We have used Advantage Plumbing on a number of occasions. They are a terrific company. They're very knowledgeable, polite, and get the job done. Their rates are very reasonable. A special call out to Angie, the office manager, who took the time to find out when our last visit was. If you need a plumber, don't hesitate. Call them. read more

Anthony, with the super awesome mustache, is a great and knowledgeable person to work with.

Caleb came out to take care of an issue that a prior plumber had created. He fixed the problem right away with our shower and was professional and courteous. Great service from Advantage! read more

Had septic backup through a floor drain, called this company on a weekend to come have a look. Technician showed up promptly, stuck around for an hour or two, tried rodding a clean out but gave up before actually fixing the problem. Technician said i needed to have the pipes hydro jetted for 1700$ or replaced for 17,000$ in just one section! After finishing, he handed me an 800$ bill and basically didn't tell me anything other then I have a blockage without fixing the problem. Next business day I called my normal septic company, who came out and actually fixed the issue for 100$. Would definitely not recommend this company. read more

Fast response removal, replacement and repair. Professional, courteous, clean and very kind. Gave estimate and billed accordingly. Will have Advantage back next week for additional long put off repairs. Quality work. Ask for "Edward Plumber Hands " - the best. Thank you for the excellent result read more

Advantage - Back of shower / tub faucet fixture removal and replacement. - Plumbing Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

See all

I was really happy with their work. We had an outside spigot that broke and we were forced to turn off the water to our home. Next morning the guy was at our home at 8 AM and replaced the spigot, added a shut off valve for the spigot and ended up replacing our master shutoff valve (ours failed to stop the water completely). It wasn't cheap but EXCELLENT work; the guy didn't have an additional shut off valve but said next time he was in the area he would honor the lower price. Less than one week later he came back and replaced that additional shut off valve. Again, it was expensive but cheaper than Black Diamond and the work was timely and top quality. read more

I usually never give reviews but felt the need to do give these guys a review. We had a leak in our basement and called Advantage. What's great about this place is that they're super responsive and were able to send a really friendly plumber over right away. What the biggest issue I have with these guys is we spent almost $300 for an hour of the plumbers time to find the issue and essentially block the issue but not fix it. So essentially I spent $300 for the guy to put a stop to the leak and now got a quote from another plumber who said he'll actually fix the issue in $250 and said we should've called him first. The other plumber I called actually laughed when I said that Advantage came in and stopped the issue but didn't fix it and asked well why didn't they fix It? For $300 you would expect the issue to be resolved. So I'm very disappointed with this place and would not recommend them. Again, the plumber was nice. And seemed knowledgeable. But I don't know why we paid so much money for our issue to not get resolved. read more

Edward was here to fix our sump Pump. He was very informative explained what he needed to do. Price was very reasonable. Will recommend them to friends. read more

I had an unfortunate situation where our waterheater had a significant leak and we needed to replace quickly Jodi from Advantage responded via Yelp very quickly and scheduled us with an appointment for 130pm the next day and would try to get us in earlier if possible The techs arrived at 10 am and walked us through our options. From the option conversation through cometion of work was less than 90 minutes and that included picking up the water heater from another location I thought the communication was great, prices reasonable and employees friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new water heater read more

I called Advantage for a second opinion about an issue we were having with hot water pressure in our shower. The first plumber I spoke with very quickly diagnosed the issue with the most extreme fix necessary (having to replace the entire shower fixture since it was "blown out" and would "only get worse") and tried to pressure me into the sale. Andrey Krysko, from Advantage, actually took components apart, examined them, and methodically outlined his approach. He was not trying to sell me anything, he was trying to fix our problem--he also did not make me feel incompetent when I said that I would buy parts on my own--"That's what you should do--it's much cheaper," he told me... We had to have two follow up visits, the first with Tyler, and the last with Tyler and Chuck. They were efficient, tidy, and clearly described what they were doing and why, and showed us pictures of issues they discovered. We now have a shower that works better than it has in years, with a year warranty on parts and labor. All at HALF the cost I was quoted by the first plumber I spoke with. Thank you Andrey, Tyler and Chuck! read more

Excellent response time, clear explanation, and friendly service. Edward and Maria were great to work with, and they made the process easy and stress-free. Our issue was repaired on time and the end result is top-class. I'll call on them for my future plumbing needs. read more

It was so easy to get an appointment via "Yelp quotes" and they were able to get me in the next day. Scott called ahead and arrived on time and did an excellent job fixing my toilet clog. Highly recommend!!! read more

Almost hit me while I was putting groceries in my car and left their vehicle in the handicap spot. It speaks for character when you have no cares for others and are driving around in an advertised company vehicle. read more

