Best Clogged Kitchen Sink in Chicago IL

Passable work at exorbitant prices. I can not recommend enough that you stay away from Baethke plumbing - almost $1000 for hooking in a dishwasher and replacing a drain basket, less than 2 hours of work. I instantly regretted accepting their insane quote, which I would not have done without their deliriously high call-out fee. Stay away unless you enjoy paying 2 to 3 times what you should!

We had two repairmen. Theu were both cordial. The first struggled with the issue, but they promptly brought someone who could fix it the next day. I was a big fan of that plumber. Michael was very knowledgeable, professional, and effective.

What was supposed to be a routine swap-out of a toilet turned out to be a much bigger job, because of damage to the collar and sub-floor. George and Dave did a great job of making an unplanned repair, and Jan arranged a very fair price for the additional work.

Office manager is really easy to work with - she was so helpful with figuring out what work I needed done via phone and helping to schedule and coordinate it. Technicians showed up right on time and did a great job with the work needed.

I called on a Friday afternoon. Chas was at my house shortly after and fixed my problem. Excellent customer service and follow up from the office as well. I’ve found our new go-to plumber!

Andrew and Joey were very professional and courteous. They explained what was needed and answered any questions we had. I will be using J Blanton for all of our plumbing needs. I highly recommend.

Mr. Burris just recently spent a weekend opening up a clogged sink. This is only one of many big jobs he has done at my house which include plumbing, heating and a constantly flooding basement. His dedication and ingenuity has always been appreciated! I recommend him to anyone. His prices are beyond reasonable and he has always been willing to work evening and weekends without an extra fee. I’ve NEVER been disappointed with Mr. Burris!

We had our catch basin cleaned. They were responsive and did a tremendous job. Highly recommend. Jeremy, in particular, was great to work with.

I thought working with Apex was the best option after reading all the positive reviews, but that was a costly mistake. I called them for two things, to fix a leaky gas shut off valve to our furnace and to install a flue pipe from our water heater out to our chimney

The technician said he couldn't fix the shut off valve and had to use a new one, which was fine. It was a small part and the cost was more than I had expected but I went along with it. The flue pipe is the project that infuriates me more. He said he could do the project and gave me a quote of almost $800. (I'm just going to round up) I thought that would include a liner that would go up our chimney in order to properly ventilate out. He went out to buy more material, came back, and got to work. I gave him his space to work and didn't supervise.

Once he left and I inspected the work, I had instant regret. I had paid for something that looked like a handyman job and did not look professional at all but at least we were safe from inhaling any exhaust.

Today, I had another professional company come out to install a new water heater. They informed me that there is no properly installed liner and that all the exhaust is traveling up and has nowhere to go but to come back down. We have to properly have the chimney lined and then they can install the new tank. So now, I will have to undo the work that the APEX technician did and have it done right. I'm especially infuriated because this is a safety issue. We've been inhaling exhaust for the past three months without even knowing it! I would seriously consider using another company when it comes to issues with furnace and water heaters.

In response to Apex support’s comment:
“Apex took you out of your dangerous situation and can not be responsible for the condition of your water heater or chimney.”

Connecting a flue pipe to an unlined chimney is not fixing a problem and does not take us out of a dangerous situation. Also, I did not blame Apex for the condition of my water heater or our chimney, my comment is about the work itself and service.

Had the technician recommended for me to have our chimney lined first, I would have done that considering it was October and the weather was more suitable for that type of work. Instead your technician had no qualms about moving forward, charged us an inexcusable amount of close to $800 to add a flue pipe to an unlined chimney, which does nothing to fix our problem. (photo attached)

He also said our water heater was a 20 gallon heater and gave me the impression that it was in worse condition than it is. He also said he could install a new water heater (apparently he thought it was OK to install a new heater without a liner) but I had my misgivings about having any additional work done.

Our water heater is actually a 40 gallon, and the new technician Im working with assured me that while our heater is old, it’s a good brand and will fortunately last until we do the proper repairs to our chimney. His words were more or less, if you’re going to do the job, let’s make sure we’re doing it right.

In addition, I would have much rather preferred a phone call or direct message to discuss the matter instead of posting this response publicly, but your customer support decided to follow up on this post instead. Considering that I sent a message directly to your website with my contact info, I find the handling of this unprofessional and will not be recommending your company.

Dominick came to our house this afternoon to clean a drain in a clogged sink. We tried calling several other plumbers and no one else got back to us. Dominick answered the phone right away and was able to schedule a house call the same day. He was easy to communicate with via text message and email and called when he said he would to let us know he was coming.

The work itself was taken care of professionally and the sink is now working perfectly. Dominick also inspected our sump and ejector pumps while he was here (for no extra charge!) and found that the battery on our sump pump was out of water and indicated that it may need to be replaced. He filled the battery up with water and gave me instructions on how to check to make sure it works. He also gave me instructions on how to replace the battery on my own if it did not work. In my experience it is not common for a contractor to help a homeowner find ways to avoid having to pay for extra services and truly speaks to Dominick's honesty.

I will certainly use Sinks-N-Sumps again.

PSP Plumbing and Sewer is a professional service that I chose for my mom. They are reliable and efficient while they share everything about their sevices from inception to completion in real time. Most importantly, they are affordable compared to their competitors.

Sam is one of the best plumbers in the city!! He does great work and is very professional. You will be very happy with the quality of work and the reasonable and very fair price of his service and experience. Highly recommend.

Victor was very patient and knowledgeable. He took time to listen to my plumbing issues and was able to come out the next day to help. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone!

Absolutely the best. Honest, reliable and affordable. Price came out even lower than what was estimated which was great. Thank you..

Gabe was very helpful and fast. Very polite and professional

Excellent service and honest dealing, going well beyond expectations.

We stumbled on to 4S Plumbing unwittingly through a referral from another plumber that wasn't able to help us. It was a happy accident though. Our plumber Tim was not only professional but an all-around nice guy who was happy to answer questions and look at other plumbing and leak issues around the house.

Tim had come to replace a kitchen faucet, but by the end of the visit our jammed garbage disposal was working and our previously useless upstairs bath had water pressure. Except for the faucet, these were all relatively simple fixes that a less scrupulous plumber could have easily have used to run up the bill. At the end of the day, half of our household maintenance list was checked off, and our bill was less than $400.

As for the backend, Bill responded immediately to our call, scheduling Tim's visit within a few hours. Billing was prompt, and all labor and parts charges were clearly delineated in an email receipt, which we were able to pay online.

In short, 4S is prompt, professional, modern and above all incredibly honest.

Tim, thanks to you, my spouse will be able to take her first hot bath since we moved in.

Very professional, knew exactly what they were doing. Cleaned up afterwards and left area almost like they were never here.
