Ex-Stink Plumbing & Sewer

I’ve been using Ex-Stink for at least 4 years now for my sewer rodding needs (I have a bunch of trees in the yard). Dave and his team, never disappoint. Great communication, attention to detail, prompt, courteous… all the above! Had them do approx 20 ft of sewer line replacement, and they did a great job for me at a very reasonable price! Kudos to Mike (the excavation mgr.) and his team (Nick and Brian). Thx guys!

It was a great experience start to finish. I received the 1st call back at 9 pm (on the same day I called for assistance). They went ahead and called the tenant and set up the time the very next day, as I requested, and I was kept updated all the way through. A great experience and I will certainly have Ex-Stink on my short list to reach out next time I need help.

I have used Ex-Stink Plumbing and Sewer Co. several times over the past four years and have always been highly satisfied. They are knowledgeable, competent, and reliable. They conduct their work in a pleasant and friendly manner. I will not hesitate to use this company again whenever the need arises.

I'm happy with them, they are good and I'm pleased with the company.

I hired Harold at Ex-Stink Plumbing to relocate a washer/dryer to the second floor of my mothers home whom is mostly bed ridden with many medical issues. I was looking for someone honest and reputable. Harold the plumber promised to get the necessary permits with the village but did not deliver and complained it was very difficult and could not be done. He stated he never pulls permits unless forced. When he did not show up to meet the village inspector for the pre inspection required for a permit, it was highly damaging as well as extremely embarrassing. Harold stated he was running late in traffic and lived very far away only to arrive as the inspector was about to drive away. If distance was an issue for this plumber, I’m not sure why he would accept the job in the first place. Harold ended up opening up unnecessary walls in additional rooms without notifying or asking me first during the brief four to five hours here. All without a permit. This will cost quite a lot for my mother to have to repair. After consulting with other tradesmen and plumbers, the walls he opened and brief work attempted were totally incomplete and incorrect and put us in a terrible costly situation. Harold the plumber took fifty percent of $6200.00 upfront with no offer of any money back or damages leaving us out over $3,000. I feel so foolish and upset watching my disabled mother victimized. Leaving various messages and emails for Harold hoping to resolve this, I received no response back in a over a week. Ironically, the excellent plumber I had to replace Harold with from Angie’s List was able to pull the proper permits in only one 24 hour day.

They came out as planned and used the camera to show me the root blockage then they cleared it and showed me again. They told me steps to take to avoid in the future. I will definitely use again for this and other plumbing needs.

Highly recommended. Professional, got the job done quickly. Would hire again.

Ex-Stink does a great job. They've done maintenance sewer rodding for us several times for a reasonable price. And Dave recommended hydrojetting after televising our sewer line to prevent a big sewer project down the road. We also had him televise our sewer line at a commercial property and he identified several issues, even though his company does not currently do work on the section of sewer line that runs into the street in the city of Chicago, which is where we need work done. This is an honest company.

I woke up to the sound of beeping from my backup sump pump, letting me know my main sump pump wasn't working. They were at my house about an hour from when I called, gave me several options for fixing my problem, and had the service performed in less than an hour and a half. I didn't feel pressured and they seemed very knowledgeable. I would use them again!

The job went well. It turned out the plumber was unable to unplug the toilet because there was something inorganic stuck in the toilet. Toilet ended up needing to be replaced. We found the plumber to be very professional and courteous.

I have used ex-stink numerous times and have recommended them to others always with positive responses. I think they are great and honest plumbers - a rare find! I would highly recommend them. They have done hydro jetting, fixed leaky faucets, diagnosed problems and have always been prompt and very helpful!

Ex-tinct came up for my zip code but when I called them, the young lady said she didn't recognize my area?? And I DID understand it to be an extra $100.00 for it being Saturday.

They determined the problem was the garbage disposal, showed me why that was the case, recommended the type of unit I needed, and returned the next day to install the unit. They were knowledgable, respectful, and professional.

Great. It was done efficiently and professionally.

The guys were on time, professional, and did a great job. Would definitely rehire them.

I was very satisfied with what they did.

The guys were great and very professional. They placed booties on their feet, cleaned up after themselves and worked very efficiently. I would definitely hire them again.

Response was excellent, they showed up on time and got right to work. they were done in less than an hour. Nice guys, no mess, would use again. Tub is flowing freely again.

We have used this company twice. As a home owner of over 20 years, both were two of the best service calls we we ever had. Harold (the owner), Dave and Andy were all true experts, effecient and sincerely cared about the job done.

Dave called to say he could arrive before my scheduled time window. I told him that was fine, and he soon arrived. He and his co-worker were polite and cheerful. Dave explained his findings clearly. There were no complications because I have this procedure done yearly to prevent roots from getting out of control.

Efficient. However did not provide the camera service that was paid for as they were concerned over damage. Misunderstanding over access fee was resolved quickly and they honored their commitment. Both team members were professional and nice.

Handled well. Answered questions. Worked promptly. Good job.

Great! Friendly, efficient and professional!

The two guys that showed up were awesome. I figured they would just have to snake a laundry/kitchen drain pipe, but it ended up being a bit more involved. The popped open the clean out, cleared the drain and did quite an immaculate clean up job. They even gave me a discount because I gave them an old towel to assist in the cleanup. Great job, would definitely hire these guys again.

Fabulous. They were professional, careful and didn't proceed with anything until they fully explained what was involved and what that would cost me.
