Best Sump Pumps Installation in Chicago IL

Waste of time and a scam.

The website claimed I could get an estimate online, except it doesn't, only scheduling an appointment. The website claims, no-obligation cost estimate today and Straightforward pricing and upfront quotes. Without that option on the form, I tried a more direct approach.

So I tried the phone number, and instead got a run around. In short, this company will not provide an estimate unless you pay to have someone come out, so those two sales pitches found in print are lies. Worse yet, it took me 3 phone calls as they kept passing me to an estimator to call me back, who was never in the office when I called, who did not have a dedicated line nor voicemail to contact directly, and when I finally caught her, gave me this pay-to-play pitch different than the company's website and their own customer support agents claimed was possible.

My job was a basic one: replace a faucet, I would even buy the materials. And they could not give me an estimate for that basic work without me paying to have someone come in my home.

During a pandemic, this kind of on-site and pay-to-play quoting isn't OK. Worse yet, for me to find out this information, I had to chase them.

Update: the company replied, which confirms what I have posted. Yes I did not provide my address, but did provide my zip code. That should be enough for an online estimate. Beware this company!

Tenant's toilet was slow to drain...called Roto-Rooter and Kelly came out the next day! I was notified an hour before he arrived; he was right on time. After a few minutes, he accessed what needed to be replaced, and within 15 minutes he was done. Very nice young man. Will not hesitate to call with any other repairs.

Great job.

Initially I reached out to Rob's shop because they were local and I like the idea of working with small businesses. Unfortunately, that is what plagued them in the end.

My needs were not an urgent plumbing matter- my shower only dispensed really hot water, borderline scalding, which is not pleasant to use, but I've been dealing with it for a few months now.

After playing some phone tag to reach them, I was able to explain my needs to Ralph. He promised he would call me back the next day with a quote on the work and to schedule a time to come out. Three days later I still had not received a follow-up call. I called in and had to re-explain my needs to a different guy, but ultimately he had to have Ralph call me back to schedule a time.

We scheduled them to come out on a Wednesday morning. I took the morning off of work to be home while they worked. They said they would be there between 7-7:30 and didn't show until 8:30. After taking my shower apart, they informed me they did not have the right part and needed to visit their supplier and would have to take my part with them. They also informed me that it could not be done in the same day and they would have to come back tomorrow. There was also the chance that it would be a different technician. I was not very comfortable with the idea that the guy who would be putting it back together was not the same person who took it apart.

It was the end of the day and I still had not heard from Ralph about when they would be coming out the next morning - I'll have to take off from work then too. I called in and Ralph informed me that they do not have enough guys to send out tomorrow and would have to wait until at least Friday before they could come out. This puts me without a usable shower for 2 days. They did eventually complete the job and which was satisfactory.

Bottom line is they are a small shop and they operate like one. Their prices were a little high. You might expect a lower price given they have less overhead than a bigger company.

I give Oscar/ Chicagoland plumbing Inc. 5 stars. Oscar did a great job at repairing our kitchen sink

Jose T. made the first visit to discuss radiator issues and provide a quote. Everything was well explained, and all my questions answered.

He also performed the work - three radiator valves and two vents. My home was left SPOTLESS upon completion. Aside from the new parts and the units being correctly pitched, you couldn't tell anyone was there.

VanDerBosch Plumbing was recommended to me by neighbors who had radiator issues last year; I would recommend them to anyone in the Chicagoland area for the same.

Really honest, I didn't feel like they were trying to sell me an expensive solution to my problem

Eric was amazing! I was very pleased with his service and promptness to my toilet concerns. He came thru to inspect the concern and immediately located the root cause. He is also very honest with his pricing. I highly recommend his business and will definitely utilize his service again.

Sincerely,
New home owner

Go-Rooter was professional and quick. I’ll call them back next time I need them.

Don't waste your day on these no-call no-shows.

I called in the morning with a very easy request that I explained perfectly and sent pictures for. The promised to come between noon and 1. They never showed nor called. I had to call them multiple times and they kept promising to come. Finally they would not call me back.

I am a general contractor and they wasted my whole day. I would have given them more work too.

Stay away unless you want to waste your day as well!!! Call another outfit who will show up and communicate.

Andrew was stellar in his knowledge and service. We were in a pinch and J. Blanton Plumbers made it a point to get to us the same day to fix our problem. Highly recommended.

Excellent Service

Used yesterday 2/17/18. Second time I’ve used them and I am very satisfied. First time I had a bad seal on my toilet and the gentleman fixed in the first hour he was there. This time around I had a leak on the second floor and the plumber (Joe) showed up and helped me identify the cause of the leak in the first hour he was there. They didn’t milk the clock or up charge me and we’re honest about the solutions. They were also on time. Will definitely recommend to my friends and will also use in the future.

Came very quickly on a Saturday. Excellent and timely service.
Great work!

Sam's Plumbing And Rodding is a great company! Came out quickly and on time. Very reasonable prices. Completed the job quickly and didn't leave a mess. Quality work. Have used Sam's Plumbing And Rodding multiple times, and they will be my first call next time I'm in need of their services.

ZERO STARS !! I spoke to Mark a day after leaving a message to get an estimate to replace a shower base. We spoke on the phone and I told him we wanted a shower base removed and a newer on installed. I sent detailed pictures to him per his request. He replied that he was concerned about something he saw in the picture I sent so I told him I would contact the building engineer with the concern he had - I email him with the building engineers response and did not get any reply whatsoever - perhaps this company is content rodding sewer lines for a living.

Mike is honest, professional and a straight shooter. This year I needed several jobs done and can trust Chicago Plumbing and Drain to fix the problem, without worry.

We used Loves for a leak in a pipe that was causing damage in our living room. I can’t say enough great things about the work that was completed. Our phone call was quickly responded to on a Saturday. He answered all our questions and explained as he worked. He protected all the surface areas in the work area and cleaned up after he completed the job. He was thorough and tested and retested until he was sure the problem was fixed. I highly recommend Loves Plumbing & Sewer!

I called Apex this morning and liked the response from the older gentleman. Two plumbers (Brandon and Adan) showed up promptly. Here is my experience this morning. The leakage was caused by our unit where the pipe was not being aligned to the hole under the water heater. They did diagnose the problem correctly (I hope, finger cross!) I would say Brandon as the lead was discourteous - didn’t introduce himself, knocking the door very loud or close the door loudly. When he talked about the solutions on how to prevent the pipe from being displaced, ($400 for replacing the PVC pipe; $200 for attaching PVC pipe and no cost for putting a brick on the pipe), he failed to mention one solution that a plumber usually does- glue the PVC pipe. Another contractor told me a plumber should have offered that solution. I paid the $199 for diagnostics. The overall experience is unpleasant. I will not use their service again.

We have used Full Circle several times for several projects including a new water heater and will keep going back. The responses are prompt and the work is very professional.
