I called the number and left a voice message, in less than 30 mins they have responded and found somebody to fix the back flow in my basement. David was a savior! He was pleasant, and very professional. You can feel that he really wanted to make sure he leaves nothing unturned to fix my problem. He explained well what possibly happened and made me understood the process. He has lived up to their company name. Highly recommended!! read more

I have used Good Guys multiple times at my home in Oak Park. I constantly need plumbers due to my older home and all the beautiful trees in my lot. I have used three different plumbers for work and hands down, Good Guys are always the best! They are responsive, friendly, courteous, flexible and have the best prices for service. They will work countless hours and not add extra costs (saving thousands) to their estimate. They are incredibly professional and are the best value by far. Skip the companies that charge surge rates and send auto texts or charge excessive hourly rates. I've learned my lesson and will only use Good Guys moving forward. read more

The best plumber around. Very reliable and very good work. Very recommended. Up front quotes and quick service.

Have been using Emergency Plumbers Good Guys for years and they always have been there whenever I called for all clogs. It doesn't matter what weather, rain, sleet or snow they will be there. read more

Fast response, great service, transparent pricing. Ray came out at 6am to help us with an emergency plumbing situation. He got to work and assessed and fixed the problem quickly. He clearly communicated what needed to be done and why and how much everything would be. Really appreciate the great service. Thank you, Ray! read more

These guys are great- had several service calls and they are reliable, conscientious and do quality work for a fair price. Good to have a plumber you can count on! read more

I've always had good service from Good Guys and I've recommended them to others. My parents had an emergency on a Sunday night, and water was filling up their kitchen. They were stressed and I was stressed so I called up Good Guys. They reached out to me immediately, and Dominic was on his way. He was able to diagnose the problem and repair the issue after finding a part. It was Sunday night but he still was able to find it. He fixed the issue and a crisis was averted. Thank you for being so responsive and kind and kudos to Dominic.They really want to help and you can see that in their responses and the work they do. The professionalism was highly appreciated by our family. I hope they keep up the good work. read more

Absolutely not! We called them about the toilets being backed up. Ladies room and men's room. So 4 toilets and a urinal. Told them how many toilets and urinals we had and how it had to be rodded out 200ft. We were quoted over the phone $1745. After not having luck with another vendor, I went ahead and got these guys out. Dominic was the one that came out with two other people. Very friendly and approachable. No problems. Well I see the paper. There is an additional fee of $625 if it has to be hydro blasted. Ok I thought well hey if it has to be done so be it. So didn't question that. I was not happy that I was not told this over the phone as I'm using a company card and I needed approval. So I call right away to get the approval. Done. Final bill I see him add $325. I ask "what is this for"? He said because he had to service each toilet and urinal. Wtf! So I'm I like ok are you going to clean up the mess?? He says "yes". So I. Have no problem with that either. However they mopped the dirty disgusting floors with MY mops and leave water all over our back room. Puddles. Also the toilets and walls covered in sewage. What happened to the cleaning ?? Wtf was the extra $325 for?? So, long story short, I feel as if I got taken by a local plumber. I should have just went with rotor rooter. I will NEVER recommend these guys. I was so impressed with the fast response and promises. But the promises were empty and the rodding of $1745 turned into $2695. If you want to get taken I guess choose these people. I will never use them. Yes I have had this problem in the past but the plumber I originally used wasn't available. I was actually going to use Good Guys in the future and recommend them but I can't. Not after what happened today. Also I am including pics read more

I've used Good Guys multiple times now, both for minor fixes as well as major issues (replacing a water heater) and they were always excellent. Incredibly accommodating with my schedule, quick to come out, doing fantastic work, and very reasonably priced. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

Very nice guys. But I paid them over $1,300 And couldn't fix the clog. Their next step they were going to dig and fix it. But I had to pay extra $1200. I called some one else and fix it for $500. I request a refound of at least half of the $1300. That I paid for nothing. But just said they will ask the office. The office say they will ask the guy. And still nothing. This is over a month now. read more

Here's the situation: a persistent leak above my kitchen sink coming from the unit above at 6pm on Saturday night. Dominic and Ray after a thorough investigation of both units, determined that leak from above was not from the sink but from a dishwasher adjacent that was leaking from underneath. They were a great team who solved a problem in an hour. My neighbor and I both plan to use them again for all projects. read more

David there walked me through trouble shooting (identifying and fixing) my problem over the phone. He was very patient, requested a couple pictures, and told me how to fix it without charging me for it. Great service and I will be calling them next time. read more

Very knowledgeable. They take pride in thier work. Very trustworthy. This company will be our forever plumbing resource.

