I called in the morning and informed them water was coming from under my sink. It seemed to be a faucet issue. They were at the house by 3:00. It was a broken clip of some sort. Jason fixed it quickly and only charged $75. I finally found an honest plumber. Jason was very pleasant and professional. They will be our plumbers going forward. Thanks for all your help.

M&E did all of the plumbing additions and rework for a kitchen and laundry room remodel we've been working on for the past month or so. This included moving existing bathroom plumbing coming down from our upstairs level and adding a utility sink/plumbing to our laundry room. They did a great job. Chris and Matt were punctual, efficient and thorough. We would recommend them to anyone else in need of a professional plumbing company in the area. read more

Excellent job! Thanks so much for the quick response to my flooded basement. Replacing the sub-pump & battery back up. I will continue to use M&E plumbing for all my future needs. read more

It's hard to find a good plumber that's reliable. I found a great one with Matt and M & E Plumbing. Showed up when they said they would and were extremely knowledgeable and talented. They did great work. I would use them again 100%. Thank you Matt. read more

Requested a service through AHA for an issue I described over the phone. Took 4 days to come out and charged me for an issue they never fixed. I eventually fixed the issue myself and it took less than 30 minutes. If you have a plumbing issue I recommend Kevin Szabo Plumbing they are phenomenal and very prompt. I wish AHA would have sent them instead. read more

I reached out to M&E Plumbing Service for a problem with a water heater. I didn't know the exact issue that's the water heater had so I explained as best as I could to the technician. They explained to me the actual problem and also gave me some recommendations of what to do. I know plumbing services can be expensive so we reached out to several plumbing companies and M&E. They were the easiest ones to work with. They were able to schedule me within less than a week to have a technician come and fully examine the problem. I felt like I was not ripped off and was treated very honestly. I hope I would not have any other plumbing issues but if I do I know who to call. It was a seamless process working with them from start to finish. I appreciate the hard work they put in! read more

M & E Plumbing Service - Water heater fixing - Plumbing Near Me

We have had M$E Plumbing to our house a lot lately. Recently, they fixed a leaking pipe under our kitchen sink. A garbage disposal and they just replaced our sump pump. They are very professional, reliable and are excellent at what the do. Affordable and efficient too. You can't ask for more because they got it! All problems were resolved. Definitely will be keeping their # on speed dial. read more

Our 8 year-old water heater sprung a leak so we contacted our home warranty service and they referred us to M & E. Things started out fine. Matt answered the call quickly and came out in a timely manner. His technicians arrived a few days later as scheduled but the heater was damaged yet they installed it. I came home at 9:00pm this evening to inspect their work. There are 2 dents in the unit (which they bought at Home Depot). I am not happy about this and have contacted our home warranty provider as well as M & E to see how they will correct this situation. Update 5/21/2019: It seems I was too quick to judge. I have been in contact with Matt since this morning and he is working to correct the situation. He has remained courteous and professional throughout this issue. He is actually coming to the house tomorrow to look at the heater and work on a solution with the manufacturer. read more

See all

Darrell and Chris were fantastic. Knowledge, pleasant, easy to work with and efficient. They took care of of my disposal problem very quickly and saved me a couple hundred dollars in the process. I would rightly recommend. read more

Had a small leak from my upstairs shower faucet that was was dripping water from my light fixture in my downstairs bathroom. Talked to Matt and set up an appointment with Darrell Goble to come out and take a look. Darrell arrived on time, super friendly, and informative. I know nothing about plumbing and Darrell was able to explain the issue and what he was going to do to fix it. The repair took less than an hour and then we tested the fix and no more issue. I would highly recommend this company and Darrell as well!! Thanks so much M&E plumbing!! read more

They have done very good job here! Absolutely 5+ star for them for Darrell and Chris especially. Actually we got to know them from our warranty company but I should say we are so lucky. The house we bought are very old and the iron sewer pipe was leaky due to rust and at the beginning we were given another plumbing company which did not respond quickly and everything started to get worse. So we were reassigned to M$E. Darrell and Chris arrived on time as per schedule and they checked everything carefully and efficiently, in the end they came up with a very smart solution to just break 12x12 drywall instead of breaking the ceiling of basement as suggested by the previous plumbing. I think this comes from the rich experience!! Also Darrell is very good at communication. He knows what we are expecting as clients. He explained everything beforehand and communicated thoroughly with warranty company about the wall damage cost because of the repair. The second time they came over is to fix the pipes. They got everything they needed and fixed effectively. They tested and checked to see if there was any other leakage and they even did cleanup. Absolutely BIG THUMB!!! read more

