tanks with new ones. He also replaced the kitchen faucet with a new one. I like that when I call, someone always answers the phone & that I can have a plumber at the house the next day who does good work.

On a Sunday, our ejector pump died. We started a help claim from yelp and CJ Plumbing was one of the first to reply. The owner, Dmitry, was available on a Sunday to troubleshoot our situation over the phone. He figured out a way to temporarily bypass our issue. This saved us money by being able to wait until normal hours to get service. It was amazing and provided us with a huge relief!
The work was very prompt and expertly completed. We would definitely recommend CJ Plumbing to anyone!

About as honest and straightforward as it gets.  Great guy and even better plumber!  He explained everything that was going to be done, was flexible around our schedule and most importantly fixed the issue we were having.  I'm glad to find a go to plumber we can depend on with fair and transparent pricing.

Juan was very personable, knowledgeable and eager to help. What struck me from the beggining was his transperancy. He gave me a quick quote for labor, and stuck to the price something that is a bit rare with contractors if I am honest. My water heater was too old to service( rusted out anode rod) but I feel confident in that I now have a great plumber to call when issues come up. Thanks!!!

I called Noel a little after noon today as my disposal finally seized.  He was very polite, asked me to take pictures of it, and he would send me a quote.  10 minutes later I received the quote - he arrived about 2:15 to install it!  Very nice and proficient.

He finished in about an hour - the new unit works great and the cost was just as he quoted it.

I contacted him and 3 hours later it was installed - great work Noel!  Thanks!