Called to set up a time for plumber to come out- he said he would be at my place the next day between 9am-11am... Time goes by- it's 11:30am.. I text... no response!!! I called.. no answer!! I left a VM.. never got a call back!! Horrible responsiveness and customer Service!! Not sure how they have so many good reviews! Maybe this was an "off day" but damn!!! Very disappointed. read more

Had a clog in the house main plumbing line , had a different plumber come out to Rod the line . The next 2 days , the problem was worse . So I called a new plumber (Ray, with emergency plumbers ) , he came out on that weekend day. Was very responsive , nice , did rodding again but farther out to sewer , fixed the blockage . Thanks ray read more

Early Sunday morning my only toilet would not flush. It's almost impossible to find a plumber on Sunday. If you do, they charge outrageous fees. Luckily I came across the Good Guys. Dominick came right out & quickly found out it was not an easy fix since it is an old house with very old pipes. The next day a he came out & started the project. Later the rest of the crew came out to help. They worked all day & night finishing the major job. They did a great clean up & was very fair & reasonable. They worked very hard on an extremely tough job in a limited space. If you want a job well done at a fair price, I extremely recommend the Good Guys. read more

I had high hopes for this company after reading the more current reviews. I called for emergency service. My hot water tank burst. Joe called me right away. I explained the situation and he agreed to come out. When he arrived, mask on, he looked at the water shooting from the tank and asked me where the shut offs were located. I had no idea. Joe found them and shut off water to the entire building. "Can't you just shut off the tank that's busted so other people still have running water?" No, because he didn't have pliers and asked if I had any. If I had pliers, I wouldn't have needed to call for emergency service. "Well, don't you have pliers in your truck?" Nope, didn't bring the work truck, didn't bring tools. Although Joe was friendly and arrived promptly, he left me with no water to the building, a tank now draining water instead of shooting out, and a three-figure service fee in his pocket. I talked to the supervisor the next day who agreed to return the check that week. I stopped payment on the check because I never received it. I was hoping I'd found a wonderful local plumbing company. Perhaps they're reliable for everyday plumbing, but for emergency service, not for me. read more

Our basement flooded on a Sunday and after hours of pumping water out, we decided to call a plumber. The first plumber we called did not solve the problem, didn't really try anything creative and didn't come with the right equipment. They also recommended an $11k project to fix it. That's when we called Good Guys and I'm glad we did. It was an emergency situation on a Sunday night. We called them at 8:30pm on a Sunday and Joe was able to come over by 10pm. He asked a lot of questions to help diagnose the issue and came prepared with the right tools. Joe got creative when he initially got stuck with the rod and found a way to pop and clear the obstruction. Good Guys really came through for us when we needed it. They were quick, responsive and honest. I recommend Good Guys if you're in an emergency or if you simply need some maintenance from an honest plumber. Good Guys will be my go-to plumber moving forward. read more

I had a water leak in my water heater needed to be replaced on a Friday night.

Emergency Plumbers Good Guys - Plumbing Near Me

Horrible experience! Shop around this guys are to young to be experienced and know what they are doing. Having trouble with my sewer line clogging. Deal with multiple plumbers and they were not able to fix my issue but not an issue to take my money. Finally dealt with Ray sold me a big project to resolved my issue and a year later I have the same problem. I tried contacting Ray again and he started playing games with me. He would schedule an appointment to meet and just not show. One night he text me at 9pm that he was on his and I waited till midnight and went to bed. Never was I mean to this guys or acted like a Karen to be treated this way. Shop around. This guys are not professional, leave garbage and play games especially Ray. read more

I had a heck of a stressful morning today when I noticed that my toilet started not flushing quite right. Not realizing the extent of the issue, I attempted plunging, which made things much worse, affecting other rooms in the house. There was apparently a serious partial clog going on in my house's plumbing! Thankfully, David from Good Guys was able to come in just a couple hours and make it all right again. He arrived with a mask on (I had mine on, too) which is much appreciated in these pandemic times. He was polite and very helpful. He knew exactly what to do, had all the tools he needed to do the work, and double-checked and tested everything to make sure my plumbing issue was resolved. In just an hour or so, the clog was cleared and our plumbing function restored. On top of the quick and effective service, Dave waived their emergency fee without my even asking about any discounts! These really are good guys!! read more

