Mikes Plumbing Chicago

Mike and his team are great!
He replaced my 3-unit building entire water supply and drainage system.
Mike and his team are profesional, respectful, clean, and understanding to one’s situation.
Mike was quick and happy to respond to any questions and concerns I had along the way. His prices are fair and reasonable compared to others.
You can tell Mike has many years of knowledge and a master in his craft.
A bonus is he is also well connected to other trade professionals if your tackling other projects like me.
Will definitely be a repeating customer!

Mike and his team were absolutely top notch. Their professionalism, honesty, attention to detail and service surpassed my expectations. They replaced old pipes in the bathroom sink as well as the kitchen sink. His knowledge and experience is vast and the job was done properly. I would trust Mike and his team to work on any plumbing issues. Do not look any further. Call and have the peace of mind the job will be done correctly.

I don't like leaving bad reviews, but I have to this time since Mike's never even bothered responding to the following:

I called Mike's Plumbing to unclog a drain pipe. The plumber showed up and determined there was not a clog in the pipe without even checking the actual pipe.

He stated the issue was the AC unit was pooling water due to a bad coil. I asked him if he could send a camera down the pipe just to be sure, but the plumber insisted it was the AC unit. This ended up costing $165 for the visit and diagnosis.

So on the plumber's advice, we called an AC tech, who came out and checked the unit. It was not pooling water and there wasn't anything wrong with it. Unlike Mike's Plumbing, he at least cut the pipe to check it, and water immediately began pouring out. The AC guy was not able to unclog the pipe and said we'd need a plumber. Charge for his visit was $89.

We got a plumber from a different company (2 Plumbers) to come out since Mike's didn't do anything the first time but charge us nearly $200 for a misdiagnosis. 2 Plumbers determined the drain pipe was clogged. They used a riding machine to rod the pipe and open the line. Then they refit the pipe.

I emailed Mike's to ask for a full or partial refund of the $165 for the initial visit since they misdiagnosed the issue. Again, by not checking the pipe at all and suggesting we needed an AC person, we were not only out $165, but then an additional $89 for an AC/heat tech who wasn't needed, then the second plumber visit.

2 Plumbers arrived and fixed the issue in half an hour. I understand people make mistakes, but this negative review is due to the lack ANY kind of response from Mike's when I emailed them with my complaint.

I had an emergency water backup in kitchen sink. I was put in touch with Mike. He was extremely responsive and arrived the next morning. While discussing the problem, the water started to overflow into floor, which he heard was happening before we even saw it.
He acted so quickly to avoid a catastrophe!
He thoroughly assessed the problem in the building and effectively drained and cleaned out the system .
Not only would I use him again but I'd recommend him to my friends and family!

Thank you Mike for being there within 30 min of my parents house emergency! There was water coming out of the drain on floor in boiler room and from upstairs in the dishwasher. Long story short, dirty water was accumulating and Mike and his partner came and fixed things up with a fair price. God bless and thanks again.

Very responsive. Called at 4 am after my water heater valve burst off and water was shooting out everywhere. They helped solve the immediate emergency and even did a video call to help. Great service, people who really care. Highly recommend

Mike and his crew were extremely professional, responsible, on time and did an OUTSTANDING job for me. His company is licensed and he knows what the proper codes and permits require to pass village inspections. My job was extremely complicated and Mike and his team worked with the Village to ensure it was done right. I would trust him to do any job from small to commercial and want you to know that he is completely trustworthy and honest. His prices are fair as well.

We've used Mike for several different issues, both for our unit and for our condo building, and Mike has always been quick, professional, and reasonable priced. Most recently, we had a gas leak in our unit so we had to have all of our lines repaired. We got three quotes from plumbers: Mike's quote was the cheapest and he was the only who could fix the problem right away, which he did. Win-win-win.

Mike is awesome. My kitchen drain failed and within 40 min of calling him he came out to my house to see the issue. This was at like 7pm at night as well. The whole drain pipe needed to be replaced all the way down to my basement. Mike came out at 8am the next morning with another guy and both of them worked hard for a good 4-5 hours and installed a brand new drain. It was a big job. Mike is priced very fair in my opinion as well. The quality of the work is top notch. I highly recommend Mike's Plumbing.

Mike is my go-to-plumber! I have used his services quite a few times.
He has extensive knowledge about any plumbing works. During the last service, he also took the time to look at a separate plumbing issue I was having and made some recommendations for that. I would definitely recommend him .

