    Before. Work done by kitchen contractor. To be clear, this was NOT work done by First Chicago Plumbing, this is what they fixed.
    Paulina S.

    Just finished my appointment with First Chicago Plumbing, and after the disasters I have been dealing with from other contractors I've used, I felt compelled to leave this review on a business that does things right. Eugene was quick to respond and very professional over email. Scheduling an appointment was easy and they were able to make it out the same week. Jorge and Sergio (I believe that was his name) were the ones on site. They were nice and explained everything to me. There was some work that was up in the air on whether it needed to be done, and ultimately they were able to get the job done without the additional work. The biggest part of my work was correcting a disposal hook up my contractor horribly botched during my kitchen renovation. They were able to correct everything and hook it up correctly. It looks SO much better (see before and after pictures attached). Everything was cleaned up and then tested in front of me to make sure it worked. I thought the price was fair and very close to the quote I received. It's the city, so if you want good work you can't cheap out (as I've learned the hard way). Ultimately I was just happy to have actual licensed professionals who knew what they were doing. I'll definitely use these guys again and keep them on my speed-dial for any future plumbing needs!

    Finished with new trap with proper placement.

    We hired J Sewer & Drain to install a new catch basin in September 2025 after the wall of our old…read moreone collapsed. The quoting process and installation initially went smoothly. A couple of weeks later, we noticed the soil around the catch basin beginning to sink. Over time, the settling worsened to the point where part of the catch basin wall and some of our foundation became visible, which was understandably concerning. Communication was slow at first, and it took some persistence to get follow-up. Eventually, J Sewer & Drain did come out to inspect the catch basin. After their evaluation, they indicated that the installation itself appears to be sound and that the settling is likely due to soil compaction issues rather than a structural problem with the basin. Since the inspection, things seem to be stable and okay. While the situation was stressful and the communication gap was frustrating, I do appreciate that they ultimately came out to assess the issue and explain their findings. Thank you!

We've had a kitchen line full of grease for awhile now and finally decided to clear it due to water not going down anymore, the day after turkey day(imagine the dishes). Called J sewer and they showed up a few hours later to hydrojet the pipe and clear it. Took about 1.5 hours. I am going to be honest, the price shouldve been about 200 bucks cheaper than it was, but no biggie. It wouldve cost nearly triple the amount had i replaced the pipe. For insight, i was told 975 to jet for 1.5 hours and 275 for each additional hour. Plumber showed up at 3:15pm and they were done before 4:45(packing up took about ten min). There are cameras on my entire property so I doublechecked the time and yeah it was def not 1.5 hours.. I was still charged an additional 200 dollars. Another thing I wouldve liked is if they doublechecked the pipes after with a camera, Ive had hydrojetting performed at another property before so the process this time was a little different.. All in all, they did do a good job and cleared the pipe. I am a little salty about the extra 200 but no big deal, which is why I gave 4 stars. Id say, use them for bigger jobs. Smaller jobs you may want to find an independent plumber as they have much less overhead. Just my two cents.

    I just had Nick come out to troubleshoot a water heater repair caused by a leak from a saddle valve…read moreabove my furnace heading to my furnace humidifier causing the pilot light to go out to to the pooling water and moisture at the base of the unit. The service team was able to fit me in same day by putting me on standby. Nick was able to diagnose, stop the leak, inspect that the leak had done no further damage, and ultimately get the water heater working within 5 minutes of his arrival. Better yet, he said it was a simple fix and did not charge me, but just asked that I keep them at the top of my list for my next job! Very friendly and presentable all the way. He also assessed my heater and said I probably had about another two years to go before needing to replace, and gave me a written quote for a new water heater and to replace the saddle valve with an angle stop. The angle stop cost was a bit high, but the water heater replacement was very reasonable (just being fair). I am definitely going to reach out to them for my next plumbing job.

Every technician I've worked with has been knowledgeable, competent, and genuinely trustworthy -- which is rare these days. I'll be honest: I was a little nervous at first because I kept reaching their emergency line over the weekend and holidays, and I wondered if they might be getting too big. But after this visit, I realized it's probably just because they're that in demand -- and I see why. They even honored a coupon I sent 30 minutes after I paid, which they absolutely didn't have to do. That level of integrity means a lot. I truly hope the owner takes great care of this team -- they deserve it. I trust this company's name completely, even with so many other 5-star plumbing companies out there. This one stands above the rest.
