They were very professional. I had three companies come and give me quotes. One only sent me a partial quote. Another gave me a quote over the phone without ever coming to my home. Fettes, Love & Sieben were the only company that come to my home and gave me a detailed quote of all the costs we might incur when they came to fix the problems. They came right on time and fixed all the problems. Although our sump pump was not failing yet, we were happy that we decided to go with a new primary and secondary pump along with the backup system because it ended up both our ejector pump (which was already beginning to fail) and our primary pump (we did not have a secondary pump) were cheap hardware store pumps installed by the builder ten years ago. It probably saved us money in the long run replacing the whole system now rather than adding a backup system to an old system that would probably fail in the next few years. We added the high water alarms because after finishing our basement just two years ago, we suffered a flood when Chicago experienced the big storm in August of 2007 and our power was out for three days. Neither our builder or our contractor who finished the basement thought of adding a battery backup system to protect us from such an occurrence. Then six months later after paying $15,000 to repair the basement, we suffered another small flood when the ejector pump failed. The basement is a tough spot to catch a leak until the damage is already done. Therefore, we had the two high water alarms added as yet another protection. They also did a very nice job of replacing the faucets. They were timely, courteous, clean and overall very pleasant to work with. We were very happy with their work!!
Description of Work: I called to have a battery backup system installed for our sump pump, to investigate why our basement ejector pump was overflowing sometimes and to fix a long-time leak in our master bathroom sink. They came out the day after I called and had a quote for me the next day. After discussing different options, they ended up installing a new primary and secondary sump pump with a battery back-up system. They also installed a new ejector pump in the basement. They added two high water alarms in the mechanical room as one more fail safe measure against any leaks from these systems or a failed hot water heater. They also installed two new faucets in the master bathroom.

Response from Fettes Love & Sieben Inc
I AM UNSURE IF THIS IN REGARDS TO OUR WORK BASED ON TIMING AND JOB COST. WE DID PERFORM WORK AT 7500 N RIDGE IN FEB 2007 (18 MONTHS AGO) DUE TO DAMAGE CAUSED BY A HEAVY FREEZE. THE TOTAL FOR THIS WORK WAS $1,274 (NOT $2,000). AS FAR AS ANY MESS THAT HAD TO BE CLEANED UP, THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT. IF IT WAS A MESS CAUSED OR LEFT DUE TO WORK WE DID, WE MOST CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE SENT SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF IT AT NO CHARGE IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT IT. IF IT WAS MESS DUE TO WATER LEAKAGE CAUSED BY THE FREEZE, THE PLUMBER WOULD NOT HAVE CLEANED THIS UP UNLESS THE CUSTOMER SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED THAT IT BE DONE, AS MOST PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO PAY PLUMBER'S WAGES FOR CLEANUP THAT CAN BE DONE IN A MORE COST EFFECTIVE (AND MORE PROFESSIONAL) MANNER BY A CLEANING SERVICE.

After calling about 15 places, I finally found these guys based on the info here. I called them up, got a hold of a guy who set an appointment for a day or two later and with no monkey business was all set. I knew I had a bad water heater, knew what the problem was, and went out and got an AO Smith Replacement heater which was sitting in my garage. A few hours after my initial call, the same man from the company called me and said they had a cancellation, and could get someone to my house in about an hour (about 3 hours after my very first call to their office). The service person showed up on time, was professional and methodically worked through getting my old one out and the new one in. I helped a bit, which was no problem to make it easier on him and me (starting to drain the tank before he arrived and a few other things). All in all, things went very well. Could have been cleaner, especially concerning the carpet and could have worked more efficiently, but would use these guys again and would recommend. From the first phone call to the conclusion of the project, they get a thumbs up.
Description of Work: Took out old water heater and put in new one, had to navigate very tight clearance and disconnect stuff. Would have done it myself, but when it comes to gas appliances, not a smart thing to do. No price is quoted because I just received my service and have yet to receive my bill

Great. This is a full union company which stands behind their work. They wanted to use a cast iron receiving pipe, which is sturdier than the terra cotta based industry standard pipe. Also wanted to secure to the foundation. No mention of required permit.

He fixed the faucet immediately and since he was there, I asked him if he could swap my soap dispenser and garbage disposal button on either side of the faucet. He did, very quickly and now the handle of the faucet doesn't get in the way of the soap dispenser, which was driving me crazy.
Description of Work: My kitchen faucet was loose and moving around.

He cracked the toilet while trying to remove it. He completed the sewer inspection, then immediately went to a plumbing supply store, retrieved a new toilet and installed it, all free of charge.
Description of Work: New home purchase, our home inspector recommended a plumbing contractor evaluate the sewer. FLS arrived on time, ran a camera as far as they could on the exterior, then had to go via a toilet inside.

