Best Hot Water Heater Tank Repair in Chicago IL

The project undertaken was to replace a 20 year old water heater with new and correct issues causing poor water pressure in a 60+ year old Chicago residence.

Jan and Chris arrived on time and hit the ground running and never slowed down. The water tank was replaced and brought on line in less time than was estimated. If you admire good craftsmanship you'll love Vanguard, the pipe fitting and copper sweating are truly superior . It made me question what I received from prior service providers.

As for the poor water pressure issue, I had convinced myself that the only remedy would be to have a booster pump installed. Our home has had remodeling of the plumbing on all three levels. So all the piping has been modernized and replaced with copper except for the holt/cold risers between the basement and the two bathrooms. After Jan had a look at the bathroom fixtures and the transitions between the new copper and the old galvanized riser pipes he had a different idea as to what would fix the pressure issue. He suggested replacing the valve system in the new shower that had mixing valve. And, replace the non-brass die-electric unions (connecting the old piping to the new), with brass fittings before spending the roughly $4000.00 to install a booster pump. As it turned out, at each point in this process Jan was right, there was significant blockage in the fixtures and DE unions. Long story short, I'm very happy with the water pressure at all of my fixtures and it cost a lot less in labor and parts than the booster pump! These guys know plumbing and that is evident in their honesty, workmanship and troubleshooting.

The crew that got dispatched was so organized and arrived right on time. From how we spoke, they were very polite and professional. Their work was also amazing and I recommend their services.

Goode Plumbing has provided consistently excellent service and follow-up throughout the over 9 years we have lived in our new construction SFH. Diagnosing, repairing and replacing as necessary, and giving detailed instructions on how to prevent future issues/do our own maintenance where possible. Most recently, Mike T. was at our home to inspect our water heater on a Friday afternoon (which was not operating, and failed all of the tests we were comfortable running on our own). He showed us immediately upon arrival where the issues were -- including leaking in several spots, corrosion, and a broken burner. We were delighted when he offered to come the next day at no additional charge to replace it. His service Saturday was also impeccable. All in all, Mike saved us a ton of money by advising us to purchase a smaller replacement water heater (the one previously in place was far too large for our family, and would be costly to replace with one of same size), and also helped address a shortcut (one of many, unfortunately) that the builders made when constructing our home. In doing so, Mike ensured we would not have certain frustrating problems with our water going forward -- not to mention damage to our other water-dependent appliances, and a shortened life to our new water heater. Thank you Goode and thank you Mike! My family truly appreciates your commitment to your customers!

Friendly and professional services - Henry came same day and did a great job. Would be happy to hire again and highly recommend.

Very knowledgeable and helpful. Always followed up with me and assisted on days business was closed. Very friendly and highly recommended!

Great customer service. The man who came to work on our house was patient, knowledgable, and efficient. I highly recommend this company!

Great service, they arrived on time and toilet installation went well, they were in and out and got the job done! Highly recommend. Will use them for any future plumbing needs.

John came on time, prepared and made my sink repair in no time at all. Love the rates, his suggestion for future issues and great customer service. I absolutely recommend this man!!

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.

We had a great experience w CJ plumbing. They were prompt, responsive, and effective in fixing our shower faucet. I highly recommend them!

There was a leak in my downstairs neighbor's bathroom ceiling. I called yesterday afternoon, and first thing this morning, I had a plumber. He was able to quickly identify the issue and fix it. Although fixing the toilet addressed the issue, he did check to make sure the sink and shower were not creating an issue. I hope I don't need a plumber again, but I will call REI Plumbing if I do.

Jeff and his team are awesome. Everyone is professional, polite, easily available and thorough. I had two services completed recently. Both turned out great. A good value. Expert service and advice saved me money and time. I will definitely only use The Plumbing Department for my projects! Neil and Gary were exceptional.

The plumber was an expert in his field. The plumbing leak repair was completed efficiently and quickly. I am pleased with the outcomes, and he was knowledgeable and responsive during the procedure. Thanks!

Prompt response time and quick unclogging of my kitchen sink. Will use in the future.

They are responsive and reasonably priced. Always professional service and reliable

Bill and his team were great to work with for one of our unit's bathroom's plumbing mishap last week. Extremely reasonable pricing compared to other options in the area. Definitely will be using them moving forward for my other properties.