While fixing a sink ourselves, our main water valve got stuck in the off position on a Saturday. (The knob would turn but it wouldn't open the valve and release water into our house.) Mike first tried to troubleshoot for us over the phone for free, and even offered to video chat to walk us through the fix ourselves. We were nervous we'd break the valve ourselves and end up with a mess, so we braced ourselves to wait until Monday (with no water) for his team to come out. A couple hours later he called me back and said he could fix it for me today, on a Saturday evening. He came in, found that the repair was even easier than he anticipated, and only asked for a fraction of what he quoted us. He came through for us in an emergency on a Saturday, did honest work, and requested an honest price. We're so lucky we found him and are saving his number for future needs. Thank you, Mike!!!

He was not available, but he recommended someone. Of all the plumbers we contacted for our Christmas emergency, he was the most helpful

We needed an emergency visit—noticed sewer water backing up into the basement today. I tried a few other companies—including both my usual plumber and our flood control system company—but no one else was available immediately.

I called Mike after seeing the other positive online reviews and I’m so glad I did! He was here within 15 minutes(!) and took care of the issue quickly and for as fair a price as the job could be done.

I have already saved his number and information and he will be my go-to guy for future plumbing issues.

Unfortunately, this businessman is very selective with his work and very expensive. After the first time he came out to my home which was for an emergency pipe repair in the middle of the night, I called him again to come to my home and give me an estimate and explanation for water collecting around the bottom of my toilet. One he was done inspecting and had told us how much he was going to charge, I told him that my husband and I would have to discuss the issue as his estimate was a lot of money and we were not prepared to make that kind of financial commitment at the time. A couple weeks later, my husband and I found ourselves in another emergency situation as our main sewer line had collapsed and was causing sewage water to back up into our bathtub. He answered the phone and responded that he could not help us at that time and was busy working on another project. I found another company, figured out a way to cover my expenses and did not press the issue. We again had other projects that we needed done after that so I reached out to Mike via text several times. He never had the decency to respond. This to me is extremely poor customer service and a man that is too greedy to take care of his customers. Shame. We had over $8000 worth of plumbing work done. Be cautious with this plumber as he does not take care of his customers.

I don't understand how anyone can give Mike's Plumbing a negative review; I just had Mike's Plumbing do a big drainage job at my house and it was a great experience. Mike provided a long lasting solution, not just a quick fix; Mike was very nice and respectful throughout the process, explaining his thinking in a very thorough and logical manner, and his price was very fair; Mike and his team also have a very strong work ethic; Mike is smart, affordable, quality, and hard working; I highly recommend Mike's Plumbing for all your plumbing and drainage needs; you will not be disappointed; trust Mike and trust his process; he is a professional plumber, you and I are not.

Mike fixed our flood control and was very honest about the work involved and his pricing was very fair. He takes pride in his work and goes to great lengths to make sure that we understood what he was doing. He is a great neighborhood plumber who is highly experienced and knowledgeable. Highly recommended for all plumbing needs.

Mikes Plumbing Company is wonderful! Professional, honest , prompt, reliable, with great prices. Woke up last Saturday morning to find water all over the hard wood floor of my condo. It was pouring out from under my kitchen sink. Called the condo management and asked if they could give me a plumber they used. Called the plumbing company telling them it was an emergency, and they never even called me back. I then got Mikes Plumbing Company from someone else. When I called, Mike personally answered the phone and when I told him it was an emergency he came over immediately. I was amazed by how fast he got there! He assessed the situation and completely turned the water off. He then went out and bought a new faucet so he could fix the leak. I was so impressed by how kind he was. I was a basket case and he reassured me that everything would be fine. His kindness, caring and professionalism were outstanding! He did a great job and even cleaned everything up! Mikes's Plumbing company is amazing! I can't say enough good things about this company. I will always use them in the future.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mike or call him for another issue. I called Mike about our bathtub (we live in an older condo building), which suddenly wouldn’t drain and had standing water. I couldn’t find another plumber to come out within the day, but Mike didn’t hesitate - he actually got to us within an hour or two. He fixed a tough clog, and talked me through why it happened and what we could expect in the future. A month later, the tub is still draining perfectly.

Mike is an honest, caring, and incredibly professional plumber. He took his time to explain everything he was doing. We bought a new home and instantly had some major sewage draining issues undisclosed to us. He came out immediately and diagnosed the issue. His work is flawless and he’s priced fair and honest. Use Mike if you want quick and professional serice from a fair an honest plumber.