It went very well. When they took the shower faucets apart we didn't know it but a leak started and it actually caused damage to my building. I called them back in and they said they are willing to work with me to fix the costs. I will always use them. They are prompt, and very polite. He is very professional and he cleans up after himself. I trust him enough to leave him there when I'm off to work.
Description of Work: Most recently they replaced an old kitchen faucet with a new sprayer. They completed installation of a bathroom pedestal sink. They also looked at a job to replace shower faucets.

I had called them because my toilet was overflowing. They had to come back to fix the toilet and when they came back they also rodded the sewer line. When they did this they lost the snake in the pipe so they actually had to come back two weeks later and break out part of my basement to get it.

The guy from this place had to go to his truck several times for equipment and the kicker is his battery died so my husband had to jumpstart his truck!

I like them and they did a great job. They were very neat and cleaned up after themselves. They don't leave a mess around and really try to disturb the house as little as possible. I do plan on using them again for service in the future. The approximate cost listed breaks down for the first job to $1,000 (which was extensive because of the work they had to do in the wall and with cutting pipes) and the second job was $300.00.
Description of Work: I've used them twice. They came last year when I was having water coming into my basement any time we took a bath or a shower. They fixed that and I no longer have this problem anymore. I had a leak in the sink of my basement bathroom that they fixed for me as well. They took out a grease trap in the basement and new that it was not required Code for the city of Chicago. They also fixed the faucet as well because you could only get hot water, it is now working the right way. I think they also did a few other minor jobs for me when they were here as well. I used them a second time a month ago because I was getting water in my basement from my outside drain. They routed it out and actually found a baseball in my drain. He routed it out to the city sewer and I haven't had any water from the spring rains at all this year. They cleaned it all out and even gave my son back his baseball that he had dropped in the sewer.

Late for appointments the first two times, on days when I had to be at work in the morning, so I couldn t afford for them to be late; 40 minutes early for the last appointment, but didn t call ahead to warn me. Said they d order a part for my toilet, then never called back. I called them back over 2 years later to order the part and finish the work (they had to send someone out again to get the information to order the part). Installed more parts in my toilet (actually everything inside the tank) than they said they would, but only told me after the work was done. Didn t itemize anything on the bill they sent me, just had a total and the Angie s List discount. I didn t know how much the bill would be until it came in the mail; the plumber who did the work didn t tell me. Last plumber, one who actually installed parts, was not the most agreeable person (responded to questions defensively).

They did a great job. Not only solved the problem, but provided excellent service. Took extra care to cut as small of a hole as possible in the cabinet. Spent the time to figure out what the pipes looked like behind the cabinet before cutting. I am extremely pleased with their work.

I am very pleased with the professional manner and the level of service I received from Mark, John and especially the plumbers Chuck and Donna. Chuck and Donna were punctual and they cleaned up after the job.
Description of Work: Tenant on the 3rd floor smelled gas. The gas company discovered a leak and shut-off the gas. I called Mark at Fettes, Love & Sieben. They sent Chuck, a plumber, out within 24 hours. Chuck is very qualified and conscious. He worked diligently Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday by himself. On Wednesday, we thought we had solved the problem. The gas company representatives came out and found another leak. I called Mark. He sent Chuck out again on Thursday. Chuck discovered a leak in the ceiling and gave me options-to open the ceiling from the basement or run new gas piping from the furnace on the third to the stove. We decided on the second option. Chuck replaced all the old pipes from the meter to the hot water heater and then pumped air into the piping-no leak. We called the gas company. They tested and found no leak. Chuck explained our plan to run new pipe from the furnace to the stove. Gas was restored. Chuck still had to drill a hole through brick on the enclosed back porch and run new gas pipe from the furnace to the stove. I was a little concerned about how the black piping would look. On Friday, Chuck brought a young apprentice, Donna. The two worked 10 hours that day. They did an excellent job running the piping so that it is not an eyesore. Chuck came back on Saturday to light the stove and make sure that everything was in working order. My building is over 75 years old. This could happen on the 2nd floor as well. We now have a solution that will take far less time to repair.

Paul from FLS showed up promptly at the time given to us the previous day and began the rodding process quickly. This issue was addressed by another plumber in January and was a problem that has been reoccurring. Paul believes the problem is a collapsed drain pipe, and explained the labor I could do myself to save on the "ultimate solution" digging down to the pipe and seeing what is what. I appreciated this immensely as a away to save some expense and more importantly know how to fix this nagging problem once and for all.
