Eric was awesome! I live in a historical building in Printers Row and he really had to work to get my kitchen drain to cooperate. I am soooo glad he didn't give up--and he found a crack in one of the pipes that was just beginning to form. If he hadn't pointed that out, I'm sure I would have come home someday to find my place flooded. Thanks for the great service!! And he also made me feel better when he said 1) he's seen worse and 2) there wasn't much else I could have done. Sometimes drains just need extra help. His cheerful attitude really made a difference!!

Thank you very much for having us over! I am glad that you were happy with Erik and our company. He is a very good plumber and will pass along your kind words to him. Our goal is to repair the main issue at hand, but also keep an eye out in case we see a potential issue that could cause larger problems in the future.

We had a 10+ yr old hot water heater in our building that was starting to fail. We contacted Goode Plumbing to come out and give us an estimate on replacement. Michael Goode came out to do the estimate and we thoroughly appreciated that he took time to examine the hot water heater to make sure it needed replacement. He discovered that the dip tube had originally been installed incorrectly and so gave us estimates for both replacement and a flush/repair. We received both estimates within 2 days of the inspection. We decided to have him repair the unit and everything went smoothly. His work was excellent and he took the time to explain to me everything he was doing. He was very considerate and put on shoe booties every time he came through our apartment. We had this work done a month ago and everything is doing well. I would recommend Goode Plumbing to anybody.

Thank you very much! This member called because he and the other residents of this multi unit building were running out of hot water very quickly. Upon investigation, I found that that the originally installer of the water heater made and error and reversed the cold and hot water going to and from the water heater. Normally we do not recommend any repair to a ten year old heater beyond something very basic, because they are towards the end of the average life expectancy of a modern water heater. However, I offered a repair option in addition to a replacement option, for several reasons; this was a very high quality brand, the cost of a replacement commercial heater is quite expensive, and this unit looked to be in good overall condition. I corrected the hot and cold piping issue, installed a new full size drain valve to properly flush the tank, and installed new anode rods and dip tube. Everything was cleaned, flushed and tested. I am very pleased that it has been working well for a few weeks now! I

Brian was extremely helpful and polite through the entire experience. When he arrived he put on shoe covers to not track rain into the house, took a look at the hot water heater and then sat down to draw me out a detailed diagram of what was causing the issue and the proposed fix. He gave a very reasonable estimate and answered all of my questions politely and accurately. As he performed the repairs, he came and got me at a couple of points to show me the issues with the parts that were being removed, and to show how the new parts being installed should not encounter the same build-up and corrosion. He finished promptly, cleaned up completely after himself, showed me the completed work and tested that everything was in working order, and the price came out to be exactly what was quoted. It was a great experience.

I called Goode Plumbing because my pipes were frozen. They had several calls that day but were able to send a team out to my home to fix my pipes. They were very thorough and made sure every pipe was fixed. before they left. Mike the owner came by a few times to check on the team. I like how they explain what needs to be done and are willing to answer any questions I may have. I use Goode Plumbing for all my plumbing needs. They installed my flood control system, fixed drain leaks, toilets, and rodded drains. They are very reliable and attentive to the customers. I highly recommend them for all your plumbing needs.

Thank you very much for the wonderful review! It truly means a lot to all of us here at Goode Plumbing. As the Member has stated, we had to replace multiple sections of burst piping, caused by a tenant leaving a basement door open during the extremely cold weather we had this winter. We are so appreciative of the multiple projects and repairs that this Member has rewarded us with. She is always pleasant to work for!