Advantage - Plumbing Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

I've used Advantage 4/5 times and here is what you get: -Great appointment setting w/flexible times. -Great punctuality w/ heads up calls. -Phenomenal plumbing staff who are over and above professional and honest. -Wonderfully frank and honest advice, which isn't trying to bilk you. - Ok/normal pricing. Look, if you're looking for the lowest price on plumbing, this isn't going to hit the mark, but if you want uber professional/Uber capable people who'll leave you at ease, just call and pay the money bc it's 1st class. My last visit from Shorty (yes, he's like 6'8"...) was exceptional. Guy was so patient, knowledgeable, and respectful of my place and time. I can't say enough about him. Cost of example: Had to rout out a powder room sink with professional machine, fix a fairly minor toilet issue w/ parts, and was here probably 2 hrs w/ consultation on other plumbing questions I had- 340$. read more

Had slightly slow drains for two days and when I came back from as work Friday mid-day sewer had pushed up into my utility room. Advantage Plumbing took my call and send Josh within just a little more than two hours. He checked the main sewer and that was not an issue. So the toilet was pulled and upon inspection of the pipes from the inside of the house found what looked like a grease clog. Since I fairly recently bought the house I'm assuming it was there quite some time... I'm very happy with the customer service and the prompt dispatch, Josh's professional work and advice for the future were very welcome. Can only recommend this company and the great employees! Thank you very much! read more

We called Advantage to do a preventative maintenance check on our sump pump. Mark was at our door right on time, and truly saved us big time!! He discovered a major problem with our sump pump and was able to fix it right then and there. We were truly astonished. My husband Matt has had other plumbers come out for an annual check and nobody found any issue. We are so thankful for Mark. Because of his diligence and thoroughness, it saved us thousands of dollars. He was shocked we hadn't flooded yet (that's how bad it was!), and said if it wasn't for our other pump, this would not be a good situation. We are so thankful to him. Thanks Mark! You saved my family and I a lot of headaches! read more

I had a problem that I was unable to figure out around sitting water in my vent ducts. Ben came on time and spent an hour diagnosing the issue. After great lengths to determine a cause; The issue was determined that it was not a plumbing issue but rather HVAC or siding/concrete foundation leak. The fact that he spent helping and then offering suggestions indicates to be that expertise they have if I had the issue. I plan to use them going forward read more

Woke up this morning to trickling water coming out of our kitchen faucet due to the sub-zero temps. Four Seasons/Advantage was the only company that I could get a hold of on a Sunday in an emergency situation. The first plumber from Advantage came out a few hours later. He diagnosed where he believed our pipe was frozen, but he didn't have the correct equipment on this truck. So, he called a colleague on another call and asked him to come by. Before that, he talked through our issue with us and quoted us a price. Yes, the price was hefty, but it's a Sunday and we're in a winter advisory with dangerous temps. Everyone else is off work, but not these guys. And, thankfully, we have heat and we have power and the pipes didn't burst. So, yeah, I can agree to that price. The 2nd gentleman arrived a little more than hour later. He came in with the machine, talked through everything with us, and place the pipe thawing machine (which looked a lot like jumper cables) on our pipes. I'm not kidding, within a minute we heard this loud clunk and our water came soaring through the faucets. It took him longer to bring the machine in and set it up than it did to clear the frozen piece of ice from the pipe! Before he left, he gave us more tips to ensure this doesn't happen again. I feel too often people come on here to leave reviews when they're not happy with service. So, I wanted to be sure I left them a positive review. I wish I had gotten both employees' names, but I didn't because I was in so distraught at not having water for 8 hours. So, thank you to Advantage Plumbing for having emergency services, for sending out 2 wonderful technicians who were incredibly kind and professional, and thank you for fixing our problem so efficiently. read more

These guys are great! They did some work on our toilets 18 months ago. Due to our hard water, the toilets started acting up again. I called. They came out the next day and fixed everything for free! The original work had a 12 month warranty and the new issue clearly wasn't their fault. Talk about excellent customer service! read more

Ben K. was our service technician who came to our aid when our basement floor started having puddles of water. He was very thorough in inspecting the gutters around the house and checking both the sump pump and the backup sump pump. Ben was able to accurately diagnose the cause of the issue and performed the work professionally and quickly to prevent water from entering the basement in the future. Highly recommend! read more

I called Advantage after hours and received a call back first thing the next morning. Ben K came out that day to replace the leaking pipes under the kitchen sink & install a new faucet. He also observed an outdated valve with potential to fail on our main shutoff. Working with the city's utility dept, Ben resolved that issue as well. Ben is an experienced, personable, & respectful professional who performed quality work for us at the quoted price. We won't hesitate to call him / Advantage again when future plumbing issues arise. read more

We needed to replace a toilet and a bathtub toe stopper. I reached the office right away and got a plumber out very quickly. Great job.

