Best Plumbing Work in Chicago IL

Let’s start this review by saying that I created this problem because I thought I could play plumber. I broke the pipe upon which my bath spout fits.

I live in a high rise and was very concerned that any leaking would enter neighboring units and put me on the hook for many thousands of dollars. I emailed rescue plumbing based on their reviews and I could not be happier. The owner of the company called me with in 12 hours after I submitted the request late at night. He was willing to attempt giving me a quote over the phone with the obvious warning that things could change if the problem were something else.

His guys Pete and Paco showed up the next day, assessed the problem and got to work after reassuring me that everything was gonna be okay and that he could handle the job. They also patiently and kindly answered all of my million nervous questions. The walled me through the job told me exactly what they would do. As the plan changed a little bit, the updated me along the way.

Throughout all of this my building has a tendency to be very intolerant of contract work and as expected got very angry despite approval from my building engineer. Pete handled them like a champ. He talked on the phone with the engineer and handled our disgruntled security man with nothing but smiles, professionalism and class.

Even though the job was about $200 more than expected they told me this upfront and they were still hundredSSSSS of dollars cheaper than the guy I had assess the job before them. They were able to fix everything without removing tile and entering any other units or turning off water for my neighbors (which The Other Guys said they would need to).

Rescue plumbing all the way. If anything happens in the future I will not hesitate to call them and neither should you!

We’ve had them do multiple services at our house. They are FANTASTIC! Lloga did a new water heater and unclogged a drain for us then later helped us with a toilet issue. Incredibly knowledgeable, efficient and so very kind. Absolute first call if we need anything done! Thank you!

I hired Vanguard Plumbing to help with capping a gas line in my basement where it used to be a kitchen. They responded quickly, and scheduled me in right the way. Work was done very well, and Jan even took the time to check out my water heater and taught me what to do in case of a leak. Believe it or not, they finished the job early and hence offered me a discount, which was double-wonderful. Thank you so much for everything!

Seems like this company is hit or miss. I called them to come out and do as assessment of my condo unit prior to renting it out and they were quick, seemingly thorough and it was free! They didn't find any issues in my unit - great. I called them the following week to assess a leak in the ceiling of the retail space below our building's units. I spoke to the owner on Saturday and discussed having someone come out to look at it Monday morning. As of Monday morning, I hadn't heard from anyone so I called around 10am to see what time frame I was looking at. Obviously no one was planned to come out, so they sent someone and they arrived within the hour. As they arrived, I was told by the crew that it would cost $285 for them to set up a ladder and remove 1 ceiling tile to be able to see where the leak is coming from. After that, I basically had to stalk the owner to send us an estimate for any work that would have to be done. We had him look at another item (booster pump) that needed to be removed and capped too, since I had already paid $285 to have someone there. They said the work was too commercial because it was copper pipes and said they would not do the job. Keep in mind their truck, sweatshirts, and website says residential AND commercial - AND FREE ESTIMATES. After hounding them down for a full day, the owner told me they do not want to take on the commercial part of the work. Then, I asked if there was a chance they would cut the drywall to find the source of the leak that they may decide the work is too commercial and refuse to do it. At that point, he suggested I find another plumber who does commercial and residential work to have the work done. So much for my $285 that I have nothing to show for...and no refund offered, obviously.

Long story short: if you have MINOR residential repairs or issues, they might be okay. But if you live in Chicago and it's anything related to a building issue, STEER CLEAR!

Garbage disposal died and First Chicago Plumbing came out and took care of it quickly. The best part was that the plumber took the time to educate me on how my kitchen plumbing works. I learned a lot and feel like I now have an understanding of how it all works.

This is the best plumber ever. He explains everything and offers great advice without pressuring the customer. I am pleased with the service delivery and I would not hesitate to use him again.

Very satisfied with their work

I got a quick response to my call about a sewer smell in the bathroom. Edwin came when he said he would, quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it within an hour. Great service, great work.

I will definitely use them again when I need a plumber. The plumber showed up when promised and did a great job.

I needed my bathtub unclogged and my daughter found Father & Son plumbing on Google. I will definitely be using Father & Son from now on. When my daughter called that day, the plumber came out in about 2 hrs, was on time and fixed the problem. I wish I could remember his name but my daughter said he was very professional, knowledgeable and got the job done. I also needed my toilet screws replaced and luckily he had the parts and fixed that also. I was extremely happy with the price and service! very affordable ?. 100% recommended this company

Very professional and polite. Did the job with ease like he really knew what he was doing! The price for the job was very reasonable as well. I would highly recommend him to family and friends.

It was an amazing experience real professional a clean job from the beginning to the end great information they do know what they're talking about when it come to plumbing and sewer I do recommend them ask for Juan

Called Rescue first thing in the a.m. Had a team, Pete and Noah on site by Noon. Thorough examination, honest assessment. Adjustments were made, leak was fixed. Fast, accurate and knowledgeable. Definitely will use again.

They were great!

I am including the prices so readers can make their own conclusions: The customer service (phone service and communication) was excellent. The ladies handling the appointments and scheduling were extremely friendly and professional. I will say that J. Blanton was the only company that had someone from their own office answer the phone after hours. The plumbing service was to replace (2) screws holding the toilet tank as they were corroded and causing leak. The service took about 20 min. The cost was $159 for the estimate because location was in the city and $450 for the service. Total was $600. However the plumber noted my concern about the price and waived some of the cost. The option to replace the toilet would be over $1000 because it was a back flush toilet. I am not familiar with market pricing so I cant comment if pricing is fair. Hope this helps

Kavana's Plumbing and Heating is an excellent service in an emergency. They were able to fix
a busted pipe in our home in a timely and efficient manner and also provide preventative suggestions. My family appreciated their help. I would definitely recommend his service to others.

The Best!!!! By far the best service provider we have used. Always professional, on time and value priced. They are able to deliver service to us and to our clients that helps us to be a better service provider. We are truly grateful.

Pete and Noah did an awesome job repairing our bathtub, which had no hot water. Thanks guys!

My bathtub faucet was dripping and needed a cartridge replaced. Logan came out, assessed the problem, gave me a reasonable estimate, and then completed the job.

The final job came in at estimate and the repair completely fixed the problem. I'm very happy with the service provided as well as the communication. I intend to use Rescue Plumbing for any future plumbing projects.

Dependable, honest, and excellent workmanship. Can't go wrong with this company.
