    The cleaning crew.
    Louie N.

    2 days ago I requested a free estimate to clean my sewer basin via telephone with Caitlyn. She stated a tech should be at home between 10a-12p yesterday though tech, Johnny, didn't show up until a few minutes after. I was ok with that since Caitlyn called beforehand and informed me of tardiness. Johnny was nice, friendly, professional. He stated it would be $650 to clean it and that it wasn't as bad as some of the others he has seen. The quote is in the same range the prior 2 estimates were. I liked Johnny's vibe better. He left and I called the office and was told they could do it in an hour. Of course I agreed. 1 hour and 12 minutes later Johnny came with the crew that cleans the basin. They were nice too. They were in and out in 30 minutes and my basin looks way better minus that smell. I would use them again. (I took pics of sewer but didn't come out right).

    I've been meaning to post this review for quite some time. We had a break in our sewer line and I authorized Chicago sewer experts to dig up the pipe and repair it. During the digging, they discovered a flood control system that was never disclosed to us when we bought the house as it was buried under the front porch out of sight. We actually didn't have a break in our line, but rather the flood control back flow valve had rusted in a semi-open position due to lack of maintenance over the years. With our yard half dug up and our sewer system being off-line there's a lot of pressure to make a decision to get the work done. The price that was quoted seemed extremely high, but I didn't feel I had time to do any shopping for alternative quotes and they knew it. What really irritated me was the fact that after installation of the flood control system we had to wait for things to settle before the piles of dirt could be put back in our front yard put back in some sort of ordinary appearance. We had paid half upfront for the repair and installation with the balance due just before completion of the work. I was promised multiple times by Brandon and Joe Kovalsky that they would be back to complete the job and I needed to pay the balance on the uncompleted work because they promised they would complete it. I lobbied to pay a half of the remaining balance, and the final amount upon full completion of the job. Joe insisted and promised they would be back to complete it. At the time I was undergoing cancer treatments & was a no position to move all this heavy dirt in March underneath the porch and back into our yard. The bottom line is, they never returned and never put our porch back together or filled in the dirt as they had promised. My wife had to do the work the repeated calls to them went unanswered. I know they feel like they cheated me as they did on doing this work professionally and they lied and did not do what they said they were going to do as they have never re-contacted me and never offered to do annual maintenance on the system. I wouldn't trust them anymore to do any professional work on my house, nor should you

    Thank you Mike and Ed! Ejector pump was running more frequently and seemed like ground water was coming in. They quickly went over to the main sump pump which they realized had failed causing the water to look for another way out. These guys are pros and the company was super quick to respond. What else can you ask for in a plumbing service? Thanks.

    I recently hired Chicago Sewer & Drain Professionals, Inc. after reading great reviews on both…read moreGoogle and Yelp, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. My kitchen sink was draining incredibly slowly, and my previous attempts to fix it just weren't working. From the very first phone call, the team was professional and easy to work with. Scheduling the appointment was a breeze, and I was given a courtesy call on the day of service with an estimated arrival time, which ended up being earlier than expected. I really appreciated the heads-up, as it worked out just fine for my schedule. When the plumbers arrived, they were prompt, courteous, and took the time to ask about the issue before assessing the situation. They gave me a reasonable verbal quote and got to work right away, completing the service the same day. I also liked that they accept credit card payments, making the whole process even more convenient. Thanks to Chicago Sewer & Drain, my kitchen sink is back to normal, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Would I hire them again? Absolutely! Would I recommend them? 100%