I called Mike for a bathroom emergency. He stopped by as soon as he had time and fixed my problem. He did a great job. 2 weeks later I had a problem with my faucet in my kitchen and he came the next evening and did a fantastic job. I am thankful I found Mike because it's hard to find plumbers who do smaller emergency jobs at condos.

Great Service
I called Mike after hearing about him from a neighbor. I had a different neighbor let me know about a leak into her unit. I set up a time for him to come by and take a look. He showed up on time, wore gloves while he worked and was able to confirm the “O” ring needed to be replaced. He was done in under an hour! He then checked to make sure it filled and flushed properly. I highly recommend.

My tenants in Chicago woke up one morning with no hot water, a few months ago, and Mike came to examine the problem within a couple of hours. He was professional, courteous, explanatory and rectified the situation.
A week ago, free of charge, he came to my place in the suburbs and adjusted my backup sump pump. Because of his complimentary service and advice I've been reading, online, about the importance of a primary and secondary sump pump. I will always patronize this business for my plumbing needs & highly recommend that others follow suit.

Hire Mike when you need a plumber. Great trades people are often hard to find and Mike is great. While I am not a plumber, I know enough about the trades to know quality work. I first used his service when I needed to add a sewer line. I got 3 bids and his was the lowest, and his work was excellent. I live in an 80 year old house in a wooded area. So occasionally the sewer's back up and Mike always gets the repair done quickly and at a very fair price (which just happened).

Mike's was great. They got in and out efficiently, and helped troubleshoot an issue that a different plumbing company was unable to fix. Mike's plumbers wore PPE and were extremely careful when working inside our place. Our sinks have never run so smoothly and we'll be using Mike's for all our plumbing needs moving forward.

I called Roto-rooter company and one other company to replace all the cooper pipe in my two flat building and their prices were too high.
I called Mike's plumbing they came the same day and they explained everything and I was feeling very confident with them, they started the work right away and finished on the time promised. I am very happy with his rate and services. I highly recommend him.

When our bath pipeline exploded, Mike was able to reach our apartment in less than 20 minutes. It was amazing. Super fast and reliable service. This service is worth every penny.

Had a serious toilet leak on a Sunday night & I did what anyone would do. I googled “24 hour plumber Chicago”. Funny thing is, 8 places I called would not be able to help until Monday. So much for 24 hours... I called Mike & Mike delivered. Issue fixed same day. Great price. Great person.

I had a simple need (replace a shower faucet cartridge that was ancient , stuck really tight, and now stripped) but needed assistance pretty quickly. I tried calling a fair number of places, and they did the job faster and far more affordable than others. Plus, they were friendly and sociable. Will definitely look them up first in the future.

Mike came out the same day I called, very professional, good price, and let me know my options right away. This was a great experience, and not always the case when hiring someone you've never met before. Time was used effectively, price was great, and I would use them again without hesitation. Thank you Mike.

I called Mike about my kitchen sink being clogged. He arrived expeditiously and power rodded the drain and cleaned out the sink itself. I had thought that my garbage disposal may need to be replaced, but he inspected it and told me it was fine. He didn't try to sell me a garbage disposal that I didn't need. I appreciate that very much.

Mikes Plumbing saved me from my plumbing nightmare!!! My house was scheduled for an inspection in less than 24 hours and we had a terribly clogged bathtub drain and a tub full of gunky water! After two hours of plunging, drain snaking, and more- Mike arrived and solved the problem within 10 minutes (this all took place at 10pm!!). I cannot express my gratitude enough! THANK YOU MIKES PLUMBING!!

Called him last week for emergency flooding in our basement. The main sewer pipe has been clogged and our drainage was not working which caused the flooding in the basement. The problem is that there is our central heating that was almost under water and we needed to fix this as soon as possible. Called him on Sunday and he kept promising that he will come the same day and he never showed up. Absolutely unprofessional! I had to find a way to fix the problem by myself.

A person who took us for a $930 ride and never completed the job, nor did he guarantee his work. We should have shopped around, because he took advantage of our not knowing going rates. SEE PIC of INVOICE: Charged separately for rod and camera. The plumber who finished the job charged only $200. An unsuccessful rod and camera cost us that much. Upon picking up his equipment, he entered our house without our permission, and made a scene in front of our house when we cancelled what would have been another $450 rodding on top of the INVOICE below. Consider yourself warned.

