We had an undermount sink completely collapse into our base cabinet -- not exactly the crisis you want looming before your next Airbnb guests arrive! Dominick came out quickly, assessed the situation thoroughly, and identified the root cause: the sink had never been properly supported by the stone countertop installers who did the job three years ago. That and the added weight of our garbage disposal had finally taken its toll. What really impressed us was that Dominick didn't just patch the problem -- he fixed it the right way. He installed proper supports that allowed us to keep our heavier garbage disposal in place, ran all the appropriate tests after reinstalling the sink, and had everything working perfectly before our next guests checked in. No shortcuts, no cutting corners, just quality workmanship under real time pressure and at a fair price given the urgency of the situation. He even cleaned out our garbage disposal which we really appreciated. If you need a reliable plumber who goes above and beyond, Dominick is your guy. Highly recommend! read more

I was recommended by my lovely hair stylist, I think it's important to have a female recommendation for in house services! The whole process was extremely smooth to get him over to check out my toilets, even got a estimate ahead of the work. Dominick and his son were so kind and helpful, were educating (and teaching) me throughout. The work was done well and intentionally was very fairly priced. Highly recommend especially if any women are looking to feel safe! read more

Dominick was amazing. He was incredibly responsive and showed up to help fix some old/degraded parts on our toilet on a weekend on short notice. He was friendly, accommodative, and even tried to be helpful over the phone (though I wasn't going to fix anything over the phone). When the fix sprung a leak a few hours later, he provided help and came back the next day free of charge to make sure there was no leak. Would strongly recommend! read more

Don't waste your time calling other plumbers, Dominick and his team do an incredible job at a great price. I called 4 plumbers who gave me the whole "well it will be $800 to run a diagnostic and then we charge $200 per hour of labor, and then blah blah" I called Sinks-N-Sumps early on Thursday, they were at my house within 3 hours and the problem was fixed that afternoon. Easy, great communication and honest price. I know there are tons of plumbers in Chicagoland area but Sinks-N-Sumps in truthfully the best which is why we continue to use them. read more

Can't recommend Sinks-N-Sumps enough! Had a tenant contact us on a Saturday with a plumbing issue and gave Dominick a call. He was able to understand what was potentially going on, get a quote over (very fair price for the weekend service as well), and had the repair completed extremely quickly. Dominick's communication with us, and our tenant really impressed me. We love having local businesses we can partner with, and we are thrilled to have found Sinks-N-Sumps. This crew is a whole package deal & I'd highly recommend them! read more

Dominic explains everything thoroughly, shows up when he says he will, very professional and reliable! we highly recommend this company!

A mason jar was lodged in our garbage disposal, and in trying to get the garbage disposal off myself, was not able to reinstall it. I called Dominick who said he could come out in a 1-hour timeframe, but would have to rely on my tools to get the job done. Dominick arrived and took care of reinstalling our garbage disposal and also clearing out the mason jar glass that had shattered within it. He was incredibly quick and efficient with his work, completing the job in less than 45 minutes and having done the reinstallation with the limited tools that I had. I will definitely be calling Dominick the next time I need any type of plumbing done, and cannot recommend him enough. read more

So, this review isn't so much for the job that was done, because I ended up getting scheduled with my building's maintenance man instead, but I felt compelled to leave a comment on the customer service alone. I was mid-anxiety attack when I called Dominic about my leaky toilet and though he was unable to fit me in on that same day, he had me send him a picture of what I was looking at and then talked me through how to temporarily stop the leak. Which temporarily stopped my anxiety. And probably saved my floor and the ceiling of the person below me. For that alone, much gratitude! Edited to add: and then came the plot twist: Dominick IS in fact my building's plumber! *cue shocked music* So now I can speak on his service, which was quick and thorough. With great personality to boot! Aside from that time I spent almost 12 hours on 5-hour train ride (don't ask), I've never been so happy to see my toilet. All is well once again! read more

Great service! Dominick came out within about two hours on a Sunday night. Figured it out right away and told us the problem and what he did to fix it. He was quick, efficient and professional. Labeled the parts so we know who installed them and when. Would definitely use Sinks-N-Sumps again. read more

