Mike is a straightforward and professional individual. When I called him to repair my leaky faucet, he provided me with an up-front quote. He kept me informed of his arrival. It turned out that replacing our bathroom faucet was not an easy task. As a result of his efficiency and expertise, he was able to diagnose the problem and take the necessary steps to resolve it. I received clear communication throughout the process, and he answered any questions I had. P.S. He's not only a kind and humble person, but after a stressful job, his funny side truly shines. He made my husband and me laugh so hard! Thank you, Mike. All the best wishes for your new life/family adventures. read more

Mike is nice, honest and reliable - a straight shooter. Very easy to talk to. I called him on Wednesday and he was here Thursday to replace a kitchen faucet, fix a leaky toilet, and do three other tasks I could do myself but kept putting off. He asked me to name a price, and he was happy with what I chose. The next day something else went wrong with the same toilet. Different problem, so I offered him more, and he wouldn't take it. Everything's running beautifully. Why did I wait so long to call him? read more

Mike helped us with a clogged toilet (twice!). In December we had a clog and within an hour of calling Mike he was at my door. The same toilet clogged today (January) and he was able to stop on the way to another job to unclog. He inspected the toiled and said it was flushing as it should, and offered tips to prevent further issues. He didn't try to upsell a big job as it wasn't needed, which is truly appreciated with home repairs. I'd recommend Mike to anyone in need of plumbing services. read more

Mike is incredible! He was able to squeeze me in same day, as I had a slow-draining kitchen sink. He has strong communication, is reliable and kind. This is someone who you know you can trust to do great work and be transparent. Now, my kitchen sink is running smoothly. Fair pricing as well- especially compared to the big brand names. Thank you, Mike! read more

Mike is the best. He has done plumbing for me. He has helped me find the right plumber for plumbing jobs which he just wasn't the best option for the project. He has consulted by phone when he was already booked solid with jobs and simply couldn't help me in person. Has helped with everything from small replacement of a junk saddle valve to pipe rodding out to sewer to consulting on hydro jetting work. He's a one man operation and he is THE BEST at what he does which is far more than just plumbing. read more

He took the time to refer me to someone who could help when he learned my requests were more handyman-related.

Mike fixed an outside spigot for us. Wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommend! So glad to find a true professional.

See all

Believe the reviews! Mike is responsive and allowed us to send a video for diagnosis. Our garbage disposal was jammed and had to be replaced. He gave a fair price and was able to offer same day service. No gimmicks on prices! One plumber quoted a less expensive price but when I mentioned our west loop location they wanted an additional $95. Mike's price is aligned with local estimates and he is thorough. Great quality fair price who could ask for more? read more

Mike was great. He came out and helped with a slow draining bath tub drain and then taught me how to prevent clogs from happening in the future.

I never felt rushed or that I wasn't a priority. I got a sense of his experience, knowledge and work ethic. I'm definitely adding him to my contacts to call in the future. read more

I can't recommend Mike the Plumber enough. I had a kitchen sink which was slow and not getting better despite Draino. It was beginning to become a problem as it backed up every time the sink was used and would take hours to drain. I finally decided to find someone to get to the root of the issue. After seeing Mike's great reviews, I decided to call. He was quick to respond and was able to come the next day to evaluate the problem. He is incredibly professional and respectful. He was also able to diagnose the problem and solve it. I also appreciated how he was patient in explaining the issue to my elderly mother so that she could understand. Thank you, Mike the Plumber. If anyone is on the fence about this company, just call him! I know that we will be using him for all our plumbing needs. read more

Mike was able to come back on short notice and addressed a small issue with a loose faucet after the initial install. He also helped with another loose faucet that he did not service previously.

He responded to my inquiry within 30 minutes and scheduled a visit for the next day. He was on time, communicated well, and got the job done quickly and was so kind and friendly. The price was very reasonable and he takes Venmo! Such a great guy and I will absolutely be calling him for future projects. Thank you Mike! read more

I reached out to Mike this morning and sorted the reviews by distance. I was thinking I want to solicit a small/one man show business and I'm glad I chose Mike. He was responsive, flexible around my kids sleep schedule, fixed the seal in my toilet and didn't charge me! I still asked for his Venmo to throw him something. His ask was to reach out for bigger problems! I sure will and highly recommend Mike!! read more

