Mike (owner) very professional, to the point and I strongly encourage anyone in need of plumber call Mike Ambrose Thanks Mike for such a prompt response read more

Mike and his team are great to work with. We have used him for sewer work on multiple places and had had zero issues. His team is professional and communicates extremely well. Most importantly, the city of Naperville recommends him for sewer work so you know he does quality work. If you have a plumbing issue, reach out to him first! read more

Mike saved me money without even having to come to our rental house when I called him for a second opinion on a backed-up sewer line. He answered my call on Labor Day and was incredibly helpful and honest. He suggested I contact the City of Naperville first, and I'm so glad I followed his advice. For any future plumbing issues (knock on wood), I'll only be calling Ambrose Plumbing from now on. read more

We had an emergency when another company totally failed to clear our clogged pipes, and they continued to back up into the basement. Mike brought out an experienced crew, and also some who are learning the business. They are learning it the right way. We have had issues with this drain for 30 years and Mike knew exactly what to do, did it well, and got the city's seal of approval. Coincidentally, just when we had a hundred towels to wash, our hot water heater broke. Of course, this was all on a Friday! On Monday morning, Mike and his team were at our house with a new water heater. Reliable, knowledgable, trusted. We will keep Ambrose Plumbing and Sewer on our short list for future repairs. read more

Best service for sewer clean out. Performed services that others could not, and saved us a good deal of money.

The Ambrose Plumbing Team saved us THOUSANDS! We received a quote from another company for upwards of $8,0000 and, not having any previous plumbing issues, we were panicked and almost agreed to work with this group. Fortunately, we received a recommendation for Ambrose Plumbing and decided to call them for a 2nd opinion. We called at 4:30pm on a Friday afternoon and they were at our house within 20 minutes. They not only debunked the lies the other company was trying to tell us (tree roots had interfered with the main sewer line), they easily fixed our sewer line and charged us a mere fraction of what we initially thought this job was going to cost us. We are forever grateful for your help! This group is: Fair. Trustworthy. Knowledgeable. Reliable. Prompt. Professional. Ambrose Plumbing: 5 stars! read more

The night before Thanksgiving about 4:30, the hot water heater goes out and is leaking all over the floor of my business. I called Mike in a panic and he was there within the hour. Shut everything off and contained the leak so that I could leave and enjoy the holiday with my family. They came back Monday and replaced the unit. These guys are professional, quick and easy to deal with!!! I cannot recommend them enough; I wish I could give more than five stars! read more

We needed a water line and gas shut off valves put in. Michael the owner and another employee came out to look at the situation. again, neighbors in the area recommended Ambrose Plumbing and Sewer. He gave us a written estimate. We went with them. About a day and half later the company arrived as promised. Completed the work within the estimated time and under the estimated cost. The employees and owner, Michael, treated us like old friends and were very respectful of our home. These are great guys to get to know and use. Refreshing to deal with a PROFESSIONAL plumbing company. read more

Ambrose plumbing is professional, reasonably priced, and easy to work with. They were here this morning and did a great job. Mike is a family man you can trust in your home, and he knows what he's doing. We had a leaky pipe under the kitchen sink. Mike was able to figure out the problem quickly, replace the pipe, and get me up and running in no time. Turns out the last plumber we had here cut a few corners, and we had no idea. Mike was able to quickly fix the problem -- the right way -- and he charged us less than the last guy. That's what I call a win-win! If you need a plumber, give these guys a try. I love supporting family-owned businesses, and highly recommend Ambrose Plumbing! read more

These guys are the best! Came to our house quickly, unclogged our pipes, made sure everything was good to go before they left and even explained what we can do to improve our system and keep it from happening again. Thanks Mike! read more

We bought a new house and after moving in, we found that half (3) of our toilets and showers were backed up. My husband read the positive reviews here on Yelp and called Ambrose to come find the problem. It took most of the day and he ended up having to rip one of our toilets out, but he fixed the problem. I was assuming that it was going to cost a small fortune. When he gave me the bill I was SHOCKED! So much cheaper than I feared! He even left some epoxy for my husband to fix a leaky drain. -- so that I wouldn't have to pay to have him out again. I've never had a more honest person come and service something in my home. Ever. As long as I live in this area, Ambrose is the only plumber I will call for another plumbing problem. read more

Very professional; very honest; very reasonably priced and very well done job. Saved me $10k over a less reputable plumbing company who claimed they needed to dig up my entire yard to fix a sewer line problem. Highly recommend them. read more

Living in a neighborhood with mature trees is great, except when it comes to tree roots in the sewer lines. When water came up through the laundry room drain and into our den, we called Ambrose Plumbing. The initial service call was uneventful and we thought everything was good to go. In less than a month, we had the 2nd flood - same culprit: roots in the pipes. Called Ambrose and was charged for the visit. Flood #3 occurred 6 days later -- roots in the pipes. It was very apparent that the owner was not happy to be there. He told me that he "had to" charge a service call of nearly $100.00. **After** I reluctantly paid the bill and signed the receipt, they wrote "Cannot Warranty" on the bill and handed it to me. The three trips and $600 later, we called the city. Using a camera snaked through the lines, they determined that there were still tree roots in the line and that we should be very cautious washing clothes, taking showers, etc., to avoid flood #4, until new plumbers come back to complete the job. Cannot recommend as they didn't finish the job and would not stand by their work ("Cannot warranty' is written on each receipt). Expensive lesson learned. read more

Mike is the best! One time we had some flooding in our basement. We noticed it around 11PM and we panicked - worried that no one can help us that time of the night. We called Mike right away and he came out despite the very bad rain. He figured the problem right away and helped us by lending us some tubes that he had on his truck. He came back the next day to permanently fix the problem. read more

Mike of Ambrose is a nice, honest guy. Gives a lot of information (some as a young woman made me feel stupid, but I guess good to know). Fixes problems quick. Prices honest. A little difficult to schedule with tho. I've made 5 phone calls for two visits trying to track him down as "I don't have my schedule on me"... Little annoying. read more

Mike Ambrose had to change out the ejector pump for our basement bathroom. This job would have qualified for a spot on Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs tv show. I will spare you the details. As nasty of a job I thought it was, I was completely embarrassed. Mike and his crew were all good natured and very professional about it, reassuring me that this happens sometimes. They switched out the bad pump with a heavy duty pump. Their clean up was fantastic. I couldn't even tell (smell) that there had been such a mess earlier. Thanks Mike! read more

Honest, dependable, and prompt. Trust this company implicitly!

