    This was cleaned day AFTER their $850 cleaning
    Natalia T.

    This is not a reputable company. It's a total scam. I found them due to great reviews but it looks like most reviews are several years old and this company changed . I called them when my basement toilet had water on the floor. Unfortunately these guys were available sooner and I went with them. Turns out they send some subcontractors/ some guys to your home having no idea who they are. They sent to me a 20 y old guy having no proper equipment or expertise. He had no idea what he was doing . He charged $850 for rooting the main drain only(usually $200-$350). And the total bill was well over 1000. He didn't even have camera. When I called them they said they were sending "a crew with camera" but this guy didn't have it. And he was alone and inexperienced . I had to hire another company next day because this dude made the problem worse and toilet began to backing out all sewage from the house after he left! He tried to clear a clog going through a toilet and making 4 turns while another company said he should have accessed it from another drain pipe that was accessible right there . The other company (Mudden Sewer) changed $350 for rooting main drain again WITH CAMERA and diagnosed all my drainage WITH CAMERAS. They also properly cleaned a lot more debris and managed to stop my downstairs toilet from backing up right away. Mudden specialist said : "never heard of this company" and "He didn't know what he was doing, maybe that's their "first year" in Chicago?" Update: the company tried to contact me on YELP to disclose my identity to them so they can continue to harass me. I already told them the day after their service that I wasted over $1000 paying them and that all the work was redone by a reputable company. They offered no refunds. Now these Alina contacts me asking questions to be able to find out "invoice number" to locate where I live .. No thanks. You didn't offer a refund and I don't want your services again.

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

    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.

    See all

    When I did hear back they said they wouldn't be able to come by for six days. Couldn't go a week without water.

    I apologize for the incorrect post. The company did respond but could not do the job I requested. They did recommend others. Thank you

    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!

He was also able to answer all of my questions thoroughly. He moved quickly and did not need any of my help. In total, fixing and replacing the p-trap under my kitchen sink ended up being a little over $300 which is fine because he tested it multiple times including with the garbage disposal running.
