AVOID Jon Baethke and Sons for plumbing work.
Poor. Visit 1: $300 Had a leaky disposall on the sink. Technician was very respectful had shoe slips and wore a double face mask. He repaired 1 section of the ultra cheap white plastic (which was improperly installed by the last plumber from a different company). He tested it and said it worked, I had him fill up the sink all the way and the work began to leak, he repaired it again. We tested in again and it didn't leak, but within 20 mins of leaving tenant checked the other side of the sink and now that was leaking. Technician (Dan Lowry) had to come back to retighten the other side which was jostled during his work. Not a great experience, but not a terrible experience. Also no breakdown of parts and labor on the invoice.
Visit 2: $467 A pipe had burst in the basement during the winter storm. A different company (First Plumbing, fyi they are 60$ per visit not 90$) had come in an emergency to shut it off. First Plumbing were trying to charge 600$ some dollars to repair a ruptured copper tee. Also they turned the whole houses water off, they said to access the valve which unfortunately was installed behind the dishwasher it would cost 250$ to move the dishwasher for liability... wouldn't suggest first plumbing either. I said I'll have JB&Don come to fix it. I was expecting around 300$ again. It was maybe 20$ worth of copper maximum and a 45 minute job. They knew where the pipe was and knew the extent of the repair. JB&Son came out to fix it and said it would be 380 to repair + the 90 visitation fee. I was told by the office (Kathy) the 90 fee would get applied to the work but the technician ensured me this was incorrect. So for 45 mins and maybe 20$ of parts I was charged 470. Expensive, but not the end of the world.
This is where things go downhill.
After completion, the technician didn't turn off the cold water valve in the basement, didn't turn the house main water back on, and didn't check to see if the pilot light on the water heaters went out. This caused 3 days of hot water disturbance for my valued tenants.
Visit 3: Attempted 2000$ charge which was denied, and was still charged 190 for off hours visit. After my valued tenants had to put up with the debacle (and a total lack of apologies from JB&Son) the next technician comes in and tells me that my plumbing was incorrectly installed and that my exhaust vent was disconnected. The charge will be 1,970 dollars to repair 1. Incorrect plumbing - I know that my plumbing was installed improperly, which is why the inline shut off was installed. The cold water inline left open by the last technician (Patrick Sumrall) and after it was closed the hot water worked fine. Glad I didn't pay 700$ to cap my lines when there was already a shut off installed. 2. Vent disconnected. The technician (Josh Hall) told me I had a vent disconnected from the wall, when I asked for pictures it shows the vent clearly connected. He said it would be fixable with self tappers and tape but that company policy is to replace the whole venting system. At most 100$ in parts and 2 hours of labor max. The charge was 1,300. 600$ per hour??? Also I asked the technician to test it with a monoxide detector. He said he didn't have one, but knew there is carbon monoxide in the area. I have a carbon monoxide detector in the utility room which was reading 'green' or non detectable. I called the office spoke to Kathy again and told her of the situation. She said she isn't a plumber but stands by their plumbers word. That this call is a separate issue from my last visit and she would call the plumber and give me a call back. she never called back and proceeded to ignore my next phone calls. Then I was charged 190$ for the off hour site visit. The technicians themselves are pleasant and punctual which is the only reason they didn't get an F. They are stuck at the mercy of the mgmt. But the management at JB&Sons are incapable of understanding the situation, non responsive when something goes wrong, and overcharging for work.

Vanderbosch worked on the kitchen sink in my parents’ house in April. They were so efficient I used them for my condo. They’re licensed in Chicago, knowledgeable about condo requirements and handled all condo document requirements in a timely fashion. An absolute dream to work with.

Dave and Anthony were great! I was truly impressed- They are honest and have fair prices. I was really impressed by their service and work, not to mention they are forth generation. We had a problem with our basement toilet and we felt like it was impossible to fix but these two brothers worked together to find a solution and they did. They were very communicative, professional and truly honest people. We will be using them for any future plumbing issues and would highly recommend!! Thank you Yerkes for such great customer service experience.

As we go through life, there are individuals who make a difference. Juan Zarate, the owner of Go Rooter Emergency Plumbers is one of those people. As consumers, we only call a plumber if we re canoeing in our basements or having to buy a submarine to traverse the house -thus we are certainly in no position to barter or negotiate when calling for emergency plumbing service. It is also well known that plumbers are often lumped in with used car salesman for their underhanded tactics, and shady dealings. Such is NOT the case with Go-Rooters Emergency Plumbers. Juan Zarate is what all plumbers should attempt to aspire to. He is by far, one of the most conscientious human beings I have ever met and that is only exceeded by his honesty. Not only does he solve your immediate plumbing problem, he explains what needs to be done to maintain your pipes, clearly, concisely and at a price you can afford. His work is top notch, he is prompt and professional. In my instance, I was taking heavy water from our recent heavy rains in my basement. I called Juan at 7:00 A.M., he was at my house by 8, and my problem was solved by 9:15 -where else in THIS city can you get such service, AND peace of mind? If you are in need of a plumber, I encourage you, I urge you, to call Go Rooter Emergency Plumbers- you will not be disappointed and you will also certainly have a new friend in Juan Zarate

Had my bathroom faucet replaced. Very professional. Wore booties and a uniform, which is important. Not inexpensive. Did a great job though. Left one star off due to price.
