Best Code Corrections in Chicago IL
If you don't care about value or integrity, go ahead and call these guys.
They charge $89.95 just to come out, and check multiple times that you understand that you have to pay them at the time they come to your house. I asked if the charge was applicable against repair costs, and they said yes. I agreed, and asked what the hourly rate was...they said they didn't have one, and would quote a price fr the repair in total once they looked at it. I should have seen this as a red flag, but agreed anyway.
I asked them to come out to connect my dishwasher discharge hose to an EXISTING p-trap, and plug the connection on the disposal where the appliance store incorrectly connected the hose. Since the p-trap was disconnected (and left open), it had dried up and sewer gas was coming back under the sink. The repairman recommended a smoke check of the plumbing vents for $1100 to locate where the smell was coming from. I told him this wasn't necessary, and all that we needed was to have the lines reconnected under the sink (30-60 minutes of work, max). He then said, yeah, that's probably right and quoted me $395 PLUS the $89.95 dispatch fee. When I questioned the amount and asked for an hourly rate, he just said we are union and asked me what I thought it should cost.
I support union labor, and am fine paying fair rates, but I am unwilling to pay $485 for what amounts to an hour's work. I left work early, picked up the parts and fixed it myself in under an hour. I would not trust these guys with anyone I cared about, especially if they are susceptible to buying into the need for useless up-sells like smoke checks...$1100, sheesh.

Please do not use this company, we've paid over $500 for nothing! They were supposed to clean out our sewer but just stuck a camera down the pipe and never finished the job. They are not answering their phone and charged us for a repair they never fixed and said If we're not able to fix it, we're not going to charge you. Please beware of this company!!!

I had water service installation done by MNN Plumbing & Sewer. I was very happy with the work they did. The team was professional and polite, and they completed the work quickly and efficiently.
