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

We had an issue with a slow drain. I'm glad I called Mike! He has great communication skills and fixed the issue for a fair price the same day. Thank you Mike! read more

Mike was able to come out on short notice to assess a potential issue with my bathroom sink and toilet. After running a few tests, he was able to point out several items to monitor going forward. 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

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

Discovered copper pipe bursts from winter freeze (two places). Called Mike because he had exceptional reviews (all "5's" for over 50 reviews). I can see why. He was knowledgeable, pleasant to deal with and understand and did a competent professional "fix" while being on time for our scheduled appointment. As a senior my dollars and pennies are important. He did the work at a very reasonable cost compared to another plumbing company I had worked with before, but never again. Mike is gold. I can't recommend him highly enough. Oh, and he obviously cared enough to make sure I was satisfied with his work. You can't go wrong with this gentleman. read more

Mike THE Plumber is THE man! He repaired the sump pump fast, right and at an affordable price. Very friendly too.

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 highly recommend Mike! He came out yesterday to assess and fix a leaky pipe and he was honest and kind and straightforward. He did the work the same day and charged a fair price and worked efficiently. We will definitely be a customer of his in the future! read more

Fast Service, an asset to the industry. Very honest and reasonable fees. He maintains excellent communication. Finally an honest and dependable tradesman to work with. Will give reference to all my friends. Great guy. read more

My garbage disposal suddenly stopped working and Mike helped my diagnosis and fix the issue over the phone instead of coming out and charging me. I really appreciated that, it's not always easy to find good guys in the trade but this is clearly a good guy. Will definitely use him for plumbing projects/issues in the future. read more

My garbage disposal stopped working. I put out request on yelp. He was the first to respond. He was able to come the same day I called. HHe had a new disposal on his truck so this simplified replacement. His price 575 was reasonable. I suggest using him. read more

Mike is the best, was able to fit me in on an emergency call. Got to the bottom of the issue in under an hour. Great communication and an honest stand up guy. This is your plumber if you are in or around Chicago! read more

Mike stands by his work. There was a defect in a faucet. Mike replaced it with an improved one for free. He did a wonderful job installing it. Highly recommend Mike. read more

The faucet in my laundry room wasn't shutting off. I reached out to a couple different plumbers who were recommended to me and they never responded. A friend recommended Mike and he got back to me right away, made an appointment that was convenient for me, showed up, and did an amazing job. The price was right, the job was well done, and he is just a really nice guy. Highly recommend. read more

I reached out to Mike this morning about a drainage issue, and before setting a time to come out, he asked me whether I'd tried a specific fix. I hadn't, and after doing what he suggested, the problem was solved! Mike mentioned that he normally tries to help DIYers fix their own problems first, and based on my own experience and the many other 5-star reviews, he's helped quite a few like me! Although he didn't come out to service us, I really appreciated his help and honesty and have saved his contact information for our next plumbing challenge. Thank you Mike! read more

We contacted Mike when we were having drainage issues in two apartments in our three flat building. Mike responded quickly and was able to arrive quickly. He came with the right camera and power routing equipment to clear 3 levels of drainage issues in the stack and he was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. While he was here, he helped us diagnose a different long-standing issue that we could handle on our own. We were so happy with Mike that we've decided to hire him to undertake additional necessary but deferred plumbing repairs. Really happy we found him. read more

Mike is a wonderful man who seems to care about his customers, has fair and competitive prices, communicates well, shows up on time and does good work. Highly recommended! read more

Mike is awesome!! Super responsive, so pleasant to work with, and leaves you feeling like he wants to fix the problem and not unnecessarily:) He even fixed a couple minor things at no cost while looking at a different issue we called about. Recommend him 100%! read more

Mike was very responsive, thorough, and helpful. He suggested ways to save money on repairs for water damage as well. Highly recommended!

Mike is a rare breed- honest, fair, and great at his trade. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Needed my tub drain rodded. Mike came the day after I called and fixed the problem at a reasonable price. Owning a family service company myself for over 35 years and speaking with him about his plumbing business, I can say that Mike is a caring, trustworthy and honest plumber. Highly recommend him. read more

Called Mike & he returned my call within minutes (very impressive). Was calling for a close friend who is handicapped. Needed some toilets replaced. Mike was professional, knowledgeable & empathetic. His estimates were better than the 5 other plumbers we contacted. After reading his yelp* reviews we realized there's no need to call anyone else when plumbing issues arise. MIKE THE PLUMBER. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Bob P. & Ted C. read more

I have a fear of plumbers because I have been ripped off so many times. But Mike the Plumber turned out to be a great guy and an honest, competent professional. He easily diagnosed the problem with my busted garden spigot, went to get a new one, fixed it, and we were done. A smooth and pleasant experience. Did not complain that it took more time than anticipated, that the access was difficult, that I remembered wrong where the shut-off valve was, and that he had difficulties getting a replacement of the same size. He was cheerful throughout and didn't raise the price, which was under 300. I am extremely happy with his work and the entire experience. Can't recommend him enough. read more

