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.

This company did a wonderful job of rodding out my backed up sewer.  Reasonable price.  They also recommended additional repair work, (waiting for the quote via e-mail) showed me a picture of corroded coper vent pipe.  Excellent clean-up after work.  Stopped by my house within an hour of my call.  Workers were polite and well groomed.  I wish I had known about this company years ago.

Have used Joe for at least 10 years.  Use him not only at our house, but more often at a 4 flat we own.  Good work, fair prices, and shows up when he says he will.  And shows up quickly if it's an emergency.  Can't recommend him highly enough!

A must if you want quality, affordable, plumbing service.. Also they have great personalities, helps with other odd jobs... Will be recommending to all contacts..

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!

Had a plumbing issue and called and left a message.  Didn't get a call back until the following day, then he asked for pictures which I promptly sent.  Never heard from him again.  Called 2 days later, still have not heard from him.  Don't waste your time!

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!

I had a storm door caught in gusty wind and destroyed an exterior door frame. I found Gus here on yelp. He responded promptly and scheduled an appt. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and did an outstanding job. After fixing the issue, he came by again when weather permitted (without me having to ask) for some sanding and painting to make his job look even better.

Also a very honest guy. Thank you, Gus!!

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

I have used Glenbrook Plumbing over many years. Recently had them to correct leak under kitchen sink and rework plumbing for dishwasher. Did great job. Definitely recommend.

I have a gut rehab in Chicago and I called to see if this was a company that can handle the plumbing. This guys was extremely rude and just wanted the address. He then said, You wouldn't have the money for me, I don't want my trucks in that area. Our property is just off Oakpark and in a great up-and-coming area. I earn six figures and this is my 4th property. Just because I am a minority doesn't mean I don't have the money to work with you. I probably earn more money then you anyway, but above all this guy was very condescending. If you are a minority or someone that supports equal rights, don't give this guy your business. Let him earn it in white collar communities he probably can't afford to live in himself.

Lived in the south suburbs since 1980, always used Floyd's but then they were sold to King. The guys from Floyd's were great. I'm a single woman and I always felt they were honest and didn't try to sell me a bill of goods. Now it's King and I just had my annual furnace cleaning. The tech told me I had a huge problem and needed 1000.00 bucks worth of repair so I wouldn't wake up on a winter morning freezing. I'm not working so this freaked me out because I don't have the money for that. Long story short--got a second opinion from another company. The technician not only checked everything but showed me how he determined the efficacy of the furnace. He also wanted to see the receipt and was disgusted because there was supposed to be cleaning and it was still dusty inside. I don't need all that work; the furnace is fine and he cleaned out all the dust, checked everything and said he'd see me in a year. I think service people or companies that try to take advantage of single women or elderly people are the scum of the earth. I will NEVER use King Heating again!

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!!!

Public Plumbers was referred to us by a trusted professional in the plumbing business when we discovered a gas leak in our house. This was an emergency situation and they came out within an hour of calling. They were very professional and thorough! It took a long time because they were being very careful and making sure they got every leak. I was expecting a gigantic bill but it was reasonable, given the situation. Peoples Gas came back out to assess and said the plumbers did a great job- we got our gas turned back on. I highly recommend this business!
