Mike’s Plumbing

I called him to do a sewer rot. basic project. i told him it was not a rush job.
he came after another project around 5pm. he was there maybe 45 minutes. he dented my gutter feed. BEWARE — he doesnt have the right equipment for video (which is pretty standard with most providers) so i had no idea if what he did on the sewer rotting was of any benefit. He charged me $ 300 for the service, which was too much given the time of the work and the quality of the equipment he used. I pretty much view this as flushing the money down the drain in hindsight.
I told him it was too much — he said he would ‘cut me a deal’ for work next time i needed something. There wont be a next time…

I called a first time and was told he would be over within in 2 hours. 2.5 hours later I called back. He said he was busy working at another location and it would be another hour. He ended up rushing me off the phone saying he had to call me back… he never called back and never showed. Very unprofessional.

The guy sucks. Called him that my pip broke 8 pm today and he said that he will be over. I called him back in 1 hour and he said that he is busy and it will he a couple of hours. I hung up on him after giving him a few words.

At 5:30 am my neighbor called me to tell me that water was gushing out of my garage. Sure enough, a pipe had burst and was gushing water like a fire hydrant directly onto a wall full electrical wires and electrical panel. My husband was out of town and I had no idea how to turn off the water to our building (4 Unit Condo, plus Coach house). In a panic, I googled «emergency plumber» and Mike’s Plumbing was at the top of the search, so I called him.
Mike answered immediately, and was on the scene within 20 minutes. He was friendly, professional, told me how much the repair would cost and fixed the pipe quickly. By 8:30 a.m., the issue was resolved and I was on my way to work.
Later that evening one of my neighbors who lives in the coach house did not have running water. So at 11:30 p.m., on that very same day that I called again and Mike answered immediately. He walked me through how to resolve the issue over the phone. He then called me back around midnight to make sure everything was OK and offered some advice on how to ensure my pipe won’t burst again.
I feel very lucky that my google search led me to Mike’s Plumbing. I give him the highest recommendation and will call him for all of our future plumbing needs. Thank you Mike!

At midnight last night I dropped by to check on the house I just bought to find that it had not been winterized and the water pipes had frozen and once thawed, one had burst. Cold water was cascading down the wall and, through the floor boards into my basement. The valve that controls the main from the street was rusted in place and would not turn to shut off the water flow. After foolishly waiting hours for the city of Chicago to come turn off the water main, I called Mike. It was 0330 in the morning. Mike answered his phone and was on site in 35 minutes. He cut the water line and inserted a new length of pipe and shut off valve. Problem solved. He told me immediately what the repair would cost and worked quickly to make the repair. He is a very friendly man and he got me out of a huge jam in the middle of the night. Thanks Mike.
