Patrick was great! Super knowledgable and was very responsive. I would highly recommend.

They came out right away for a camera inspection on my sewer pipe out to the city, this was to see what was wrong prior to purchasing my now current home. Very reasonable price and they showed me the issues with their camera and quoted me on services needed. I will be using them again to complete the work they recommended. read more

Patrick and his team have been nothing but ABSOLUTELY AMAZING to my family! Patrick is super responsive, attentive and beyond professional. Throughout the whole repair (which was MAJOR) he kept us super well informed of the entire process throughout each step of the way! They were always timely and extremely communicative. We strongly recommend Patrick and his team to anyone who needs their services. With Sincerest Gratitude, Calderon Family read more

A-1 Patrick's Plumbing & Sewer is a company I recommend. I actually had the pleasure of working directly with the owner, Patrick. Patrick is young but he is very knowledgeable about plumbing and sewer issues. I had Patrick and his crew out to remedy a major plumbing issue that left my basement flooded that another plumbing company had left me high and dry with. Patrick scheduled my appointment right away within his schedule. He kept me updated with any schedule delays and he with another worker arrived on the day scheduled and they worked on unclogging my aged catch basin. They worked for hours first to rod the line and then to jet rod when the routine rodding didn't relieve the clog. Patrick assessed the condition of the basin while working and we found that a previous company left or may have accidentally dropped their latex gloves in the catch basin and along with its aged walls crumbling they clogged the line. Patrick got the line clear and he also unclogged a basement bathroom sink for me. He explained that the remedied catch basin clog removal may stay open for a few months or years but recommended that I plan to get the basin rebuilt. He gave me an estimate on the spot and we got the estimate in October or November of 2018 that he wrote was good for a few months to prepare and budget for to have the work done later. Also, Patrick explained to me that for work like that I would be paying for my materials which was the bricks and he explained when it was the best time to get them during the down time of the season to secure lower prices on them. I ended up taking Patrick's bid/estimate and got the new catch basin put in the following spring. I opted for the new basin over rebuild because I was getting the aged basin removed and new materials with warranty on the work that lasted a bit longer than just a rebuild. Patrick scheduled the date for the work and they arrived as promised and the work was done in 2-3 days. And we've had no more clogged catch basin and when we last had a heavy rain out basement was dry while our neighbor's basements where flooding. I don't know if the new catch basin or the check valve I have made the difference but it was comforting knowing my basement wasn't flooding. It cost me about $5k for the new catch basin. About $650 for the jet rodding before we got the new catch basin. I recommend A-1Patrick. And they travel all over Chicago. read more

Updating my prior review from 4 years ago. Patrick just helped us with a broken trap. He's still awesome! Will gladly use him again and continue to recommend him to our friends. read more

Very interesting. My initial experience with A-1 Patrick was terrific. I had a water problem last night and called. Left two messages. Not even a return call. If they decided not to cover my area at least just call or text and say so. Just leave people hanging? WOW! and I thought I found a good plumber. Told my neighbor too. Have to let him know not reliable. read more

Patrick and his team are dependable and professional! They have the latest tools in the industry to get the job done right and effective! It was fun watching them work. I learned things and had them back for repeat service. They did 2 sewer scope inspections for me, rotted out my sewer line and made great recommendations for remedies with our making me feel pressured. I recommend these guys. read more

Harold and Chris were great! ( Patrick was on vacation ). I had a small problem with a leaky pipe. They were a bit late because the previous job ran long and didn't make it til after 7:00 but found time for me. They wrapped up about half an hour later and charged me an amount that was more than fair Thanks guys! read more

Called Patrick for a problem with our water tank. He came out the next day to fix the problem, very fair prices and efficient.

