Juan from Go-Rooter was absolutely amazing, professional, informative, communicative, and friendly. He came to our rescue in an emergency the same day, hydro-jetted our main city sewer line and got everything working again, all at an affordable price. Definitely use his services for all your sewer needs! read more

Juan and crew did an excellent job adding water lines and a drain to where I wanted a sink. They tapped into the lines in a utility closet and did the wall penetrations on their initial trip. Once I got the cabinets and sink installed, they came back and finished the connections. They responded immediately when I submitted for bids and their work was really clean. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. read more

I had a clogged condensation drain pipe and needed someone to come fix it the night of (8pm). This and one other plumber was available out of several plumbers I called. He unclogged the drain pipe with ease. After leaving the job, I found that the T pipe got cracked and was leaking. We both were trying to find an open hardware store and he picked up after the first or second ring every time I called him. It was around 10pm and all hardware stores are closed. He came around 11pm with a temporary solution that mitigated the leak and fixed it within 30 minutes. He came by the following day at 2pm to apply the permanent fix. Everything works great. Conclusion: - Ivan is was very fast to respond to calls/texts. - Ivan always give an ETA prior to coming and is punctual on his ETA. - Ivan gets the job done in a timely manner. - He wear protective layer around his shoes so that it doesn't walk in the house with dirty shoes. read more

All the "24 hour emergency" numbers I called including this one is a joke! All I got was either no answers or leave a message after the beep or my three workers are out in other jobs or give me your number and someone will call you back later and this one --- let me shoot off an email to the plumbing dept and someone will get back to you!!! 24 hour emergency should mean right now and not later or next week. Guys. Take off the 24 hour emergency statement from your advertisement. It doesn't work!!!! read more

Called and a plumber came out within an hour. Professional and polite. Neat and cleaned up afterward. Unclogged the shower drain quickly. Thanks for good service! read more

I reached out to a "Professional Plumber company working with Homedepot'', each time they sent different technicians and they were unable to fix the issue due to the difficulties of the job even I paid ER fees. Lots of excuses each time when their technicians show up, which made me waited a whole week without hot water. Then I reached to Go-rooters team, within 3 days from the assessment to completion, they successfully helped me replaced my old water heater nice and tidy. Due to the space constraints, it's very difficult to move the 120-150 lbs water tank from the first floor to the second floor, but they made it and did a great job. Now the new water heater works perfectly. I would definitely highly recommend and would use them for future jobs. read more

Go Rooter just left my house and fixed a very clogged main sewage drain from my house to the street in one hour. Ivan was the technician. He was professional and efficient and neat and clean and very polite. Truly an exceptional service person! It cost exactly what I thought it would. No surprises there. I received the estimate before he did the work. He left the work area better than how he found it. Also, I called at 8:15 am and they were there by 9:45 am. Very punctual. Thanks to this company and Ivan. read more

Job well done, reliable, great value, responsive, professional. Thank you Juan and team for helping my family on short notice with our gas leak. We will definitely have you in mind for the other services you provide that we will need for the summer. read more

I've used Go-Rooter several times since 2017, and I'm finally leaving them a long overdue review for a recent job. I had a new bathroom sink installed by another company about a year ago and began experiencing issues with odors and slow drainage a few weeks ago. I called Go-Rooter to ask if they could take a look at it. Juan came the next day and fixed the issue on the spot. Apparently, the other company that installed my sink did not do it up to code, leading to the problems. They're courteous, professional and direct with pricing, which I appreciate. I've used them for big and small jobs. Last year, during a heavy storm right before the 4th of July holiday, they came to the rescue to repair my ejector pump as the water was creeping up my existing flood control system and spilling into the basement. I won't be calling anyone else anymore. read more

Juan and Ivan are such a pleasure to do business with. They are always prompt and professional, and I know that I can rely on them to respond when I need them! Truly the best plumbers I have ever worked with. read more

Alex's team came out and gave me a quote to replace a leaky spigot, their invoicing system gave me grief only because the notice kept popping up as a past due payment which was incorrect because the finished work was not completed yet. Other than that, Manny did a great job replacing the spigot, he removed the smallest amount of ceiling drywall to modify existing pipping to accommodate the new spigot. I would recommend then for any plumbing needs. read more

I'm a billboard at this point, but Juan is the only plumber I will go to as long as he is around. He gives me honest advice and tells me what I need to do and what I could do. He also stands by his work completely and if something doesn't work after he leaves, he comes back to make sure it is done right. Do not hesitate to call them read more

Excellent service, great value. The plumbers were efficient, courteous and responsive. They rodded the sewer via the clean out in my front yard. They worked hard to get rid of the root clogging the pipe using hydro cleaning. I was very happy with their work. I highly recommend this company. read more

Juan and his team were very professional and timely. My toilet was acting up, and I actually had another company come over to assess the issue. They were not able to, so I called Go-Rooter. Juan and team came over on time and figured out what was wrong. That was several months and I haven't had any issues since. I'd turn to them again for any plumbing needs. read more

