Best Sewer Line Problems in Chicago IL

Leonard came out on time and worked quickly to resolve our sewer backup. He called additional teams to run a camera and identify the problem and a team to come quote the restoration. Work was done well and timely. Price was higher than others I researched but you get what you pay for.

Vanguard is a breath of fresh air. It's so nice to be able to trust a plumber around here. They are honest, thorough and on time. We have our annual catch basin cleaning with Vanguard and recently they saved us from an emergency mystery multi-unit sink clog. Highly recommend.

Great company to work with very responsive, on time, and professional. Would recommend going with Rocket plumbing!

Outstanding service! We called because any time we used an appliance (washer, toilet, dish washer) our basement would take on water. J came out the same day and stayed almost 5 hours until the job was done! He unclogged all the sewer lines beneath our home, explained what he was doing, showed us the problem and resolved the issue. Cannot recommend enough!

I live in a 100 yr old building and we are slowly replacing the old galvanized pipes that are at the end of their life. I quoted with several well established, and well reviewed companies in Chicago and Chicago First Plumbing provided the best value. We have used them already to change two sections of the pipe and both times the work was professionally completed to our total satisfaction, not charging more than the original quote even though the work both times included valves and elbows not originally in the scope of the project. I highly recommend them.

Trevor was fantastic. He was on time, polite, listened to all my concerns, and made me feel heard. He explained everything and put me at ease. The first encounter was very good and seemed to have great customer service. I recommend this company. I will update the review when they are done with the work.

They have solved many problems, ranging from new faucets to a broken pipe under the basement floor--always reliable and reasonable.

So.., this was a professional and curious job. 1. When they we’re running late they informed me and gave me a window so I could get other things done. They explained what needed to be done with a quote Also what I may expect in the future because of ware and tear from my building age I appreciate that very much. I recommend for professionalism and curtisy

I would never use Walter for a large job. He ended collecting over $30,000 in prepayment for a job I've been trying to get him to complete for 6 1/2 months now...

If you're foolish enough to trust this man with money, make sure you have everything in writing including firm prices, timelines, and consequences or be prepared for heartache.

He just sent me an invoice 7 months after starting the job with drastically different prices than what was agreed to ahead of time. It looks like I have to take him to court. Apparently, I'm not the first customer that's had to pursue legal recourse against Walter.

He will try and take advantage of you if you trust him. Make sure everything is explicitly stated and written down or be prepared to have Walter Zuniga and Zuniga Plumbing exploit you.

We had Mike out this morning to repair our sump pump. Basically an emergency plumbing issue that couldn’t wait. He was prompt, fast and explained everything in detail. We are now back up and running! Thank you!

We used Loves Plumbing for an extensive renovation project and we can't say enough great things about the work that was done. We had a BIG project and lived in the house while the project took place, which can obviously make for a stressful experience. John was tremendously helpful in making sure we were taken care of throughout the project even going out of his way to text and follow up with us on nights and weekends to ensure we were managing ok. John was timely, honest, straight forward and was great to work with; he is our recommendation to friends and family.

Daniel replaced a bath tub drain assembly for me. It was in a really, really tough spot in my crawlspace. I cannot thank him enough.

David inspected and hydro-jetted, and really explained whats going on, illuminating some problems i didn't even know about.

Both of them are real professional and know their stuff. I'll definitely be calling them first next time I have a plumbing problem.

Thanks guys.

REI Plumbing has fixed multiple issues in our old home from a simple replacement of a leaky kitchen faucet to what to do with smelly garbage disposal to fixing the bathroom plumbing after a toilet ring went bad. They are punctual and do a great job without charging you excessively. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I manage a rental property and have hired Rooter several times, both for emergency and maintenance work. They have been reliable, communicative, and professional—and the guys are just good people (shoutout Tommy and Jesse). Over the past few years, I have used a handful of different plumbing companies, and these are the best by far. Gladly recommend their services.

Not long after moving into a new home, we had water bubbling into the walls, through the door frame, and down the hallway upstairs. Accurate correctly diagnosed over the phone that it was an A/C condensation pipe that was causing it. They were then able to schedule someone to come find the root cause much sooner than other plumbers. (Turns out a Freedom Heating & Cooling tech inadvertently kicked a pipe loose while rummaging through the attic to fix our busted A/C a few days prior). Problem solved, and Walt at Accurate hooked us up with Chicago Water and Fire Restoration, who did a fantastic job repairing the affected areas.

Then another call to Accurate a month later, for two leaky sinks. Fast, friendly, very informative.

Then again a few months after that for a hyperactive sump pump. Turns out our mechanical room is filled with things not up to code that the home inspector didn't catch. Like PVC encased in a tonne of concrete. Walt and his associate worked in the cold rain for several hours, installing a backup sump pump, and performing forensics to demystify our Frankenplumbing. Once done he was patient enough to explain everything in lay-terms, made sure I knew what to watch out for in the future, made suggestions for a home generator to power the sump pumps, and provided low-cost options for later plumbing renovations.

Based on my experience, I can recommend without hesitation.

Hands down the best and most honest plumbers I have EVER dealt with. Very reasonable pricing. Very knowledgeable and capable, whether the job is big or small. I have had them out several times and have recommended them to many. They are the ONLY plumbers that I will ever use.

Gavin was extremely frank and competent in his dealings with us. He gave me an estimate and went over the necessary repairs for my leaking toilet. Henry and his apprentice had some difficulties, but they were equipped to resolve the issue. They at here come highly recommended from me.

Joe is a great guy very professional and outgoing. He explained everything in detail . He has reasonable prices too. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a plumber.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! If I can save a singe customer from the experience I have had over the past month! I had a pipe burst around Christmas and this service came out to defrost my pipes. Since they responded I decided to use them for a rerouting. The plumber was not only late but showed up at 7pm and stayed till midnight rerouting. The plumber had to come back several days later to finish the installation because my contractor had to redo some framing. One of the laundry valves they installed leaked and it took the plumber several days to come out, however the valve was never replaced. Like others have said, the owner is in a meeting, little to no response, and after almost a week of no shows and no communication, a different plumber showed up (after I started to request return of payment) and installed a wash tub hook up that was supposed to be done at the same time as the laundry, as he was leaving I said there is a leak and he told me he had spilled water. Pipe was still leaking about 2 hrs later I called them to come back… the plumber tried to tell me it was “ground water leaking” until I pointed out the leak in the cold water valve they had installed the week prior. This is how they left my new drywall…. I’m praying their work holds up but am skeptical! Please save yourself the headache and heartache! Hopefully their contract holds up if there is any further issue!

They came over to replace the toilet flush valve and to repair leaking shower valves. This is as simple as it gets as far as plumbing goes.
They used no parts and were there less than 2 hours.
They charged $724.15..... RIDICULOUS!
My mother in law got these guys out of a church bulliten, thinking they must be honest.
