People I dealt with like Nick, Tiffany, Jessica - and our technician Alan are all superb. I get the sense this company must be managed very well, because everyone has a very nice attitude and exudes warmth. Alan showed up right on time at 7am (even with snow falling) and was efficient and had a very kind demeanor. Price was appropriate. I'll look forward to working with Chicago Backflow again on my annual inspection next year. Thanks again, Mark S.

We use Tom for backflow testing and he's always prompt and seems to be very fair on price…read more When our boiler started leaking into the basement we couldn't get in touch with our installer so we called Tom. He was over in literally 10 minutes, figured out the problem, shut the water off, and gave us an idea as to what to tell our installers when they arrived. He saved us so much hassle and water damage, and then didn't want payment! Of course, we still gave him cash but it seemed not enough for what he did for us. Can't recommend him enough if you want a knowledgeable plumber that is also incredibly fair and kind. Will use him again, no doubt.

I can't say enough good things about Joe and Boss Plumbing.

When we've chosen to use his services, Joe performs high quality work at a fair price. Our most recent issue was an old jetted bathtub that started leaking. As always, he gave us advice for triage and made time to see us right away. He quickly diagnosed the plumbing issue and was able to resolve it, as well as some associated carpentry work, for us in the same day. I wish I could find someone as consistently reliable, trustworthy, and effective in all the other trades. If you have a plumbing service issue, then you NEED to call Joe and Boss Plumbing.

As a review person, I read great reviews on yelp about Gregg and Test Pro Backflow Services…read more I called him and just as I was ready to move on to the next company, he said "let me come out and try and help you". What a relief! Gregg came out and made the official diagnosis that the valve needed to be replaced. He placed the order for the part and returned 3 days later. While there is no comparison to the previous company, Gregg and his professionalism and outstanding customer service deserve the very best review and highest rating.

The State requires property owners who have sprinkler systems to conduct backflow test annually to…read moreensure that the backflow preventers (RPZ valves) are working properly. We have been using Alfa Backflow for a number of years to perform the test and are very happy with their service. When you call Alfa Backflow, you will be speaking to Michelle, who is very nice and friendly. She is also very responsive in email communication. Tom, the technician who conducts the field test, is very professional. Their price is reasonable, and they are prompt in filing the test result with our Village. After our sprinkler system provider (another company, not Alfa) turned on the sprinklers in the spring, we noticed that there was water dripping from the RPZ valve. They suggested that we should replace the entire valve, which would cost $600 - $800. However, after Tom had inspected the valve, he said the leak could be fixed just by replacing a washer. It did work, and the washer only cost $10. Alfa Backflow truly deserves a 5-star service award!

Alfa Backflow to the rescue again! This season the owner of the sprinkler system company that we…read morehave been using had retired, and we had to use a new company to switch on the system. While the technician seemed to be good, he said that the backflow valve was old and leaking, and had to be replaced. Since it would be an expensive job, we told him that we would do some research first. Like 5/6 years ago, I called Michelle at Alfa Backflow to see if they could fix the leak when they come to test the backflow system. Michelle sent Tom, who showed up on time on the scheduled day. He tightened the valve and the leak was fixed! He didn't charge us any extra fee! We are so lucky to have such an honest and skillful company helping us! Michelle has always been very helpful and accommodating to us, and she is always very nice and friendly to talk to. I feel blessed to have a backflow company that we can trust!
