    Stay away from this company. They cannot be trusted, they left my house destroyed with 10 holes all over my laundry room and a basement bathroom after paying 12,000. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We initially contacted the company to fix a clogged kitchen sink. Before they arrived, we clearly explained that rodding had already been attempted and did not work, and that we needed someone equipped with a camera inspection to locate the clog.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When they arrived, they insisted on trying rodding again, saying their machine was more powerful. After several hours, the clog remained. My stairs carpet was full of mud after they left.. They returned another day to troubleshoot, but the camera they had was too large to see inside the pipes which again we had requested a thinner one from the start. Tomas indicated that they needed to do one , two small openings max to locate the clogged pipe. However, this escalated to ten holes throughout the laundry room walls and ceiling, as well as the basement bathroom walls and ceiling. He changed a pipe in the bathroom for no reason. To justify that he opened holes on the bathroom tha had nothing to do with the kitchen sink? Eventually, they discovered that the pipe leading to the outside of the house was collapsed. The solution was to excavate under the house, outside concrete stairs, under deck to fix the pipe. My husband proposed the solution to reroute the kitchen drain through the laundry room floor to connect to the city pipe. They said they needed to come next day to hydrojet and find the city pipe, plus 3 days to do the work. The quoted $12,000 which we felt was a lot of money but we had no kitchen sink for over a week now, 10 holes on the house, and not thinking clearly at this point. We accepted given the stressful situation, we agreed and paid $6,000 upfront. The work was completed in less than eight hours (versus 3 days) far less time and effort than represented. He promised us before starting that he will send someone to cover all the holes. Well he never sent anyone. After a couple weeks we texted and he gave us some BS excuse that he wanted to make sure he sent someone good, didn't mater the cost. A month later, same story, that the job is to small foe him to find someone (10 hold is small? I cannot imagine how much wrost could have been if we let him excavate towards the outside of the house. In summary he can't be trusted, his words means nothing. Do not pay him until you are satisfied. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I File a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and he didn't even answered, that is how much he cares[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. So i am going to leave this review in every place they are advertised and every moms, community facebook pages from north riverside to 10 miles around.

    Y PVC pipe replaced

    Thomas and his son were very professional and diagnosed our issue right away. Thomas was straight to the point and takes the time to show you what's wrong and explain everything. We had a Y sewer line that was cracked and incomplete. Roots were growing and causing a huge block causing backup. They removed it and replaced with PVC pipe and hydro jetting. They are clean and also make sure to clean up after themself. Highly recommend. They gave us a fair quote & price. Go with these guys if you want it professionally done.

    Chicago Sewer & Drain was very responsive to my Yelp request after the work was out of the scope of another plumbing company. They arrived within 30 minutes of my first message, assessed the situation, explained the options, and provided a quote for hydraflushing. Unfortunately, the issue was larger than that so they explained the issue, showed me camera images inside my water line, and we discussed options. They took the time to make sure I understood the issue - and how/why it happened. They provided me with an estimate and we scheduled the rest of the work for Sunday (didn't charge for time and a half). Sunday was a huge project - excavating layers of cement and tile so the work carried over to Monday. They called each time 15-30 minutes prior to arrival, provided options along the way, and answered all my million questions! They finished the work and sent me videos and photos to ensure the work was completed. They also called to explain findings and tell me what was fixed/replaced/added. They let me know to reach out anytime if something comes up or if I have any further questions. They cleaned up the area while also tarping my wood floor, washer/dryer, and carpeted area. What started as a clogged toilet turned into a HUGE project, but I'm grateful I found this company because they were honest, hardworking, professional, and understood it was urgent.

    Thomas came out and assessed my basement plumbing situation quickly and accurately. We had several sewer issues including periodic flooding anytime the city main backed up from the street during super heavy rains. Thomas worked with me to craft an economical solution and then his team got right tow work. Dave, Romero, & Raul were a 3-man sewer swat team. They worked quickly and kept me informed all along the way. We felt like they worked on our home as if it were their own - with care and respect. Thomas and his team were phenomenal. We would highly recommend them to anyone with flooding and/or sewer issues. Thank you, men.

    They responded to my yelp message within 30 minutes on a weekend and I had a window the next day…read morefor them to come and replace my water heater. They arrived early (texted ahead of time) and within 2 hours on a Saturday, my house was back up and running with hot water! I appreciate their quick response and availability!

    The plumber arrived late for appointment. He did not seem very knowledgeable. He kept muttering to…read morehimself and also kept repeating everything he said to me. I had a leaky shower faucet. He looked at the leak and went to Association office of my condo building to request a water shut off to change a cartridge. He was told the shut off would have to be scheduled. He came back to remove cover to see if I had a shut off by the cartridge. I did not. Even though I did not have a shut off he decided to remove the cartridge anyway, but was unable to turn it. Then he said if he was able to remove the cartridge everything would get quite wet because the water wasn't able to be shut off. Then he said he didn't want to get wet and would not try to remove the cartridge. He told me that he would have to return in 3-5 days when the water shut off to my tier could be scheduled. Since he could not remove the cartridge he decided that it was on too tight. He told me I would have to soak rags in vinegar and wrap them around the cartridge and keep rags wet until he returned. He told me if I didn't do this that he might have to go into the wall in the hallway to get to the cartridge. I told them that he would have to get permission from the Association to do something so drastic. The Association told him no. Then before he left he told me to keep the bathroom door closed and leave the ceiling fan on until he returned in 3-5 days. He closed the door. I told him that I had the fan on but wasn't sure it was even working. He did not check the fan and closed the door. When he left, he left muddy boot prints from my bathroom all the way to my front door. When I responded to the ad on Yelp the price to come out was quoted as $69.99 to come out. When he replied to my email he changed the price and said it would be $39.99, but before he left he changed the price again to $69.99. I am a disabled senior citizen dealing with a stranger in my unit and was afraid to question him. I notified his company about the mess he made and they said they had no one to clean it up except him. I told them I did not want him coming back at all because I didn't trust him. I also talked to Association office and we decided he was not competent and that he should not return. I hired a different plumber to come and look at the faucet. They came and found the bathroom door closed and asked me why it was closed. I told them that Preferred Plumbing closed the door. When the door was opened my entire bathroom was dripping water - from the ceiling, down the walls, dripping from the light fixtures and my medicine cabinet. All of the knobs on both my medicine cabinet and my vanity were corroded from the dripping water. The paint was pealing off some of the walls and bubbling up on others. The stain on my medicine cabinet was also peeling off. The floor was so wet I had to put towels down so this plumber could have access to the leaky faucet. Even though I had told Grant that I didn't believe the fan was working, he never checked it before he closed the door. The light fixture was blinking off and on. The new plumber told me that the water probably got into the walls and may have shorted out the wires. Even the floor tiles were coming up. The bathroom door was so distorted from the excessive water it had absorbed it had to be forced to open it all the way. I have been back and forth with Preferred Plumbing explaining the discrepancy in the pricing and the amount of damages Grant caused by closing the door, but they decided that Grant was not at fault. They also refused to adjust the pricing even though I sent them a copy of the email that Grant sent to me quoting the price as $39.99. When the new plumber came he had no problems removing the cartridge even though I had been unable to apply the vinegar soaked rags that Grant insisted were necessary. I would not recomend Grant or Preferred Plumbing to anyone. They changed the pricing and caused a lot of damage to my bathroom. They accepted no responsibility for the price changes Grant made and refused to take responsibility for any of the damages that Grant caused by closing the bathroom door without checking to see if the fan was working even though I told Grant that I did not believe it was working.
