"I initially was experiencing flooding in the drain underneath my furnace in the basement. Dmitry called me within the hour I submitted a request online for a quote, and he came out a few hours later to assess the problem. He was very thorough and it turns out my sump pump needed to be replaced (over 13 years old). One of his employees came out the very next day and completed the sump pump replacement within an hour and a half. I have experienced no flooding issues since and am very happy with their service, especially with their responsiveness (I have not received a quote response from 2 other businesses on Angie's List as of yet)."

"Cleaned out the main sewer even though it didn't need cleaning. What was supposed be cleaned was the catch basin. Crew came over could not open the lid, told me that it would be up to me to open it. Then they would com back. You would think that they would how all the tools and no how to open any and all catch basin. They never called me back or followed up with me. I will never ever use them again. Very disappointed."

"Called Saturday morning after my sump pump malfunctioned, fortunately it was not raining. Matt answered, asked about the problem and then said he could out in a couple hours. Less than 2 hours Matt arrived, assessed the situation and replaced my old pump with a new pump. In less than a half hour later the new pump was installed and working as expected. Everything went smoothly and efficiently. Very pleased with the responsiveness. Will look to M & E Plumbing for all future plumbing needs."

"We knew that we also had a fair amount of ferrous oxide in our water and that the softener wasn't the ideal way to remove that. That being said, we were also interested in an iron filter, during our water softener replacement. I contacted a number of water companies and had them come out to survey the work to be done and make their recommendations. We felt the most comfortable and confident with the recommendations made by Mark from Chicago Water Pros. He is very knowledgeable and put together a solution that fit our needs. Very professional. Came back a couple of times to check to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. I highly recommend Chicago Water Pros."

"Mr McDonagh sent his worker the day after we agreed on a price to begin the project. He repiped the shower and removed a drum trap that was no longer in use and put in the base of the shower.
     Since I had to remove tile, the walls were not smooth. I had to replace one wall and cover holes in the other wall. It took me 10 days to accomplish this task. I called to have someone come out and finish the job. There was some misunderstanding about when the work was to be finished but we straightened it out and on 3/27/13 the work was completed. He did an excellent job and there was no need for me to clean up because he left the bathroom the way he found it.

"We had an excellent experience with Windy City Rooter. Max (the owner) and his son came to my house to diagnose the problem and give a free estimate. Unlike with other "big name" companies, I felt comfortable with their diagnosis. Windy City Rooter sends actual licensed plumbers to your house and not uneducated salesmen guessing what the problem is and trying to sell you expensive sump pumps or experimental fixes. Although the diagnosis was not good (we had a blocked overhead sewer with a leak in our basement), Max was huge help in making the ordeal as painless as possible. He explained the entire process of replacing our sewer, including city construction codes, digging, replacing pipe, sealing walls, and clean up. Windy City Rooter does all their own work, they don't contract out anyone else (one of Max's sons is in charge of the excavating). Therefore they know everything that is going to get done, how much it will cost, and how long it will take. They dug up the sewer, replaced it, sealed our walls, and cleaned up all in one day as I was at work. Max was phone call or text away, keeping me updated on the entire process. In addition he also helped by talking directly to our insurance adjuster to ensure we could get some money for the damages. Windy City Rooter is a highly experienced family run business and it is obvious that their goal is to make the customer happy. I will use them for all my future plumbing needs."

"My name's Kelly, I live in Roselle and when i called Mr.  Rooter my toilet wasn't working (wouldn't flush, water kept running).  The tech they sent out was Manny and he was such a pleasure to deal with!  He inspected the toilet and since it was a older push button toilet he said they'd have to order the pieces and actually take the toilet to repair.   Manny explained all my options and pricing,
I rent so I kept waiting to hear from my landlord (no call back) so I sent him away and told him I'd call back with my decision, before even calling Mr. Rooter I had waited a day to hear from my landlord and NO luck, so I didn't want to wait any longer.  I made the decision myself!  He wasn't even gone 30 minutes I called him back to replace it.  He showed right back up, we chose a toilet- I went with the most basic white toilet and he went out and bought it.  Installation went fast, when he was done he went thru the whole house and did a free inspection of all plumbing.  I was very happy with my service call and my son was happy too cause Manny so nicely gave him 4 magnets to keep!

"I called D & P, and Mike promised to stop by the same day, even with having a busy schedule. The new sump pump was installed in less than 2 hours very clean and professional. The price offered for the materials and labor was very good."
