Best Water Heater Repair in Chicago IL

These guys are great! They are very responsive and professional. . . they came out and even tried to save me money by suggesting they didn't need to root a drain. While they were right (it was more a precautionary move on my part) I was thankful that they clearly were trying to have me avoid the cost of rooting.

They also recommended a temporary tweak to avoid debris getting into the drain while I await repair.

Would definitely recommend these guys!

Where do I even begin?!? I got a call from my tenant on Christmas Day (Sunday, 12/25) letting me know the water heater was not working - the pilot light would not stay lit. I found FastPlumbing247 via Google on my way to the unit early Monday morning. Mac was very nice and helpful on the phone. Once I checked out the water heater with my own handyman (my dad) and he could not fix it, we called Mac again to get an estimate for FastPlumbing to come look at the water heater as well as the cost to have the whole thing replaced. Again, he was very helpful on the phone. My husband and I had already filed a claim with our home warranty company and someone was scheduled to take a look at it Tuesday morning so we did not move forward with FastPlumbing on Monday. I had a terrible feeling the water heater was not going to be fixed in a timely manner by the contractor sent out by the home warranty company, and boy, was I right.

The other company said there was a part that needed to be ordered to fix it, that they would overnight it, and fix it Wednesday when it came in. A few hours later we found out the part would not be in for 1-2 days, which was completely unacceptable as they had said it would be overnighted AND it was the middle of winter with no hot water in the unit. I immediately called Mac and asked if he would be able to check out the heater and replace it the same day if it came down to it. He said he could have his guys over there in less than an hour and that they would be able to replace it right away.

Turns out the first company diagnosed the issue incorrectly (and therefore ordered the wrong part turning this into an even bigger problem). Because of the urgency of the matter, the fact that the heater was 10 years old, and getting the part to fix it would only be a bandaid and cost almost half the amount of a new one with installation, we opted for a brand new heater.

Within 2.5 hours, FastPlumbing got to the unit, put the valve on the heater back together (because the previous guy had left it apart), diagnosed the issue, talked to us on the phone twice, left to purchase a new water heater, and installed it. I could not believe how fast and easy it was! They were quick, efficient, professional, friendly, and did not charge a cent over the quoted price. We were not there, but our tenants were very pleased with the in-person service as were we with customer service over the phone.

I would HIGHLY recommend FastPlumbing247 for any water heater repairs or replacement! I'd also like to point out that the quote we received when we called Monday, 12/26 was the same as the next day, despite it being a holiday (Christmas Day observed). Just want to give a big 'thank you' to Mac and his team for making the whole process quick and painless!

Rescue Plumbing is fantastic. I called about a clogged sink and they were able to have someone out within a few hours!  Pete and Noah were polite, friendly and knowledgeable.  I am so glad I called Rescue Plumbing and highly recommend them.

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
Discount Plumbing

Amazing service!
Live outside of state, Scott worked great with tenants to quickly repair leaking garbage disposal.
Fast reliable and reasonable
Highly recommend business for plumbing repairs.

This one star is not a reflection on they're work product but business practice. After calling to get a quote at 7am on 2 different scenarios( one fixing the leak, two replacing all the pipes for my house gas line) At the end of the phone call with the answering service lady, I was informed that I will be charged a $25 fee for the plumber to come out and take a look at the job.  Since when are you charged for that? What happened to just sending pictures and discussing a job on the phone? 13 hours later, I never got a call back from Rocket Plumbing.

Jose was excellent. Fast service, second time using him and will continue. Mayra was excellent as well

We've used First Chicago Plumbing a few times and have always had a great experience. Their customer service is quick, responsive and friendly. We had a blocked drainage line backing up in our basement. They moved things around to  come out the same day we called and their pricing was fair. They aren't the cheapest but we've used other services and you get what you pay for. They were upfront about their pricing. Will definitely use them again.

Sound was prompt and fixed a broken external faucet that had been leaking for a while.  Everyone was very friendly and pricing was fair.

