WCR did an amazing job repairing and enhancing my drainage problem. They were on time every day and finished ahead of schedule; 4 days not 5. The work site was set up for a safe work environment and was cleaned up every night. The workers that showed up went above and beyond want was initially asked of them. Pricing was simple to understand and extremely fair for the quality of work that was done. WCR has made it to my short list of company's that I would allow to come back to work on my property.

We had to find a plumber quickly when we found a gas leak and our gas was turned off by Nicor. We chose Windy City based on all of the favorable reviews and their service area. We couldn’t be more pleased with our choice. They responded immediately and fixed the gas problem quickly. We requested that they look at a sewage issue which led to finding a collapsed line to our septic tank. They quickly sent a crew of 5 guys to dig up and replace the line. We developed an appreciation for there professionalism, quality of work, and fair pricing. We decided to have them replace old water and sewer lines

Really more of 2.5 but I rounded up.

The Good: Quick to reply, the owner cares about the business and making customers happy. The scheduling/online team are great. Free, no obligation quotes.

The Bad: Like any company with employees (vs solo plumber) it can be hit and miss with the quality of the plumber you get and unfortunately I got a miss. I had a drip on my bathtub faucet and I figured while they were there I'd have them flush my water heater.

Cost: Their prices are NOT CHEAP. Expect to pay around $250/hr for even basic tasks and don't expect even the smallest job to run you under

These guys are the best. I just bought a house in Antioch. Needed a plumber looked online called a few companies. But charges me to come out and look at the issue I didn’t like that. This company didn’t charge me. I talked to the office lady forgot her name but I told her what was going on. She said she could have someone be sent out when I get home from work around 5. I said that will work they showed up. It was in my crawlspace the plumber didn’t complain about that. I really liked that. Showed him the issue It was the main value broken. Told me he can fix it now. Told me the price u said

From start to finish, Max, his sons, and the entire crew were fantastic to work with. I felt Max’s assessment of my issue was accurate. He took the time to explain the issues and rationale behind the repair work. The project went smoothly, and the entire crew was professional and courteous. As a side note, Windy City was a referral based on a similar positive experience.

My family and I had an emergency with our main sewer line for several weeks, at first we didn't know what the issue was because we had another plumbing company come out (weeks before we reached out to Windy City Rooter) without any resolution or proper knowledge of how to correctly come up with a solution to the major issues we were having of basement backups, basement and other areas of the house smelling fowl, etc.
When we did contact Windy City Rooter, they came out immediately to assess the situation. They were able to find the problem and walk us through exactly the cause of the issues we

They get your job done and arrive on time but they quote a price out of the blue & they are way overpriced, you can't even tell how did they come up with the price, its a roughly quote out of the guy mind who came that day.
I paid off the price because I just wanted to get it done otherwise I would definitely have it done with another company.

Windy City Rooter just put in an overhead sewer system AND replaced our main sewer line. The guys were great and efficient. They went out of their way to make sure we understood exactly what they were doing and cared about how we were feeling and about inconveniencing us in any way. We would highly recommend this company for any of your plumbing needs. The price was reasonable, the time line was perfect, and the outside looks amazing after all the work was finished. Court, Keith, and the crew are great guys and you can really trust that they care about you and are very professional in all the work

This was a long time ago, so I don't feel the need to elaborate much more. I do want to clarify however, since I was accused is sneaking out, which wasn't the case and attempts to discredit my review. As I mentioned, they made me late for my appointment because they arrived significantly late! I told them as they were inspecting , and before they were packed up that I would need to rush out as soon as possible, and at the time they seemed to understand this and agreed. Many, and at that time, most service providers I was working with either settled up by mail or phone. Given that I had

What started out as a small job of changing out 2 faucets and fixing a clog turned out to be a bigger job. Thankfully Shanon was great. He was honest about what needed to be done and the day of service he showed up promptly with another employee and they got the work done in 2 hours (an hour less than every other place quoted). The work was clean and the guys were very thorough.

Our sump pump and backup needed replacement. Being new to the area, we looked through yelp for well rated plumbing places that offered the service and found Windy City Rooter.
My husband placed the call and was told that someone was on a call in our area and would respond as soon as he completed that service.
Within and hour we had an appointment set for 11:30. By 12:30 they had assessed, and replaced our sump pump and battery with a new one that needs no maintenance.
The gentlemen that came to do the work were just that, gentlemen. They were respectful, informative and worked efficiently.

Windy City Rooter is a great company with great people. We have used Windy City for small projects like sink clogs and large projects like hydro jetting and sewer line repair and they have exceeded expectations every time. These types of jobs are not always pleasant that is why you need a good company you can rely on. Their slogan is, “We drain your pipes, not your wallet.” They do the superior work and at an affordable price. They arrive on time and when they say they will. I come from a family of contractors, and you can just tell when you are dealing with pros or not. Windy City does it

Max, Joe and the team are wonderful and very professional! He performed a very large job at my house around 2008. It was over Christmas until New Years. He and his son did an amazing job!

I contacted him 12 years later and he helped me out again. This man and business is the best in Chicago land, and I would NEVER call another!!!!