I had a leak in my kitchen ceiling and called a plumber. They came out the next day, but did not find the problem, and to be honest, didn't really look that hard. When things got worse, M&E plumbing came out. They were punctual, in fact, a bit early, which was nice and Darryl was super nice and very efficient. He found the problem within minutes, and had the leak fixed just as quickly. He even replaced my shower head. He was in and out in under an hour and life is good again. I would recommend M&E to anyone and will definitely call them first the next time I need a plumber! read more

Had to replace 2 cracked hosebibs. They came in and were courteous, accommodating, quick and reasonably priced. Did a stellar job. Will be going back to them for any future plumbing needs. Thanks guys!! read more

Got connected through HWA for a leaking water heater. Mike was very responsible and helpful in the process. Darrell was fantastic, very friendly and knowledgeable. Replaced the water heater professionally. Best experience we've had with an HWA contractor. Will use them again. read more

I used M&E a second time - for my mother's home. I was not as impressed the second time around. The work was farmed out to someone else who ask my mother for old towels due to the mess. Additionally, the old smelly pipe from the kitchen sink was left in her crawl space for me to remove at some later date. In the end, the work was finished and the drain issue was solved. But M&E took a step back in my opinion. John read more

Quick response and was honest about what needed done. It was a small job, but will definitely call Matt for future plumbing needs. We feel it's important to support local small independent contractors. read more

He came out and in less than 5 minutes determined my issue and the inexpensive fix. I had been quoted $5500 by another firm for work that would not have fixed my problem. Honest! read more

Update 5/15/18 - Darrell replaced another hose bib for us today. He's done several jobs here in last two years. We still continue to call M&E for all our issues. They continue to do great work! (See previous reviews, all 5 stars) read more

They fixed my main water shut off valve as well as 4 other valves in my rental house. Everything was done in under an hour. Very satisfied with the job. read more

I got connected to M&E through our house warranty company. Darrell and Chris were courteous, experienced, and on time. They were quick in their assessment and fix of a leaky ceiling pipe. They were able to use a narrow opening in the ceiling to get to the pipe and fix the issue. They tested the fix afterwards. They were also a pleasure to talk to and chit chat with. I would use and recommend their services again. read more

My water heater needed replacement as it developed leak from bottom. On the second day of call, Matt from company stopped by to check on it. Replacement could not be done any sooner than 2 days later due to their busy schedule. Darrel and his assistant performed replacement. The work quality is good. Suggestion - As a plumber and people dealing with water, it is expected that they carry rug or something with water soaking ability. They did not had any of those. I had to use my towels to soak water during replacement. For the service, I would hire them again. But they better show up with soaking tool/cloth! :) ;) read more

Mediocre service. Tech seemed lazy. Had them out for a small flood took a long time for the rep to find the issue then said he solved it by snaking a little bit but had to call another company less than a month later because there were tree roots growing all through our pipe that M&E didn't notice or try to actually remedy. Would not recommend read more

Prompt service call, a very fair service fee and meticulous with the job at hand (fix leaky faucet and install new faucet for the kitchen sink). Would use M&E again for sure. read more

We had two separate issues that needed servicing. One was a clogged kitchen sink pipe handled through the warranty company. The other was a water softener replacement. We used M & E for both of these...I had interactions with the owner and two of the techs. ALL involved were great -- arrived on-time / within the window, professional, responsive, fair, and got the work done as promised. Prices were reasonable, and work was done in a timely manner. Great to do business with -- without a doubt, will call them first for any future plumbing needs. read more

Darrell is a lifesaver!! We have a full house of 4 boys (and a hardworking husband). He was able to come out and assess that our water heater had busted sooner than anticipated, and we had a new one installed within 24 hours! He was professional, quick and kind. Even gave me a great tip on getting cleaner dishes from my dishwasher! Thank you so much! read more

