Best Pipe Issues 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.

They assessed issues, explained them and then fixed them, and even cleaned up and took large debris that garbage truck might refuse.
I hope not to have future plumbing problems but if I do, I will call First Chicago Plumbing.

Recommend Go-Rooter for everyone to use. I had a leaking toilet issue in the rental place and I called Go-Rooter. Alex, the plumber, gave a quick call back and provided me his availability for the same day. The communication was efficient and easy. During the work, he provided me the timely update on the work via phone when I couldn't be there. He also sent the photos of the clean up and the root cause of the problem as I requested. The entire process was smooth and clear. The charge is also flat rate based on the work.

I can’t say enough about how amazing Henry from Savior plumbing is. We had three pipes burst during this weeks freezing temperatures (week of Christmas 2022). Within 30 minutes of calling, Henry arrived, diagnosed the problem, went to get supplies, and within about an hour, had us back up and running. A day after Christmas, what could have been a complete disaster was saved (pun intended) by Henry. I now have his card on my refrigerator and his number saved. Professionalism and skill aside, Henry is so kind and friendly (good with dogs too!) There’s no one else I’ll call.

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.

CJ Plumbing did an outstanding job diagnosing and repairing a clogged roof drain on our school building. Our building is very old which meant the drain pipes were difficult to reach and work on. But these guys took care of the problem and were done within a day. CJ plumbing does excellent work and gets the job done quickly.

Horrible service! We paid almost 5K to fix a sewer problem and we are still having issues. Do yourself a favor and find someone else. Don’t waste your time.