    Stay away from this company. They cannot be trusted, they left my house destroyed with 10 holes all…read moreover my laundry room and a basement bathroom after paying 12,000. We initially contacted the company to fix a clogged kitchen sink. Before they arrived, we clearly explained that rodding had already been attempted and did not work, and that we needed someone equipped with a camera inspection to locate the clog. When they arrived, they insisted on trying rodding again, saying their machine was more powerful. After several hours, the clog remained. My stairs carpet was full of mud after they left.. They returned another day to troubleshoot, but the camera they had was too large to see inside the pipes which again we had requested a thinner one from the start. Tomas indicated that they needed to do one , two small openings max to locate the clogged pipe. However, this escalated to ten holes throughout the laundry room walls and ceiling, as well as the basement bathroom walls and ceiling. He changed a pipe in the bathroom for no reason. To justify that he opened holes on the bathroom tha had nothing to do with the kitchen sink? Eventually, they discovered that the pipe leading to the outside of the house was collapsed. The solution was to excavate under the house, outside concrete stairs, under deck to fix the pipe. My husband proposed the solution to reroute the kitchen drain through the laundry room floor to connect to the city pipe. They said they needed to come next day to hydrojet and find the city pipe, plus 3 days to do the work. The quoted $12,000 which we felt was a lot of money but we had no kitchen sink for over a week now, 10 holes on the house, and not thinking clearly at this point. We accepted given the stressful situation, we agreed and paid $6,000 upfront. The work was completed in less than eight hours (versus 3 days) far less time and effort than represented. He promised us before starting that he will send someone to cover all the holes. Well he never sent anyone. After a couple weeks we texted and he gave us some BS excuse that he wanted to make sure he sent someone good, didn't mater the cost. A month later, same story, that the job is to small foe him to find someone (10 hold is small? I cannot imagine how much wrost could have been if we let him excavate towards the outside of the house. In summary he can't be trusted, his words means nothing. Do not pay him until you are satisfied. I File a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and he didn't even answered, that is how much he cares. So i am going to leave this review in every place they are advertised and every moms, community facebook pages from north riverside to 10 miles around.

Two guys showed up and first power rodded the drain about 15 feet but couldn't go further because was worried it would scratch our thin PVC pipes. Then he camera scoped about 8 feet but then still worried it would damage the PVC pipes. I was disappointed we couldn't go further but I suppose it is what it is. He did clean out a good amount of tree roots and said that was probably the biggest blockage and though we couldn't see the rest, it will probably be OK. He said our pipes looked in OK condition, no holes as far as he could see. He was very nice and answered all of our questions. They did wear booties into the house but like every other contractor, they also wear the booties outside and then back inside everytime they go inside and outside. It was wet outside so some mud was tracked in all the way by the two people. Like I said, this seems to happen with all contractors, just a little nuisance to clean up afterwards. But overall, pleased with the service. They had competitive rates, $485 for the power rod and $200 for the camera. Will call them next time (maybe in 5 years?) when we need another cleaning. Thanks!

I was quoted $2200 to repair however because they were not able to save my cabinets in my kitchen. I was only told that I needed to pay $1400 with giving me a 10% discount, and still end up paying $1260. My kitchen looks terrible. There's a hole in my home. They advised me that they could come back to put the kitchen back if I would purchase my cabinets and other expenses again...marerial & everything but their labor would be $2600! I felt like I've been ripped off already, I'm a first time homebuyer. I do not recommend this company if you do not want to be screwed I will not have them to come back to my home after having two other plumbers come here to ask me did they charge me $300 or did they charge me $500? I was too embarrassed to tell them what I paid! But I knew I was screwed so please be aware Every one ladies especially!!Because this is what your property will look like in the end!!! I have to hire another company to fix this horrible hole in my home! and install a whole kitchen in my apartment and also my basement unit was damaged during this process as well. I'll upload pictures of both. I haven't been able to eat for the whole weekend. It is very expensive trying to feed me and my artistic Son! And it looks like we're gonna have to eat out for the whole week now because that's how long it'll take someone to get back in here to fix this mess for me. Just please be aware! I'm really having a rough time over here and this is the outcome of their terrible work. Oh, I must add that I paid cash for all these people to come and look into my home! This company was paid first! And I'm out of $2700 already not even including the repairs!!