Uneventful; just how I like it.  Thanks guys.

I called Jesus and I got an estimate upfront on my water heater installation, which was around $1485 for the water heater and labor itself. He came the next day to install and kept a very clear communication of what was going on. Long story short, my house is very old with a lot bad piping and he end up having to replaced my pipes, a 2-3 hour job for him became a 5 hours job, which he had to cancel his other jobs and only charged $500 more for changing out all the pipes and drilling a hole through the wall to make it work. Jesus is friendly, personable, and charges reasonable. He also told me the problem is within my chimney and needed inspection and cleaning. He also told me to call him for any issues and to follow up with the situation. I couldn't be of more grateful, thanks guys!

There's a reason they have 5 stars. I reached out through Yelp and explained my situation. Kevin replied quickly with suggestions on things to trouble shoot before scheduling someone to come out. When those ideas didn't work, it was easy to set up a time to have someone come out. I was prepared to take a full day off of work, but was shocked when they arrived on time, and were in and out in less than 10 minutes. It was an easy fix, no upselling or gimmicks. Even told me to call back if I started having the same problem again and let me know what next steps would be.

It's such a relief when you find a company that's reliable and honest. I went in to work relieved that the issue had been addressed and that I know who to contact with any plumbing issues.

Side note: so respectful of my home. Wore a mask and booties, didn't leave a mess, and greeted my pup.

I requested a quote on Yelp to find a plumber for a line backing up with raw sewage into a walkway. Mike and another guy came and rodded out the main line and found a problem with a small sidewalk drain also.  They responded and came within a couple of hours.  Were knowledgable, fixed the problem right away, were very fair and also so pleasant.  Their work was guaranteed. I wont use another plumber after this.

I called this morning around 7:30 to service a leaky toilet that was making
a mess, and Adam Avizius showed up by 9:30 to fix it. He and his teammate Andy were in and out in under 30 minutes. They were professional and clean and fast. What more can you ask for!? It wasn't the cheapest, but I didn't have time to get a bunch more quotes and I doubt other companies would have been much cheaper.

I can't say enough about the service I received from ABV!  My hot water heater went out - other plumbers were giving me dates a week or more away!  Not sure how we would have showered - it's 10° outside and I think our water was even colder!  Talked with them last night and they were out here by 8:30am!  Did great work and I am looking forward to a nice hot shower

Dmitry responded immediately to my phone call. He requested that I send photos of the problem so he could know in advance what they would be dealing with and be prepared. He explained the pricing clearly. He was accommodating about the appointment time. Lenny came on time, did nice work and was neat. I will be using them again.

Juan was very responsive. He explained the process to me and even went to buy a new toilet once we decided I needed a new one. He and his brother worked quickly and was very respectful of my home. I will definitely call them again when needed.

Noel was very professional and I would Highly recommend him to any homeowner.  He replaced drainlines for my kitchen sink.  He was also able to come out the same day that I called about the leak.  I will be using him again and recommend him to all my friends and family!

Geoff was awesome! Remely professional, efficient, and very considerate and helpful. He kept on his mask, put on covers for his shoes, moved quickly and explained everything to me on a basic level. He did everything efficiently and they have reasonable rates. They came promptly after my service call was made yesterday and work with me to get this done quickly.

I have used Apex for big projects as well as for small projects and I highly recommend this company. He also has a great demeanor and spent a few moments to talk to my toddler who kept asking him questions! Ask for Geoff!

Solid company and solid techs!

Had an immediate need to have someone come and look at some noise related to my sump pump. Called on Thursday and they came on Friday and did the work immediately. Very customer service oriented. Also appreciate it when anyone comes into your home and respectfully protects your floors and carpet by putting slippers on thier shoes and cleaning up after the servicing. Highly recommend. Found them through Yelp and am very pleased.

I just found my go-to plumber! Victor was very responsive and fixed my drain clog immediately. I can recommend him and his company to do any plumbing work. Reasonable price too! Will call him again!
