Best Sewer Line Clogs in Chicago IL

I called on a Monday over my lunch to schedule an appointment to get an estimate and I was able to get someone over that night. Chris was able to identify the problem fix part of it and provide a recommendation for the other, my toilet is bad. He was professional, neat, and thorough.I will definitely use Roto-Rooter in the future!

Thank you Vanguard Plumbing! These guys were prompt and terrific. They did a great job on what turned out to be a not so simple job. Would recommend them to anyone. A+++

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!

Apex Plumbing was great! I had a pipe clog and burst in my laundry room. Apex sent someone out the same day. Brandon arrived on time and quickly assessed and fixed the problem. He was very knowledgeable and skilled, and also very nice. I highly recommend!

A basement flooding after rain storms and a simple catch basin pump out and cleaning resulted in other issues causing the flooding. Turns out my mainline was clogged so then l had them rod it out but issue still persistent because water did not drain after rodding, Jeremy was persistent and wasn't gonna leave me like that so he brought out the pressure jetter and it got the clog out all the way to the sewer and water level returned to normal, also gave me a deal to include the jetting price for the pumping and rodding price at no extra, l was so grateful

Pushy , stay away wanted$3000.00 plus.
cost $9.00 for some pipe cleaner

Wow!!!! What an amazing company!!!! I would give them 10 starts if I could. We recently purchased a house in December and with in a few weeks it reeked like sewer. We had multiple company’s come out, no one could fix the problem but of course they charged us for work we didn’t need and didn’t fit the smell. We have a 18 month old, our new house smelled so bad it was giving me a headache. Thomas came out and he was determined to figure out what was causing the sewer smell. He was able to figure it out and they fixed it!!! They showed me what they were going to do and told me what the total would be for the work. They were very professional, reliable, friendly and honest( which is hard to come by in plumbers) I would highly recommend them. I will using them again for all of our plumbing work and referring them to everyone I know. You truly can’t go wrong with hiring them.

Sam at Chicago Water Heater was responsive to my initial call even though it was in the evening and has done a great job remaining and upgrading our hot water heaters and sump system. He provided us solid recommendations based on our particular situation with no efforts to up-sell products we didn’t need.

They came completed the work efficiently and professionally.

This company is great! They will actually schedule something that works for you!! If you say 2pm on Thursday - they are there at 2pm on Thursday! The whole staff is friendly, courteous and super professional. I highly highly recommend them. Thank you Jeff!!

Great communication throughout the project!

Quick solid work, fair prices! He did a great job on sealing off my sink hole. Excellent customer service as well.

Horrible:
- Arrived very late. Service was scheduled for 10am, and they didn't arrive until 12pm. No time window was provided, either
- Unresponsive. The manager was supposedly always in a meeting and couldn't answer the phone
- Lack integrity. While the plumber was present and had already inspected the issue, I was told a repair would require switching a standard Chicago faucet. An hour later, the story was switched to needing a special order faucet
