Best Gas Water Heater Repair in Chicago IL

Thank you to Mac (sp?) and Jim for my water heater replacement. They made the entire process very easy. All the steps from getting a quote, scheduling, and paying were very easy. I really appreciated the minimal in person contact during COVID times. I'll definitely keep this company in mind for future service.

Javier and Rescue Plumbing are GREAT!
Two weeks ago, my kitchen faucet started leaking very badly.
Javier and his partner arrived when they said they would and completed the install quickly and professionally. I got professional results at a reasonable price.
Javier's attention to detail is amazing. He noticed a scratch in the new faucet I purchased which I will address with the store where I bought it.
I will definitely recommend Rescue Plumbing to anyone with a repair issue and tell them to ask for Javier.
Thanks again for everything.

Our toilet flooded in the middle of the night on a Sunday. I didn't want to risk serious water damage, so I did a quick search & found fast response from Discount Plumbing. I requested a quote on yelp and they responded within minutes & they said a technician can come out & gives me a FREE quote with no obligation. They arrived in minutes and my toilet soon was able to flushing like it was brand new! I appreciate them walking in with booties and walking me through the whole process & answering my questions. Definitely took the customer service to another level with that. Plus, the 10% coupon helped..

Thank you

Great, responsive service. Scott was also able to loop in a unexpectedly required at the last min to get the job done. Would recommend for sure.

We needed someone to come and fix our water heater, so we called Rocket Plumbing.  The man on the phone was honest enough to say that his workers don't have a lot of experience with that brand, and, depending on what was wrong with the water heater, they might have trouble getting parts for it quickly.  Instead, he recommended another company, Design Temperature.

I had two different issues I was working on for my house.  The first issue was HVAC and the second was repairing pipes due to a recent valve replacement that resulted in diminished capacity.  In calling around for quotes I saw Windy City Plumbing and decided to call.

In talking to Jose, he mentioned an HVAC guy that was top notch. (Cernes Environmental) In calling them, they saved me thousands of dollars... defintely worth calling.

After getting Jose out to look at this job and describing my situation, he offerred a quote.  His approach is to give a Not to Exceed quote for work to be done.  It can come off as daunting, but he really does mean it.  If his quote is low, he absorbs the cost.  If the quote is high, he will reduce the actual billed.   This certainly is a start of what differentiates him from the rest.

He gave me a rough estimate and I'm looking forward to the paper estimate in the near future.

In the meantime, he came by to check another valve that another plumber had adjusted.  He found that the valve was not fully opened and that I no longer needed to do the multi-thousands of work.  This increases his trust value with me.

I'm looking forward to seeing the quote and seeing how we can work through getting the work done.

Nice guy, and very willing to help.

First Chicago Plumbing and Eugene in particularly were fabulous to work with.  We used First Chicago Plumbing to replace the galvanized pipes in our building with copper and it was a good experience through the whole process.  I especially appreciated that Eugene was very communicative through the whole process and took the time to explain all the equipment installed and what he had done that day or encountered in terms of complications.  Would definitely recommend!

I should have reviewed this a long time ago - my disposal started leaking under my sink...I posted on yelp for quotes or people that would be interested in my neighborhood for this small job.  I got a few responses but Sound got back to me right away and was able to come the next day. He offered to bring a comparable disposal or if I opted to get my own he would install.  I let him do it all.  Not only did he come and do the work fast and efficient - he also fixed the pressure on my sink that has boggled my mind since I've lived here.  Great guy - highly recommended.

Jesus responded to my request for a sewer clean out right away and was the best price so far. He showed up on time the day we scheduled and was very professional. He pointed out some corrosion the city had with their sewers and suggested we report it so that it doesn't affect our system. We will call him again for next years cleanout.

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.

Very professional and courteous. Came when they said they would, stayed within the price that they quoted, wore masks, and worked quickly. Highly recommend them.

Just want to say THANK YOU to Adam and his coworker who helped us on the leak we had at our place. First, they were able to be on site right away. Second, very responsive and they communicate well. Third, they will check everything until the find out the cause of the problem. Fourth, very nice/friendly so you don't feel pressured of any kind. Fifth, even after they have completed the job, they will let you know that they will be available to reach out, if problems occurs. Thank you again guys for all your patience and help.

We will definitely recommend you.

