Pat came out to my apartment when my drains clogged.  He had a flat rate to clear my clog: $175/tub and $175/sink.  He ended up charged me $300 to clear my tub and sink and  changed my sink pipes on his own, which was very nice.  The work was quickly and well done.   Pat is knowledgable and responsive.

After 4 years, I'll finally leave my first review because Mac deserves it.

I might be the only person ever to have two separate water heaters break on me in one day, luckily I called Mac and he had both running quickly and cost-effectively. Immediately, Mac strikes you as the type of person who is honest and in it for the long-haul, there to provide quality service at a reasonable price and make it up in volume as a result of his expertise in his niche. He explained everything I needed to self-diagnose, and as a result, he knew exactly what he needed to do when he got there, and I didn't spend a single dollar more than necessary. He was so fair with his pricing and clearly knew everything about water heaters, so when the time came, I hired him to replace my 10 year old water heater at my house--The water heater was in a closet near new hardwood flooring and I'd rather be proactive than deal with the inevitability. He was quick to respond, he was quick to schedule, and he and his partner were lightning fast on the install. A few months later and the unit has been operating with good response and 0 problems. If you need a water heater fixed or replaced, and need an honest guy, pick Mac.

I couldn't recommend Rescue Plumbing more! They were helpful, honest, and incredibly kind. This business is a gem.

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

We just had the most amazing experience with Scotty! He's super fast and efficient! (And I'm ADAMANT about efficiency!)

Very friendly, and was even good with our dog, who barked at first.

He's thorough, knowledgeable, and fair. I highly recommend him for any of your plumbing needs!!

Thanks, Scotty!!!

Saw this morning around 11 that my garbage disposal unit was leaking. Read reviews and said why not. I'll give them a call. By 2pm I had a new garbage disposal installed. Nick was nice and did good work. Seemingly no extra charge for same day Saturday service. Might have been a tad expensive but worth it. I'd use these guys again for sure.

I had a water leak from my basement drain standpipe. I called Chicago Sewer & Drain, and David and his crew responded. After making an assessment I was quoted a price that included televising and water jetting to clear the clog. Unfortunately, the waterjet pump failed. The same crew returned several days later to finish the job. The lads on the team were all professional in explaining the problem and fixing it. I had a flood control in the front yard that was where the clog started I was reminded that only toilet paper is to down the toilet and not all things that are flushable can get past the flood control device.

One of our kids flushed a foreign object and clogged the toilet. The other plumbers that I called either had high prices or just didn't show up. Windy City Plumbing not only arrived early, but they worked quickly to get the job done. They removed my toilet, fixed the clog, and reinstalled the toilet all in under 30 minutes. They also had reasonable prices and the estimate they gave was accurate. Their communication is awesome - if there are any changes to the scheduled meeting time, they will contact you, unlike the other plumbers/handymen who either come late or don't show up and don't have the courtesy to at least give you a heads up.

My wife and I now have our go-to plumbing service. Windy City Plumbing is the real deal!

Racing to make a dinner date I broke the shower lever last night and was not able to turn off the water.  We have a partial water supply shut down so there was a trickle of water all night.  I immediately searched and messaged Eugene from First Chicago and he said they would come today!  Their estimate was accurate and they worked fast and well to fix our problem.  They completed their work in about one hour and worked as a team to assess and respond to our needs.  If you have a problem call Eugene and he will help you.  Thanks for responding to our needs.  Sincerely, Joe

I hired sound plumbing to install new pipes for a bathroom I was building on my second floor. They were incredible to work with. Kevin was a helpful collaborator who worked around my DIY project and even gave me ideas on how to make it better. They were transparent about their pricing and worked with me to come out under their original estimate. All the people I interacted with were helpful, charming, and took the time to explain things with me. 5/5 would work with them again. Great small business

Jesus is efficient, flexible, and professional. His prices are comparable/on the lower end to other quotes I got before he came out to rod my sewer line. I've since had him back to unclog a drain and recommended him to my sister who was also happy with his work.

Kevin is prompt, competent, and HONEST. He saved me from buying a completely new toilet (the advice of Plumber #1) by simply replacing a new part! I can't say enough good things about this company!

