Service was prompt and the serviceman was very knowledgeable. We had just moved in and he was able to explain many things about the plumbing here! Will definitely use them again when the need arises. read more

BEWARE... Do not trust this business, they nickle and dime you and are shady asf especially if you are a woman. I was charged $1060 for them to clear out a blockage. At first Gabriel said that they'll charge me $595 for the first 1.5hrs and then $120 for each additional half hour. I told him that if he could not fix the issue in 1.5 hrs then I would have him stop work. That I believe, prompted him to tell me that bc it's only sluggish buildup in the line then he'd only charge $220 for the first hour and 120 for each additional half hour which made he agree for him to extend past the hr since he said that he had located the issue and that he waiting on a colleague to drop off a tool piece but it's a simple job now the Issue is known. then finally 3.5 hrs later, the issue was fixed and he called me and said his office did the invoice for the $595 base instead of the $220 base. I questioned this over the phone with him, and I just paid the price. I didn't receive the invoice right after my card went through so I called their main line and asked Nicole to email my invoice. Her response was that "she's just finishing up the invoice" and will send it shortly. How are you finishing up the invoice when Gabriel said that the price is what the office invoiced me for??? He even told me TWICE that the fee to charge my card is 3%, then during the invoice time he changed it and said 3.5%. They finagle numbers... I'm convinced that Gabriel decided to mark up my total cost as much as possible and then bc I paid over the phone at that same time, he wasn't able to call Nicole in time to give her the numbers. Immoral business practices and plumbers who take advantage of naive people like myself, but Karma is a B. read more

Aleck Plumbing - Shady business - Beware of this business if you're not familiar with the plumbing trade. - Plumbing Near Me - Homewood, Illinois

They installed a water heater in my house in 2021. Work done was really good. However, the tank leaked in May of 2025. They said they installed a bad batch of tanks. They said I still need to pay for labor because it was after one year. I was quoted $925 and they charged me $1200. The extra $275 was for a new pan (sells for 19.99 at home depot). They said they had to install it. However, the tank just sits on the pan. They didn't even hook up a tube to run it to the drain. When I called and emailed about what the installation charge was for, they said they would have a manager call back. It has been weeks now. They won't return a call. It took several calls just to get them to come out and replace the tank that was under warranty. While I thought I had found a good plumber after the quality of work installing the original tank, I really don't appreciate that they don't take the time to call you when you have a problem. They really over charged for the $20 pan and I can't support people that operate with a Comcast-like customer service. I don't like to leave bad reviews about anyone, but after weeks of waiting for a call back (already left them a few messages), here we are. My mother in law lives by herself, and my father lives by himself. I'm always just looking for a business that will be fair, honest and will be proactive in getting in touch with you. I'm looking for a plumber that will provide that. If they wanted extra money, they should have just offered to fix the very corroded shut off valve that runs to my humidifier. They just left that, so now I still need a plumber to come out and fix that because it is leaking. The worst thing is having to do a job twice. If you don't care about customer service or paying a fair price, then go with Aleck. I have no problem with the technician that did the install. I think all problems stem from the people running the office and billing. I feel it is important to warn others so you can go and find someone that is trustworthy and will be there when you need help and won't require lots of phone calls. read more

I work with Aleck plumbing on the commercial side and they are very professional and do exceptional work. I assume residential side is the same. Highly recommend them. read more

We discovered a leak under the tank of the toilet and it was a holiday and at night. I called Aleck Plumbing the next day and got an appointment. They responded the next day with a 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m time frame. The plumber was professional, right on time, and was able to explain all of my options. The toilet was old and instead of fixing on it I got a new Kohler Wellworth toilet. We love it. It is quiet, the seat lid closes softly on its own. The plumber did an excellent job and was done in no time. This is the third time I have used their services and will continue to call them for our plumbing needs. Aleck plumbing did an excellent job! read more

These guys are great! My family has used them for 34 years at our long time family home. I moved into an apartment and it needed major plumbing work. I didn't even think of calling a different company. They can handle it all and they find a solution for everything. All the plumbers who have done a job and some were challenging did great work! Shout out to the guys: Ron (the OG), John, Ed, and Mike read more

The best service-- I have nothing but praise for this company. They are honest and reliable.

