Moody Plumbing

I needed a plumber on the coldest day of the year because I had a leaking outdoor faucet. They sent Angel who did an excellent job. He explained everything he was doing. A plumber from Roter Rooter had been to my house last year for the same problem and did an awful job. Angel did a great job and I will always call Moody for my plumbing needs.

I hate to do this, and I really wanted to give them a good review because of all the good I’ve heard, but here’s the lowdown:
First, hired them out for a simple leaky toilet about 2 years ago. They did the job but the toilet was reinstalled improperly (not leveled). Now the lid slams down when in the up position. Seems minor and I thought so as well which is why I called them back for my ejector pump replacement. However, try peeing in the middle of the night and having that lid slam shut on you, wakes up the house and scares the crap out of you! Not to mention the fun of peeing all over your seat. Yeah, minor detail. Anyway, back to the ejector pump, they installed it, it works great, however, they told me «I could seal up the lid with some caulking myself if it started to smell if I wanted?» What? Why isn’t that part of the job, and of course it’s going to smell, it’s an ejector pump! But they were the plumbers, I expected more. Finally, I paid them quite a hefty amount to come out and fix my water pressure. One of them (I believe the son) came out for an estimate. In waiting for the estimate, I finally heard back a couple weeks later over email that he lost my number, no biggie. Anyway, I hired them and they ran new copper across my basement to solve the problem. The copper looks great, they did a good job there. However, I still have no water pressure. I was told after that they’d need to come back and replace the shower valve to finally solve it, at another 500 bucks (after about 4g already). On top of it, they tore up the walls to get the pipes in (I knew this going into it). However, the way they left it was very amateurish. The walls were not cleanly cut, they were torn apart making it an even bigger patching job. (It looked like they used hammers and tore the dry-​wall up instead of cutting it with a drywall knife or saw). Also, the basement was left a complete mess (no cleanup). Well, never heard back about the valve, then finally the guy emailed me weeks later saying he lost my number, again. Well, now I’ve lost their info now as well. Basically, they do great plumbing work only. They will leave your place in shambles and possibly not finish the job and they’re super unorganized.

We found Moody on Angie’s list but have since had occasion to use them several times. They are a great company. They always promptly respond to those panicky homeowner calls. They arrive on time, the work is done quickly and, best of all, prices are fair. You feel you’re talking to someone who knows what they are doing, are willing to explain to you what work needs to be done. Don’t hesitate to use them.

When you want it done right the first time, call Moody Plumbing! Our issue was low hot water pressure after replacing an old water heater that was installed by another company. We were told that we would have to tear the basement ceiling to replace pipes. That’s when we called Moody Plumbing. Joe and his team assessed the situation and fixed the problem quickly without having to replace any pipes. They are very professional, knowledgeable and reliable. We were charged at a reasonable rate too. We are very satisfied and would recommend Moody Plumbing to anyone who has any plumbing needs.

Moody Plumbing was recommended to me by a family member after I purchased an older home with old outdated plumbing. After my first call I met at my home with Joe to get an estimate to repipe all hot and cold water pipes. Joe was very upfront and honest about the cost and how long it would take, but also worked with us to save some money. Joe and his crew came in and finished the entire job in 2 days ! They also replaced some old drains that were pretty much rotten. I would highly recommend Moody Plumbing for anyone looking to get plumbing work done. We are very happy with their work.

I spoke with several plumbers to do some basic work on my home — installing a new sink, a new toilet, etc. I decided to go with Joe Moody as he communicated well when he gave me the estimate and got great reviews.
His team did a great job with all of their work and they even identified a leak that I was unaware of and fixed it on the spot. They finished the work faster than expected and charged me less than their estimate as well.
Overall, I had a great experience with Moody Plumbing.

These guys are the best!
We are in the process of updating a two flat and have worked with other plumbers, but Joe and his team were far and away the most professional, responsive, communicative, and their work was flawless. He came and did a detailed inspection of our project and wrote up a line by line estimate that came out to the exact final cost. They hit their timeline perfectly and were minimally invasive into the walls as they replaced pipes and drains all the way to the third floor from the basement. He also gave us some great ideas for upcoming projects.
We work with contractors on a regular basis, and this is the best experience we have ever had with professionals. Highly recommended.

They did a great, professional job. Tom was excellent. It was clear he knew what he was doing and they worked with me on the price. I had gotten a quote lower than they originally quoted but they explained everything that needed to be done and came down a hundred dollars so that it was closer in line to the other quote I received. They even told me that I needed a new faucet before they arrived based on the pictures sent, which none of the other companies had mentioned, so I went with them. Glad I did. Will use them in the future for any needs and will recommend.

