Best Replace Hot Water Tank in Chicago IL

Needed a plumber familiar with (and undaunted by) the quirky plumbing surprises an 80+ year old building can present so once again, and of course, I turned to Vanguard Plumbing for their expertise. The owner, Jan, is very knowledgeable and accommodating, quickly getting me on the schedule, and his tech, George, knows his stuff and did excellent work, as usual (he’s repaired/replaced a few things in ‘this old condo’, over the years). With his assistant, Chris, they worked a small miracle replacing a slow, old tub drain, replacing faulty shut off valves (including two, original red-knobbed room shut offs) and recapping an above-floor capped radiator pipe so it’s now below the floor so my new marble flooring will be obstruction-free! I also really like how accommodating they all are with all of my questions. I don’t want to get in their way, but I do appreciate being able to learn a few things about our plumbing system (that’s even more ‘vintage’ than me!).

I wonder how fast this plumber is while responding to any new concern. The dispatcher is always ready and will connect you to the best plumber in no time. The quality of their work is also great. Check them out.

Plumbers did a great job in clearing a blockage in the toilet using a line.

Excellent service. He came in on short notice after I called about having issues with my main sewer line which was backed up. He was able to fix it in a couple of hours and gave me a walk through of what he was doing. He explained how the plumbing in my house work and was very professional. He was very knowledgeable for sure. He was very nice and it was a pleasure having him fix the issues I was having. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a plumber.

Great plumber at a great price, would definitely recommend!!

Great job cleaning out catch basin!

John installed a brand new water heater for me as my old one was starting to show it's age with all the rust and water leakage at the bottom. John explained to me how the discoloration was rust at the bottom of the tank. Sediment was building up, causing the metal to rust from the inside. His price to install a new water heater was fair and the installation and work was clean! Thank you John! I'll definitely be using this business again!

Relatively new home owner here (we moved in August last year). Hadn't had any real plumbing issues yet in the house until about a week or 2 ago. Suddenly when we washed laundry the basement slop sink would back up a little and super slowly go down. Tried to plunge and rod it but didn't work permanently. Later, the dishwasher started causing the backup as well. Then, the shower, then, even flushing the toilet backed it up. Now the water was actually s*!t water brown at this point even saw toilet paper floating in it. Figured it it must for sure be the main line needed rodding after chatting with some folks and googling. So earlier today we call Roto-Rooter, about 4 hours later guy comes out, takes a look at the access we have outside to the main, then says he can't rod it, gotta wait until tomorrow. Now it's way later and we can't use any more water (brown water backup in basement sink if we do) can't shower etc... aaaaand back at square one. We called 3 more places to try and ask, get quotes, etc. One place guy wanted to charge $800. Another can't come out until tomorrow. Finally after almost giving up for the night we call Mike's. Super high reviews on Google! (4.8) BUUUUUUUT only 4 reviews we say.... Well we decided to give him a call, worth a shot we figured. Call after 10 PM on Sunday night. (Today as of this writing, 4/23/2017). He was out here by 1105PM. Opened up the access quick, ran in and ran all the water with me, noticed now the upstairs bathroom toilet and shower we're backing up instead of basement slop sink. (Reason was now slop sink was clogged secondarily cause of the backup of the s*!t water) he helped unclog that secondary one (AND a bit of the upstairs shower too) at no extra charge. About 20 minutes later if even, heard the huge slurp and saw the toilet backup shoot down the drain. Everything fixed like 20-30 minutes after arrival. Big ol rodder machine did the trick. Also explained a lot of the plumbing around the house. Went both ways with the rodder too from the access just in case. Ended up pulling out a lot of roots and stuff (I guess usually it's roots, supposed to get the main line rodded as a preventative maintenance item every 6mo to 2 years it sounds like) Total price was better than roto rooter as well. Friendly, professional. Plus, mentioned during the daytime and when not in a hurry like today as a preventative maintenance item it'd be even cheaper too. Will definitely be calling again if/when another bigger problem calls for a pro. Very happy we went with a good local place even tho he only had the 4 reviews, and I'm happy to be writing the 5th. If you need a pro, call Mike. And then leave some more good reviews!

Great service, quality and price! We had an emergency sewer back up and needed to replace 8ft of cracked clay pipe. Called CJ Plumbing late on Tuesday, the week of Thanksgiving, and he had Tylers Underground come out the next morning and replace everything for a great price. He checked in throughout the day to make sure things were going well and I was happy. Then on top of all of that he had a plumber come out within 15 minutes to help us with a completely separate issue. Highly recommend CJ Plumbing!

REI is a family owned business with a stellar reputation for quality and workmanship. Over the past two years I replaced water heaters both in my home and rental property. If there were a six stars for a rating, I would give it! The level of responsiveness is a must-have when plumbing issues arise and I need not worry about who to call. I was very impressed with the level of cleanliness too. Thanks!

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.

Our plumber came the same day I phoned, made an amazing toilet repair, and went above and above by installing an extra faucet. Everything has returned to normal owing to his extraordinary talents and efforts. Thank you very much!

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

We have used Green Tech for three years now. Each team member is very knowledgeable and communicates with us before doing any work. They rod our line every year and do our annual back flow test. Kevin and his team are always there for us. We flooded this weekend and the pump failed. They arrived within hours and fixed it WHILE it was raining! I am so grateful and know we are in great care with Green Tech. Do not hesitate to call them. They do everything!
