I had been calling a number of plumbers for an emergency repair, and Apex was the only one that even picked up the phone - even at places that advertised 24-hour service. I had a leak from a first-floor unit into the basement. Aidan came out in about 30 minutes and was able to find the problem in a galvanized, 90-year-old riser and replace it in about four hours. Because I had been calling plumbers since the night before, I was truly impressed with the service. Low key, nice, professional, everything you want in a plumber.

I have used Jan many times and am very impressed.  He is very knowledgeable and his pricing is reasonable.  Vangaurd is my go to when I need plumbing work.  There is also a plumber named George that works for Vangaurd that is great as well.  I would recommend him to anyone.  I even used them for my attic remodel instead of my contractor's plumber.

Victor is a rock star!  He rodded my kitchen sink that had a bad grease clog.  He took out the rusting pipes and replaced them with PVC.  Plus he's the nicest guy ever.  I would have paid three times as much with a different plumber.  He had the best estimate.  I highly recommend him!!!

Edgar from Fixer came to my house to troubleshoot a ceiling fan that wasn't working.  He identified the problem and made the repair in less than an hour.  Neat, friendly, helpful...Edgar communicated well and got the job done.  This is the 4th time I've used Fixer and have always had a good experience.  Use them!

Eric at Drain Works was at my location in 3 hours same day to take a look at a sub pump issue that turned out to be a back flow problem.  He diagnosed, explained my options, got the new part and fixed it.  Extremely personable and they know what they are doing.  Very happy with Eric and Drain Works and will be on my speed dial as its hard to find good honest plumbers....especially in the city!

I called this company after suspecting that my sewage drain was being overrun by roots.

Bert is honest and spends the time explaining the issue and did not rush me through my questions. I especially liked how he kept me in the know by sending me pictures of my sewage drain as he was snaking his camera around.

I would like to thank Zach and Vinny from Kevin Szabo Plumbing for the great job they did replacing a section of pipe under my basement floor. I highly recommend them for your plumbing needs.

Plumbing Pros have been excellent to work with.  Gary has been knowledgeable and thoughtful about how to handle a complicated problem with our master shower.  He's fixed it and has offered good next steps.  His pricing has been fair (one visit he didn't charge anything even though he spent time researching the core issue). He typically brings an apprentice with him which shows his character that he's trying to properly train tomorrows plumbers.  I highly recommend Plumbing Pros.

Great people. Fast response and very professional and guaranteed work. I will definitely use them again!

We switched our kitchen sink and I needed to move the drain, install garbage disposal, and install new kitchen faucet.  I received a couple of quotes which were around the same price.  I talked to Andrew H. and felt like he was the best option.  He explained least case, min case and best case options and why and let me choose what worked for me.  He had an open dialogue before, during and after the project.  He was careful and thorough and extremely knowledgeable.  I will be requesting Andrew for all future plumbing work!!  Great experience!!

I wanted to replace my bathroom faucets and Arco definitely had the best price,1/2 of what a few others quoted me. Jason was super nice and did a fabulous job! I will certainly use them again in the future.

Tim was easy to book, professional. prompt and friendly. Not only did he expertly repair a range of broken items, but I had the most delightful conversation with him. I will definitely be booking him for more tasks in the upcoming months.

I had a clogged underground downspout drain in La Grange area.  Just noticed it during installation of new gutters, replacing probably 40 year old gutters.  Rooter showed up within an hour for a free estimate.  He got hands on and showed me how extremely jam packed it was with dirt and roots.  It had probably been that way for years and years.

He offered a few solutions and was honest about the probability of it being a total loss anyway after trying those solutions, needing to dig up and replace the pipe.  In the end, I think I'm going to avoid it altogether and go with a normal above ground downspout solution.  

Rooter has fast, reliable, honest service.  I'm going to call them again the next time I need a plumber.

After a minor overflow caused by torrential rains we had some water seep in through our drains leaving minimal, but standing water. I was away on business and found this team through YELP. They responded instantly, despite the majority of the city having flooded.

Robert arrived, explained honestly that outside of a flood prevention system, this was likely to be an issue. But in his inspection noticed that our pumps were clogged as well as our catch basin, which was severely backed up. We were informed that, clearing these may have helped prevent the water seepage but wouldn't guarantee it. However I knew these systems needed to be cleaned and maintained and he offered to help us on the spot. I appreciate honestly. They're also very confident and knowledgeable about what to do and expect.

This is a team I will call for any plumbing needs in the future. Knowing I can ask a question, get an honest answer, and the work done is peace of mind not always available.

Early Sunday morning my only toilet would not flush.  It's almost impossible to find a plumber on Sunday.  If you do, they charge outrageous fees.  Luckily
I came across the Good Guys.  Dominick came right out & quickly found out it was not an easy fix since it is an old house with very old pipes. The next day a he came out  & started the project.  Later the rest of the crew came out to help.  They worked all day & night finishing the major job.  They did a great clean up & was very fair & reasonable.  They worked very hard on an extremely tough job in a limited space.  If you want a job well done at a fair price, I extremely recommend the Good Guys.

I called Goode plumbing for a second opinion when another plumber threw a HUGE estimate at me to fix a single pipe.

I've been around the block enough to know that shopping solely on price with contractors is a bad idea. You can save money here and there but if you're after nickels and dimes you're just doing yourself a disservice as a customer.

But boy was I relieved when Goode's estimate for the same work was less than half of the other company's price! The plumber on site was clear to me about what was wrong and why, and how the fix would be done. He was also familiar with the type of material in the building and was honest with me about options to go above and beyond vs just do what needs to be done to get a confident fix.

They did the work, at less than half what the other company said it'd cost, and my leak is gone. I'll come back to them for any big job I need.

We were referred to Walter from another plumber who was unable to pick up our job, and I'm glad we were. The basement in our condo building was flooding, and Walter and his crew were quick to respond and were more than thorough in determining the cause. Our line was holding water, and no amount of rodding or jetting was clearing it. He knew there was either some sludge blockage or dip in the line, and he suspected the latter. He also looked at the fire hydrant in front of our building and determined when it had been installed - turns out the hydrant was installed around the time that flooding became an issue in our basement. That told Walter that the city likely had messed up our sewer line somehow when they installed the hydrant, and if he could prove it to the city, the city would fix it for free. Thanks to Walter's experience with the City of Chicago, 311, and the Private Drain Program, he knew the steps we had to go through to get the city involved, and he knew of another plumber with special equipment powerful enough to clear the line - all of which would need to be present at the same time at our building to look at the line. Walter orchestrated this himself.

Long story short, the city came out, the line was cleared, the city inspector saw the dip was the city's fault, and they are now scheduled to come out and fix our sewer line. And after paying Walter for several trips out to rod and jet the line that was still holding water at that point, Walter gave us that final jetting with the special equipment that cleared the line for free.

Highly recommended, trustworthy, and hard-working. Call this man.