Goode Plumbing refreshingly exhibits outstanding customer service. My positive experience began with Carrie, the wonderfully courteous and personable office representative, who actively listened to my description of what was occurring with the kitchen plumbing and responded with compassion and very appropriate humor. She was laughing 'with' me. Carrie gave me a 3-hour window of which to expect the plumber to arrive at my place. It was a pleasant surprise when ,on the day of the appointment, she phoned me 30 minutes prior to the beginning of that 3-hour window to let me know exactly what time Mike would be arriving. He arrived with a big smile right on time. Seeing I had hardwood floors, he immediately removed his shoes before entering, thanked me for calling his company and assessed the problem in the kitchen. Mike was awesomely accommodating by resolving a recurring issue of water pouring from the dishwasher 'open' drainage pipe into the cabinet under the sink when a backup occurred. He advised me how rerouting the drainage plumbing could remedy the issue and that it would all be up to code...no problem it ever there is an inspection. Mike ran out to purchase the necessary materials, not realizing the problem would be of this magnitude, and voila fixed it!! After installing the new faucet kit, he, without my asking, caulked around the sink because it was a truly unsightly. When I saw that he had taken the initiative to do this, I was so very thankful and, with a smile, he said he couldn't leave it the way it was. This is the ultimate in Outstanding Customer Service and Professionalism!! Bravo!!

Thank you very much for your very nice review! Working with this Member was very pleasant. She had an issue with some drain work under her kitchen sink as well as a new faucet for us to install. Revising the drain work went well, and we also installed the new faucet without issue. The caulk around her undermount kitchen sink had been done in the past by someone, but the job was a bit messy, so while there, we removed the old caulk and replaced it with new. We appreciate the work and this review!

Erik did a great job! He was friendly and professional. He explained what was wrong with the old sump pump and why the new one was necessary. I now have greater piece of mind knowing that I have a new one that I don't have to worry about. Also I bought a new kitchen faucet and asked him to install it while he was here, which he did with no problems. I am so happy with how it works and looks. Thanks again Erik!

Goode Plumbing did a fantastic job in replacing my hot water heater and the old pipes and replacing with new copper. I had a concept of how the job should be done and it exceeded my expectations. Mike Goode initially came to my home and listened to all my wants and concerns. He assured me that all that I wanted could be done. When his crew arrived, he forwarded all my desires and concerns them and they delivered. Develle, Jose, and Donny worked in my home for 4 days and were the picture of professionalism the entire time. The quality of the work was excellent and I couldn't be happier with the work they did. The reason we had the work done is because the water pressure had diminished over time to where it had to be fixed. One look at the inside of the old galvanized pipes (besides being grossed out) showed me why my water pressure was poor. You could not see through the pipe. With the work completed, we have excellent pressure on the second floor now. It was my responsibility to make all pipes accessible requiring me to remove paneling and some drywall (which I will replace). I decided to use Goode Plumbing because of the reviews on Angie's List and I am glad I did. Do not hesitate to use this company for your plumbing needs. They will now be my go to plumber in the future.
Description of Work: Replaced hot water heater with high quality new one. Removed and replaced all pipes in the basement that were not copper (galvanized) from the main coming into the house to all existing pipes going up into house. All other pipes in the house were copper, it was mainly the horizontal pipes in the basement that were the old galvanized.

We appreciate being rewarded with this project! We removed old galvanized water supply piping in the basement of this member's home and replaced it with new, Type L copper. We redesigned the piping layout so that it was more efficient, and increased sizing where it would be beneficial. We also installed new shut off valves and frost resistant hose faucets as well as a new, high quality Bradford White water heater. Upon completion, we insulated the piping which will help make the system more energy efficient. Initially we obtained the proper permit from the City of Chicago, and arranged for the inspection of the job. It was a pleasure to work for this client. We appreciate the hospitality they displayed throughout the job-we know it is not easy for homeowners to live through an extended job such as this, so we try to be as unobtrusive as possible. Thank you also to this Member for the very nice review!

Thank you for calling me regarding your water heater. The member called late on Friday afternoon and we were able to get there that evening. We do our best to handle situations such as hers (no hot water) as quickly as we can! It turned out to be a relatively minor repair to get the water heater working again. However, as her water heater was getting close to the end of it's expected service life, we did make some suggestions and recommendations regarding a replacement unit at some point in the future. In the meantime, this unit should keep on working for a little while longer. Thank you for the service call and your review here.

