Description of Work: Had an unexpected main sewer backup on a Sunday night. Called Lake Cook Plumbing and they arrived in under 3 hours. Technician was excellent and highly skilled. Was able to clear the blockage in about 45 min from both an outside clean out and inside clean out. Very happy with the results. I thought the price was high, even for off hours emergency service, but because the blockage was cleared and has not returned since, I would still use them in a pinch

Description of Work: Technician visited my house and walked through some of the areas of concern that I had. One of the first things on my list (a shower system) he told me they did not work on. Ultimately, I requested a quote to repair a run of copper supply line to the garage/porch that had cracked due to freezing. The run was approximately 10ft in length and fully exposed. The quoted price to replace the run was around $1,000. To repair the 3-4 crack locations was about $600 ($400 because of a coupon I had purchased). I felt that the price was exorbitant but agreed to have the work done because I had already purchased the Angie's List coupon and wanted to get the problem resolved. The work ended up taking him about 30-45 minutes to complete. There is no way that I will be paying that much for what appeared to be a simple job in the future.

While doing laundry, my washing machine waste water started backing up into my laundry tub and also the adjacent powder room sink. Of course this happened on a Sunday; luckily I was able to wait till Monday morning to call Lake Cook Plumbing. Theresa answered the phone at 7:15 a.m. and was very polite and thorough in listening to my problem and said that she would dispatch Mike R. between 8:30 and 9. He called when he was on his way at approximately 8:30, arriving about 15 minutes later. He was completely polite, personable and professional and knew exactly what to do to fix my clogged drain. He pointed out the pipes in the (unfinished) basement ceiling that were affected, and then recommended rodding them out. He also noticed that the expansion tank on my water heater was larger than necessary and was actually hanging from the pipe that was apparently clogged, thus further dragging it down and probably adding to the problem. He wrote up a complete summary of his findings and gave me three options, all at different price points. I chose the most thorough of the three (also the most expensive) because I didn't want any surprises down the road---I wanted the problem taken care of once and for all. He then proceeded to do exactly as he had promised---he did have to run to the shop to pick up the new expansion tank, but that didn't take long and I was grateful that they had one in stock. He was here for a couple of hours, all work was completed to my satisfaction, and all drains seem to be working fine. I even signed up for a service maintenance plan, which will entitle me to two "wellness checkups" per year and also gave me a 10% discount on the work he did today. I've used Lake Cook Plumbing before and have always been very satisfied with their work----today was no exception.
Description of Work: Rodded out laundry tub drain and replaced expansion tank on water heater. Left a year's supply of Bio Clean drain maintenance product.

Thiis was actually a pretty tough job and he did a great job. He was very clean and left everything in better condition than when he arrived.
Description of Work: This is the third time I've used this company and am very happy with the results. This time it was for a blocked drain in the kitchen sink. I tried plunging, rodding and drano and it was stuck. So called on Saturday morning and Mike the supervisor took the call and spent time with me on the phone trying to diagnose the problem. Promised to try to find a plumber to send in a couple of hours. James was the plumber to called and came over. He was extreemly professional, clean and methodical. He proceeded to take apart the pipes at the sink and drain the clog from the top down. By the time we went to a cleanout in the basement, it actually came loose in his hands. Turns out the prior owner of the house had put the cap on, without proper seal. He did a great job or recovering and finishing the job. He stayed to make sure all the water was draining and charged a reasonable amount for the two hours on the clock. I've also used them in the past to put in a high end dual sump on battery back up. They also came when my prior sump froze up and I had water in the basement. Two of these calls have been emergency and both times they came right away. Highly recommend.

I called Lake Cook (which has done previous plumbing work for me very well) two days ago when I discovered porcelain defect/leak in old toilet. They were able to send Mike out this morning with new toilet. He is a fast and neat worker and the job, which had some difficult aspects, was completed in 2 hours.
Description of Work: Plumber Mike replaced wall-hung toilet. Price included cost of the new toilet, as well as labor.