My wife and I own a duplex condo where the lower level is below street level. We had been experiencing a sewage smell which had been worsening over time. The smell was emanating from what I thought was a sump pump, so I searched on Google for a plumber who could assist with this issue and found Dominick. Dominick was fantastic. When I first called, he answered the phone and asked me to send him some photos of the sump pump so that he could diagnose the issue. Dominick immediately informed me that I had a sewage pump, not a sump pump. Also, someone who apparently was not a plumber had installed a backup sump pump, instead of a backup sewage pump, which was completely improper and was causing some of the problems. Dominick quoted me a price to come over and replace the pump with a new sewage pump. He was very thorough and spent about 7 hours removing the old pumps and installing a new sewage pump. He also replaced some PVC piping which had been incorrectly installed. He sealed the piping and the metal cover over the sump pit. Dominick additionally replaced a valve in the piping which had been loudly slamming shut every time the sewage pump expelled wastewater; he installed a type of dampener which eliminated the slamming sound. I am very pleased with Dominick's work as the sewage smell is completely gone and the new sewage pump has been working well. I would definitely hire him again, particularly for complex projects. read more

Dominick is the best. He was able to see me same day, fixed the issue quickly, and was incredibly nice. I will absolutely call him again if I have any plumbing issues. read more

My sewage pump was continuously running and not shutting off so I called Sinks-N-Sumps at 10:30pm because I was worried it would fail overnight. I spoke with Dominick who asked me a series of questions and had me send a picture of my pump. We spent about 30 minutes on the phone trying to debug the problem and applying simple solutions, but nothing worked. We concluded that the pump was too old and needed to be replaced so I made an appointment for the next day (Christmas Eve). The next day Dominick and Alonzo worked tirelessly for five hours to replace my pump. Several issues cropped up due to how the original builder installed the pump, but Dominick kept me informed throughout the process while educating me on how everything worked. What I appreciated most, is that there were several times when the pump was in a "good-enough" state and they could have left to enjoy their Christmas Eve but instead they made sure things were working perfectly before they left. I can't thank them enough for the work they put into replacing my pump and I will definitely be using them again in the future for any plumbing problems. read more

I just had Dominic come out for the 3rd time. This time it was for a precautionary measure. Dominic is the most honest plumber I know. We ran several tests and told me that everything looked and seemed normal. I would recommend Dominic to anyone. He is reliable, hard working, really makes sure you understand the problem and beyond fair with pricing. read more

He arrived on time; did the job; had to cut out a piece of the windowsill in order for the faucet to fit. My fault. I purchased the faucet. He called first to make sure it was okay. I told him to do it. He did a neat job. Cleaned up after himself and priced the job reasonably. I have used him in the past, and will continue to use him when I need a plumber. read more

I called Dominic and he was able to come out to my condo within an hour. While on the phone with him he asked me a few questions about my garbage disposal and quoted me a fair price and came out and fixed the issue within minutes and knew what was wrong right away. Dominic walked me through all my options and was extremely helpful. I highly recommend him. Honest, Fair, and overall just a great guy. read more

I highly recommend Dominick and Sinks-N-Sumps for any plumbing need. We had a toilet leak on a Sunday. Called Sinks-N-Sumps and left a message. Dominick(who I believe is the owner) called me back less than 5 minutes later. We only have one bathroom, so he adjusted his schedule to come out first thing Monday morning. So helpful! He came with an assistant. They quickly found the source of the leak and corrected it. They also stayed and helped with the bathroom sink which had a loose stopper. I have to say Dominick is down to earth and easy to communicate with. He explained the problem succinctly and was upfront with all pricking(which seemed fair). They were in and out in 30minutes. I hope they are still this accessible next time we need them! read more

Once again, Dominick comes through! After getting a call from my neighbor that she was getting water in her unit from my guest bath, I immediately called Dominick. He was there within 24 hours of my call. After removing our toilet, he found the seal between the pipe and the toilet was completely broken. He not only replaced the seal, he created a *customized* seal on the spot because we have older, larger pipes. Despite the fact this required extra work and more time, he gave me a break on the cost of his time. Also, during the time he was here, I had to get on a business call that I couldn't reschedule. Dominick was more than ok with it, wrapped up everything he needed to (billing, etc) with me before the call and even volunteered to communicate with my neighbor while I was on my call so he could test his work and make sure our neighbor wasn't seeing any additional leaks. He's a complete professional and someone you can trust. We are so grateful we found him and will always turn to him for our plumbing needs! read more

Fast, efficient, and very professional! Dominick's work is always done cleanly and speedily. Other advice was given on related matters. Dominick is friendly and approachable. I will heartily recommend him to neighbors and friends since it's difficult to find a good plumber in the city. His prices are always reasonable and I never get that sinking feeling that I'm being taken advantage of, since I know nothing about plumbing. Thanks Dominck! read more