Relatively new home owner here (we moved in August last year). Hadn't had any real plumbing issues yet in the house until about a week or 2 ago. Suddenly when we washed laundry the basement slop sink would back up a little and super slowly go down. Tried to plunge and rod it but didn't work permanently. Later, the dishwasher started causing the backup as well. Then, the shower, then, even flushing the toilet backed it up. Now the water was actually s*!t water brown at this point even saw toilet paper floating in it. Figured it it must for sure be the main line needed rodding after chatting with some folks and googling. So earlier today we call Roto-Rooter, about 4 hours later guy comes out, takes a look at the access we have outside to the main, then says he can't rod it, gotta wait until tomorrow. Now it's way later and we can't use any more water (brown water backup in basement sink if we do) can't shower etc... aaaaand back at square one. We called 3 more places to try and ask, get quotes, etc. One place guy wanted to charge $800. Another can't come out until tomorrow. Finally after almost giving up for the night we call Mike's. Super high reviews on Google! (4.8) BUUUUUUUT only 4 reviews we say.... Well we decided to give him a call, worth a shot we figured. Call after 10 PM on Sunday night. (Today as of this writing, 4/23/2017). He was out here by 1105PM. Opened up the access quick, ran in and ran all the water with me, noticed now the upstairs bathroom toilet and shower we're backing up instead of basement slop sink. (Reason was now slop sink was clogged secondarily cause of the backup of the s*!t water) he helped unclog that secondary one (AND a bit of the upstairs shower too) at no extra charge. About 20 minutes later if even, heard the huge slurp and saw the toilet backup shoot down the drain. Everything fixed like 20-30 minutes after arrival. Big ol rodder machine did the trick. Also explained a lot of the plumbing around the house. Went both ways with the rodder too from the access just in case. Ended up pulling out a lot of roots and stuff (I guess usually it's roots, supposed to get the main line rodded as a preventative maintenance item every 6mo to 2 years it sounds like) Total price was better than roto rooter as well. Friendly, professional. Plus, mentioned during the daytime and when not in a hurry like today as a preventative maintenance item it'd be even cheaper too. Will definitely be calling again if/when another bigger problem calls for a pro. Very happy we went with a good local place even tho he only had the 4 reviews, and I'm happy to be writing the 5th. If you need a pro, call Mike. And then leave some more good reviews!

Called 4 plumbers that were too busy to deal with my problem before I called Mike. Mike was at my home in 25 minutes and completed the work within 2 hours. He was professional and explained the process each step at a time.

I called for a tub that was backed up and water started coming up out of another drain. They arrived later that morning, and quickly and professionally cleared the clog. Reasonable prices and quick response. Wore PPE and were very professional.

Mike came to my condo at 10:00 p.m. and fixed my toilet. Very happy with his service and would recommend him to anyone in need.

He charged me $600 for an emergency service to pump water from a basement. was there for 15min then left to get a better pump, but never came back. Simply stole money for a service he did not rendered.

Amazing service & very professional. Have used Mike's plumbing on various occasion. Mike has always been very prompt & always gives you the best quality work possible.

Mike has done a couple of jobs for me, and I must say he’s the only Plumber i know who carries his own dust sheet with him! I would recommend Mikes Chicago Plumbing to any one.

Mike came out to help us with an emergency at 1am. He was very understanding of our situation.

Mike did a great job unclogging my kitchen sink. He was fast, friendly, and super knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

He made time for our pipe bursting emergency on a busy day. Very thorough and helped us understand the problem and how to avoid it again in the future. Highly recommend.

Mike did a fantastic job!! Very knowledgeable and a warm and caring human being who really cares about his work and his clients. Highly recommended!!

Mike and his team cleared the sewer line for our multi-unit building in west Rogers park. They were super professional and easy to work with.

Very pleasant experience and reasonable rates. He came quickly and knew exactly how to fix my problem. I will definitely hire him again.

Mike came out to help us with an emergency drain backup in our house at night and then brought his team out the next morning to rod our sewer lines. THANK YOU!!!

I called for help when I had big problems with shower and another company referred to come in last moment. Mike's company didn't do anything too even came !!

Great job - fixed a leak quickly at a reasonable price. Cleaned up and left the bathroom better than he found it.

Amazing! Great guy and excellent service. Estimate was spot on and he showed me all the items that needed to be fixed. I would use this service again. Thank you Mike!!!!!!!

Very nice guy and excellent work done with nominal rate. Will highly recommend him especially in case of emergency situations.

Great service! He was quick, efficient and priced fairly.

Came last minute for a non emergency, worked quickly, charged a fair price

He overcharged me by a lot.
