Plumbing reviews in Chicago, Illinois

We had a problem with our kitchen sink over a holiday weekend and needed a plumber. When we called, they picked up the phone right away. After we explained what was going on, they asked if we wanted someone to come out immediately or wait until after the holiday. Since it wasn’t urgent, we chose to wait. As promised, they messaged us on Tuesday morning and Jacob arrived just a few minutes later. He checked out the sink and quickly found a good solution, all at a fair price. We were really pleased with the quality of the plumbing service and will definitely reach out to them for any future plumbing needs.

we’ve really relied on this plumbing team in chicago for a bunch of jobs, both big and small. they handled a huge project for us where they had to install a new sewer line, and jacob figured out a way to hand dig around our trees and reroute the pipes, which saved us from having to tear up our front porch and spend a ton of extra money. we’ve also called them for things like clearing clogged drains and putting in a new toilet, and every time, they’ve been quick and professional. most recently, our sump pump stopped working late one night and water started rising fast in the basement. donovan got here right away, ran straight downstairs, and set up a temporary pump like he was fixing his own house. thanks to him, all the water was gone before it could damage our furnace or hot water tank. we’re super grateful for everyone on this crew who’s helped keep our old chicago home running smoothly. we feel really lucky to have found such reliable plumbers!

We had a plumbing company come out to our home in Chicago for a big job in our basement, which included installing new drains and several new water lines. Over the past couple of days, different members of their team, including Donovan and Jacob, worked on the project. Everyone was friendly, professional, on time, and handled any challenges that came up with ease. They did an excellent job helping us plan out the new bathroom and laundry area, and made sure we had running water and working drains each night before they left. The plumbers kept our home clean throughout the job, always using drop cloths and putting on boot covers whenever they walked through the house. We first used this company for some plumbing repairs at another property we rented in Chicago, and we got the same great service now as we did back then. Getting on their schedule was quick, and they always responded to our calls right away. Communication was top-notch, with reminder calls before both the estimate and the actual work, plus a call before they arrived each day. I definitely recommend this team for any plumbing project, big or small. Our renovation got off to a fantastic start thanks to them!

I had never tried this plumbing service before, but I needed help with a clogged underground downspout drain. After looking online for a plumber, I decided to give them a call—and I’m really glad I did! Jacob was the plumber who came out, and he clearly knew what he was doing. He used a camera to find exactly where the blockage was and worked with a drain snake to clear out the clog in several spots. Jacob also took the time to talk with me about a long-term solution, so I can avoid this kind of problem again. The price for the repair was much better than other estimates I received. I’m very happy with the service and would definitely recommend this plumbing team to anyone needing help with drains or pipes.

After moving into our new home, we started hearing water running inside one of the walls and couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. After a few days of trying to find the source on our own, we reached out to our home warranty company, who sent a plumber to take a look. Unfortunately, that plumber only confirmed there was a leak in the wall but said he couldn’t fix it because he couldn’t find the exact pipe that was leaking. He advised us to shut off our water until it could be repaired. We called the warranty company again, but they couldn’t send anyone else, and after several more calls and waiting for days, we still didn’t have water in the house. Most plumbers we tried to contact were too busy to help. Eventually, we were referred to Jacob, and he was able to come out the same day after finishing his scheduled work. Jacob quickly found the leaking pipe in our foundation, isolated the issue, and got water restored to most of our home within an hour. He later returned to provide a permanent repair, making sure all the water was running smoothly throughout the house. Jacob was professional, friendly, and took the time to explain everything he was doing. He even contacted the home warranty company on our behalf to see if they’d cover the repair, even though he wasn’t one of their contracted plumbers. I was very impressed with Jacob’s work ethic and dedication. I highly recommend his plumbing services to anyone needing help.

I thought my hot water heater was broken, so I called Emmett's Speedy Plumbing Company. Jacob and Donovan came out to take a look and checked for any leaks or plumbing issues. After a careful inspection, they found out the hot water heater was actually working fine—the real problem was with my pump system. Even though fixing pumps isn’t usually what they do, they went out of their way to get the right part and installed it for me. Both plumbers were honest, friendly, and very helpful. I truly appreciate their hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to call again for any plumbing needs.