Highly recommend Dominick! He is incredible reliable and quick to respond. He also explains everything in detail which I really appreciate. We had a plumbing emergency on a Sunday and we needed him to come out and he came out within an hour and fixed everything promptly. He is also so friendly and great with kids and dogs as a plus. read more

Dominick was a dream. Thanks to other reviewers on Yelp, my husband and I called Dominick to fix our leaky sink (note: he was a new plumber for us as the leaks have been "fixed" 3 times before to hold out for a month or two and then break again). He showed up same-day, giving us a heads up before he was coming so that we could ensure one of us was home from work to let him in. Although we thought the problem was simple and would be a quick fix, Dominick discovered what other plumbers hadn't: a leaky hose. Literally, the entire hose had small leaks in it and the water was draining into the cabinet below the sink. We live in a rental, so Dominick was patient as I worked to contact our landlord to confirm how she wanted to handle and ultimately we ended up getting a new faucet because the hose would not properly detach without doing further damage. Although he had plans that night, he altered them and stayed until the job was done. I felt like I learned a lot and received very high quality and custom service from Dominick. Can't recommend enough! read more

Excellent. I called for an emergency issue and they came out much faster than I would have expected. The service was professional and thorough. When I called with a couple of follow up questions Dominick was super responsive and helpful. I felt that they were committed to helping me resolve the problem beyond the actual visit. Not cheap, but worth the responsiveness in an emergency. read more

Fantastic service! Dominick runs a great business. The first time I called for an appointment, he actually helped me fix my own toilet for free by giving advice over the phone. Seriously! I told him I was saving his number in my phone as "plumber" and he'd get all my business in the future. So when my toilet broke again recently, I gave Dominick a call. He answers the calls himself and is very easy to work with. He gave me options, prices, pros and cons - without pressuring me one way or another. He fixed the toilet quickly and taught me a thing or two about plumbing at the same time. Cannot recommend Sinks-N-Sumps highly enough. read more

Very thorough. I had a leaky kitchen faucet, but Dominick found a few other issues that were easy to fix and made a world of difference. It's like I have a brand new sink. He even passed on some helpful tips to extend the life of everything. Would recommend him for any household plumbing job. read more

Dominick was super awesome. He was able to fix my sink the same day I called. My garbage disposal crapped out and he was able to fix it right away. I would highly recommend again. Good dude. Thanks a million, M. read more

The pump that pumps waste water up to the main waste line was seized. Dominic and I had a good laugh about the root of the problem. He and his office was very responsive to my service call and got to me as soon as his schedule allowed. Since it wasn't an emergency, I was able to wait a day. It's fixed, I'm happy and I found a new plumber. Thanks Dominic! read more

I have to say when my sink started to back up I was nervous but as I googled a plumber I clicked on this company and I called up and Dominic picked up And from the start he was very polite and extremely knowledgable about my problem and I highly recommend him and this company because it all starts with customer service and he gets a A + Thanks Sam read more

I have never written a review before but joined Yelp just to write one for Dominick. I had a clogged toilet that I had tried augering and plungering but nothing worked. He provided a pretty clear cost estimate over the phone, but when he came over he used a diagnostic trick to identify a cheaper way to fix the problem, and in the end he charged less than the lower end of the range he had quoted. Other plumbers I talked to took a look and didn't even bother using creative problem solving to find a solution, and they quoted triple what Dominick charged. I will never use any other plumber, ever, as long as I live in Chicago. read more

Dominic and his associate were very professional, organized, and wore masks. My wife and I have two newborns at home (twins) and our garbage disposal seals broke leaking water all over our kitchen this week. He found a way to work us into the schedule the same day we called. He really saved us. I particularly liked the fact that he was able to give me a quote over the phone and when his team arrived for the work, they brought the replacement unit with them...very efficient work. Most other plumbers wanted to send someone out to do an estimate, then run to the hardware store, then come back and do the work. Fair rates as well. Highly recommend. read more

So my toilet started to leak about four days ago and I hadn't had the time to get someone to come take a look. Finally, I called sinks n sumps, and they had a guy ready to come out within an hour. My toilet was fixed, and he did a great job of explaining to me what the issue was. He took the time to make sure nothing else was the cause of the leak except the toilet, and didn't want to do any major things to my toilet until he was sure that it was just a minor leak. Definitely would recommend Sinks-N-Sumps to anyone not savvy in this area for a fix! read more

Excellent service! Dominick and Howard were great to work with and addressed all the issues with my kitchen sink. Replaced the valves and the kitchen faucet so there are no more leaks or concerns. Dominick was very thorough and straightforward about pricing, which I really appreciated. Thanks again! read more

