Best in Chicago IL

We are very happy with Southtown Plumbing. They arrived in good time and did not keep us waiting. They were extremely knowledgeable about the local area and what types of things might be going on with our plumbing based on how the houses in our area were built. They worked well with my husband and listened to his assessment of what was going on and where he thought our lines were clogged instead of dismissing him and making up their own mind about what the issue was. The clog was quickly fixed and everything is running smoothly. They were very down to earth. Great work!

Had some reconstruction done due to a sewer pipe backing up and Gary and Brandon came out to reset my sink, toilet, washer and dryer(With steam feature).  They were right on time as agreed to, kind and worked very efficiently. They honestly told me about a sink I bought wouldn't be easy to put in so we just returned it and had the original one put back in with new fixtures. The sink looks like new.I would not hesitate calling them again for any of my plumbing issues. Thank you for your hard work! Great company to work with!

I was recommended by a relative. I had a backed up sink and he fixed it! He had all the right tools to get the job done. You get the feeling that he has been doing this for many years. I will be using him for all of my plumbing needs! He also charges a fair price for the work that is done.

Excellent honest very fair priced old school plumber. He worked hard for four hours straight and the bill was 40 % less than the big company quotes plus when the job ran longer than expected because of the common snafus he stayed until 9pm to get it finished and cleaned up everything. Also has an easy going friendly personality. I couldn't be more pleased and am shocked he doesn't have many more reviews.

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!

I've turned to bob for help with a plumbing issue twice. He responds quickly and delivers great service

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 changed my rating do to what I feel is being over charged. I have used GP for years and for the most part have been pleased.  Unfortunately I have had an ongoing shower issue in which the shower was presenting a leak from the back side of the granite running down from a panel in back of the on/off valve.  GP came out numerous times over the span of a few months to figure out the issue as the leak continued and spread.  In the meantime, I had the granite walls cleaned and re-sealed, the granite and glass joints re-caulked as well all the hardware re-caulked where it meets the granite, the granite floor mortar was removed and redone, and finally a hole cut in two places in the drywall on the opposite side of the shower wall to see if the leak could be detected from that point which it wasn't.  I have yet to have the drywall repaired and the wall painted.  Same person came out to try and figure out our dilemma each time.  From the start I (who has zero expertise in plumbing) suggested removing the panel behind the on/off lever to see if that is where the leak was occurring since this is where the water developed a water mark which was getting worse each time I used the shower.  The plumber did not listen to me and said it couldn't be the problem and to continue using the shower.  I didn't continue using that side of the shower.  I was charged each time they came to my house. I then started using the shower head on the opposite side (there are two shower heads in the same shower area) and the drip pattern on the leaking side dried up completely except on the floor of the shower under the granite tiles. Low and behold the SAME PROBLEM started with the opposite side shower on/off lever with the same drip pattern happening AGAIN but now on the opposite wall!  I called GB to voice my frustration because it was now happening with both on/off levers on opposite sides.  I also voiced my frustration that the panel in back of the on/off lever was never removed to see if the leak was coming from when the water was turned on which was what I suggested from the get-go.  Finally the owner came to my home to see if he could figure out the ongoing issue.  As it turns out I was correct, the leak was occurring behind the on/off lever panels on both sides of the shower.  If they would have done this on the FIRST VISIT, I wouldn't have incurred the above mentioned expenses in trying to figure out the issue with various vendors providing their services.  I just received yet another bill from GP for parts and service for their final visit.  While I agree I should pay for the parts, are you kidding me in charging for a service call after previously charging me for 3 visits and not rectifying the leak the first 3 visits?  Bad choice in charging me for service the final time, after all the aggravation and additional needless expenses I incurred, the final service portion of the bill should have been comped.  It is time to take my business elsewhere.

worst service I have ever experienced.  I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for quality service.

I wont use them for anything! they sent a clown to my house, on 08/03/2021.  I requested and annual AC service, this fool went straight to my furnace and lied and said the heat exchanger and and evaporator coils were bad, a new furnace/AC would cost $6000-7000!  the dimwit barely look at the AC, which was the initial request for service! I was a loyal Hollway and Meyer customer. I will never call them again!!  screw king heating, FOOLING & scumming!!

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!!!

Now looking at these two other reviews, I feel I should comment because after all the total experience is what matters. I called for an elderly neighbor who needed a new toilet. We purchased a toilet at home depot, then got what seemed like a reasonable quote from them. I was not able to be there, but got a call from them saying that the toilet was installed but that the flow going into the bowl was very low definitely sub par. They offered to take this new toilet out and replace it with one from their warehouse the next day. Hmm I thought, ( I was feeling pressured to decide for this elderly lady, and time is money as he kept repeating) so I decided no and asked them to take the brand new toilet out, and that we'd return it to Home Depot and start again. I got a call 15 minutes later saying problem was resolved that there was a rag stuck inside the brand new toilet. Hmm...
What do you folks think? Scam or honest mistake?
Wouldn't a seasoned plumber check inside the bowl before installing, or the Home Depot return people check before restocking it. that's IF the toilet had been previously purchased unbeknownst to us?
Too many if, buts, or maybes I think.
Just keep all your senses alert, if you still choose to use them.
Price was competitive, I'll say that.