What an unbelievably pleasant person! Mike couldn't help me with my particular repair need but gave me recommendations for 2 other professionals that can help. He also offered to facetime with me for future consultations or future DIY projects to save money as I'm a landlord (and I do need to learn how to repair easy things myself). I've worked with tons of plumbers in the past and decided not to work with some based on the first conversation. Should I have a need for a plumber in the future, I'll be calling Mike! I'll also be recommending him to my friends. read more

So happy we called Mike for our plumbing issue. Very quick response and fixed our problem in no time. Will definitely call him for any future plumbing needs. read more

Hands down the best plumber in Chicago. Mike was incredible. He showed up within a few minutes of me calling him (he happened to be in my neighborhood). He quickly solved my problem (our kitchen drain was clogged/frozen). He was very fair, incredibly professional, and knowledgeable. If you're looking for a plumber, stop searching and just call Mike. If he can't help, he'll recommend someone that is as high quality as he is. Thank you Mike! read more

Mike was on time and completed the job quickly. He was very efficient and cleaned after himself.

Mike is the real deal. Responsive, honest, skillful, and quick. He gives great advice, encourages you to do only the work you need and in our case do it well. He inspected our master shut off valve and installed a new shower head and spigot and changed the shower cartridge. I am beyond pleased with his work. Will keep this number as my only contact for when I need a plumber. read more

Hi, I reached out to Mike for a plumbing issue with our apartment in high rise and he mentioned that he does not work in high rise. But he gave me suggestions to resolve the issue and recommended also a place where I can get the hand shower materials.

I have used Mike twice so far and he has been prompt, professional and accommodating.

Had a leaking toilet seal and later found out that there actually was a hairline crack in the toilet itself. Mike was extremely patient and pointed out what was happening and came back with a new replacement toilet. Mike was extremely organized and left everything spotless! read more

Mike the plumber has an amazing work ethic. Our toilet and shower were not working properly. He came out the next day to help us. He diagnosed it as a bigger problem and referred us to Hydro-man. Mike wouldn't accept money because he said he didn't fix our problem. So appreciate what he did and for that we will for sure be using him again. read more

Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to do great work at our building. The two floors are now flowing with much better pressure than before which saves us from replacing those much older pipes. We may eventually need to to that. Thanks for charging us a fair price for doing this including other work that was asked of you. Best to get Mike a call during normal business hours since he is 'swamped' or has had lots of work during the past several months. Hope to see you soon on the next problem that we have. read more

Mike was super helfpul and communicative. I reached out with a very simple issue and he talked me through how to look into things myself, when inevitably I messed up, he was able to come on site and fix quickly. Reasonably priced and incredibly kind! Definitely will be reaching out with any future issues. read more

I dropped a bowl into the sink and glass got into the garbage disposal. Whomp whomp. We thought we had gotten all the pieces out but we hadn't and the disposal stopped working. I called Mike based on the high yelp reviews. We live in the south loop and are out of his coverage area, but he gave instructions on how to clear out the garbage disposal over the phone and my husband was able to get it working again! If you are in or near Evanston, give Mike a call for any plumbing needs. read more

While there was nothing that needed immediate repair, I will be calling on Mike in the future as his honesty and straightforward approach makes him easy to deal with. read more

We got Mike the Plumber's contact info from a friend. Our toilet caused damage to the unit's ceiling below us. We called Mike and he came our, assessed the situation, and replaced the wax ring underneath our toilet (something we hadn't done since 2008)! Since then we've had a kitchen sink faucet replaced, and today a cartridge in our tub faucet replaced to stop an incessant drip. No upselling, no "can you write a good review for me on Yelp", no astronomical amounts of money to fix our problems, no "I have to charge to come out to assess the problem". And he takes off his shoes when he comes to your house. He is good people, and he has done a great job each time he comes! Really hesitant to share his number with friends (even though our friend did), because we want to keep him to ourselves. He is THAT awesome! Thank you Mike for everything you've ever done for us! read more

Mike was very professional and honest. He works by himself and cast iron is very heavy. He was kind enough to refer us to a larger company that has more staff. Based on his honesty and assistance, I would definitely recommend him and consider him for additional projects. read more

I've had multiple plumbers come out to evaluate a valve replacement project and they all provided me high estimates. Mike came out and was able to address the valves without needing to replace them. He saved me a lot of $$$ and also provided his feedback on other plumbing issues, which in turn saved me more money in the future. read more