I was fortunate enough to have Patrick himself cone out to fix my show do toilet. He was able to fix the problem in under 20min. Very friendly and informative. Well definitely use him in the future read more

We had Patrick and his guys do a major concrete, trench drain replacement job for our condo association. Patrick was able to secure premium materials at an excellent price and get the job done under budget. In my experience the worst part about working with contractors is reliable estimates and timeliness. Patrick showed up when he said he would, he got the job done in the time he said he would, and he did it all under budget. The work he and his crew did is perfect and we couldn't be happier. We will all be recommending these guys as our primary sewer and plumbing resource from now on. Thanks again, guys! read more

Patrick and his crew were on time, efficient, thorough and personable! My toilet and bathtub were backed up due to a broken drain pipe that he had to dig a 4 feet trench along the side of the house to take care of. I am thankful for this company's services! I will use them again for my next project. read more

We have been using Patrick's services since 2016 in our properties as well a relative's property. He has fixed things like unclogging a drain to major sewer repairs. Patrick is always available when we call and his prices are reasonable. He is very reliable and trustworthy, has the best prices compare to other plumbers and has diagnosed problems other plumbers have missed. I cannot say enough about this company. Definitely recommend and will continue using as well. read more

Patrick is amazing. I am in the process of doing a shower remodel and needed to have old galvanized piping replaced with updated copper piping and a new shower valve installed. I called around and even had other plumbers come to inspect the job, but many of those other companies quoted me 3-4Xs more money than what Patrick quoted me over the phone. Additionally, he was quick, efficient, and extremely personable. He also stuck to the price he initially quoted me, which was a major deal since I am on a strict budget. I am one of the biggest skeptics and harshest critics, but I have nothing but great things to say. I have found my go-to plumber. read more

Dealt directly with Patrick. Knowledgable, prompt, and kept to his quote. I called on a Wednesday and rodded my pipes early Saturday. Was on time! Offered a couple options as well. I would recommend him for this service. read more

This company offers great service! It's hard to find a good company and good prices. This is the place if you need this type of service!!

Patrick did amazing work on a drainpipe that came out of my building. To get to the pipe, he and his crew had to dig about four feet into my driveway and somehow get through about 14 inches of foundation to replace it. It was major work that had to be done right away but he came to the rescue and got the job done quickly and professionally. Great work! I hired Patrick for three previous major projects and highly recommend him! read more

Patrick met me at our rental we were remodeling and planning on selling. He did the necessary piping to change out the shower faucet from a double to a single and raised the shower head pipe up 6". Patrick did a great job and since we were going to have the shower tiled, he told me to just call the office and he would come back after the tile work was done and he'd install the fixtures. Once the tile job was complete Patrick came back out and installed the shower head and handle. Patrick was very accommodating and made sure the job was done right. We are very pleased with A-1 Patrick's Plumbing! read more

These guys were amazing! I worked directly with the owner, Patrick and I could not say enough good things about him and his team. I called A-1 Patrick's Plumbing & Sewer Services to fix an issue with my tenant's kitchen drain running slow. Patrick was able to diagnose the problem over the phone and gave me a quote on fixing it. They came out to the property within 15 mins after we hung up. Within an hour, I received a call from Patrick telling me that the drain was running slow because the previous plumber routed the pipe incorrectly, which was causing the water to back up into the drain. He said he was able to reroute the pipe and unclog the drain, so that everything was running smoothly again. He charged me the original amount he had quoted, even though he did a lot more work than he initially thought it would take. Before I called Patrick, I had another plumber come out to diagnose the same issue. That other plumber said he could not unclog the drain because there was something solid in the way and that my sewer line would need to replaced, which he wanted to charge $5600!! Luckily, I called Patrick and he was honest and knowledgeable about my problem. He will be my go-to plumber for any issues I run into in the future. I highly recommend him for all your plumbing needs! read more

Worst. Service. Ever. Patrick initially gave me a quote to rod out a basement, which I agreed to even though it was higher than what I expected. After he started, he changed his mind about what the problem was and then gave an estimate that was 10x higher. I declined, and he left one of my pipes disconnected. He refused to come back to re-connect it. Horrible. read more