I called at 7:15 in the morning. The person who answered the phone was very professional and knew exactly what I needed immediately. By 9 am I had a plumber (thank you Jose!!!!) at my house. He was professional, courteous and terrific at his job. He had to rod out a clogged pipe that went from our washer to our kitchen sink. It had overflowed and backed up into the sink when the washer was on the spin cycle. It took about two hours to complete. (The stacking washer and dryer had to be pulled out. He did this with the assistance of my husband, but another plumber I had contacted HAD to have two people come on the call. It would have been so much pricier that way.) He was really efficient and neat about the work done. He cleaned all the debris up and the hall was back to it's normal look when he left. We were really pleased with the work done.

We can usually get help from another one of our employees, but in this case, the member was able to save some waiting time and a little money by lending some muscle. Jose has been with us for some time now and is a good, hard working guy who is particularly good at solving drain obstructions. Thank you for the service call and the review!

Thank you very much for you kind words! The member in this case is a long time client, who is a pleasure to work for. He has had us out to do several items over the years-ejector pump, water heater, drain rodding, etc. Unfortunately, this visit was one to replace several sections of pipe that burst due to freezing-something that we do not like to see because there is often damage to the home as a result of flooding, as was the case here. I had to open drywall to access the water supply piping in question. The burst was caused by the home builder/contractor using a thin grade of copper tubing in a very cold area of the home that was improperly insulated. I installed new sections of Type L hard drawn copper tubing to get water restored to the home. I also made some recommendations regarding properly insulating the piping and the area it runs through.

Our basement floor drain was backing up. I called Goode concerned that it was a sewer issue and someone was sent very quickly. A thorough job was done on cleaning out the catch basin and rodding the back line fo the alley. Unfortunately the problem re-occurred within a few weeks, because both front and back lines needed to be rodded. They came back within an hour of me calling and rodded the front at no additional charge. I was so relieved and impressed by the great service!

Thank you for the very nice review! As the client stated, we removed an obstruction from a main drain line. We use Ridgid sectional type drain cleaning machines for this work in many cases, including this one, and they help us do a very complete job. The problem the member was having did come back not long after he had us out initially. This is a rare case where the drain line needed a little more cleaning, so we made a return trip at no cost. We often recommend a camera inspection of your home's main drain and sewer so we can actually see the condition of the line. This member should have some years of clog free drainage. We appreciate the work and this review!

Bob kept us updated on his arrival time, he was friendly and professional, and he had the problem fixed in no time. There was a LOT wrong with this toilet, and Bob could have recommended a much more costly repair. Instead, he found a way to fix the problem without spending money we didn't have to. As a small business owner, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. We would recommend Goode Plumbing to anyone!

Great experience. Mike came within the scheduled window and was very good at explaining the problem and the options to fix it. Previous trap had been rigged to accommodate height of pipes relative to the height of the disposal, and was also made of plastic which is no longer to code. Mike replaced with a much better quality brass trap that was made to fit a space like ours, and not rigged like before. Also, when Mike arrived he put a rug down outside my front door, put the plastic booties on, and then entered the house. I have never had a service call where the contractor paid such great attention to detail about tracking dirt in. Very appreciated! Mike was courteous and professional and I will definitely use him again for future plumbing needs.

Thank you so much for your very nice review as well as having us over for this service call. The Member in this situation called regarding a leak under his kitchen sink. He mentioned that it was from the same place that another plumbing company repaired several times. I determined that the previous repairs had been performed improperly. A common issue that we come across is when a sink is deeper than the original drain in the wall was set up for, and the solution far too many plumbers come up with is to install the P trap on backwards-which results in poor drain performance and the P trap eventually coming loose and leaking, such as the one in this case. I removed the old plastic, improper p trap and tail piece. I installed a new, 17 gauge brass J bend and low inlet p trap-an increasingly hard to find but proper part for this job. I tested everything to make sure it was leak free.

