Best Toilet Repair in Chicago IL

I had a problem with a basement toilet overflowing when the upstairs toilet was flushed. I had one plumber out who rodded the drain from the basement to the city main.  Next day problem persisted. Went to Yelp and via high recommendations called Drain-EEZ. On the 15th of November they came out and re- power rodded.  Asked me what the cost of the previous plumber was.  I told him $250 and he replied, well you got a $250 job. I was then given a quote of $595 and I agreed, figuring you get what you pay for. Drain-EEZ rodded the same drain pipes and cleared the blockage - temporarily.  

Today, 37 days later, I calledDrain EEZ and told them the problem was back.  I was told that it was past the 30 day warranty and that it would cost me about half (almost $300) to have them re-rod it. I was told that there might be a problem with  the drain, and that they do not have cameras.  Lesson learned. Suggestion to my fellow consumers:  ask if the plumbing/drain people have cameras and have any other questions ready including length of guarantee. Also regarding such rave reviews on Yelp, I was told that It would be appreciated if I wrote a favorable review. I wonder how many other reviews were solicited?

Let's start this review by saying that I created this problem because I thought I could play plumber. I broke the pipe upon which my bath spout fits.

I live in a high rise and was very concerned that any leaking would enter neighboring units and put me on the hook for many thousands of dollars. I emailed rescue plumbing based on their reviews and I could not be happier.  The owner of the company called me with in 12 hours after I submitted the request late at night. He was willing to attempt giving me a quote over the phone with the obvious warning that things could change if the problem were something else.

His guys Pete and Paco showed up the next day, assessed the problem and got to work after reassuring me that everything was gonna be okay and that he could handle the job. They also patiently and kindly answered all of my million nervous questions. The walled me through the job told me exactly what they would do. As the plan changed a little bit, the updated me along the way.

Throughout all of this my building has a tendency to be very intolerant of contract work and as expected got very angry despite approval from my building engineer. Pete handled them like a champ. He talked on the phone with the engineer and handled our disgruntled security man with nothing but smiles, professionalism and class.

Even though the job was about $200 more than expected they told me this upfront and they were still hundredSSSSS of dollars cheaper than the guy I had assess the job before them. They were able to fix everything without removing tile and entering any other units or turning off water for my neighbors (which The Other Guys said they would need to).

Rescue plumbing all the way. If anything happens in the future I will not hesitate to call them and neither should you!

There is a reason this guy doesn't have a review of less than 5 stars. He's good.  And dependable. Scott came out on a Monday after I messaged him late on Saturday. He saved us $3-4k.  We found our new go to plumber.

Our hot water heater started leaking this past weekend so we called around for quotes on fixing and or replacing. Some companies told us that they were no longer taking appointments for hot water heaters, while others wanted to schedule us down the road. Rocket Plumbing showed up the next business day, an hour early for their scheduled appointment, gave us an extremely reasonable replacement quote, and had the new hot water heater installed within 2 hours. The Service Technician, Tony, was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Rocket Plumbing for your plumbing needs, and we will be calling them again in the future.

I've used these guys twice, which is the problem.  They come out promptly the guy curses alot, which isn't professional.  Overlooking that here is the problem, they charged $275 each time to rod my main sewer line.  The second time they said well, it's been more than 6 months so there is another charge.  Today I call, since it was done in early December, and I now have my sump pump backing up into my toilet every time it turns on, because the sewer line is clogged.  The line is blocked again, less than 2 months after they were out!  When I call they say they don't give a warranty of any sewer line work.  I've called 3 other places and they all say, we warranty our sewer line work, to call the original place!  So, I've wasted $550, only to have to hire a real professional in an emergency situation, who will offer a warranty and stand behind their work!  Please don't waste your money here, you'll just wind up needing to hire someone else in a short time.

This was the first time i've used these guys- I found them by Yelp review so I had no way of knowing their work from a personal referral. I was having a hard time getting a plumber to change a bad stem in the bathtub- it's a small job, I know, but I couldn't do it myself. Eugene and his partner came and I realized it was a good thing I called them- I knew my bathtub plumbing was old and hard to find parts for but they managed in a Mc Gyver way to replace the stem, and it works. Plus these guys were very friendly- they met me at the door with a handshake and a smile. They were polite, and very, very informative.  They also made suggestions on updating the tub hardware which I am going to do, and I plan to let them do the work.

I had to have a garbage disposal replaced...  they were so easy to work with.  I called for an estimate which was very reasonable but then I always assume the work will end up being on that high end but it was actually lower!  They called bc they were running early!!  So nice to not sit around and wait until the last second of the time window on whether or not they will show up.  He was very efficient, gave me options for what could/could not be done and cleaned up.  I would definitely recommend them.

Excellent, professional service. Jesus was available right away to diagnose a potential plumbing problem in a property I was purchasing. He gave me a free quote to assess the problem, and it was a breeze to schedule the fix once I acquired the property. He cleaned and put a camera in my sewer main line. I was able to visibly see the difference between the clogged line and the clear one after he cleaned it out. He cleared it all the way to the street. I very much appreciate his service.

Great company, extremely easy to schedule ,excellent work and are both professional and very courteous. I will be recommending Green Tech to all my family and friends.

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.