I called Dominick at Sinks-N-Sumps Saturday to schedule an appointment due to a kitchen sink not draining. I didn't consider it an emergency and I was willing to wait until I was off work during the week on Tuesday to be home fortunately but I believe he would have been able to see me that evening if I had asked. He actually called me this evening to see if I would want him to stop by tonight instead; I said I was and he was over at a reasonable hour. He was professional and friendly. Took a quick look and was able to immediately determine some issues with the pipe however he did come up with 3 steps in a list of possible solutions with increasing invasiveness. Each step was explicitly explained with accompanying price points. We were fortunately able to stop after step 1 and I am very happy with how my sink is doing now. He gave me several tips for keeping it running smoothly and advised me what issues may arise in the future as well as possible solutions for those outcomes. The price was right. Service was excellent. I would heartily recommend Sinks-N-Sumps to anyone needing plumbing work. read more

This was my third time using Dominick and Sinks-N-Sumps and per usual my expectations were exceeded! I needed a shutoff valve and shower head replaced and scheduling the appointment was easy. The day of the service Dominick was rear ended by another driver on the way to our building, but he let me know right away and still arrived for our scheduled time! While making repairs he explained what he was fixing and why it was important. Dominick always makes a point to do great work and inform his customers of what he's doing - can't ask for much more and once again I'm extremely satisfied with the service. Thank you Dominick! read more

I had, what turned out to be a non-emergency plumbing problem. A seasoned homeowner, would have most likely been able to solve the problem on her own, but I needed Dominick. He made the fixes in no time at all. He was extremely polite and informative, and actually reduced the amount of the charge due to the limited amount of labor needed. He was extremely professional and respectful. I am grateful for his services, especially on such a frigid winter day. I will definitely call again in the case of any plumbing needs! Thanks, Dominick. read more

With the recent storms my sump pump stopped working so after assessing what i was going to have to do I realized I had to modernize my system,after a little research I came across sinks and sumps.I called and dominick answered I made the appointment for the following day.dominick arrived on time,he was very professional and knowledgeable, he recommended what should be done and the price was right,actually thought is was going to be more.He did a fantastic job,and I highly recommend sinks and sumps to anyone looking for quality plumbing work. Thank you. BOB read more

My wife and I have used Sinks-N-Sumps twice now and received excellent service both times. The company is responsive and understanding. Their first trip to see us, they resolved a clog with our in sink garbage disposal and the second time they were able to trouble shoot over the phone, preventing us from incurring an unnecessary charge. read more

These guys are amazing. We had major sink issues on a Sunday night in our 100 yr old brownstone. The team that showed up was efficient, knowledgeable and even kept their voices down the entire time they were in our house after I told them there was a sleeping baby in the next room. They gave us a lot of tips for keeping old-building plumbing maintained so that we wouldn't have issues in the future. Dominic, the owner or manager, also showed up to check everything was done right before his team left -- going above and beyond. I would call this place with any plumbing issue. read more

I have to say, Dominc at sinks and sumps is the best! It's so scary trying to find someone to trust when something goes wrong, and when I needed a plumber, I didn't know where to start. I found his sticker on my hot water heater, and figured if he's been here before, I should try him first, and thank God I did! He is fantastic. He was here right away, did the job fast and was not expensive! He told me he hoped I wouldn't need him again, but if I ever did he would be there for me. And I did need him again, for another problem. He gave me advise over the phone first and when that didn't work he was at my service immediately! And when I had a problem with my dishwasher, he recommended Abbot Apliance to me, called them, and they came out late at night for my party the next day, and we're also fantastic. I now have a new friend in the business that I can trust, and that is life altering! Thank you sinks and sumps! read more

Dominick was amazing. I just moved in to my place and needed to minor work done. I called him slightly before noon and he was able to make it same day (despite having a pretty big job right before). He was extremely courteous and efficient. He even gave me some advice and suggestions on how to make some improvements to my place at a reasonable price. I'm very glad Dominick was the one I ended up choosing to do this work. read more

Dominick really is a great plumber and great guy! We had some toilet issues over the holidays, and he quickly fixed the problem and even gave us pointers on how to prevent it from happening again. Do not hesitate to call him. We are so happy that we found Chicago's best plumber! read more

Dominic is wonderful. He's helped us with emergency flooding over the holidays and general plumbing issues in the bathrooms and kitchen. Hard working, easy to communicate with, and always gives his honest opinion. I trust Dominic 100%. We'll be working with Dominic and Sink-N-Sumps for years to come. read more