Good work, fair prices, on time appointments, courteous and clean staff, through cleanup and sensitive to my home; what more could one want? I used them to replace a kitchen sink faucet, to repair one toilet and replace one other. I wanted to install a Consumer Reports "Best Buy" toilet. My senior budget doesn't allow for a extra charges so I wanted to avoid a delivery charge for the heavy toilet. I found my toilet for sale at Home Depot. Home Depot unboxed the toilet, wrapped it's pieces in the heavy bath towels I provided, put it in my car and I seat belted it in place. The next morning M & E Plumbing workers unpacked the toilet from my car and carried it inside my home. At my request they gave me a few minutes to clean the floor under where the old toilet stood. When they were finished the workers put the old toilet in a black heavy duty trash bag and put it at the curb for trash pick up the next day. I will use M & E Plumbing the next time I need a plumber! read more

After receiving a very well communicated, quick and reasonable quotation from Matt, we made an appointment to have a faulty garbage disposal replaced at our home. Darrell and Chris replaced and removed the old disposal, and did it quickly, efficiently, and professionally! We could not have asked for better service! It was top-of-the-line in every respect. M&E Plumbing Service truly deserves our top rating! read more

Had water coming from the area of the hot water heater they replaced in 2015. Matt called right back and was here within a couple hours. Traced it to a bad ejector pump which he replaced. Matt was very personable and easy to talk with. He was very knowledgeable. His prices are very fair, and once again, he made sure everything was cleaned up. read more

Fast to respond to our clogged drain, he was here in about an hour, professional, friendly and reasonable priced. The previous owners of our house had poured alot of grease down the drain and he power rooted and had it cleaned out in a jiffy. read more

I had a leaking bathroom to fix which Home Warranty sent this agency. Technicians Darrell and Chris came in and replaced the toilet wax ring in 15 mins, despite us repeatedly telling that the evidence of leak was seen on the kitchen ceiling (which is right below the bathroom) from usage of even the bathtub, shower and sink. While all signs pointed to an issue with the outlet pipes they said I have to create the access myself and identify the issue and they'd then come in and fix it. they told me that was an Warranty clause; so next day I had my handyman cut open the ceiling and ran a bunch of tests to figure out what happened and voila ... there was a leak in the hub(the T like join) in the outlet pvc pipes. So I call warranty again and they send back the same guys. I explained my diagnosis to them and they agreed. They called warranty and explained the issue, took a bunch of pictures etc. We asked them repeatedly if there is anything else that they want me to be ready with so that they can just come in the next day and fix the issues. They obviously said No.. they were good to go. Finally they told me that their office would call me and set up a time to come fix it. Next day their office sets up time after 2 days which is a Friday. I took a day off on the Friday to make sure everything is fixed in my presence, because I was already getting doubtful of their skill. They turn up on Friday and after spreading the dropclothes, first thing they tell me is that they need to remove the toilet seat and cut open a hole in the wall behind. I said okay go ahead. They say, to remove the seta and put it back we'd charge you $125 and wall we wont even touch, you need to have it cut yourself. I couldnot believe what I just heard. And when I remind them of our earlier conversations and the assurance of having everything in place Darrelll pretended total ignorance. And started collecting his dropclothes and other stuff saying he'll come tell me the next plan. The guys went back into their van and kept making calls from their sitting in my driveway for 5 mins while I waited. And to my utter disbelief I see them driving off 5 mins later. And here I was sittign at home with a open kitchen ceiling and loss of pay for a day. I have never seen any business do this when they can't have their way in squeezing some extra money out of the clients at the last minute. I started calling their office and the office guy called Matt, I guess he is the main coordinator or something ...tells me that they have decided to not complete the job and that I must talk to the warranty to figure the next step or basically call someone else. I explained the situation to warranty, they suggested that I call the plumbers again next week. Which I did and this time Matt told me that today 2/9 Friday they'd come and fix the leak. Today I took a day off again. But nobody turned up within the window provided. I called them and the same guy Matt gives tells me they wont service my house and hung up. Dealing with them have cost me crucial time, unnecessary headache, 2 days pay and lots of agony. I hope you don't have to go through this yourself. Save yourself time and money and stay away. Not worth it !! read more

