Best Drain Installation in Chicago IL

Called Drain-EEZ for a clogged kitchen sink.  The woman who answered the phone at the office was pleasant and let me know Pat (Plumber) would be calling me shortly to confirm his arrival time.  About 5 minutes later, Pat called..and about 20 minutes after that he was at my front door.  

Would highly recommend Pat.  Great guy and a skilled plumber.  Took care of my clogged drain issue quickly and professionally.  Would not hesitate to contact him again.

Not a big deal for me, but worth noting that they do not accept credit cards.

Peter came with his son to do a camera inspection - they were timely, communicative, gave us all the options and were great to deal with.  From the moment I contacted the company they responded IMMEDIATELY! and came out quickly.
We will definitely be using them in the future!!!

Scotty is a true professional. Setting up an appointment was easy. Scotty called and confirmed two days prior to our scheduled appointment. He arrived promptly on the day of our appointment and got right to work. Scotty got the job done  in a timely manner and work he did wasn't easy. I will definitely be calling him again for any more plumbing issues I might have.

I definitely recommend Rocket Plumbing. Brian was very pleasant to work with and did a great job fixing everything.  I was able to get everything fixed the same day that I called.  Would definitely use this company again.

I had a water leak from my basement drain standpipe. I called Chicago Sewer & Drain, and David and his crew responded. After making an assessment I was quoted a price that included televising and water jetting to clear the clog. Unfortunately, the waterjet pump failed. The same crew returned several days later to finish the job. The lads on the team were all professional in explaining the problem and fixing it. I had a flood control in the front yard that was where the clog started I was reminded that only toilet paper is to down the toilet and not all things that are flushable can get past the flood control device.

This review is a long time coming, and frankly, it is so well deserved that I feel guilty I haven't done it sooner. Simply put, Jose and his crew are the best. They are probably the most responsive company I have ever dealt with, which, when it comes to plumbing (i.e. Honey, we have an emergency!), is huge. They have saved the day on numerous occasions (backed up ejector pump, questionable sump pump sounds, water heater out), during which they likely had *numerous* opportunities to upsell me new equipment, charge me for additional services I didn't need, etc....but they were straight-up, honest, informative and friendly. Truth be told, they have probably saved me between $1-2k since I moved into my (125 year old) home almost 3 years ago. I won't use anyone else - the 5 star Yelp reviews speak for themselves. I can only hope they don't get *too* popular so that they are available to respond to the next plumbing disaster at my house!

We had a great experience with First Chicago. We were having a pest problem with our sump and ejector pumps, but, being new homeowners, really had no idea what to do. I didn't even know what an ejector pump was! First Chicago was informative and responsive. I particularly appreciate their ability to answer questions over email, if it's difficult to talk on the phone during the day. They took the time to understand the problem and recommended a great course of action. They were also the lowest quote we got for these services. Highly recommend!

I interviewed 5 plumbers before deciding to work with Kevin on our kitchen remodel and updates to two bathrooms. Kevin is fantastic. He's meticulous, taking care not only to get things done right but also to make his work look beautiful. That's no easy feat in a vintage building with old pipes, but he managed to do it. I have already recommended him to our neighbors.

Couldn't be more impressed and pleased by the dynamic duo of Diego and Eric! We experienced a minor flood in our basement due to an overflow in the sewer system late one evening. I did a quick search for local plumbers in the northshore area with high ratings and J Sewer and Drain Plumbing popped up. After submitting several requests to multiple plumbers, they were the quickest with responding, thorough in trying to identify the issue that evening and made arrangements to come out first thing the next morning. Since we had guests visiting the next day, timing was key. They arrived promptly at 9 am, were direct with the steps needed to resolve the issue instead of giving us the runaround and worked diligently to fix it. Given the strain of WFH during a pandemic, they were respectful of the work calls I also had to take and worked with me to ensure I was well aware throughout the process.

I would highly recommend anyone looking for a plumber who offers that level of service and strives to go above and beyond for their customers!

Outstanding experience. I'm not a friend or related to the owner or anything but am so glad I found them. Fast, very responsive, professional and reasonably priced. We had a main drain rotted out and a laundry sink unclogged. Kevin was terrific to deal with and he has earned a life-long customer.
If you need a plumber, you need to call. You will not be disappointed and will also never need to worry about needing to find a plumber again.
There's a reason there are so many excellent reviews. These guys are the best.

Loved that they showed up on time, with face mask and shoe covers. They were extremely clean when rotting. They fixed the backup I was having.  A few days later I contact them again because I was having a small leak where they rotted and they came back to fix it. Highly recommend them and will be using them again for any plumbing issues.

Trust-worthy business, very responsive to customers' needs, high quality work, and great value.  

I have an old building.  I noticed the basement dirt ground seemed moist but did not pay much attention.  Then few months back, things got a lot worse.  First, the ground was sinking fast, then the sewer water started gushing out whenever I use water.

