Bubba & Wayne Sewer Service

I own a small rental property in Logan Square and I can’t say enough good things about these guys. Always prompt and very reasonably priced sewer and drain work. There is nobody else to call in my opinion.

These guys were fantastic. Our main drain was completely backed up when we called, and within 45 minutes they were there to resolve the situation.
They are fast, smart, attentive and clean. I highly recommend them.

I called Bubba and Wayne because we had water that wasn’t draining in our basement after it rained. They came out the day after I called and told me my sump pump didn’t work and that a new sump pump would cost $ 550.00. That was outrageous. I called a couple of other companies and I was quoted prices between $ 325.00 and $ 450.00 for the same size pump (1 ½ inches). I had another company come out who fixed it the next day for $ 325.00.
I had to pay $ 75.00 to Bubba and Wayne for the service call but I was still ahead.
I have used Bubba and Wayne several times over the years in different buildings I own to clean catch basins, etc. I have always been satisfied with their work but I am very disappointed with their fees now.

Had a great experience with Bubba & Wayne! We had a leak under our toilet and they were here within 30 mins of calling. They were thorough, fast, and solved the problem immediately. Nice guys, too. We had some other plumbing related questions for them while they were here and they stuck around to take a look and answer for us. We will surely be using them again!

This business specializes in clogged drains and sewers.
The kitchens sink drains in my 2-​flat were suddenly totally backing up after being slow. I called and they were able to come within 15 minutes. (We don’t live very far from their location, but, of course, they may not be able to come this fast for everyone, but they try.) They used a power rodder and cleared the drains quickly.
We were advised not to pour grease down the drains and once a month use natural ingredients to clear the drains. Rodding once a year is often necessary in addition.
If you are a landlord, you may have to schedule drain cleaning every 6 months for the rental units.

Bubba & Wayne were great! Quick and knew exactly where my pipe clog was. Excellent price and service!!! Would call again!

We called Bubba & Wayne because of a friend’s glowing recommendation. We were having backup into all the drains in our garden apartment with any extremely heavy rain where our street flooded. Someone came out immediately, tested all the systems, found we had broken sewer lines, repaired everything, and installed a flood control system which is warrantied for 5 years.
Bubba & his sister, and all the workers, did a marvelous job and cleaned up after their work.
Now when there is a heavy rain, all I do is enjoy the sound, and never worry about what’s going on in the garden apartment.
Thank you, Bubba & Wayne for a job well done.

This guys are really good at what they do – but they’re stuck in the 80’s. I had them come out and run a camera down my sewer line. They said they would give me a tape of what they found. They did — but they gave me a VHS tape. Are you KIDDING? I haven’t owned a VHS player in over a decade!!! When I queried them about it, they said that’s what the city of Chicago requires. I am blown away that I paid $ 350 for a VHS tape I can’t watch.

I choose these guys to install a flood control system in my 4 unit condo building after they did work on my neighbors building and he recommended them.
I talked to Reba (I think that’s her name) on the phone to set up the appointment for Wayne to come out and check out the job and give me a quote. He arrived exactly when he said he would, checked out everything, went over everything, and answered all my questions. Yes, he is a bit curt. He is a 2^nd generation plumber who works very hard and it shows. I’m used to dealing with blue collar ‘fellas (I grew up in Pennsyvania) and he is no different. He is not rude. He is just matter of fact. We set up the appointment for the work to be done and he told me the office would email me a contract. I got the contract within a few hours!
On the day, the crew showed up headed by Bubba himself. I talked to Bubba a bit through out the day so I learned a bit about him. He is 75 (you would never know it) has been plumbing for over 40 years, Wayne is his son and his grandson also works for the company. It turns out that the woman that answers the phone is his wife of 40 years! Now that’s a family business.
Bubba’s crew was 6 guys who were also all related to each other and at least one of which has been with the company for 30 years. I only have one complaint about the crew. They said they would be there at 8:00 AM and there were there at 7:30 AM and I had to drag my butt out of bed to let them into the basement.
These guys are insane! They dug the giant hole for the pit by hand. They placed the sod and top soil aside and replaced it when they were done. They even swept the sidewalk and the street were they were loading the truck when they left.
The whole job was finished by 3:00 PM or so. They guarantee their work for 5 years if you have them come out once a year to clean and maintain the pit and the lines at the regular market price.
I couldn’t be happier with the work they did, the cleanup afterwards, and their efficiency
I would recommend them to anyone. They are a family owed and run business who are hands on.

Wow. I want to second the rude comment made earlier. Just called them to ask them what they would charge to unclog my toilet today (Sunday). She told me $ 150, which seems pretty high. So I said, and how much to have you come out on Monday? She said «Oh the same price, we don’t charge differently for weekends.» I said «wow, ok… let me get back to you…» and she just hung up. No «ok» or «bye» or any of those usual insincere pleasantries. Just a rude, short, curt, unhappy woman hanging up on me. Not going to call them for anything, anytime, ever again.

Bubba & Wayne are great if you’re in a pinch and can’t get a plumber, or don’t quite need one. They’ve cleared clogs for me and they do it pretty quickly. I’d love to enthusiastically recommend them, but as it is I’ve had mixed results. One team that came out were sweet and super helpful. The next team were borderline rude. No, skip the borderline. They were rude. And, to be honest, if you KNOW you need a plumber (not just something something stuck in the drain), call your plumber. (If you don’t have a plumber check out MidCity Plumbing, they’re awesome!) Otherwise, you’ll be paying to have B&W snake something on top of paying a plumber to actually fix the underlying problem.
Still, I’m happy to have them in my roladex…

These guys are GREAT. I’ve had them out to my house over the years for a few different issues and every time they have been VERY quick to respond. When they arrive they are great about giving me a few different options depending on my budget. They are honest even when dealing with a single female (rare!) and very affordable. They have installed a «french drain» for me and routed out my lines. I can’t say enough about them and everyone I have recommended them to has been happy. They have a superb reputation in Chicago.