Was referred to M&E by HomeWarranty. Matt called within two minutes of getting off the phone with the warranty company and was at my house within 1 hour of the phone call. He was professional, courteous and easy to work with. Will use him for all future plumbing needs! read more

This company gets the job done and is very efficient I called on Sunday afternoon and they showed up on Monday to fix our leak now that is what you call service great job read more

After being hired by my Home wrnty company, Matt came to my home, stayed for about 5 minutes + told me I needed a new Ejector Pump for $700-$800. Matt then charged me a $75 fee for his "work" and left. I rec'v a second opinion from another licensed company, which came out later that day (7-19-16) and they laughed at Matt's reccomendation. They showed me with a camera the reason for my basement flooded with fecal and waste water, a cracked drain tile. The plumber said that there was NO reason for Matt to believe that the ejector pump was bad, and that any licensed plumber would have known this, stating in his words that it is "plumbing 101." I ended up buying a $300 pump before the 2nd plumber came to my home, based off of Matt's reccomendation (a pump that I did not need as my original pump worked just fine). I called Matt back, confronted him with this information, and advised him that I would be filing a complaint with the wrnty company. Matt's voice became timid and apologetic, but it was too late for me. He was so frightened that he offered me my money back, to which I declined. Matt lied about work due. It appears that Matt wanted to make a quick buck, and gave NO due dillegence to his work. Contractors like M & E Plumbing cost families more money and end up hurting people with limited budgets, who place their faith in a licensed company, only to end up being lied to. It is for this reason that I am also filing a complaint with the Illinois Atty General, and the IDFPR. After describing my encounter and providing proof of documentation from both Matt and the good company, the home wrnty company agreed with me and decided to file a complaint against M & E Plumbing as well, and also banned them from Home Warranty of America for good. PLEASE, if you care about your home like I do and do not want to be lied to or misguided, DO NOT HIRE M & E PLUMBING. read more

I'm in a rental house while I build so I am not in charge of who comes in. These guys have come in for two different major repairs. They left it a total mess each time. They didn't throw out anything even though there was a large trash right outside. They went through a full roll of paper towels each time they were here and when I was not home for this past repair to bring them more paper towels they ruined three good hand towels. There are black smears all over the kitchen and trash and gunk was left under the sink. A good plumber cleans up after themselves. What plumber grabs a $6 towel to use as a rag instead of buying freaking paper towels? As for the actual work...when the shower drains there isn't air behind the line and makes the toilet gurgle. I haven't been home long enough to test the kitchen sink but they didn't bother hooking the dishwasher back up. read more

I've had Matt or one of his guys here at least 4 times that I can remember (maybe 1-2 more over the past few years). Lots of plumbing issues, including fixing a horrificly installed water heater from another local plumbing company with "good reviews" (who shall remain nameless). Matt is great at communication, punctual, the pricing was always fair and transparent, and he and his guys exceeded all expectations. I call M&E first whenever I need plumbing and I always recommend them to friends and family. read more

I had been researching replacing my hot water heater and started got by getting an outrageous price quote from one the plumbing companies that advertises on the radio every day around here. Hint: they do more than just plumbing. Yesterday morning I called a different plumbing outfit that was rated by Home Advisor as one of the best in my area. No return call. Called in the early afternoon again went to voicemail no return call. In the end never called me so I'll never call them again. I then called my second choice M&E. Got ahold of I believe the owner right away. Explained my 9 year old water heater was on the fritz but asked if they could look at it instead of replace. He said sure but in the end I felt it best after speaking with him it would be in my best interest to replace but he said he would not high pressure me into a new one he would do what I wanted to have done. Refreshing! He gave me a very good price on the phone (I know the acceptable range for a typical install) and that was the price I paid in the end. My luck continued as they had a late cancellation yesterday so I was the first appointment today. Guys were here promptly at 7:30am even during an ice storm! I was told (by the owner?) they would be here between 7-7:30am. Darrell one of two installers called me at 7:25am saying they were running late due to the storm and would be here at 7:30am. WOW. That's customer service and he was not late at all. The two of them knocked out the job in 60 minutes, very professionally done by both of them, did not leave a mess. Outstanding. I plan to have them look at another project of mine in the near future. Thank you M&E! read more
