Had a sewage pipe that was seemingly backed up again after a different plumber supposedly "fixed it". Turns out the previous plumber did not fix the root issue. Max and his crew came out (on a Thanksgiving weekend no-less) and fixed the issue and even helped me navigate the insurance claim process. Can't thank them enough for taking care of this major issue quickly and efficiently.

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

My family had a plumbing emergency and reached out to multiple plumbing companies in the North Shore area. Windy City Rooter was the first to show up but while he arrived, we had another (more affordable) plumber call and say that he was on the way. My wife decided to tell the plumber from Windy City Rooter that she didn't need his service since we had another plumber on the way. That 2nd plumber tried to work on the clog in our main sewer but was unsuccessful. He recommended calling another company more capable of handling heavy duty repairs. My wife decided to call Windy City Rooter

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

I highly recommend Max & his crew of experienced plumbers at Windy City Rooter, Inc., for any plumbing needs you may have! They have been professional, knowledgeable, skilled, polite, efficient , & timely in their response to me, every time I have utilized their services. Both times I had emergency situations arise, someone responded to my call right away-& I had a plumber at my house to fix the problem within an hour or 2 of contacting them. In addition to doing great work, they always thoroughly clean up their worksite-which in my experience, is a rarity. They were even great with my dog-who

Amazing company to work with! Our main sewer line broke to our home it. It was horrible! Windy City Rooter came out and installed a whole new main sewer line. They were professional and respectful through the whole process. Will recommend they to everyone! I would give them 10000000 stars if I could! Thank you guys!
In reading the negative reviews that others have written about them I am annoyed with how customers treat hard working tradesmen. People should be grateful that hard working companies like Windy City Rooter still are around. Everything with people now is about price. Well when I call

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

Windy City Rooter came out just a few hours after we had a flash flood. They unclogged a main drain within minutes. They also came back a few days later to upgrade our sump pump and install a back-up system, in which they were honest about our options and didn't try to up-sell us the most expensive option, but truly encouraged us to upgrade what was necessary so the flooding didn't happen again. Basically they got us the best bang for our buck without breaking the bank. They were professional, approachable, reliable, and efficient. I would recommend them to everyone I know.

They showed up on time, wearing masks and coverings over their shoes. They found and fixed my clog, but needed to cut into the ceiling since the waste pipe was frozen. They were unbelievably neat and not only swept up, but also wiped the floor down. Their prices were in line with anyone else, in fact, slightly less money.

Had an emergency with our sewer line on a Saturday night(late). Called 2 places that night and left messages. Called Windy City Rooter Sunday morning and they came out that day before either of the other places even returned my call. Great service and very understanding with the current times we are dealing with today.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

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.

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!!!!

Exceptionally good service. Windy City Rooters responded quickly to my call and came out immediately. All three workers--Joe, Brian, and Brandon--were courteous and efficient. They diagnosed the problem (blocked up sewer pipes), explained the solution to me, and then resolved the issue. The cost was very reasonable. And the dispatcher Dan was knowledgeable and witty.
I highly recommend Windy City Rooters.
