"EXCELLENT! The pipe clogged on a SUNDAY AFTERNOON, of course. Water was leaking into our basement! I started looking for someone with 24 hour service, and no one could come out. Then I got a call from IL Sewer and Drain. Joe said he could be out in about an hour, it was already after 4:30 pm. He came out, and was able to unclog our pipe! But upon inspection, the pipe needed to be replaced. He was able to schedule it for the next morning! The work took a few hours, but was all finished and cleaned up! I would not hesitate to hire them again or give them an outstanding reference."

"Very professional, friendly, clean and fast. He even fixed some bad plumbing the original installer had put in, without charging or complaining. Price was what he quoted plus a few hoses and valves that had to be replaced. Would definitely hire again."

"four seasons has always had the part necessary to do the the repairs or service required."

"Whenever there was a heavy rain, flood water would come through the cracks in the "cove" where the basement wall meets the floor near the basement door leading to the exterior stair walkout. Lincoln correctly diagnosed the problem as a broken p-trap. Douglas came with one other person on time, efficiently broke through the cement landing and put in a new clay piece with a 2 foot extension. He showed me the old clay rain drain that they had removed, and it was collapsed and completely plugged up rocky clay, so it was no longer draining out to the catch basin. The house is 100 years old, and the pipe was no doubt original. They smoothly re-laid the cement at a pitch so that the water flowed toward the drain, and cleaned up afterward. No muss, no fuss; they were done in no time. They even rodded out to the street at no extra charge. The problem was fixed, and there has been no more basement flooding near the basement door! Yeah!
Lincoln had been recommended to me by a neighbor. I got quotes from three sewer contractors, and Lincoln's was actually the lowest. One of the companies I spoke to was not even interested in investigating the rain drain, but only wanted to sell me an interior drain system with a sump pump for $6,000. Problem was that the interior drains are no longer allowed in Oak Park. Well, we are happy that we got the problem fixed by honest, competent people. It was a pleasure doing business with them and I would recommend their sewer service in a heartbeat.

"I can no longer recommend John.  
He helped us in 2009 when we bought a condo from the first owner.  He fixed some leaking facets and installed some water filtration units.  We were very satisfied with his work and promptness at the time.  We felt the yelp 5 stars he had at the time were justified.
The trouble started when it was time for him to come and replenish the filtration compound on one of the units he had installed.  We spent a couple of weeks trying to fix an appointment.  He simply forgot about one of the appointments and rescheduled us twice (once for a family emergency.)  When we finally got him to come, he apologize and said that he was not going to charge us for the refill and that he would be back soon with our canister.  He left a temporary replacement.  John also noticed that our kitchen sink was falling down because the developer had not mounted it to the granite without enough supports and offered to re-install it correctly for a reasonable cost.  We accepted the offer, so when we returned with the filter canister, we had him to the re-install (which took several phone calls and text to arrange.  
John failed to mention that he was going to use PVC pipe to prop up the sagging sink instead fixing it to the granite with more metal supports.  John did a bad job of putting in the silicone barrier between the granite and sink, so water splashes started to leak into the cabinet below the sink.  The worst part of this is that the biggest silicone hole was directly on top of the PVC at the front of the cabinet, so the water was leaking down the middle of the pipe invisibly and causing damage to the wood bottom.  When I contact John about this issue, he said in a text back that he would have to see it for himself and that is the last correspondence we have had from.  Tired of wasting our time trying to get his attention and fix appointments we spent this morning removing all of his moldy, dirty, half complete silicone and are redoing the job correctly ourselves.  
My personal opinion is that he is too busy and can't manage his thriving business (he has more than one work crew) while doing the work himself.  He tries to rely on text messages, but often forgets to update his schedule or contact book, so asks for the same message again and again... and still manages to miss appointments.