This is truly a wonderful review to write. Mike is the best customer service I've ever received. He was on time, super friendly and engaging and solved my problem in no time flat. Just a really great guy. If I could award more than five stars, I would. read more

Toilet stuffed up. Usual methods with plunger and snake were unsuccessful. Based mainly on Yelp reviews, I called Mike and asked him to come two days later, when I knew I'd be at home. He agreed (and explained he has a minimum charge, but depending on the situation he might charge more), but phoned the next day to say he has a cancellation and could come that day, in "32 minutes." Mike showed up, with his super double-quadruple snake device, and in about three minutes pulled a tennis ball from the toilet. (He also cleaned the toilet.) I was happy to pay, and he provides a 30-day guarantee (I guess in case some one around here puts another ball down the toilet.). Note also that Mike accepts credit cards without surcharge. read more

My first plumber cancelled 20 minutes before my appointment and never showed up the next day as he suggested. Frustrated, I read yelp reviews and reached out to Mike. Mike responded quickly to an inquiry through YELP. We texted and talked the same day even though he wasn't going to come until after the Holiday weekend. Showed up on time, resolved the issue and was fairly priced. Can't ask for more than that & will definitely feel comfortable calling or referring him to others. 5 stars! read more

I had a clogged pipe I couldn't get disloged. Mike was quick to respond, did a great job, walked me through the process steps, and gave plenty of advice on preventing the problem from happening again. I recommend him and would use him again. read more

Mike is great! We had low water pressure in one of our bathrooms and Mike was able to come the day after we called him and fix it in less than 30 minutes. Highly recommended if you want a responsive, no-nonsense plumber. read more

Mike went out of his way to come help us with a kitchen drain clog same day with an already full schedule. We were so happy to get up front and fair pricing, and he took the time to explain the issue and went above and beyond to clear the line all they way to to grease trap. It has taken 12 years but we've finally found plumber for keeps! read more

Noticed our garbage disposal was leaking on a Sunday and sent Mike a text. An hour later, he was at my place installing the new unit. Fast, super friendly and got the job done without any issues. Quality experience across the board! read more

Mike was so helpful and kind! He fixed our concerns quickly yet effectively and helped us understand what was happening. We are very appreciative of Mike and would definitely recommend! read more

Mike is a local plumber that can walk you through what you need if he can't make it out to you

My garbage disposal broke. Frantic, I called Mike and he came right out to our house. He replaced our old one with a much more quiet and efficient disposal system. He probably took all of about twenty minutes. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and very polite. Our kitchen was back up and running again, all thanks to Mike! Highly recommend this man for your plumbing needs. read more

About as honest and straightforward as it gets. Great guy and even better plumber! He explained everything that was going to be done, was flexible around our schedule and most importantly fixed the issue we were having. I'm glad to find a go to plumber we can depend on with fair and transparent pricing. read more

Now I get to write my OWN rave review of Mike the Plumber! Without going into why, I had reason to believe the wax ring on one of my toilets was compromised. Spoke with Mike on the phone, he told me he has a flat charge for said procedure. Because I have another toilet, it wasn't an emergency so he arrived a couple of days later. He repaired that, and I asked him if he wouldn't mind turning the hot and cold faucets below my bathroom sink, because I hadn't been able to, was considering replacing my faucet. He did that, then explained my faucet was good & I myself could address the 1 thing that had me thinking I'd needed to replace the faucet. Would DEFINITELY recommend Mike! read more

Trustworthy and responsive. If I could give Mike 6 stars I would. Highly recommend. Fixed our garbage disposal with ease and could've charged me a lot more for it! Thanks Mike. read more

Believe the 5 star reviews, Mike is awesome! It's so nice to have a plumber in my contacts who I not only know will do great work, but is also fair and 100% trustworthy. Mike is also super responsive, dependable, and takes great pride in his work. And to top it all off, we actually had a really fun day together when he came by! Great guy + great work = no brainer on reaching out to him for your plumbing needs. read more

I love it when Yelp helps you find people like Mike the Plumber. After using several other plumbers with mixed (and sometimes very expensive) results, we needed a new service provider. When I saw nothing but 5-star reviews on Mike's profile, I was a little wary. But Mike has earned every great review you're seeing here. Within an hour, he addressed about six different issues. He fixed a toilet that didn't want to stop running. He cleared a blockage in a bathroom faucet. He tightened up some leaky taps. He showed us how to remove the screens in our various faucets, recommended a flood guard for our basement drain, and offered to consult via FaceTime when the flood guard arrived and was ready to install. Both my husband and I were so impressed. On top of being highly knowledgeable, his rates are super reasonable - and he's a great guy! Mike, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to write a review about you. You are amazing, and we're lucky to have found you. read more