I've not had much luck with plumbers, until now. The sewer line was clogged   and soggy toilet paper started to back up into the basement. I searched on line for a plumber, and saw the great reviews for Midwest Hydro Jetting on Yelp. I called, spoke with Mike, and explained the problem. I  was hoping for a quick fix since I had family staying with me.  Of course he was familiar with this type of back up, and said it might be a day or so until someone could come out, but if the day's jobs were finished early, he would send someone. He also gave me a price range for the work that would probably be needed to be done, which was very reasonable.  Luckily the day's jobs ended early, and Dan arrived in the late afternoon. He knew exactly what to do, and power rodded the line until it ran clear. The cost was very reasonable and I was given a 30 day warranty.  Unfortunately, the line backed up again after a few weeks. Dan came back out, with Jose, and power rodded again, with a different head on the line. What came out of that line on the end of the rod head  was disgusting. He called it a 'mush ball', or something like that. It was a mass of toilet paper, wipes, and a small piece of plastic or cellophane, and had been about 75ft down the line. I previously instructed everyone to not dispose of wipes, flushable or otherwise, in the toilets. Of course it was group denial as to anyone doing so.  Anyway, the warranty was honored,    the line has stayed clear, and I have removed every package of wipes from the house that I could find. Besides being knowledgeable, professional, and very efficient, Dan is very personable too. Most people don't call a plumber until it's a dire necessity. They have the advantage, and some use that advantage to make more of the situation, and up the cost of repair.  This time it was a pleasure to finally find a company that did not do that. This old house will probably need a plumber again at sometime, and I would not hesitate to call them again if anything else 'comes up'.   I would highly recommend Midwest Hydro Jetting to anyone in need of great plumber services.

This is my second time using Captain Rooter, and the second experience lived up to the 5-star experience first time.

Adam and David came right out the following morning after calling in late at night.  They were professional and knowledgable.  Fixed my issue, and left the site in a better state than it started.

Definitely would recommend.  Thanks!

Communication and organization is extremely poor. Had a plumbing and electrical project (seemed perfect for them), but they are very disorganized. They came out fairly quickly to see the work that needed to be done, but they then called me a few times after saying they were scheduled to come out even though they already did and then jerked me around for a week just to get a quote that still didn't have a breakdown which was mentioned in the notes of the quote they sent. This is also after calling and texting them numerous times to follow up on the days they promised to have the quote sent by.
Maybe they do good work when you can actually get ahold of them but I'd recommend you call multiple places at the same time and not wait around for them to get to you. They were also twice as expensive on electrical work as another well rated electrician in the area for the same work. Maybe keep your request for plumbing only.

My Recommendation:
Electrician - Highlight Chicago
Plumbers - Five plumbing, Rocket Plumbing

I wasn't going to add this but the unprofessionalism was uncalled for.
They wanted to charge $185 to come back out. I then had to walk them through why there was no need to come back. They then said fine no $185 and when I said no to them they said LMAFO. Completely unnecessary and unprofessional. Just skip them if you can.
Provided conversation pics so my response has nothing to hide. You could maybe argue my response was a little curt but I just had finished convincing them they still had not provided the breakdown right before that which was frustrating in itself. Maybe explains why they were reluctant to provide the breakdown since they were trying to sneak in unnecessary costs

Safe, mask & booties.  Quick diagnosis, and resolved a long standing problem with my bathroom faucet.  Thanks!

Dimitry was super responsive and reached out within 15 minutes of the request. He gave me the price of the job ​over text vs other plumbers i reached out to and they had to come out and quote the job. Dimitry was able to provide me with insurance and plumbers license very fast also as this was a requirement from my HOA. On day of repair Lenny showed up and was ready to go. He had all the materials and knew what needed to be done. After the job he cleaned everything up and confirmed everything was operational before heading out.

Quick same-day service to fix a toilet fill valve. Took a look around the house at a couple other potential issues and made some recommendations. Professional and would recommend!

This is our second time using the same service, and they have provided a wonderful experience again.

We messaged for a quote at 11pm on a Thursday night and they responded within 10 minutes and came out the next day. They came out for a quote but ended up fixing all issues (even small ones I didn't initially ask about)

Services they completed:
Fixed water pressure in shower
Fixed kitchen sink (no water was coming out at all)
Fixed a bathroom sink pipe leaking
Even installed a new shower head!

I 100% recommend them and will continue to always use them. Best guys, best service, and best price around.

I called Noel to replace an ejector pump, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. He was able to come out within two hours of my call. He gave me an estimate up front that I thought was reasonable, and the final price was in line with the quote.

The quality of his work is excellent, and he left the space clean. He's my new go-to guy for plumbing from now on.

Added bonus: my dog liked him too.