Jacob was absolutely fantastic! I really valued his honesty right from the beginning. He could tell I was stressed since I had just paid for a new water heater. Jacob explained that the best way to fix everything would be to re-route our water line, which would save us both time and money. On the day of the service, it was pouring rain in Chicago, and Jacob offered to reschedule to help keep my yard in good shape if I wanted. I chose to go ahead with the appointment, and they made sure not to mess up the yard at all. Jacob also helped move some furniture in the garage so he could get to the water shut off valve. The customer service was excellent—it's hard to find such great plumbing work at reasonable prices! I definitely recommend this plumbing company to anyone in need.

We were staying at a pretty old rental cottage when the kitchen faucet suddenly started leaking badly from corrosion. Every time we turned the faucet on, water sprayed everywhere. Even though it was a Saturday, our hosts contacted Emmett's Speedy Plumbing Company and within just 20 minutes, a plumber named Donovan arrived at our door. In about half an hour, he had replaced the kitchen faucet with a brand new one, cleaned up the whole area, and made sure everything was working perfectly before he left. I’ve noticed their service vans around here before, but after this experience, I really appreciate how reliable and quick their work is. I honestly didn’t expect a plumber to arrive so quickly on a weekend or to have all the necessary replacement parts ready to go. Donovan was super friendly and professional, making the whole process easy. If we run into any more plumbing problems at this place, it’s great to know there’s a trustworthy company we can count on.

I had a great experience with my plumber in Chicago. I discovered a water leak in the line running between the meter and my house, and they responded quickly to my call. Donovan came out and clearly explained everything that needed to be done, including marking the cable, gas, and sewer lines, and arranging the necessary inspections. They handled the whole process from start to finish! Everyone I spoke with was friendly, professional, and really seemed to know what they were doing. They worked efficiently and kept everything very tidy. Even though they had to dig a long trench to put in new pipe, just a few days later my neighbors were impressed that you could hardly tell any plumbing work had been done. My yard looked just as good, if not better, than before! They also pointed out a possible electrical grounding issue with my home, which I appreciated. While a water main leak is never fun, I felt confident and relieved knowing I had such a skilled team on the job.

Emmett's Speedy Plumbing Company responded right away when we called about our clogged toilet in Chicago. Jacob kept us updated and managed to fit us into his busy schedule that afternoon. He and his helper arrived on time, quickly got to work, and had our toilet working perfectly again in just fifteen minutes. They were both very professional, friendly, and easy to work with. We highly recommend their plumbing services! We really appreciated how reliable they were, especially since another company we called earlier never even got back to us.

Emmett's Speedy Plumbing Company has helped me with several plumbing projects, but replacing my hot water heater was the biggest job yet. I was a bit worried since my water heater is up in the attic of my two-story house with high ceilings and a very small entryway. The old unit was over 20 years old and that size isn’t made anymore, so there were a lot of tricky challenges for them to handle. Jacob and Donovan showed up on time, were really polite, and took extra care to protect my home while they worked. They were patient with me as I asked questions and kept an eye on things. The team found a highly rated hot water heater and even special ordered one that could fit into my attic space. From start to finish, everything was handled smoothly and professionally. I’m very happy with how everything turned out!

We had a problem with sewage backing up into our first floor shower every time the toilet was flushed. We called Emmett's Speedy Plumbing Company to help us out. Jacob arrived during the promised time and quickly figured out the issue was a blockage between our first floor bathroom and the main sewer clean-out in front of the house. He was very professional and careful, making sure not to damage any of our bathroom fixtures or walls while working. Jacob also cleaned up right away after finishing the job. He solved the issue in just over an hour, even taking the time to remove and reinstall the toilet. If you need a plumber in Chicago, I definitely recommend them for their fast and friendly service!

Last night, my garbage disposal started leaking and water covered my kitchen floor. My landlord called Emmett's Speedy Plumbing Company, and jacob and donovan arrived at my place in Chicago early this morning. They quickly figured out the problem and put in a new disposal for me. The whole process was handled fast and professionally. jacob and donovan made sure the kitchen was clean and everything was working before they left. I felt relieved to have the issue fixed so quickly, and I appreciate the reliable plumbing service.