Ivan and Pedro came out literally 20 mins after I called and unclogged a flooded basement. Fast, efficient and professional. They have all the right tools and professionalism for any job. Highly recommended. Fair price too. read more

So apparently, the not so warm weather is causing all sorts of plumbing issues around the city - go figure! When my toilet started to leak out of the blue, I panicked. I knew that my building didn't have weekend maintenance, but I didn't know how much worse this could possibly get. I called just about every highly-rated plumbing service I could. All of which were pleasant, helpful, and super swamped! When I originally called Go-Rooter, I was told there was a 4-hour window for someone to come out, but Juan was at my door in less than an hour. That is what I call emergency service! Unfortunately, my toilet is an ancient relic and any repairs I would need wouldn't be able to be done until the next day. By that time, my building's maintenance guy will be back on the clock, so I will opt to use him. However, I wanted to publicly note how quickly Go-Rooter and Juan responded to an emergency situation and how his explanation of my issue helped me to make it make sense to my own maintenance man. I'm going to cross my fingers and hope for the best, but Juan's card will be close and should I need a plumbing issue handled, I would absolutely call again! read more

Juan at Go-Rooter was beyond terrific in our most recent winter storm. We called Go-Rooter twice in a week for separate emergency issues. Juan came in person the first time and sent a very skilled crew (Ivan and Javier) the second time. Both visits were fast, professional, and knowledgeable. I'm especially grateful that we were able to get such an immediate response during a time when most 24-hour plumbers were too swamped with frantic customer calls to answer ours. Go-Rooter will be my FIRST call from here on out. Thanks again to all of you! read more

I called Go Rooter because of a leaky faucet. I've used them before and have been pleased with their work. After checking out the problem, their plumber told me it was a faulty cartridge that would need to be replaced, and the charge would be $384 for labor and material. More than a little shocked at the price he quoted, I asked him how much the part was, to which he replied $68. So, I said, incredulously, you want over $300 to switch out the cartridge? Well, he replied, you have to know what you're doing. Wait, what!!?? I need to find a new plumber from now on....anyone out there know how to change a faucet cartridge? read more

I rarely write reviews but Juan and his team needed an immediate 5 star review because of how great they were. They arrived 30 mins earlier than the anticipated arrival time, diagnosed the problem quickly, were transparent and very reasonable about pricing, but more importantly they cleared a blockage from our condo building that two other plumbing services were unable to clear so quickly. I will definitely be using their services again. read more

We had Juan come out and install a utility sink on short notice (and a holiday weekend as well). We called the day before and he came out to look at the area and see what tools and equipment he would need. Juan arrived early the next day and while he only thought the job would take a few hours, it turned into almost a full day affair. Juan never complained and still came in on budget. Juan and his apprentice were awesome. Juan took the time to explain things to us; he was patient with our indecision on where our sink should go; and he went above and beyond installing a washer that was on our to do list. He was kind, courteous, and above all - professional. Having worked with numerous contractors recently, Juan was a breath of fresh air. We are so glad that we went with Juan at Go Rooter that Juan is our first call for additional plumbing projects we have in the works. I would highly recommend him. read more

Juan and team did an amazing job hooking up our clawfoot tub. I thought I could remove the old drain and do it myself, hours later, sweaty and frustrated I threw in the towel and emailed Go Rooter. They responded in 10 mins. They were here within hours and the job was done in no time. I should have called them first. The price was right, the work was perfect. Juan even called me back a few days later to make sure there were no leaks and I was happy. Couldn't have been more satisfied. Highly recommend Go Rooter! read more

Juan and team were awesome all around. Gave me a quote and a time frame and stuck to it- super helpful when you have tenants that need updates. He even offered to come back to finish the fixture adjustment after the shower install. Will use for all my units in the future! read more

After checking Yelp reviews, gave Juan a call to get a quote on replacing my garbage Disposal. Since I'd already purchased the unit from Home Depot and saw Juan's $40 discount coupon, he quoted me $285 total for the job. The next day at 8:30 AM he sent a two man crew and they finished the job in a little more than an hour. Complete cleanup and courteous service at a fair price. I'll use these guys again if I need plumbing work done. read more

Can't recommend this company enough! We had an emergency plumbing issue and they were incredibly responsive and available to fix the job within a reasonable timeframe. They were also super communicative throughout the entire process. They will be our go-to from here on out. read more

These guys are amazing! I had a small leak coming from my kitchen faucet. I called them on Saturday and they showed up the same day. They fixed the leak on the spot and were incredibly reasonable. They explained everything very thoroughly and were very professional and nice. I will definitely use them again for any future plumbing needs. 5++++ starts! read more

Alex and his team was flexible in finding a date/time that worked for our schedules. We had commercial building with a very high water bill for the past year. Alex visited the basement and all the tenants' sinks and toilets. It ended up being a broken flap in the toilet tank on one of the floors that has not been occupied since the pandemic started - literally the water was going down the drain nonstop. We will find out if this was the issue in a couple of months when I get the next water bill, but I will be asking for Alex again if I have any other plumbing issues. read more

I had a leaking garbage disposal that was installed incorrectly by another company. Go rooter responded very quickly to my call and fixed the problem almost immediately . The whole process took less than 24 hours. Talk about great service. They were very professional and I highly recommend. Thanks for giving me my sink back! read more

Came within time frame (it was an emergency call after 8pm) and was able to fix problem on the spot. Will use them again.