These guys strung my partner along for 3 days and finally just didn't show up. I find that very unprofessional and rude, and I'm incredulous that a "business" that does this is still operating! When my partner called them on Monday about a hose spout breaking, Joseph responded and said he would come at 5 pm the next day. Then he texted a few hours before the appointment time and asked to come early, then we didn't hear from him until 6 pm, and he said he was about to come to our place. Then when my partner told him the address, he said never mind and that he had the wrong number, and would come the next day at 6 pm. Then, we just never heard from him again! read more

I needed a water heater installed because my tankless water heater was not functioning correctly. So I went with this company because of the yelp reviews and thank you yelpers. The nice thing about this company is their prompt response through yelp and no assessment fee! I was able to speak to Ray (the plumber), via text and show him what my issue was. He, then, was able to come the next day to see what needed to be done and if there was room for a water heater. In addition, we were able to agree on a set price, with no additional/hidden costs. A different company I contacted charged me for the assessment and were charging me $1000 more to do the same service that this company did. The installation of the water heater took two people and both were not only efficient, but courteous and mindful that I had a newborn baby. They wanted to make sure they didn't make too much noise and warned me to go upstairs when there was going to be smoke. Additionally, they wore boot covers, to make sure that they didn't get any dirt in the house. It is so hard to find a good and honest plumber nowadays so look no further. I would definitely recommend the two men that came to my home and this company to anyone who wants to get a water heater installed. Thank you Ray S. and Ray M.! read more

David came and rooted my main line. He was on time, fast, communicative and pleasant. My main line had started to back up and I was getting smelly sewer smell on the outside of my house as well as in some of the bathrooms. David rooted the main line and got out several big roots. It was so much that he is going to have to come back on Friday to complete the job. I give them five stars because they know what they're doing and they explain what they're doingTo the customer at every step of the process. read more

Company was fast, professional and courteous. They responded to my inquiry right away (the quick response feeds into the customer naturally choosing them). They were able to get a technician to my home very quickly, and my plumbing issue (toilet running very slowly) was taken care of quickly. Their rates were also very competitive. I will not hesitate to hire them again. Highly recommend! read more

We had basement flooding in July and called Emergency Plumbers to rod the line. They were unable to rod it and had to use a spear, but found dirt in the line. They believed the line may have been broken, which we later found was diagnosed correctly. However, they recommended we camera the line to be sure and I asked that they come asap. They also said they would provide some recommendations for flood control. I reached out a few times and never again heard back from them. read more

An update from my previous review: the manager Mari was very apologetic for the services rendered to me on the visit on 3/18. They returned my check and were disappointed at the particular individual that came that day. They were willing to send another individual to inspect the problem but our condo association decided to go with another company. +5 stars for the managment as they know how to definitely do some damage control. read more

I had a broken "something" in my bathroom shower for months. I could hear the water running and it was driving me crazy. The thing was dripping forever. I couldn't sleep! Think like Edgar Allen Poe, "Tell Tale Heart" type noise. I looked up on youtube how to fix it and thought to myself, "Hell to Nawww". I looked on my trusty YELP and found these guys (and a hundred others). I went with them because of the reviews and they were available that day! They Came, They Fixed, They Left! They quoted me about fifty bucks higher than another company but overall I am pleased. I am leaving off one star because they did not bring caulk to tighten my faucet back up. Overall great JOB. FYI-check their website for coupons. read more

Do Ray Mi Fa... ck the shower nozzle broke and is spewing water out all over the bathroom! The good news: It wasn't my bathroom. The bad news: Water is spewing over my ma's house and she's not all there and i'm across the country and have a duty to get this fixed ASAP. Luckily I was able to not only find this plumber service but request a quote online. They responded almost instantly and I was able to get on the phone with their customer service and within maybe 15 minutes I had an actual plumber and actual savior on the phone giving me his estimate and ETA. That righteous plumber was Ray M. He was clear, concise, and lucky for me able to communicate with me across the country to get to my ma's, to home depot to get the emergency part, and get back to have everything fixed that same day. Because it was during 'emergency hours' (after 6pm) there was a $185 fee to get a plumber to the door but when your walk is thrusting water all over your house, that's a drop in the bucket... or bathtub, in this case. Ray was wonderful in dealing with my mom and made calls with me throughout his services to let me know his eta, what was needed from home depot before they closed, and when the work was finished. Not only was he great with call updates but he switched to text the later it got, which I appreciated after an already crazy day handling "renovations" both in illinois and California. A zillion stars for Ray M with these plumbers and happy to have his info in my proverbial pocket for some upcoming renovations needed on my mom's dwelling. And I don't know exactly what he did but my mom said he was sooo nice and after he finished she and my perpetually feuding brother were in decent enough spirits to go get dinner together. unheard of. But all the cheers and thanks to Ray for being a good guy and fixing a good chunk of my domestic problems today. read more

