Best in Chicago IL

We had a clogged sewer line backing up from the floor drain where the washer drains into but also backing up from toilets.  We called them (Chicago Hts number but surely the same business) and like the Yellow Pages ad says, they were out within the hour.  The estimate was $250-275.  They rodded out the main line using the cleanout in the front yard and quickly the toilets were flushing smoothly.  

But not so the floor drain.  I had had some inklings that there was a clog very close by so it didn't totally surprise me that we actually had two clogs.  And, boy did they have to work to clear this one, finally having to remove the standpipe thing coming from the washer and even having to bring in the big machine they used outside.  (They were having to snake through a trap in the piping under the concrete slab floor to get to the clog.)  I asked if releasing that clog would potentially move on to reclog the mainline and true to their word, they went back outside and rodded the mainline all over again.  They explained what they were doing and why they would do it the way they did at every stage.

The floor drain clog took a lot more work than the mainline clog and they could have asked for double the quote.  In the end the tab came to $400 which is not cheap but I think for 2 men and the amount of time spent not only doing it but doing it right (so far as I could tell), it was reasonable.  Hopefully it all stays free running for a long time.  I would use them again when the time comes.

We have used B & A Plumbing for many years . They put in a new sewer line for us, unclogged our sewer line and just recently installed a water shut of valve inside our house and a new faucet outside.

We are happy with all the work they have done for us.  Their people are very friendly and professional. I would recommend them to anyone,

Joe was an incredible find when we moved into an old house.  He's easy to contact, arrives when scheduled and does outstanding work.  He stepped in at the last minute during a big project when another plumber that the village recommended turned out to be a disaster.

Awesome guy who fixed my plumbing problem in five minutes after another plumber worked on it for three days.  Also he checked a few other issues for free. Reasonable price as week.

Had received a quote from another plumber for my cabin in Three Oaks.  Thought it was somehwat high so decided to get a second quote before proceeding...so glad I did!  Not only was Goodman lower but my experience from initial call to on-site completion was top-notch on all.  Nick (owner) took time to explain the issues and even though they ran into an unexpected on-site issue (I actually had a 120v water heater versus a 220v), he was able to pivot immediately and get a new unit in and install it the very next morning in time for guests arriving following day.   Could not recommend this company enough - just an honest, efficient, professional small business that always make sure they have a happy and satisifed customer whatever it takes.  Thanks to Goodman team and will be recommending you to all the other owners at Lakeside Cabins!

Bob came to install new plumbing fixtures and took it the extra step in suggesting a repair on a few instead of replacing. I greatly appreciate his honesty and vast knowledge. We are so happy with his professionalism and quality of work. Thank you Bob!

We needed help with removing our toilet and replacing the wax ring, but we didn't have the tool to cut a rusty screw. They were quick to respond to my initial call and flexible with coming later the following day when my husband was home from work. They arrived on time and were done very quickly, at an affordable price. Both men were polite, friendly, and social. We will definitely be saving their number for future needs!

In demand so you might have to wait, but he got in and got the job done much cheaper than my other quotes. Wall patch and paint match.

Very Professional and Friendly. Competitive prices. I called Cesar that day and he came out right away.

This is a rave review!  Glenbrook Plumbing installed a new water heater a couple of years ago for me, so when I suddenly stopped having hot water, I contacted them, spoke with Bill Jr. who tried to get someone out that day, but it was Monday morning so I was fine when Rob arrived the next day.  He got something working because I had some hot water, but he expressed concerns in several ways, said he would consult with Bill Jr.  When he returned, he told me that I needed a hot water heater specialist, provided name & number, read off the model # & serial # for ease.  He even went ahead & replaced the lightbulb that I couldn't reach where the heater was.  And he apologized that did all he could but that I would need a specialist.

Well...with all that, I will DEFINITELY call them for general plumbing problems in the future.

AVOID THIS BUSINESS BY ALL MEANS.  

I spoke with the owner Jason over the phone and scheduled an appointment for the next day regarding a sewer being backed up. He showed up the next morning on time which was the only plus. The experience after that was not so great though.

He cleared out the main sewage lines and a water line located behind the stove. Roughly 20 minutes after the work was done and he had left, the tenant called the whole basement had FLOODED.

I showed up to the unit and found the issue. Jason drilled a two inch hole into the water pipe so he could rod it out. The issue was he simply used regular tape to cover up the hole. I was shocked when I saw that a professional plumber would use tape to cover up a hole in a water pipe.

I called Jason immediately to explain the situation but was told he is on the other line and would call back. I did not hear from Jason so I called back an hour later and left a voicemail. It has been over a week and two additional voicemail's later, he still has not called back. Obviously he is avoiding contact by all means at this point.

The situation only gets better. One week after the work was done, the tenant called that the sewer was backed up again. I called another plumber and he had to come out and got the job done. I had to pay twice the amount because the job was not done the first time around.
Also, I like to point out I was quoted the day before a reasonable price. It was not until the work was completed did the owner Jason mention he performed extra work and charged $100 more from the original quote.

AVOID THIS BUSINESS BY ALL MEANS.

I called king because I was having furnace issues I told them that I believed the gas control valve was sticking they had a tech at my house which was awesome and he did a fantastic job it was the gas control valve and he also found a cracked inducer motor he start to break down pricing for what was wrong and it totaled around $1500 I asked him what a new unit would cost and he told me that he didn't do the estimates for a new install but he would have someone that does that come out either the same day or they would contact me to setup an appointment well I waited for 4 hrs and no one showed or called I called another heating company they sent someone out estimated the job and installed the next morning I know king has been around for many years but it just seems foolish to let business go when all that was needed was a phone call and they would have had a loyal customer for life

Do Not Hire this person!!!
We recently hired him for a small shower renovation. We paid him $4k and he never finished the job. We had 3 separate plumbers check his work and All of them said it was incorrect. We ended up paying someone else to finish the job correctly. He ghosted us and never responded to us after he took our money. HORRIBLE! Please Do Not Hire Him!!!

STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAMMERS!!
I called them for an estimate on changing a gasket in my bathroom. I was told that they charge $165 to come out and that will be for one guy and half hr. Its it takes longer than that, they need 2 guys and it will be around $400. Are you kidding me?
I called another plumber and he came our, fixed the gasket and did other work, was there for about 4 hrs and the charged me $195. Of course I gave him a little extra as I felt bad he did so much work. This guy is licensed and bond. I will be happy to refer him to anybody.
Public Plumbing blows!!!
