Best in Chicago IL

Mr. Burris is professional, informative and knows his business. In addition to addressing the problem that I called him for (low pressure in my multi-unit building), the things that he taught me about regular maintaining my plumbing and things I can do to prevent problems, made his reasonable service fee more than worth it.

Jake came out on a Saturday Labor Day weekend to help with standing in my basement. He was so friendly and professional explained everything and it turned out to be just a jammed float in our ejector. He refused to even charge the full service fee and just took a small amount of money! Blown away! Highly recommend and will definitely be calling them when we need to do the next project! Thanks Jake

Martin is an excellent handyman and a reminder of why it's best to leave it to the professionals.

I had several pending home projects, and he completed them quickly and accurately. He even offered suggestions on where certain items should be placed.

I highly recommend this company for any home projects.

This is a long-overdue review of an excellent business!  I've had them come for two jobs at my house: redoing closets and refinishing a cracked and peeling ceiling in the kitchen.  Both jobs were done flawlessly by workmen who were professional and friendly.  Compared to many conrators that take your money and do bad work, or take your money and leave a project half-finished (I've experienced both), these folks are conscientious, careful, and make sure that you're happy with the product. I will definitely come back with more work for them!

I was happy with their no nonsense straight forward approach that fixed my leak. Their charge for the work was more than reasonable. Would recommend. Thank you.

Would strongly avoid these guys and the associated headache.

They failed to fix the problem, only half-heartedly tried. They were slow to return when the issue immediately reappeared (despite it being obvious they didn't fix in the first place--they assured it had worked). They also didn't perform all the services charged for (scoping). And no itemized receipt for the services, conveniently. Required deposit, conveniently.

Had to get another company to fix their mess after a hefty bill. The other company did it faster, better, and cheaper.

Now they're ghosting on money they promised to return as a partial refund (itself frustrating since  other company was paid do what they failed to do). Not answering calls.

To call unprofessional is charitable.

During the Spring of 2017 my basement flooded at least w inches of water during heavy rains in chucago.  I had the lines Roddenberry 3 different  times thinking each time this will work.  Nope.  I purchased submersible sump pumps to send the water wherever it's supposed to go.  Finally, Spring 2019 was the food that broke the camels back.  I called United Sewer & Drain.  These guys came out with cameras and showed me the water pipe from the city to my property was broken on my side of the sidewalk.  United took out the old pipes, installed new pipes and Voila, no more flooding until the next heavy rain.  I called them back, they returned and discovered the pipe goongbto the drain at the back of the house between the basement back door and steps was broken.  How does that happen?  They dug up the concrete, installed bew pipe, concrete the area, made the drain a little larger than the ol one and I am now a happy camper.  Call these guys if you are having flooding problems.  Oh, by the way - before calling United I called the City, no help at all.

We can always rely on Excel plumbing to get the job done right and at a reasonable cost.  They are very courteous about advising of timing of the technicians.  Technicians are knowledgeable and polite as well..Have used them over the years for complex jobs such as installing a new water pressure pump to toilet repairs.

Our double kitchen sink started backing up and it was clear there was a drain clog.  Before calling anyone, I took apart the traps under the sink to make sure they were clear, which they were.  I then tried snaking deeper into the pipes, with no luck.

Time to call the experts.

Your Helpful Plumber was just like the name suggests...very helpful.  Called them around noon on a Saturday and was quickly given a window of 3-4 pm for them to come out.  They arrived promptly at 3:30 and got to work on fixing the clog. Within 30 minutes, everything was fixed, and I couldn't be happier.  I would definitely call them again.

I've used Thompson Plumbing on 2 occasions, for plumbing and the then for a gas leak. They were able to come same day, fixed the issue and for a price that was very reasonable. I highly recommend them.

After stupidly trying to fix my toilet myself, I cranked a pipe a little too hard and water started flowing. Tim showed up quickly to help, fixed the leak and let me know about some inherent problems with my current toilet. Tim suggested a good replacement at an affordable price.

Tim was polite, professional, and always tried to find the best deal for me.

We called Body plumbing to repair one of our leaking backflow valves. He gave us good price on the repair and he even came twice to work on it after the first attempt did not come out right at no extra charge. His pricing however on testing was good but we found better so we will use another company for yearly testing. We will definitively call him again to get pricing in the future though.

Needed to find a new Backflow inspection company for our home - as our previous vendor chose to shoot up prices beyond our budget.
I was very pleased to have discovered Chicago Backflow.
People I dealt with like Nick, Tiffany, Jessica - and our technician Alan are all superb.  I get the sense this company must be managed very well, because everyone has a very nice attitude and exudes warmth.
Alan showed up right on time at 7am (even with snow falling) and was efficient and had a very kind demeanor.
Price was appropriate.
I'll look forward to working with Chicago Backflow again on my annual inspection next year.  Thanks again, Mark S.

Called around 9:00pm on a weeknight to ask about a clogged kitchen sink / dishwasher drain. Tried to work out a time the following day to come by but schedules didn't align, so I said I appreciated the offer but would have to try to find someone that could come by in the morning. A short while later, John called back and offered to come right away. Was at my place within a few minutes. John assessed the problem, fixed it, and was out the door within 10-15 minutes.

Original quote over the phone was higher than I expected, but final price was quite a bit lower because John didn't want to under-quote without seeing the problem (which I appreciate).

Highly recommend. Will be leaving the business card he left me with the doorman at my building in case anyone else has any issues.

These guys arrived right on time and came early and they knew what the problem was right away.  They worked quickly and the quote from the company was accurate. would recommend again.

I've used All Suburban for my sump pump, ejector pump and just recently they repaired a broken sewer line.  All 3 have been emergency situations and they've been extremely responsive, friendly and professional.  

They're my go to for plumbing and highly recommend.

Pressure Pro got the job done. Our building building and our unit was notorious for weak water pressure, especially in the bathrooms. Jim and his guys got the pressure back up to a level I didn't think possible. Pressure Pro Rocks!

I have used the services of J Blanton Plumbing for well over 2 decades, at my home, my apartments, and even my dad's home. Excellent work. Great service techs who know their profession very well.

I just had Wally and Ted come to my home to rod out my slow-running kitchen drain. They cleared 50 feet of drain pipe, not just the kitchen p-trap. Super nice guys, too. They even put down a waterproof mat where they worked to protect the floor as they worked and cleaned-up completely before they left. Wally also rodded the kitchen drains in two apartments in a building I own earlier this week.

Scheduling is easy and they are quick to respond, especially in emergencies. Highly recommended!