Okay..seriously. This. Is. The. Place. To. Call!! Beginning with a quote request from Mari G. (VERY responsive), to David coming out to fix what another plummer dropped the ball on and didn't finish - these are the plummers you want. I can't stress their quality of service, attention to detail, fair/honest job bid, and finally just great advice on upkeep/preventative care enough... they're the real deal! David IS the man, and if he's an example of their other employee's demeanor/expertise - Holy cow Batman - what a company! David not only took time to explain what he thought could be the problem, he went full steam ahead to do his research, check things out, and used his reasoning to deduce our plumbing problem. After analyzing, he took out the problem parts, immediately showed them to me, explained the issues, had to get the new parts, quickly came back, then showed the new part/explained why they'd work! REALLY!! Before David left, he also told me other services they offer. Come to find out they do rodding of main pipe/catch basins too. I'm calling them back for more work, for sure!! read more

Great job, fixed the clog in my kitchen. Will use again in the future if needed! Quick arrival and good communication throughout.

Started out rocky but Dominic knew what he was doing! Very proficient and recognized the problem right away. He even was able to identify problems no one else recognized. He did an excellent job in no time. Thanks!! read more

They came over right away to unclog my toilet 2 weeks ago, and I started singing their praises. However, 2 weeks later I'm having the same issue that I'd thought was repaired already, and now they aren't returning my phone calls (but they're open 24/7?). Not feeling very happy with this company currently :( read more

These guys were great to work with. We discovered late at night a leak coming through our kitchen ceiling. These guys came out the next day (on a Sunday) to inspect it, and were the only company not charging an emergency fee to come out. Ray quickly diagnosed the problem and explained what was needed to be done. He came back the next morning and finished the work in a matter of hours. The final price came out a bit in excess of the initial quote, but they did a thorough job and some extra work that was needed. Throughout the process, Ray was easy to communicate with and very knowledgeable in his explanations of the issue. I highly recommend working with them. read more

I really wanted to like these guys. I called yesterday (Friday) around 5PM for leaky basement drain. I was so happy when the guy said he'd stop by same day after a Westchester call. So I waited. At almost 9PM, I called the guy and asked if he was still coming because I had to drive out to the city to pick up a relative. He apologized and said the Westchester job took longer than expected. No big deal. I understood, it happens. He asked if he could still come out same night, and at that point, I couldn't postpone picking up my relative, so I asked if I could reschedule for the next day. He kind of hemmed and hawed, but eventually said he could stop by or send someone out for us tomorrow (which is now today, 5/15) between 5-6PM. It's 5:10PM now.. I called them just to confirm if they were still coming so I wouldn't waste my day again... But nothing. No response. No call back. No heads up. Unfortunately, I trusted them to keep their word on coming today, so I can't get ahold of any other plumbing company today on a Saturday afternoon and I'm stuck with a leaky drain absolutely ruining my family room carpet until Monday at minimum. I guess that's what I get for trusting a "Good Guy". Thanks! read more

These guys were so great to work with. I had a leak in my fridge and they were able to quickly come solve the problem. I'd definitely recommend and use them again for any plumbing issues! read more

Dave did an excellent job replacing my parents garbage disposal. They are very happy with the work and inexpensive price. They are now our go to plumbers read more

Excellent value for the work. We were very pleased with the job they did. They were also accommodating and professional

I called and was hung up on initially by Erin at their call center because I would not give my house address till I spoke to someone about a quote (I had other plumbers randomly showing up when they felt like it, not okay), I called back and got someone else who connected me to a manager. The manager was extremely professional. He came within 2 hours and put a new hot water heater in. His prices were great and work was excellent! I would recommend him to anyone and I already did to a lot of my coworkers and friends! If you get rude service at the call center, call back and ask for a manager (Ray). Do not let it reflect on the plumbers work. read more

I called this company at midnight, due to a totally clogged tub and to my surprise, I received a response via email within a half an hour. A plumber was sent out the next morning, Ray M. He was very knowledgeable, as well as very pleasant. He explained the problem which he found very quickly, and immediately set to work. It was not a simple clog and took over 30 minutes of high-pressure rodding to clear. He also inspected some other issues with the hot water heater and the catch basin. I am glad that I called this company and will not hesitate to use them again. read more