I can't say enough good things about Go-Rooter. When our pipes froze on this historically cold day in Chicago (-20 deg/-45 wind chill) they arrived in 30 minutes to take care of the problem. They were personable, professional, and spoke in terms we could understand. I felt like they really knew what they were talking about and their rates were totally fair. We won't trust anyone else with our plumbing issues. Thank you for saving our pipes!! read more

Customer Service The problem needed to be resolved the day of my call (tenant unit) Of all the 24/7 plumber service reviews, Go-Rooter reviews convinced me. To my disappointment, three hours later, I received a call back. Polite answering service takes your information. Next, be prepared for the possibility of waiting three hours for a call back. My problem was time sensitive: I called back twice. First time, just to get a sense of when someone would call me to explain the problem. Second time to find out if they would be able to dispatch someone today (because if their swamped with work I need to find another company). Answering service only forwards the message. 3 hours later I got a call but I had retained another company. Simply prepare for the possibility of a 3 hour wait for a call back. Have a plan B. read more

These guys are literally life saviors. A few days ago, I smelled gas coming out of the connection with my cooktop but I couldn't detect a leak. So I reached out to another company and they came and said nothing was wrong even though it was stated they could smell gas. So I then reached out to my gas company and they sent someone who pointed out a few different leaks in my pipe. I then frantically tried to find someone who could come out the same day to address. I made a call to Go Rooter and within 3 hours, a technician was out to my house and fixed my issue. I'm so thankful for the quick work. The technician took the time to explain what he did which I appreciated. I will definitely be keeping this company in mind in the future! read more

If you have any other plumber on your phone go ahead and delete it... I've been using a neighborhood plumber who I now know was a rip off cuz of the service Go Rooter gives... These guys came out and didn't leave until they knew what the problem was and fixed it... They explained what was happening and solved a really big problem for me, oh and yes best price... they don't just rod ur sewers, they do it over and over until the line is 100% clear and clean.... I will never call anyone else..... GREAT JOB BOYS!!!!!! read more

Juan came out in 90 minutes for a completely stopped up shower drain. He was the "second opinion" after another plumber refused to so much as touch the system with a rod without making a $1200 and 5-hour repair to our (admittedly awful) overflow system. Juan got the job done in 15 minutes. I'm probably calling him back to make some other nagging fixes to the tub. read more

Juan is responsive and more than fair. He came at 8PM when our ejector pump failed and stayed until 11PM to get it done. It was not a pleasant task, but he did it well and with a good attitude. I called him again to figure out a mysterious leak, and in two seconds he saw that it was coming from the furnace humidifier. We have to call the HVAC people for that. Since he doesn't work on furnace equipment, he didn't even charge us! read more

Highly recommended. I had giant grease clog that was backing water up into my tenants apartment. Had a few plumbing companies drop by to find and fix it but none could figure out the issue and one even had a malfunctioning auger. Good thing i found Juan on Yelp and found the source of problem. He even provided me a temporary fix. The repairs was a little pricy but reasonable and honest and if they promise the issue will be resolved in 2-3 days they mean it. I also have to compliment them on their cleaness and willingness to take the trash out. Other places I've used would leave trash all over the place for me to clean. Without a doubt Go rooter will be my go to place for plumbing from now on. read more

After waiting a full day for another company to even respond to give an estimate for a malfunctioning water heater, Juan from Go-Rooter came out within 25 minutes. Then came back the next day to complete the work and did a great job. Price may be a bit on the higher side, but with an issue like this (being without hot water for 2 full days), the timely service and quality was definitely worth it for me. I think I've found a new local plumbing company I can trust, contact them with confidence. read more

Had an issue with the sink backing up in the kitchen. Ivan came out same day and fixed the issue. Very nice, clean, and helpful. Quoted me a very fair price. read more

These guys were great, couldn't have had a better response. We had a sudden clogged drain from our hvac condenser and it caused a backup in our utility room and the nearby carpet, so we needed something fast. We placed a lot of requests that night and Alex from Go Rooter was the first to call us back. The same-day emergency charge was steep ($180) but worth getting it handled immediately. Alex was super friendly, explained the issue, how to prevent it, and didn't mind our dog! They offer a 30 day warranty on their work, although I'm not sure what exactly that covers. read more

Juan is fast, reliable and does good work. He checks back in often to make sure that you are totally satisfied. He did an amazing jump installing our new sink and vanity and even corrected a bad job someone else (not from his company) did installing our back gate. We will certainly call on him again. Thanks Juan! read more

My plumber was Juan Zarate - great communication skills, prompt, and knew what he was doing. I had an issue when Juan finished the job because of some shoddy work that was done by a separate plumber, and Juan came back (twice!) without hesitation. Great service. Thank you. read more
