"1960's home. Original copper and cast iron pipes. Well water. There was an extreme Sulfur smell that penetrated the whole system even with single stage carbon filters and a thorough bleaching and flushing of the system. All Affordable installed all new pex supply lines throughout the home, and replaced all the old drainage lines with PVC. There was an immediate improvement in the odor. Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and hard working. They took precautions due to COVID. They laid tarps down to protect all the flooring, and did a good job of cleaning up when they were done. I was especially impressed by Juan and Cornel. The quote and Initial scheduling went very smoothly. They were prompt, friendly and informative, and completed the work quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately, a couple of the items I had ordered from alternative suppliers were delayed due to COVID, so they had to schedule a time to return after the remaining items were delivered. The scheduling of the follow-up appointment was a bit difficult, and is the only reason I did not give them all 5 stars. I am a DIYer, so I did not have them repair the drywall or finish the entire bath remodel, but I have attached a few pictures anyway. I am a single middle aged woman and I never felt talked down to or taken advantage of. They were wonderful, and I would highly recommend All Affordable Plumbing!"
Pipe was completely packed! Drain cleaning was not going to do the  job here!

"My old hot water heater died, and a friend installed a new small 40 gal tank. But I never had hot water after that. I also had a leaking lead pipe. Patrick came and had to be a sleuth to try to determine the cause of the missing hot water. The tank was too small and not functioning, but the real problem was a crossed pipe somewhere in my 1890 house. He found the pipe location in the basement and put in a shut off valve, which gave most of the house hot water. He also put in a high quality 50 gallon tank, and repaired the leaking lead main. To completely fix the hot water, it will mean opening walls, so we left a small 1/2 bath sink and attic sink to be fixed at a later time (or not....).. This was all around Easter, but he put in long days to get it all done."

"My utility closet was a convoluted mess before the HVAC replacement and by the time these guys were done - it looks like SpaceX came in and cleaned things up. They even did some 'extras' for me included; install W/D replacement vent tubbing, drained the water heater, re-directing a variety of piping - the completed job is, to be it plainly, beautiful"

"I called A-1 Superior Plumbing and they answered the call. They were able to accommodate my schedule and were out the following day and replaced the ejector pump. My dealings with this company were positive. Joe, who came to my home to do the job, was professional and efficient and I would definitely use them again."

"on time, and knowledgeable the technician did the job well. Also, I had a problem changing the furnace filter. The filter was getting stuck when taking it out or installing. He repaired that too."

"Excellent service! I had a leak in my basement that I thought was ground water. Turns out the sewer was backed up. Fred was recommended to me by a local Elmhurst group. I called on a Wednesday night and he was available immediately. He was flexible to work around my work schedule. He was prompt and efficient. He also knew the area very well and was aware of the sewer systems and community regulations. I will definitely be using Fred and Sons for any future plumbing needs!"

"We had a blockage in our main sewer pipe under the basement floor. It turns out we had an old flood control gate that had collapsed. It was about 80% closed, so water was not able to get out of the house appropriately. I called several companies and not only was Robert's price reasonable, he was the most knowledgable and willing to talk through the issue and the solution. Robert, Phillip, and his crew were able to break up the concrete floor and replace the pipe despite the fact that it was encased in several feet of concrete and was located right near our fireplace. It was a bigger job than we anticipated due to the original pipe being encased in much more concrete than is typically used, but they were able to take care of everything without destroying the walls or fireplace. The new pipe was put in, and the hole was patched with cement. I can't say enough good things about the planning and work that Robert and his crew did. They were skilled and professional and a pleasure to do business with. Despite the large hole in the floor, the clean up was impressive. Half way through the process when we saw just how big and difficult the job was, I felt confident that we chose the right company. This problem could have been a lot worse, and I am glad we trusted Lincoln Sewer and Drainage to take care of it. They also noticed that our catch basin needed minor cement repair, and took care of that while they were here. I highly recommend Lincoln Sewer and Drainage, and I won't hesitate to use them again in the future."

"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.