I received two other quotes. One from Angie's list and another from a private contractor and neither asked for payment to give a quote. I am shocked that Angie's List could promote a company who will charge its members $700 to let them know what a repair will cost!
Description of Work: Had a break in the basement sewer line and called Goode Plumbing due to its top rating on Angie's list. I explained I needed a quote to start repairs and I was told that they could come out in a week and would use a camera to confirm the problem and give a quote. I gave all the information they needed, set up the appointment and after the appointment was made I was told that the cost of the camera inspection would be between $600 - $700!

Response from Goode Plumbing
Hello Member, I am very sorry that you were not pleased with our estimate. We were not charging you for a simple estimate-our dispatch charge includes a good, solid, basic evaluation. I was personally on a job yesterday doing just such an evaluation for nearly two hours, so that we could put together a plan of action for a customer-who had previously allowed two previous plumbers to come in an attempt to locate the issue. I took the time and came up with some ideas that others had not taken the time to. The price that we quoted was not to do a quickie camera inspection of a single drain line. Many companies do this with a low price, based on trying to turn things into a large, expensive job. If a company charges $100 or $200 to have a licensed plumber go out with a $15,000 piece of equipment, the only way that company will survive is by turning things into a larger project. We don't do that. We charge our customers a fair but realistic price to do a legitimate, honest job. If we find there are truly larger issues at hand, we give you a written, up front cost. The $640 job that we quoted you for was to spend several hours with the aforementioned expensive equipment diagnosing multiple lines in your home, producing a diagram of how your system is set up, and a USB recording of those lines. Angie's List does not promote us-the hundereds of fantastic reviews we have earned through hard work, honest and realistic evaluations, and fair pricing, were put up by other Members such as yourself. As you can see by our reviews as well as the fact that I personally review each and every job ticket, and responding to all reviews, I truly care about making our customers happy-I would love the opportunity to see if I can help out with your situation. I can be reached on (773)407-1884, and also plan to reach out to you via phone as well.

Thank you for having us over to replace several shut off valves for you. We do not quote prices over the phone because there is no accurate way to do that. I like to be up front and accurate with our clients, and come see the issue in person in order to do that. There are so many different scenarios for a given problem that anyone giving a price over the phone is just guessing. We don't like to give anyone a surprise by guessing a price on the phone based on a description, only to find out that the actual issue requires different work and now we have to disappoint you by telling you our phone price is a fraction of the actual cost. I have seen so many different issues for a problem that may sound similar, that I know that an in home visit is the best and most accurate way to assess things, for both you and us. I am sorry if things were a little more expensive than you hoped. The quality of the valves that Develle installed for you is excellent. Most valves on the market today are of plastic internal construction-ours are all brass , lead free items that we back with DOUBLE the industry standard warranty. I will look at our paperwork and see if we can do any better on the cost for you, as your business means a lot to us. I am glad you were happy with everything else, and know that the parts will give you many years of reliable service. Thank you, Mike Goode

Thank you for having us over. We have done several repairs for this Member, so we appreciate the repeat business! Most recently, we replaced his old water heater with a new, high quality Bradford White water heater, which we back with a fantastic warranty. We use brass fittings to connect the water supply to and from it to reduce corrosion, and replace the factory drain valve with our own full port valve, which allows for more complete sediment removal during maintenance. Thank you again for the work and for the review.

They removed several sections of old galvanized piping which was corroded, and replaced it with new, type L hard drawn copper-we use type L rather than type M, because of it's superior quality and advantages in terms of noise reduction, strength,and temperature retention. We also properly replaced a section of gas supply piping to the water heater. After he wrote the review here, this client was kind enough to reward us with additional plumbing work! We are replacing additional sections of water supply piping, shut off valves, and other items. We truly appreciate the work and the review!

Mike came over within an hour of my phone call at 9pm on a cold winter night. I had been waiting on another plumber for several hours who said they'd be there that night. The pipe burst was very visible and and easy fix, so he only charge $250 the emergency service fee. It is a bit steeper than some other good plumbers, but Goode Plumbing is worth it. He also recommended a electrician to install a heater in our storage unit to prevent future pipe bursts.