Wow!! I had an plumbing and sewer emergency about a month ago, a main line of the sewer was backing up into my laundry and furnace room. As a somewhat newer home owner I was at a loss and in a panic and just called around until I found someone that could help me sooner rather than later. Well, Advantage Plumbing and Sewer came to my rescue. From the initial phone call to the completion of the job at my house, they were nothing but helpful, punctual, and offered five star customer service. Ben was the gentleman that was sent to help me. Let me tell you, Ben is simply amazing. From the start he put my mind at ease that everything would be okay, he was beyond friendly, his experience spoke volumes, and you better believe that if I need any plumbing help in the future, I'm calling and asking for Ben! Thank you for making a crappy situation a little less crappy. Five stars all around! read more

My sister wrote a review for this business today. I have to agree with every word! They were great! Kudos to Kim, Michael, and Justin! Bravo! Fixed our furnace quickly! Thawing out nicely now! Thanks Advantage! read more

I came home to a faulty pump in our basement and called advantage plumbing due to their stellar reviews online. They did not disappoint! Ben the technician came by within the hour on a Friday night and diagnosed the problem quickly. He had to dig up the lid to our drainage area and clean out a whole bunch of sediment that was tampering with our measuring system causing a back up of drainage. Our basement could have flooded, but luckily Ben caught the problem in time. Highly recommend Advantage, ask for Ben he's a pro! read more

It was an easy decision going with advantage plumbing from the start. Scott was by far the most knowledgeable and responded to the urgency of our situation with clear concise options. He's honest, professional and creative by offering more than one solution to a plumbing dilemma. I'd definitely recommend them to a friend read more

Three hours before the scheduled appointment time, I got a call from Advantage saying they couldnt make it. The reason? Their plumbers are all busy on emergency calls (the ones that get up-charged with 'emergency' fees, of course). Their next available appointment was in a week. When I complained, the manager's idea of a solution was to refer me to Four Seasons, which she says they do in situations like these. The lesson learned from this is that unless you have an emergency, dont call these people: they will book you and cancel you as soon as they get a job they can charge more for. The fact that they routinely refer their over-booked clients to their biggest competitor speaks volumes. read more

Called for some minor plumbing things (shower cartridge, shower arm, tub spout and a couple other things). Half of the work wasn't completed and some was not done right. They came back out the next week to fix things done poorly. Just received another bill for things they screwed up! What a joke. Will never use them again and would not recommend! Very expensive for crap work!! read more

Had a pipe in my drywall and called them for service. Manny got there in 20 mins. Was friendly and honest. Showed me the issue, problem solved, and made sure to fix everything with minimal damage to the drywall. Gave suggestions and advice to prevent and made sure everything was properly winterized. Will for sure use them again. Manny was one of the best service people that I've ever dealt with! read more

I called Advantage to help with a kitchen leak and broken disposal in my condo. They worked to set up a time that was convenient, showed up on time as promised and completed the work in a friendly manner. I've never had to call on a plumber before, as I usually do my own repairs, but Advantage did a great job and I'd highly recommend them. read more

Responsive, reasonable, and thorough. Arrived on time. Had all needed parts in his truck.

I woke up to a cold shower. Advantage responded quickly and provided the best price. The technician came in and gave no flack for having to wear a mask. I highly recommend Advantage for your plumbing needs read more

Last Sunday night, at around 12:30 p.m., my uncle called for a clogged toilet to be cleared. This is the only toilet in his apartment and he is over 70 years old. Advantage Plumbing was there within the time frame and cleared the clog. Thank you for taking care of this in a timely fashion. My uncle could not wait until morning as two other plumbers (one advertising 24 hour service) would not help him. Definitely appreciate the quick response. read more

We are always pleased with the work Advantage does for us! Previously they fixed a leaky outdoor spigot and installed water shut off valves, and now they fixed a clogged bathtub. They always explain the problem and answer our questions. Joe was very helpful, friendly, and professional! We know we can count on quality work with Advantage. read more

Jason from Advantage fixed our water heater today. It was leaking into our basement. He was incredibly quick, arrived within an hour of our emergency call... we were hoping to just get someone in soon, but couldn't believe it when he knocked on our door so fast. He was able to assess the problem and fix it, with tools on hand, within about 30 minutes. Excellent communication, super nice guy, very fair price. As new home owners, we were nervous about who to call or trust. We are very satisfied. They'll get our business again for sure. read more

We had bought a new home a few years ago and had been having plumbing issues intermittently. We tried a few different companies but had no luck until we found Advantage. The Advantage team was by far the most friendly, competent and efficient plumbing company we have ever used for our home. Ben basically lived at our house for 2 days to straighten out all of the issues we had experienced and brought all of bathrooms / sinks up to code. Ben is incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we understood what he was doing every step of the way. I have much more confidence in our plumbing now and will definitely be recommending Ben and his team to all of our friends. A good plumber is very hard to find and Advantage has exceeded our expectations with every interaction we have had with them. read more

I have used Advantage for a few different issues in our house. Mark comes out quickly and takes care of the issues. He never tries to take advantage of my plumbing ignorance. read more
