All Chicagoland Plumbing

I’ll start of to say that Tony was professional on the phone and arrived on time for the plumbing service. I found him off CL and he was one of the cheaper ones… well you get what you paid for. On the phone Tony was very confident and specifically told me that he can get the job DONE! And that he has the right tools for the job. As long as you tell me that you can back up what you say. Then I’m all for it! He quoted me 120.00…it was 30.00 cheaper than the others. I knew i should’ve just paid the extra 30.00 and go ahead with somebody with more experienced. He has 5 years under his belt. Better to have a license plumber with over 10 – 15 years instead.
Tony arrived and spent time rodding the drain but with no success, so he went to rodding the main and nothing as well. He did put the time, but the issue i have is that you need to tell me things up front. If you can ‘t get the job done it’s should cost me 60 for just a service call .and if you aren’t successful… you should not be charging 100.00. He went down to 80.00 but i was still honestly not happy about it because i could’ve called other plumbers that backed up with what they say and would charge a nominal fee for traveling and service for trying. He eventually went to 70.00.which is still high.
I would not go back or recommend «All Chicagoland Plumbing» or «Evans and Grembowski Sewer and Drainage Company». If you do run into them… be sure they can back it up or get it writing. I need a plumbing service that guarantees their work from their performance… not their words.
To be cont…
The next day I had Walter Plumbing Sewer and Drain from CL and his fee was 150.00. He was the first I called and knew I should’ve gone to him in the beginning. Oh well… lesson learned! This guy was a true professional. He not only guarantee his work but backed it up by saying if he can’t do it? 60.00 for the service call, but he he was humble and confident that with 19 years of experience that he WILL get the job done, and yes he did! He brought over a the top of the line Rodding tool with a ³⁄₈ clamp biting head to tear through just about anything! Tony’s rodding tool was like a fishing rod compare to Wally’s. It took Wally 20 min to fix the problem when it took 1 hour and a half with Tony and still wasn’t able to fix the problem. Walter also looked into my toilet to address other minor issues along with being very thorough with checking pipes and other sewer related things. He was a pleasure to have around and I would not hesitate to call on him again!
