My wife owns a two multi-unit buildings in Pilsen Chicago and has a long time plumber with whom she…read moregrew up. He is an incredible tradesman and always our preferred choice where his services are warranted. We, however, live in Winnetka and this is outside "Armando's" service area. He, however, recommended HT Strenger to us and we are extremely happy that he did. We experienced a leak behind a kitchen wall that another vendor purported to fix yet to no avail so this was a re-do. David of Strenger reported precisely on time and opened the wall as if he was instead a laproscopic surgeon, unlike the previous failed vendor whose access hole/port was four times larger and created a mess that required the acquisition of a drywaller and several hours of collective inconvenience. The first failed plumbing contractor billed in 15 minute increments and, if I am not mistaken, so did Strenger, with the difference being the former's "efficacy coefficient" was zero. Stenger's work lacked the haphazard, sloppy and careless inputs of the first acquistion, one of those "always on the radio" suppliers whose name a collegue supplied, and who regretfully I called, as the job seemed perfunctory to say the least. Unfortunately, my belief of the strong inverse correlation that exists between a company's propensity to run obnoxious radio ads and its tendency to screw up the simplest job remains. Neither my wife nor I believed it necessary to ask a real plumber for a more proximate recommendation ("Armando, who would you hire if you lived up here" was indeed the targeted vernacular) but such is the world in which we now live. Another reviewer apparently thought it strange that the company requests "five star" reviews post completion. David made the same request but I construed this not as a plea of desperation inasmuch as affirmation that one would be forthcoming IF and only IF, we felt comfortable rendering such. Strenger's management, unlike the radio advertisers, seemingly understand that loyality, and the ability to thus eschew spending thousands of dollars or whatever these others pay on psychobabble laden. platitude filled ads, comes from telling customers what you will do and for how much, doing it as promised and then billing appropriately. We now have two favorite household plumbers with Strenger being our preferred provider up north. It's just a shame, however, that it takes typically two suppliers, both requiring remuneration, to acquire one good outcome. Strenger made write all that was wrong and I am very grateful for its excellent work. You will be too.

Review: I thought these guys would be great based on reviews, but it turned out to not be so. First…read moreI talk to a guy there and explain the situation and send pictures and am told me I'll need a camera inspection before doing a pipe repair, and the camera inspection will be $600. OK no worries, let's do it. So then they come out to do the inspection, take a look and tell me I don't need the camera inspection after all. OK great. Then they charge me $200 for coming over for 10 minutes and telling me that....OK. So the guy tells me it will be a couple of thousand dollars to dig down into the basement floor and fix the pipe, and I'm like oh that's not too bad. He says he'll send a quote over. So five days pass and I still don't have the quote after reaching out to them twice to ask for it eventually the quote comes in, and to my surprise it's over $5000. And at that point, I give up.

I hired Illinois Sewer and Drain Inc. to repair the plumbing in my master bathroom. At first, I was…read moreimpressed because they responded quickly and completed the work right away. Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. After the plumbing work was finished, I had multiple tile professionals inspect the shower before moving forward with the remodel. Every single one pointed out that the liner had been installed incorrectly. They explained that there should only be one shower pan liner, not two liners glued together. I contacted Steve to let him know about the issue. He agreed the work needed to be corrected and told me he would come back to fix it. On Monday, we agreed he would return on Wednesday. When I reached out Tuesday to confirm, he rescheduled for Thursday. On Thursday, I contacted him again to make sure he was still coming. He pushed the time back, saying he was trying to find a single liner, and then attempted to reschedule again. I explained that this wasn't what we had agreed to and that I expected the repair to be completed that day. After that, he completely ignored my messages. I then contacted the company directly. I was told they would speak with Steve and get back to me. Hours passed with no response. I called again and still couldn't get any answers. I asked to speak with someone in charge, but the receptionist said they were busy and would call me back. Once again, I never received a call. The next day, I was told the owner, Joe, would contact me to discuss the next steps. That call never came either, so I had to follow up yet again. I was then told Joe would come out on Saturday around noon. Saturday came, and no one showed up. When I called, I was told his arrival had been pushed back another two hours. By this point, I was extremely frustrated by the lack of communication and complete disregard for my time. Joe didn't arrive until around 6:00 p.m. This company promotes itself as licensed and knowledgeable, but in my experience, the work was done incorrectly, they were quick to take my money, and incredibly difficult to get back out to correct their mistake. The repeated rescheduling, broken promises, poor communication, and lack of professionalism made this one of the worst experiences I've had with a contractor. I would not recommend Illinois Sewer and Drain Inc.

That level of integrity, along with their technical skill and clear communication, is rare to find these days. Thank you, Jerry and Cesar, for such an excellent experience.

So I gave them a call and made an appointment. They gave me a few times as to when they could come do my service but I told them that I will not be home unfortunately. This was NOT a problem for them as I didn't need to be home to perform the service. I spoke with Ryan and he said they could perform the service and put the invoice in my mailbox and I could send in a check afterwards. SWEET! I'd like to say that their pricing was the best out of all the plumbers I've used in the area. The day of the service came and they came right on time and performed the service and on the invoice wrote exactly what they performed and detailed their findings as they in fact found roots in my pipe!

Our project was unconventional as we needed a shower fixture for a cinder block shower enclosure. Peter arrived with all the parts required to complete the job without interruption and most of the fixture assembly was done in the back of his "workshop like" truck bed eliminating a mess in our house. The finished product installed on the cinder block wall of the shower actually looks rather nice, considering this fixture is generally placed behind a wall, out of sight with only the shower head showing. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend them to everyone, and for all of our future plumbing needs, planed or emergency, we will definitely be calling Burr Oak Plumbing.

For those other issues, faucet replacements, valve cartridge replacement, overflow flow repair, and hot water heater expansion tank replacement, he provided an overview of the issues, upfront cost for parts and labor. His prices were extremely competitive and his hours are flexible! The work was done so quickly and issues are now resolved. Pete is extremely professional, honest, and personable.