My sewer line along the house was blocked and required hydro-jetting. It was starting to become an emergency.  
Power rodding has never been successful on my line.
I had reached out to these guys because my regular plumber kept blowing me off for over a week.  Then the Arctic deep freeze came and nobody was working outside.  Every time I flushed a toilet I feared the backup into the tub.  My 15yo was restricted to 5 min showers which was a miracle in itself.  
Luckily, Jesse got his guys over the same day to clear the line.  The line was cleared quickly and efficiently.  
Looks like I have new regular plumber.  Thanks for the fast response and coming through for me.

Requested quotes through Yelp for a toilet install on Sunday night. ABV was the first to respond and had the best price. They showed up at 10 am the next morning and professionally installed the toilet and took away the old one. Couldn't be happier!

CJ plumbing is one of a few business I would recommend. When I called about relocating a copper pipe they were able to come out that same night and give me a very reasonable quote then came out the next morning to do the work. Lenny did exactly what I asked for and did a great job. I will call only them for my plumbing needs from now on.

Mike is awesome! What started out as a simple kitchen drain rodding, turned into an angioplasty of about an 18 section of drain pipe due to excessive amount of grease build up. Then, in spite of the drain pressure build-up exploding sludge all over him, he held his composure and cleaned everything up. Very professional with a great work ethic. Mike is now my new go-to plumber.

I have had Juan come out twice to look at 2 issues. He used his camera scope to diagnose a drain issue and also installed a new sump pump for me.

All around one of the best experiences I have had with a contractor. He was helpful in sharing his knowledge. He didn't take on work where he felt it was outside his expertise. When he did the sump pump install, it was very detailed and the price was very fair.

It's so hard to find an honest worker.  I think I found a great plumber today.  I called Noel this morning & he was here the same day.  He put down a tarp when he started the work & left the bathroom clean.  He was very pleasant, professional & has a charming Irish brogue.   He seems to have years of experience & went right to work.  He will be my new go-to person for plumbing!

Our outdoor spigot was leaking and I was hoping to get it fixed quickly because our outdoor watering system for plants is attached to it so needed to keep it on during hot season. I called and someone was able to come out the same day (no extra charge to come so quickly). Geoff was our plumber and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. I was nervous when he said he had to cut a hole in the ceiling but he made a very minimal, clean cut hole and even offered to vacuum up after! He showed me the how to work my new spigot and charged me what I thought was a very fair price... also it was what he quoted to start with which I appreciate. Highly recommend apex and Geoff!

I had my faucet replaced, and a valve replaced under the faucet.

Jan was great at explaining the problem and service, despite not having seen the faucet. I explained the issue and he knew what to do and recommend.   The team showed up at 8:00 AM, wore masks, were very friendly and got to work.  They finished the job quickly and efficiently, and stayed within the scope and quote price.  They even insisted on cleaning up even though I said it didn't matter and they didn't need to.  

Friendly, efficient, honest, and with quality work.  

Thank you Vanguard Plumbing and Sewer!

Look no further if you're in need of plumbing services. Victor from Plumbing 123 was exceptional. I was in need of plumbing work for a condo bathroom. The faucet knob was leaky. The tub/shower knob was loose and missing parts. The tub diverter spout was very stiff and difficult to use. I only had a short timeline to get this completed so I was stressed out...  but Plumbing 123 made my life super easy. Victor was very responsive and gave me a quote right away. We were able to schedule and coordinate a time for him to come in the next day. He was on time, thorough, knowledgeable, reliable, and professional. The vanity faucets were very difficult to disassemble, but he was patient, diligent, and got the job done. Everything looks great and is in perfect working condition again. I'm so incredibly happy I found this business. Definitely, 5-star service! I will be calling them again for all of my future plumbing needs.

Truly a garbage company.

You would think that a company offering repair services at a set price per hour and easy scheduling would be a dream come true. Absolutely not. I booked Fixer to do multiple repairs on my home as I recently moved to another state and was preparing my home for a new tenant. The Fixer that was assigned to my home was: 1) awful at communication to my property manager 2) bypassed nearby hardware stores and took over an hour to shop which cost me $140 alone. 3) I had to cancel the other jobs I scheduled because at the rate he was going the 1-2 hr estimation jumped to 5-6 hrs which would've cost more than originally planned 4) the contractor disclosed to my property manager that he was unlicensed (Fixer advertises on their website that contractors were licensed) 5) Didn't even finish the 1 job he had before he left.

I was charged nearly $440 for unfinished work for 1 job. It wasn't until I reached out to Fixer via email to figure what actually happened since it wasn't communicated. They explained to me that it was actually a two-day job and the Fixer would have to return. When were they going to tell me that? And I booked this service on that particular day for a reason because of the limited availability to have someone on-site for hours while we're not there. They gave me two options after I expressed my dissatisfaction and frustration: 1) they'll charge me a prorated rate for the unfinished work or 2) they'll come back at another time to finish the work and I won't be charged for the 2nd day which I really didn't have a choice but to choose. I couldn't leave the work unfinished or I'd have to find and pay someone else to finish their trash work on top of paying Fixer.

The only ways to speak with this company is via text or email. If you call the number they ask you to text, it only gives you an option to leave a message and never an opportunity to speak to a representative. The customer service is truly ridiculous. Finally, when I could have someone on-site for a full day, I went to schedule a time to have the work completed and was told I had to pay the full amount prior to having a Fixer return to finish what they originally left undone! They are scheduled to come in a few weeks and I pray to God that my experience isn't as awful as the first.

Maybe my experience was an one-off but I would never ever utilize this company's services again after this job is complete. Ever.