I contacted two 5-star popular plumbing services on Yelp.  They looked at the situation and told me that they need to dig down at 3 spots and replaced sewer lines there, but it will take at least 2 days to finish the job, and they cannot start until next week.  They also tried to rot and jet, neither cleared the line.  Frustrated, I searched again on Yelp and found Capitan rooter, and it turned out to be the best choice I made.

Joel was able to provide a quote over the phone based on problem described.  A detailed proposal was sent shortly.  The very next day, Oscar and the crew stopped by and started on the job.  The crew were the most efficient plumbers I met. Oscar immediately identified the main spot of problem, which was different than the spot identified by the other two companies.  I am so glad he made the right call because the other spot did not have the sewer line under the ground at all, which meant if I were to hire those companies, they would have been digging all over my basement.  

Once the crew rotted line clear, camera to locate the issues, each started digging and replacing the broken pieces. They were very careful handling my sewer line as those were made of clay; they replaced the broken pieces with SCH40 and made significant improvements.  They installed a new opening for rotting.  Oscar also replaced an incorrectly installed kitchen drain line.  By the time he reached the broken line, the replacement line was far more than the initial quote covered, but he completed the job anyway because he wanted to be sure that I could have a functioning line on the same day.  After the job was completed, they installed new cement and even cleaned up all the broken pipes, cements, and dust.  I cannot thank the crew enough for their outstanding work, professionalism, care for the customer and their property.  It was a very pleasant experience.

They also gave 5 year warranty on their work, but I am sure it will last much longer than that.  In addition, they also offered 2 free follow-up maintenance rotting.  The company also offer 18-month financing for those who need it.  Did I mention their pricing was better than the 2 other companies I noted?

Overall, I would highly recommend Capitan rooter to anyone with sewerage problems.  They offer the best combination of quality, value, efficiency, and reliability.

Darrell and Nel got to my house less than an hour and a half after my initial call.   They quickly fixed our electrical issue.     Excelent service.

Chris came exactly on time to fix a clogged drain in our bathroom sink. He did the job quickly and charged a very fair price for his work. I would highly recommend ABV and definitely will use them again.

Trust! I think trust is most important in choosing an expert to fix a problem. Of course experience, knowledge, ability and integrity are also needed. But trusting the reviews written by others or trusting the recommendation of a friend is sometimes all we have to go by. I had a clogged drain about 15 feet downstream from my kitchen sink. It was the result of overzealous use of the garbage disposal. I tried snaking the drain myself but the clog was too big (turns out about 2 feet of drain was totally blocked). I did research on several websites looking for a plumber in my area who I could trust to do the work right - at a fair price. I narrowed the list to 4 companies. At 7:15 PM on a weekday I called each of them. I got two answering services that could not answer any of my technical questions, another said they would have someone call me back in a few minutes (never happened) and then there was Dmitry. Dmitry is one of the owners of CJ Plumbing. He answered the phone himself. He was able to discuss my issue intelligently, explain the likely scenarios and give me an estimated price range (min and max) for the job. It was clear from his questions and his input that he understood the problem and knew the likely solutions. As it turns out, he was absolutely correct about the issue and what it would take to fix it. I wanted to consider what he said before making a commitment. He said I could call him back anytime in the next few hours. I called several hours later and again he answered the phone and we scheduled a visit for the following afternoon.

The plumber who showed up (not the person I spoke to) was a delight to work with. He was professional, polite, and patient as he answered my many questions. He tried a few easy options to fix the problem (e.g. using a powered drain snake). When those did not work he said the best option was to cut out the clogged section of drain (which he had located) and replace it with a new section of pipe. The clogged part of the pipe included two 90 degree bends. He removed that section and replaced the sharp bends with pairs of 45 degree bends to allow waste to pass through the more easily. The drain pipe ran along the ceiling of my unfinished basement so there was direct access to the pipe. After replacing the section of pipe he verified that there were no leaks and cleaned up the area of the basement where he worked as well as the area under the kitchen sink. He even cleaned the sink.  

I was VERY pleased with his work and with his personality. The cost of the repair was within the range quoted on the phone (though near the higher end). My trust in CJ Plumbing was rewarded by their performance and their honesty. I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to friends and family. I recommend them to YOU.

I just got a condo and bought it knowing the master bath did not have a working toilet, no water in the tank even with the valve turned on. I sent out the general yelp estimate search and Mike gave me a call back right away. I told him the issue and he was able to come out same day. He got my toilet working fast and helped me with my new shower head. The price was great and will definitely be calling him when i need things done in the future.

Juan to the rescue again. Same issue, first floor unit. Same expedient and professional service from Juan. Thanks!!!

I have used Five Plumbing for every issue I've had come up and will continue to do so. Noel is up-front, no-nonsense and goes the extra mile to make sure things are done the right way.

I've needed a plumber a couple times this year... once for a garbage disposal replacement and then to unclog a common line in our condo building.  Apex came through both times with quick service and friendly, knowledgeable technicians.  It's nice to know we have a local company to rely upon!

Had them come in for a look at my plumbing got here on time, took only two hours and was able to identify and fix the issue. Customer service was out of the world and the service guy George was amazing. Will recommend their service and George to anyone in need of a plumber.