We had a great experience start to finish with ABV. When my in-laws' shower faucet began to get too loose and stop working, my husband tried to fix it. This, of course, resulted in the faucet breaking off completely and our need for some immediate help and repair. My husband sent out a yelp inquiry to a number of plumbers and ABV was the first to respond and also give us a flat rate of $125 for the repair. No one else would give us a flat rate and were also charging just to have someone look at it.

We set up an appointment the next morning with ABV. The plumber showed up right on time, giving us a text when he was 20 minutes away. He came prepared with the parts needed, was able to fix the issue in less than 30 minutes, and as a result only charged us a third of what his original flat rate we agreed on was since the repair was so easy and quick. You don't see that kind of honesty these days! The job was done with excellent quality and the faucet works like a dream now.

Had an ejector pump go out on a Saturday morning during the epidemic lockdown. CJ plumbing was able to get here within an hour to replace the pump. The tech was respectful of social distancing, complete with mask and gloves. Neat and tidy, friendly and professional. Straight forward reasonable transaction with no issues.

Plumber was very condescending over the phone and clearly did not want to take on the work. I was told that free estimates don't apply to condominium buildings. Very disappointed in the lack of professionalism and transparency with Apex.

This company has false advertisement. They do not charge per job. They charge PER HOUR. $195 to check my sub pump, and $350 to check with a camera. Basically to unscrew my pump and look inside is $195. To properly check my sub pump (with a camera) is $350. So basically you pay a ton of money for a half ass job and even more money for the correct way of doing things. Not only that but the guy that picked up was extremely impatient and rude and I wouldn't want someone like that checking anything on the property that I manage. No offense but why the heck am I going to pay a Plummer what most attorneys charge hourly? Seek elsewhere, unless you want to be completely ripped off.

The management left a comment below stating that I had a leak..... this is completely untrue. I did not mention anything of a leak and only asked about checking my sub pump. These prices above were just to check my sub pump. I ended up going with another company that came and did a free quote and even checked my sub pump with a camera. Unfortunately this company didn't get my business because of their unfair, crazy, prices to simply come out and check my pump. The other company that came out for free to check my pump ended up getting $2500 of my business and I paid cash. (They added a back up sub pump and did some foundation work)
Had this company been honest about their pricing they most likely would've gotten my business. I also would be aware of a company such as this, that will completely lie on a yelp review (see management comment) to try and make my review invalid instead of owning up to their false advertisement.

AVOID.

Victor (owner of Plumbing 123) was great!

My mom's house had a clogged drain line from the bathroom but the rest of the house's drains worked. I called several plumbers, described the situation,  and Victor gave me an estimate that was fair, stating I was 4th in line for the day should I accept.  I did accept.

He came before his estimated time and texted me to ask if that was OK.

He ran a camera up the drain line and showed me the roots that were causing the clog. He then cleared the clog with the machine that cuts the inside of the pipe clear and showed me the result by running the camera up the drain line again. My mom's clogged drain line problems were solved.

But Victor went above and beyond: He ran the camera towards the city's sewer line under the street (which had been draining well all along). He showed me a place where the main drain line had separated and one pipe had settled downward with respect to another, causing a narrowing of the sewer line. He suggested the city may own this part of the sewer line and that they need to fix it (rather than my mom having to hire a plumber).

I've kept Victor's number so I can call him next time my mom has a plumbing problem.

These guys were fantastic.  They scheduled quickly and where there the next morning.  Eric walked me through the issue and all steps of the project. The problem with fixed and our basement is DRY...  Hire with confidence.

Bathtub was slow to drain and needed to be cleaned out. I completed the Yelp ''Request a Quote and waited. All Rooter was not the first to respond to my Yelp request for an estimate but because of their positive reviews I waited a few hours - and they responded. My first impression was skeptical. My appointment time came and went and I did not hear from anyone. I sent a message via Yelp and received a prompt reply. Bert arrived, polite and professional. He evaluated the situation and quoted a price I thought was too high. We discussed the work and agreed on a price. Work was completed quickly and cleanly. Two days later the sink drain in the same bathroom became slow to drain. I left a message for Bert, who responded promptly, showed up later that day and cleared the sink drain.
After a slow start, All Rooter came through and proved the reason for their positive reviews. I've given 4 stars rather than 5 due to the initial lack of response (I had to contact them to find out if they were going to show up) and high estimate.
I recommend Bert and his team and will definitely call All Rooter again when I need a plumber.

Five Star Service. Excellent Communication. Honest and Reliable. 10/10 would plumb again