An awesome company. Joe came out to gather information for a bid to replace all the horizontal pipes in our 1950s house. He was knowledgable and explained various elements of our plumbing that he saw — some of these elements needed correction, some did not. While he was the second company we had in, his bid came in first. It was among the least expensive; yet he included all of the work requested. (Some of the other companies did not include all aspects of the work and their bids were more expensive.) We exchanged emails where we asked for clarification of different elements of the bid and he was quick to explain. Once we secured his company, we were able to schedule the work in a timely fashion. His entire crew arrived on time and went about their work quickly. They finished all the work in a single day and Joe cut some hundreds of dollars off his quoted price because they were able to do the work in a single day.
Joe Moody is local; they are expert. We will never call another plumber again.

Joe and his team were nothing but helpful, kind, and considerate when they helped replace a pipe that went through the foundation of my home.
They had no problem digging through my garden, and putting the soil back after the project. They are very easy to get along with, and were open to conversation with me.
Tom also has been a great help to me, and has come over to my home to for other plumbing consultation, and even replaced an old sump pump I had in my basement. Very genuine and honest.
Both Joe and Tom have always answered my calls at a reasonable amount of time, and have always been willing to be practical with me when it comes to advice and deciding on what should I do.
My neighbor also has used them years ago when he had a flooding issue, and he was the one to refer me to this fine plumbing team. Glad I have been blessed to do business with a plumbing team who is local to me!
You won’t regret giving them a call, or even having them come over for an estimate.

Unilocal does it again. Called Moody for a clogged drain & dripping faucet. Jim came the next day & fixed the drain in a snap. Faucet was beyond repair, bug gave me some pointers on the kind to buy for a short term situation. Angel came today & installed it! Fair pricing, quick service & knowledgeable, friendly staff.
The best part? They’re local!

When we bought our very old 2-​flat, the previous owners recommended Moody. We’ve been calling them for all plumbing needs for the past 3 years. Just now, Jim came out the SAME DAY during a very busy week for them. Fixed our problems fast for a good price. Everyone who works here is no-​nonsense and friendly. They always teach me about what they are doing. Its a family owned business and I couldn’t be happier with the service they provide.

Great service and quality work. Knowledgeable and described what would be needed and once again reviewed what was done after the job. Affordable! Feel confident we were not taken advantage of as first time homeowners.

Fast, honest, affordable and competent. In other words, everything you want in a contractor. Very rare, and very recommended.

I needed to have some plumbing work done on my home. I had tried a few other Unilocal plumbing companies and they weren’t as helpful. I gave Moody plumbing a call and talked with Joe. He asked me to send him a pic of my plumbing fixture and then he responded with a very fair quote and firm price. It was half of my other bids and he scheduled me the very next day after he came with the part. Joe was very professional and showed up exactly within the time he said he would. Did a great job and left the place spotless. He double checked the problem was fixed and then left.
I am always looking for professional work at fair prices and these guys do both. I will use these guys for all my future plumbing needs. I am very cautious with screening people and Joe was very honest and professional. Give them a shot and you will not be disappointed.

Love these guys. Honest, professional, great to have on speed dial.
I had another plumber come over and give me an $$ 880 estimate for a leaky sink — citing everything from inadequate installation of the pipes, to the pipes not being to code and everything needing to be redone.
On a recommendation from a friend, I called Moody. He came out and took a look — something just needed to be tightened. that’s all. 10 seconds and a wrench. The guy from Moody double checked the other sinks to make sure there were no other issues, and charged me a really fair price for just coming out and just doing a quick repair.
Great to know there are good, honest people out there not looking to take advantage of you. Definitely use these guys.

I live in Jefferson Park and I used another Plumbing
Company in the past, they didn’t solve my problem with
a clogged sink. i left a message with Moody and they called me
back within the hour. I have been taken advantage before from
Plumbers to Electricians, it’s hard to trust a company if you need
emergency services. I saw the reviews here on Unilocal and trusted
the reviews .
They came out right away and put my mind at ease. I am very very
happy and will recommend them to anyone. They also didn’t over
charge me for work I did not need like the last people I hired. Thank
you Moody for a stress free transaction.

I had some leaky shower diverters and tried to fix it myself. Unfortunately, when I was finished it still leaked. Emailed joe a few times with pics of the issue and scheduled a time for him to come install it. As it turns out, the pipes were visibly damaged and needed fixed. He only had the parts to fix one, but setup a time and came back and fixed the other one too. All in all, did a great job and will call him again.

I am in the industry and have personally used Joe and his team for several of my own plumbing repairs. Moreso i trust his services so much i refer him to all of my clients — he is always timely, honest and priced competitively. I really appreciate his up front approach and quality work.
thank you moody plumbing.

Joe is still batting 1000 with my 60+ year old plumbing — and my bank account. This time the kitchen line was horrendously clogged — so bad that the 1^st round of rodding didn’t do the job. The next day more 50+ year old sludge came loose and re-​clogged the line. Joe came right back out once I let him know the problem was lingering and went to work without hassle. They had to make a mess of a small area of (unfinished) basement to get the line fully cleared from top to bottom, but they cleaned up as well as they could have and the kitchen line is now draining like a champ. Bonus: I didn’t have to resort to eating ramen noodles for the rest of the month in order to afford the work.
Thanks, Joe. Uh-​gain. See you soon, prolly.