I can't say good enough things about Mike and his team. Where all other plumbers were saying that'd have to cut into the ceiling to diagnose, he was able to look directly at the source and diagnose the problem with no destruction. They are honest, very knowledgeable, fair prices, and friendly. They are our new "go-to" plumbing guys. We HIGHLY recommend them. read more

I have relied on Mike ever since I moved here! He does a great job. I have referred him to my friends as well! However, the last few times I have called him, I have gotten no response. Not even a return call which is disappointing considering I have always given him my business. Mike-where are you?? read more

If you are looking for a qualified plumber that does not just the job, but a GREAT job, you've found your plumber. Wore booties into my home. Solved my problem effectively and for a very reasonable rate. Came out on a weekend too! I'd recommend him in a hearbeat. read more

Ambrose plumbing was great. We had a series of items fixed (leaky toilet, new garbage disposal, new sink, leaky shower). The work was done quickly, cheaply, and professionally. read more

We have had Mike out for several repairs. The latest required a call at 9 pm due to a clog. Mike, as he has every time, found the problem and fixed it quickly while giving us great advice on avoiding future problems. The bill was way under what Inwould have expected for Ann after hours call. Mike is an honest and hard working plumber. A rarity in this day and age. read more

Great company! I have used them twice since I bought a house. The first time over the summer they were able to fit me into their schedule and fixed my toilet problem in no time. This winter they were quick to respond to our emergency when out pipe burst. Reasonably priced, above average quality. Honest guys who explain everything in terms that I can understand. This will be the only plumbing company I will use from now on. And I will recommend them to anyone. read more

Honest, courteous owner. Good and reliable work. Will recommend

I had basement flooding. My sewer lines were plugged. Mike, made it to my house within a few hours and fixed the problem quickly. It turned out I had tree roots growing into the drain pipe. He was knowledgeable and friendly. I definitely recommend Ambrose plumbing. read more

We had a plumbing emergency in the middle of the night on a Saturday (water pipe was running through a defunct water conditioner on which a valve burst - causing water to gush at full speed into crawl space - yikes and yuck). Mike from Ambrose showed up practically immediately with a smile and willingness to help. Within an hour, he fixed the problem by re-routing pipes, and all was right again in our house. The cost for the after-midnight repair was more than generously fair. So grateful for Mike and Ambrose Plumbing. He really saved the day...needs a Superman cape. Turns out too in conversation after repair was done (note how friendly he was even in the middle of the night!) that his previous plumbing experience includes working on homes owned by Oprah, Jordan, and John Cusack, among others. Wow! read more

I have had some plumbing issues for quite some time...leaky faucet, upstairs toilet not working, a leak in the bathroom, but had put off calling a plumber because I was afraid of how much it would cost. I called Ambrose Plumbing today and Mike came to the house in about 90 minutes, even though it wasn't an emergency. He explained everything he was doing and why, gave me tips about a few other issues in my house, worked quickly and efficiently. He was very personable and cleaned up as he was working. On top of all that, his prices were so reasonable! I couldn't be happier and am glad to know I now have a plumber in my contact list that is honest, hardworking, and reliable! read more

Quick response with outstanding service. We called and actually talked directly with Mike. Came over the next morning and quickly fixed the problem. Will never look elsewhere for plumbing services. read more

Mike Ambrose has helped me out with plumbing issues three times in the past year now. He returns calls promptly, shows up on time, does great work, and cleans up when he's done. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs plumbing work done. read more

We had a leak in our shower called Ambrose plumbing they worked around my schedule very courteous and professional. It was discovered that is was a caulking issue not plumbing. So honest & didn't charge me anything for coming out !! When I asked how much do I owe the response was " nothing I didn't fix the problem " read more

If you are a single woman looking for a plumber who will treat you fairly and complete the job in a prompt professional manner, call Mike. He arrived when he said he would and replaced my garbage disposal quickly with no mess in my kitchen. I've already asked him to price another project that I was comtemplating. read more

My husband and I were doing a DIY kitchen upgrade and we had installed all the appliances ourselves, except one...the sink. We had a double cast-iron sink with garbage disposal and after what we had gone through with the other appliances (Lowe's knows me by my first name) installing a sink seemed a bit overwhelming but we had a tight budget and determination. We did decide to call around and see what the estimates might be but came back in the neighborhood of over $250 for a simple change out. We decided to do it ourselves but on a whim I made just one more call based on yelp reviews and it was to Ambrose. The quote I received was for $140!!!! and they could come by later the same day!!! I warned Mr. Ambrose that I did have a tight budget and didn't want to waste his time if the project was more expensive so we agreed he would come by to give me a better estimate. It turned out my simple install required widening the actual sink hole which meant sawing, plus the garbage disposal had been installed incorrectly which required additional time and tools. I was nervous but their team did it without a complaint for the originally quoted $140. I am extremely impressed with their professionalism and their customer service, The best part is that my new sink is flawless and my marriage is still strong! read more
