"I cannot say enough great things about Phil and his crew! He provided a quick estimate and then came back again with me when I was back in town and provided a look of all our pipes with his camera for free (others were charging hundreds of dollars). He scheduled the work extremely quick and sent me pictures with updates. I was really in a pinch to get this work done - I needed a lot of details of the work and the need to get it done and a competitive price. Phil came through 100%. They did great work and cleaned the place up better than when they first arrived."

"Todd and his team are professionals. They were very thorough and progressed through multiple steps of rodding and jetting before finally having to dig in the yard to add a cleanout to resolve my sewer issue. The entire team was contentious and intent at every step. Unfortunately, my 60+-year-old pipes needed a bit more than could be managed from inside the house. Not only were they professional and aggressive in resolving the issue, but they were also very responsive to our urgent needs and showed up when they said they would for every visit. Great guys and fair pricing...highly recommended"

"Did the job. Did not discuss pricing until after arriving. For the visit it costs $75 just to show up and not perform anything. Was trying to consistently sell other things then service requested. Did the job."

"It looks like more extensive work is needed, and I'm grateful that the owner shared his considerable knowledge of Chicago unique waste systems management to get it resolved. It's going to cost more $$ but I feel confident that it's a fair price with the right company."

"Mark kept us informed before during and after the project.  Due to previous damage to the tub Mark had to complete a repair before refinishing. Overall about 7 hours of work. I would not hesitate to use again.
"

"It went well! The repair was very extensive but they did a great job. They were very professional and I would highly recommend them."

"Dom came out to look at the sink. He let me know it would need to be rodded, but the pipe itself was very rusted and may need to be replaced. He tried he best to find a way to get the sink fixed that day without needing to replace anything. Unfortunately the sink is done. He was able to get a technician available right away for tomorrow to start the process of replacement. Very pleased with how this was handled."

"I highly recommend Essential Plumbing and Sewer. We were in desperate need of immediate help when the water would not shut off in the bathtub. The immediate situation was to turn off the water supply valve for the entire home. This unfortunately meant that we were unable to use any water or bathroom facilities. Add a small baby into the mix and this escalated into an emergency situation. We found Essential Plumbing and Sewer on Angie’s List and read all the great reviews. They did not exaggerate because from my first phone call to Maria who was amazing. She understood our desperate situation and set up a quick appointment. She sent Fernando who was such a nice guy and so personable and he quickly replaced the cartridge in our bathtub. I can tell you for sure that for any plumbing needs in the future we will definitely use Essential Plumbing. Thank You"

"Sewer line froze and backed up into the downstairs bathtub (gross!!) on New Year's Day. Someone was at my house within hours and tried diligently for hours to fix the problem only to learn the pipes needed to be replaced. They came back 2 days later, on time (early actually) and completed the job. The young men that were here for both occasions were professional and had great personalities."