After moving into our new home, we quickly noticed some problems with the main drain and other plumbing in our basement, probably because the place had been empty for a while during renovations. I found this plumbing service through an online search and recommendations from friends. They have been fantastic! Every plumber who came out was professional, friendly, and really knew what they were doing. The prices were fair and didn’t cause any stress on our budget. Donovan, who helped on our job, was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly from the start—no surprises at all. They responded quickly and got the job done efficiently. We’re extremely happy with their service and plan to call them any time we need plumbing help in the future. If Jacob is your technician, you’ll be in great hands—he did an amazing job for us!

The plumbers did a great job! We had a leak on our main water line just past the customer valve because of tree roots. The company sent someone out to our Chicago home the same day we called, which was really helpful. While they couldn’t fix the entire problem right away, Jacob and Donovan came up with a temporary fix so we would still have water overnight. They finished the repair quickly, made sure everything was cleaned up, and put our yard back together nicely. If you need a reliable plumber in Chicago, this team is a solid choice!

Donovan was extremely professional and friendly throughout the whole process. He really knows his plumbing work and made sure everything was up to code in my Chicago home. When it came time for inspection, the inspector said all the work was done properly, and my main gas line was reopened the same day as the final inspection, which usually takes much longer. Donovan stayed at my house until the technician arrived, and they worked together to safely restore my gas service. I appreciate the whole team for helping solve my plumbing problems quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend their services!

I recently had a great experience with a plumbing service. My wife and I were very happy with the work done by technician Jacob. As soon as Jacob arrived, he quickly figured out what was wrong with our hot water heater, explained our options in a way we could understand, and finished the repairs without any hassle. Jacob really knows his plumbing and is very skilled at what he does. He was friendly, professional, and made sure we were satisfied with everything. We are definitely going to ask for Jacob again the next time we need plumbing help.

These plumbers are truly skilled, well-organized, and always show up right on time. Their communication throughout the job is fantastic, and they work quickly without cutting corners. The plumbing repairs and drain work they did for us were top-notch. Jacob was our technician—very professional and friendly. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to handle the plumbing in our Chicago home. We’ve called them out three separate times now, most recently for a major drain and toilet backup. Jacob kept us updated, explained everything clearly, and fixed the problem with no hassle. He also checked and repaired all the plumbing under our sink and gave us helpful advice. The price was fair for the quality of work. We’re completely satisfied and will definitely call them again for any future plumbing needs. If you’re in Chicago and need a reliable plumber, I highly recommend this company. They really know their stuff and take care of you from start to finish.

I had an excellent experience with this plumbing company for my home repairs. Donovan came over and quickly removed a small toy that was stuck in our first floor toilet, and also checked out our garbage disposal that had stopped working. He fixed both issues and gave me helpful tips to keep my plumbing running well. The price for the service was very reasonable, which made me even happier with the work. I also called them out a second time, and the service was just as fast and smooth. Jacob and Donovan arrived only a few hours after I reached out and took care of my toilet, cleared a drain, and fixed a radiator leak. I’m really impressed with how prompt and skilled they are. I highly recommend this plumbing service for anyone looking for quick, reliable work at a fair price.

I was previously told by another plumber that my entire faucet had to be replaced, and I got an estimate between $600-$900, depending on the style. Wanting a second opinion, I called a different plumbing company. Jacob, the plumber who showed up, took his time to carefully inspect my faucet and managed to repair it for just $75. He was friendly, professional, and arrived right when he said he would. Jacob was very thorough with his work, much more so than the first company, who quickly said I needed a full replacement. I’m really happy I went with this plumbing service and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a reliable plumber.

We hired Emmett's Speedy Plumbing Company in Chicago to handle a complete repiping of our home and a full sewer line replacement. The process was well organized: first, Donovan and his team of six took care of the repiping, followed by another crew of five who replaced the sewer lines. After that, two workers came in to patch up the drywall, and finally, Jacob handled all the city inspections. Besides the usual unpredictability with city inspections, every part of the job went smoothly. The plumbers were hardworking, professional, and kept us updated every step of the way. They made sure to clean up thoroughly after finishing the work. I highly recommend Emmett's Speedy Plumbing Company for anyone needing plumbing services in Chicago.
