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.

I had  purchased a home in Bloomingdale and only a month went by before the sewer backed up. I got 5 bids to do the work and B and A was the most reasonably priced and knowledgeable of the 5. The work went well, they showed up on time were very pleasant and did a good job of cleaning up after. I was not happy about having to tear up the yard but I am sure happy I contacted B and A for my sewer repair project. Thanks

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 called and left a voicemail message on a Monday morning, 48 hours later I have still not received a phone call or text.

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!

Our service was fantastic, by the very friendly and competent owner. We will use his services whenever we need help with anything around the house.

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

Very very satisfied customer here! My sump pump broke a couple days ago and the backup had to take over. Unfortunately with all the snow melting and all the rain that we got, the backup pump simply couldn't keep up. We originally got another company to replace the pump and thought that the issue was resolved. They said we needed to replace the whole system and how the pump replacement was just a temporary solution until we got the new system. It seemed to work since water was no longer overflowing but the water level in the pit still seemed high. Today the alarms started beeping for one reason or another so we decided to call Glenbrook plumbing. Bill came out to look at everything and he mentioned that the sump pump wasn't working. Yes, the same pump that was replaced a couple days ago already broke. He offered to replace it but suggested to contact the other company since it might still be under warranty. So we contacted the other company that originally replaced it to see if they can fix it. Keep in mind that we already paid $1400 to the other company just a couple days ago to replace the pump that's already broken after only a couple days. They said that it broke because it was working too hard and that we really need to just get a whole new system. They quoted us $13,000 to get this new system put in and we said we would think about it. We called Glenbrook again and Bill came back out to replace the broken pump. Bill basically gave my brother a crash course on sump pumps and replaced the broken pump for $476! The water in the pit immediately drained and all 3 pumps are now functioning! Bill and Glenbrook Plumbing are getting my business for all my plumbing needs and will be recommending them to the home owners association in the event that any of the other residents ever need help!

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.

Our experience with King was great.  Starting with the estimate from Ralph, all the way through the installation with Terry & his crew of Rob and Carlos, we were very satisfied.    Everything went smoothly and we are happy with the service we received.

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!!!

Service completed one year ago and the leaking came back. Called Mike and the phone was answered the first time. Promised that he would called me back when he returned to the office but never did. The calls were then never answered. Very disappointed.