Developed a leak under my kitchen sink from the drain pipe. Aleck Plumbing sent out Joe, a very courteous and knowledgeable member of their staff. Not only was he prompt but didn't seem to mind me asking questions while he worked, and he was done in less than 30 minutes! Price was less than what I expected, too! Great people and service! read more

Overpriced and untrustworthy. They charge $200 an hour and will still bill you if they stand around and do nothing. Got charged $400 for them to sit in their vehicle. Then they left and didn't do any work! Came back a 2nd time told me they fixed everything but there were still leaks. Came back again. Fixed the "leaks they missed last time" then took down one of the walls saying "There is a leak behind it" but there wasn't any?! Got charged for that. After all the bs the total was over $2,000 and this was done to a struggling single mother with 2 teenagers. Disgusting.... read more

Aleck Plumbing has been our go-to for many years. Every person dispatched to solve the problem du jour has been fantastic. However the new gold standard was set by Ron Modrak. He has been plying his craft in the area for nearly forty years, yet continues to learn and update his personal practices, equipment and techniques. Ron is a great combination of old school wisdom and cutting edge enhancements. Best:. He advised me on some DIY ideas for my endless projects. It must have been difficult for him to burst out laughing at some of my questions, but he managed. Perhaps he can put actor under a list of accomplishments! PS the ONLY tip he would accept was a thank-you. I can say it was genuinely given and graciously accepted. All of you reading this:. Next time I need a plumber you had best not book Ron first. I can have sharp elbows!!! Side note to owners-this new system of literally timing how long it takes for a plumber to complete a task is offensive, and I suspect insulting to your employees. I always have questions, especially about possible projects like changing a downstairs shower to a full bath. The plumber should not be penalized as he builds future business for you. read more

Called on a Wednesday to schedule an appointment and the representative worked with me to get someone out two days later on Friday. Fabian arrived within the 2 hour window and was very pleasant right off the bat. He introduced himself and got right to work after I explained my issue. He gave me a fair and accurate quote for the work he would have to do before he started. I was so happy he put booties on his shoes without me having to ask because I had just mopped my floors and shampooed my carpets the previous day. I appreciate Fabian's professionalism and fast work! I have one more plumbing repair that I will handle next month and I plan on reaching out to Aleck Plumbing to request Fabian. Thank you! read more

I scheduled a visit with Aleck Plumbing to provide us with an estimate on the issues we were having. I was aware of the $95 charge for the "service call fee" which I was OK with. I was working at the time they came but was confident that my elderly mother knew what to say with the list of things I left her. The very nice gentleman came and went over the list with my mom and they even called me while I was at work to go over everything. Nothing major needed to be done (thank goodness) but also nothing was done. But.... he did charge my mom $186!! For what???! He didn't do anything. I called the next day and spoke with the manager and explained the situation. He was suppose to look into this and call me back. A day went by... I called again. Left a message with the receptionist. No call back. Called again the following day... no call back. Looks like this company takes advantage of senior citizens. So disappointed. Do not recommend. read more

Prompt, arrival time as quoted. Proficient work done in timely manner. 4 Stars instead of 5, due to No invoice, written price quote for labor done. I would use them again because you will have a job very well done. Thank You. Please MAIL Invoice TO: Marvin Hunt SR. 17072 Anthony Avenue Hazel Crest, IL. 60429-1215 Thank You read more

Cannot say enough about the overall experience. Highly recommended this company for your plumbing needs. read more

I feel that most people have worries about finding a reliable plumber or electrician that they can trust, & when you find one, you tend to be loyal. I can feel that trust with Aleck Plumbing.

As a disabled person, I have different needs than most people & they were sensitive to make sure that I got the necessary service that I needed. I fully recommend them as they were so great. read more

Super reliable and professional. Explained repairs needed in a way I could understand and worked quickly and efficiently.

Aleck was scheduled to come to our house to replace a sump pump and camera a drain line under our house to evaluate for repairs. About 30 minutes before their arrival, we had a sewage backup in our basement. We called them right away and they were able to round up the needed equipment to handle the emergency situation at the same time. The service was impeccable, from the communication to the repair tech who was sent. Ed was friendly and professional and brought some calm to a very chaotic situation. I cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

I had issues removing and replacing two bathroom faucets. My drain pipes did not align properly and it wasn't a straightforward job. After 3 trips to the hardware store and a lot of grief, I finally called Aleck Plumbing. The service professional was fantastic, on time, courteous and completed a tricky job with flying colors. I could not speak more highly of their work. THANK YOU for saving me when I was at my wits end! read more

Had Aleck back again to rework the plumbing in our laundry room. Once again they did a fantastic job - Mike was professional and we couldn't be more pleased.
