Best Heater Repair in Chicago IL

We had an issue in our bathroom and needed urgent help. It was a Saturday night, right before a party we had planned at our place, and Pat came within 40 minutes. Another 40 minutes later we had all the issues resolved. Pat is a great and knowledgeable plumber with a great deal of experience. He's been working with his father's company since he was 14! He really knows his stuff.

Will be using them for all future plumbing needs.  Very responsive, accepting of questions, and provide thorough explanations.  Needed my hot water heater replaced in a tiny utility closet in my third floor condo (old building).  I didn't think we had enough space to get the old heater out of the closet because a new furnace had since been put in, restricting the space available to move the heater out.  But they squeezed the old one out and new one in and only had to remove some door trim from the inside of my closet (which I can re-attach).  Down to earth people I feel I can trust.

My garbage disposal broke. I figured it could likely he repaired but since garbage disposals are cheap, I figured I would just have it replaced. I called a little before 8am and someone was sent to me by 10:30. I asked for a quote before scheduling a plumber to come out and was told they did not offer phone quotes. Understandable.

The only, and biggest, issue was once the plumber arrived he quoted me $895 to replace a garbage disposal.

I have never in my life heard of a garbage disposal replacement costing that much. I immediately said no. He offered to try to clean it out, I asked how much that would be and was told $395. Again, absolutely not.

I really struggled writing this because while everyone was extremely nice, they were extremely timely, their pricing feels extremely predatory and outlandish. Almost offensive.

I ordered a replacement from home depot for $125 post-tax and paid a plumber from Task Rabbit less than $100.

Look past their charm and avoid overpaying for simple services.

UPDATE: Turned out that I didn't even need a replacement. Lol. My handyman was able to unclog my cheap garbage disposal in 15 minutes.

But your business choices to provide free quotes has nothing to do with me. I simply do not care if you paid for parking or paid your staff hourly to come do an estimate. $900 is absurd. And $400 to unclog is as well.

Now you are commenting ridiculous things under my review. My downtown condo did not need any new pipes, I never even talked to the man about to cost of the garbage disposal, even with quality disposal, $900 was absurd, no one bent over backwards.

Removing one star because there seems to be confusion around what I can AFFORD and what is reasonable.

They were respectful and did a great job fory Granny. I'll call you guys anytime.

Highly recommend Scotty - he was very responsive to emails and it was easy to schedule an appointment, although I caught him during a busy period.  He was prompt to the appointment, even gave me a call when he was 30 mins away.  His plumbing work was good as was the pricing. While my issue was relatively minor in scope, I would trust him for any job.

Will be using him again and highly recommend his services, although I hope I don't have to anytime soon!  Knock on wood....

We called to get someone to come out to do a diagnosis and give us an estimate. There was water leaking in our neighbor's downstairs bathroom and we were pretty confident it was coming from our pipes. We specifically said that the plumber was likely going to have to cut a hole in our neighbor's ceiling and Rocket said that would not be a problem. However, the plumber that showed up would not cut a hole in our neighbor's ceiling and told us to hire a carpenter and then call him back. We ended up contacting another plumber, Blanton Plumbing, who came out, cut the hole, diagnosed the problem, gave us an estimate, and repaired the leak.

They came to our house on time. Did work quickly. Explained everything thoroughly. Price was as quoted. Three weeks later everything still works great!

These guys were hands down amazing.

Long story short, I am in the middle of doing a kitchen renovation and am trying to do most the work myself. When we first experienced plumbing issues in our kitchen sink. I sent over some pictures to see what it would cost to fix and what the problem might be. First Chicago Plumbing not only responded quickly, but was able to give me a quote right then. They also did a great job at educating me what was wrong and giving me different approached to solve the problem.

I would DEFINITELY recommend. I know I will be using these guys for any and all plumbing needs moving forward.

Amazing service. I ran into an issue with my new stove. The gas pipe needed to be moved. The owner, Kevin, accommodated might tight work schedule and completed the work the same morning. Another contractor provided an outrageous estimate that was  extremely over complicated and unnecessarily destructive. So glad I contacted Sound Plumbing for a second opinion. It saved me hundreds of dollars and tons of heartache.

Responsive, reliable, great value and professional staff. They responded to my request for service on a Sunday afternoon. I requested they come out Tuesday morning. They arrived early and were very knowledgeable and helpful. Would definitely recommend using them!

I'm very happy with the service performed on February 29, 2020. The plumber was on time and immediately started to work. He was very quick and professional and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommend the service!

Mike and team are extremely responsive, professional and accommodating. They do an excellent job in troubleshooting and explaining to you the actual problem and your potential solutions and options.

I was supposed to write this review yesterday, but I was way too busy enjoying my hot water and full pressure shower thanks to Adam A. at Captain Rooter. Adam was nothing but professional, courteous and friendly. He was able to come the same day that I called and pinpoint the issue, and even let me know that he felt we needed a larger tank based on the usage in the house, which I was grateful for.

My kids thought he was cool, and I basically wanted to marry him after he fixed our hot water tank that had been out for 2 days (but I'm sure that's was just the toxic smells coming off of us making me talk crazy).

The only thing I was disappointed in was the lack of butt crack. I mean... plumbers, amirite?

I had such a wonderful experience working with Darrell. He was very flexible in scheduling our appointment around our schedule. He arrived promptly and wore a mask. He efficiently diagnosed the electrical issues we were facing and explained the issues and the fix very thoroughly and clearly!

He was also able to resolve the issue on the spot! He offered great recommendations for other items we could do around the house to be more energy efficient in the future. We will definitely be calling Darrell again for future work and highly recommend him!

Our toilet was backing up.  To add to that, every time we used water anywhere in the house, it caused that same toilet to back up.  It was a mess!  Hristo came by, removed the toilet, and brought in a machine to snake the pipe.  He then put in a new toilet.  Hristo was very professional, good sense of humor, and got the job done quickly.  It was a messy job and I never heard Hristo complain.  I would highly recommend Hristo's company for any plumbing job.  Thank you again, Hristo!

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.

I would recommend this company to anyone in a heartbeat. These guys were courteous and very professional. I had a cracked toilet and they took a picture to show me. Great job guys. 5 stars and beyond. Myrna Larsen, Worth IL.

Noel is my go-to for any plumbing needs.  He is easy to communicate with,  quickly responds and is always on time.  He is diligent and is good at explaining things to me so I understand.  Highly recommend!

We had an emergency (leak) and they came out same day 2 hours after I called. The techs were courteous and knowledgeable. Price was fair. They finished up in an hour and cleaned up after themselves. Highly recommend!

I yelped this plumber for my parents and they thought he was great. My parents felt he was affordable and honest. When something went wrong relating to the same sink the next day, he came back and repaired it for no charge. I'd call him if I needed a plumber, too.
