Get matched with top plumbing installers for a remodel or addition in Elwood, IL

"Joe the plumber has 30 years of experience. He is friendly and knowledgeable. He explained what had to be done and the installment was done quickly."

"Kept me updated with his time of arrival. Professional providing great advise on plumbing services."

"Well I wasn’t here, I can only speak of the cleanliness of unit and what the wife said about his performance, firstly last year your guy did a great cleaning and repair, and I’ve used you guys for years now, mostly for plumbing emergencies, and always had great service, I know it helps when the man is home, so I’ll assume that was the problem today, the outside condensers were cleaned like ****, I could have done a better job with the hose, which was right next to the units, then because there wasn’t a parent here the first time, the second time out the guy didn’t have a step ladder to get at the fan unit, so he left and another service guy came and serviced the indoor portion, from what I can see not much was done, but like I said it was probably because the man wasn’t home. So next time I’ll be sure to be home for annual inspection and cleaning, I’ve used you in the past at home and recently at my shop in Oakbrook and will call again.! I like perfection or at the very least an effort. I suppose we had a bad hair day going on today, maybe the Covd was bothering him! I’ve had nothing but good service until today, one bad day doesn’t change the 15 previous great service call. The customer service is great as well as scheduling!!!"

The job was done with the highest degree of professionalism and the cost was reasonable. I was so pleased that I scheduled a second appointment on 11/23/2015 for power4 rodding and to install bathroom faucet.

The men were pleasant and very professional - in addition they took off their shoes at the door and cleaned up when done. Unfortunately on the job for the bathroom faucet the old pipe to sewer was corroded and they had to go out and get additional parts which they did and the price to correct my issue was reasonable.

This is the best plumbing service I have used in the last 20 years so going forward if I have plumbing work done it will ONLY be done by AAA Walsh and sons.

"Great! They were unable to get all the way to the street from the catch basin. It was suggested I add a sewer clean out assure all the roots were gone and make it easier for future cleaning. This was suggested in the past, by another company , but the cost was out of sight. This company was very fair in price for both the cleaning (which included the inspection with the camera) and for the clean out installation."

"I had two experiences with this plumbing company. The first was in May and the second was in early July. I will say that in both experiences the office staff could not have been more polite and responsive. On that, this company gets an 'A' from me. The plumbers and the work are not as great. I live in an old courtyard building so the plumbing is older, which isn't ideal. When the 1st plumber came out in May, he used compressed air to clear the pipes and my drum trap. Previously when plumbers have come they have used a rooter to clear the pipes from the drum trap. I mentioned this to the plumber and he said that wasn't necessary as well as it would cost me extra to break open the drum trap (it's just a cover that can be opened with a screwdriver so I don't know why it would need to be broken open or I would be charged for this). I didn't know if that sounded right, but they are the experts so I deferred to him. Once the work was done, the drain did work well for about a month and a half, but over the 4th of July weekend the drum trap got backed up. I called the same company and they sent two plumbers out on a Saturday of a holiday weekend to look at it. Again, the scheduling of my appointments was ideal and the office staff couldn't have been nicer. Two plumbers came to my unit and informed me that my drum trap would need to be replaced with a p trap and this would be an extensive job that would take hours and cost just under $1,000. Additionally the pipe they needed to access is located in the ceiling of another condo owner's storage unit so they'd need access to the storage unit and the plastered ceiling would be removed which meant I'd have to pay someone else to re-plaster. He said the 30 day warranty on the work done in May had expired and that work was just a temporary fix anyway (why didn't the guy in May tell me the drum trap needed to be replaced?). I asked how I was supposed to shower as that is my only shower and I had a dinner party to attend and the plumber actually suggested I take "a ***** bath." He used those exact words and it was quite offensive. I said I needed to think about the options and that I'd get back to them. They left and after the weekend I had a different company come out and they rooted the pipe and said the drum trap was in fine condition and did not need to be replaced. The other company also gave me a 6 month warranty on the work."

"Peoples Gas had turned-off gas to fix a minor leak and the hot water heater pilot wouldn't go back on. Neither we nor Peoples Gas knew the correct way to do it. We called Scottish Plumber who had installed the hot water heater two years ago and they set an appointment for the next morning. Fred came on time, remembered installing the heater, showed my husband the proper way to light it if ever needed, and refused to charge us. He was personable and knowledgeable, and very kind."

I usually don't look forward to giving reviews because if I can't give a stellar review I'd rather not give any review -- just my nature. But with the Plumbing Doctor I have never had a better customer service experience than I had with John and his staff.

I had a pretty bad leaky outdoor faucet and when I saw the Big Deal for an outdoor faucet replacement I did an impulse buy hoping that's what I needed. John got back to me within the 2 days the deal said he would and we made an appointment within the next few days.

His serviceperson arrived on time and went to work. That's when we had a problem. When he was trying to change the assembly, it broke off inside of the wall between the inside and outside walls due to the way it was originally installed. He said he would have to open up my inside walls to get to it, which to me was not so much the problem as it was to getting to the wall as I have a one piece desk-hutch unit that hugs that corner of the wall and basically is non-moveable. Lucian (the plumber) had John call me and said even though opening up walls is not part of the basic service, they would cover it because the pipe broke while the technician was working on it. Whew! I was not ready for major plumbing expenses for a leaky faucet.

Lucian had to take apart some panels under my desk and make 2 holes in the wall before he able to fix and replace the broken section of pipe. When he was finished he said I would have to get someone else to fix the holes as he didn't know how to do that. I was a little disappointed but more concerned that mice or bugs would come in from the outside. About an hour later John called to ask if I was happy with the work done and I told him I still had holes in my wall, he said he wanted me to be "100% satisfied" and said he would send someone over to get them patched. Since that was a Friday, I received a call on Monday from a different gentleman who made an appointment for the next day to finish the job. He brought pieces of drywall and spackle and finished the job. He offered to come back when the plaster dried to sand it down but I told him not to bother that I would worry about it when I repainted the room since the patching was hidden behind the desk panel. He put everything back, cleaned up and wanted to make sure I was a satisfied customer. I cannot believe it. These guys were really concerned about getting the job done, on time and correctly. I would trust them with any plumbing job in the future. And, by the way, the faucet works great and doesn't leak!

"This is the second time I have worked with Windy City plumbing and they are great. For this services they provided an estimate of $240 for the work of removing the old tub overflow and waste and installing a new one as well as an estimate for a kitchen sink drain. They showed up on time for the estimate (i decided not to do the sink) and for the work. They completed the work quickly and checked with throughout for all decision such as using the built-in drain stopper or the existing drain basket which we went with.
At the end of the job, because the work wasn't as much as they had estimated Jose only charged me $125 even though I had agreed already to the initial estimate. Above and beyond my expectations in every regard and I would recommend them to anyone!

"Black Diamond recently came out to do a competitive bid on installing a cleanout line, then doing a hydro jet and descale of the main sewer line in question. On top of being a few hundred dollars cheaper than the original bidder, they found that the original bidder had broken the flange on the toilet when they put it back on and overtightened it. Throughout the process everyone I dealt with was professional, easy to work with, and answered all of my questions. All of that would have been enough for a 5 star review; however, when they got here on the day of the job and went to locate the exact dig space for the line, they found I ALREADY HAD A CLEANOUT LINE (previously most of the estimates had been in ranges based on the original bidder's insistence that this job had to be done, but as it turns out it didn't). That saved me $4,500 on the job, which is pretty awesome! I'm using them for all of our plumbing needs moving forward."