Thank you, Member. This occurred a couple of weeks ago when the temperature in the Chicago area dropped to well below zero, which caused a fairly large volume of piping to freeze, followed by a warm up, which caused some pretty bad leakage due to burst pipes thawing out. We were able to handle this issue quickly-my previous job had just wrapped up so I as able to get to this one pretty quickly. We do charge an emergency fee to have one of our plumbers come out at night, but I think the overall cost of the repair was within reason-and we were glad to see that there was very little damage done to this condo building as a result of the leak. This was in an unheated room in a basement, which brings up something important. If you have water supply or drains in a basement in the Chicago area, please make sure that room is properly insulated and heated! This client did have a heater installed in this room based on our recommendation, so she should have no more issues regarding a frozen or burst pipe in this area next winter.

They are excellent! They are wonderful. They are very prompt in their response. They would get to us right away. We have a great overall experience with them. One guy came and he was really great and another guy who was just in the neighborhood decided to just come by and help. They were both really great. They did a good job.
Description of Work: We had a stoppage in one of our pipes downstairs and Goode Plumbing LLC routed it.

Thank you very much! We appreciate your having us remove the obstruction from your drain. As you mentioned, the job was a little challenging, so the plumber that we had over at your home called our other plumbing techs to see if anyone was freeing up on one of their service calls. One of the guys happened to be working close by and was done with his current service call, so he came over to help get the job completed. We do appreciate your very nice review as well as the work.

I obtained quotes from four different plumbers. I decided to go with Goode Plumbing. Mike Goode owns the company and came out to do the appraisal. Mike is very professional and a good communicator. He maintains a hands-on knowledge of plumbing and has a passion for what he does. His quote was slightly higher than the others, but I felt his assessment was the most comprehensive and on-target. So, I went with the feeling that "you get what you pay for." Well, I was not disappointed. On January 13, two technicians from Goode Plumbing - Brian and Donny - came to my home to do the work. They are at the top of their class! I really appreciated how Brian took the time to explain everything he was doing (in language that I could understand) and never tired of my asking him countless questions. He is truly a master plumber. The valve and pipe replacements went smoothly, without any hiccups. And, when, after replacing the sump pump cover, the sump pump didn't behave like it should (due to a weakness in that model of sump pump) they could have just told me to "contact the manufacturer or the person who installed it." Instead, they came up with a creative solution and left it working even better than before! They worked the whole day (not even breaking for lunch) and at one point, I started fearing "what will the bill be?" However, Goode Plumbing stayed true to their quote and did not "ding" me for anything extra. So, even though at the beginning, I had felt that the quote was a little high, after the work was done, I felt it was worth every dime! I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone requiring plumbing work.
Description of Work: Replaced 2 non-functioning shut-off interior water valves. Replaced old water piping at water service entrance with copper. Replaced corroded fittings/ piping leading to tankless hot water heater with copper fittings/piping. Installed inline water filter. Replaced rusting sump pump cover with a new cover, and corrected a sump pump sensor issue.

Thank you very much for choosing us over the other companies that were also out for estimates. As you mentioned, our up front pricing is honest and accurate-we don't like to surprise customers at the end with a bill that was higher than the estimate. We installed new shut off valves for the main water supply in the house, installed a new sump pump cover and revised the pump piping, and corrected some materials that were used to install the tankless water heater. I am glad that all went well and that Brian and Donny were able to efficiently work around the sump pump issue. We also appreciate your very nice review!

Thank you , Member, for having us out. We used a Ridgid K50 drain cleaning machine to remove an obstruction under the kitchen sink, and tested things to make sure the drain performance was as it should be, and that there were no leaks after we reassembled the drain work. We appreciate your choosing our company for this work, and for you review here!

Thank you! As stated, I installed a replacement food waste disposal which the owner had on site. He also asked me to look at an issue which involved him not getting cold water to the faucet or the icemaker. He recently had a contractor in for some work, which may have resulted in a shut off valve being covered up. I made some recommendations to try to help him get this resolved.