"As many people in the Chicagoland area likely experienced, we had some plumbing issues as a result of the Great Polar Vortex of 2019. Since we were running our water to prevent pipes from freezing, we found that we had drainage issues with our upstairs bathroom. We noticed a leak staining our kitchen ceiling and basement wall so we figured it was coming from the upstairs bathroom since that's where we had the sink turned on to drip. Guillermo came over on a Saturday to take a look at the problem. He arrived on time but wasn't 100% prepared for the task at hand. I was a little concerned with his indecisiveness on where to begin looking for a problem. He kept asking me where I wanted him to cut into the wall and look but I'm not the professional, you are. I guess maybe he was doing it because he was going to have to cut into drywall and he wanted me to give him permission to do it so I wouldn't be mad? I'm not sure but it wasn't super professional especially since I have no clue what is going on inside the walls. I don't know what different types of leaks look like and, presumably, he does. He ended up cutting way too much drywall, including in the back of the pipes and then couldn't even see the drain pipe to the plumbing he was there to inspect. Our insurance likely won't cover that so we'll be on the hook for repairing it. Sigh. Once Guillermo guessed the source of the leak, the plumber still had questions. He basically said he could cut into the ceiling under the toilet and look around or take the toilet out and see if it was a flange issue. He wanted me to make that call even though I don't know anything about plumbing. Of course, he cuts into more drywall, can't see a leak, so he still has to go take the toilet off. Turns out the toilet and the drain pipe were the issues. In the midst of cutting into the ceiling, the plumber realizes he doesn't have a ladder tall enough to see into the ceiling and neither do we. He has to go to a hardware store in the middle of all this to get one and then he comes back with a broken one (not his fault, but such a time suck). So he's out again to get a new ladder to replace the broken one just so he can look up into our ceiling. I feel like all the plumbers should be equipped with ladders and other equipment they might need in all kinds of houses because we aren't the only people in Chicago with high ceilings. That ended up being 90 minutes of time we'd never get back just waiting for him to come back and finish the diagnosis. Once we figured that out, we waited for the instillation crew to come in and replace a few feet of drain pipe and install a new flange for the toilet. We had to wait four days for someone to come and do the install which seems a bit long for a job that takes about two hours. Same thing happened with the install crew: they didn't have the correct size flange so they had to stop work and go to the hardware store. They were gone for almost an hour so my husband was just stuck waiting. They did a good job on the install once they were back and had the right equipment so our toilet is in fine, working order and draining properly. We ended up paying about $1900 for all of this work, the majority of which was labor costs. It really seems a bit high that these guys are making about $250 an hour for "work" that included going to Home Depot to get more supplies that they didn't come with in the first place. The work they did shouldn't have even taken that long and I got stuck with the bill, which seems odd. Another $375 of that was just to let the first plumber make holes in my wall that weren't totally necessary just to discover the toilet flange wasn't big enough. I know that it's not his fault that he couldn't see that the toilet was installed improperly from the outside, but it was really upsetting to have the plumber basically ask me what to do in terms of where to look for plumbing problems I know nothing about. Their customer service was always nice and easy to deal with, so that was a plus. Overall, I am happy with the work that they did since my toilet works and is no longer leaking, but I felt like the process of dealing with the plumbers in the house was somewhat unprofessional since the first didn't seem to know what to do and both sets of plumbers did not come prepared with the equipment they needed to do their jobs."

"The coupon deal was exactly what we needed to discover the origin of a leak identified by our newly installed water meter system.  Matt and Mike were both courteous, personable and professional.  They quickly completed the inspections, determined the leak and estimated repairs.  The plus was we took them around and discussed additional plumbing projects/problems and Matt wrote up a detailed estimate for each on the spot!  Estimates are so important in planning and budgeting for all our projects.  In addition, we appreciate they are a family owned, local business.  Thank you J.Blanton Plumbing's Mike and Matt for a great experience!

"The 2 plumbers were on time, neat and careful around the house....repairs were made quickly and friendly...have already used them again for another repair"

"Anthony came out right away and identified the problem (there was more than one.) He offered several solutions and scheduled the work for the next day. The workers were punctual and as clean as possible (no small feat when you are drilling cement.) Our basement is finished and due to access, they had to take down part of a wall but all was explained upfront. I would definitely hire them again. We were so upset about the water because we had just laid new carpet (of course) but Anthony made me feel better once he identified the problem and we agreed upon a solution. Also had them install new sump pumps as we were nearing that time and we wanted to be as safe as possible. Really felt it was a fair price given all the work they did."
