Although they sent someone out right away, they basically went downstairs, checked the drain, said there was nothing they could do and charged us $95.00 dollars. As they were in Skokie, like we are, I would think that they would have been able to tell us that over the phone. In the end, I feel we were taken advantage of. I believe in paying people for a service, but taking a look a something for less than 5 minutes does not warrant $95.00!
Description of Work: During the flooding on Sept. 13th, we flooded with 2 feet of sewage in our basement. Upon the advice of restoration company (who we will never use again), we called a plumber to clean out our drain pipe.

I needed to shut off the hot water going to my washing machine, but managed to break the valve in the process. It could still keep the water off, but would leak like crazy when on. We called R.B., saying it wasn't an emergency. They called back the same day and made an appointment to come out within a couple of days, dictated by our schedule. I thought he'd have to cut out the old valve and weld back in a new valve with some additional pipe. Instead, he was able to cannibalize parts from another similar valve to make the old one work just fine. He only charged us for the service call.
Description of Work: Repaired a shutoff valve in the basement laundry area.

Rueben came on time, worked efficiently and billed us according to the estimate. He was priced fairly (I had another estimate) and very pleasant to work with. Now that I've had a great experience, I've got a few more things I'd like him to do.
Description of Work: Rueben dropped by same day to survey a tricky plumbing job where I had to move a copper water pipe an inch in order to accommodate a built-in under cabinet wine cooler and then re-provision the water to an outdoor spigot... I also had a few minor repairs to other outdoor spigots. I asked him for a "ballpark" estimate because the work was not clear-cut.

We called them for what we thought would be just a sewer clearing job. We have a large elm tree very near our sewer, and its roots need to be reamed out of our sewer at least once a year. The crew reached a place about halfway to the street where the rooter could only make a small hole. Ruben then had another crew bring the camera (like what a doctor uses for colonoscopy, but bigger). He showed us where the pipes had become misaligned and recommended that we dig it up and put in a new pipe at that point. I was worried that this would cost twice as much as it actually did. He came the next morning and did the job in half a day. However, the next day we discovered the pipes were still blocked. When we called him to report this, he sent a crew right away. They found some more roots right where our sewer enters the main line, which they cleared. Things have worked fine since that. Overall, we are satisfied with the job. Ruben himself is very responsive and attentive. The crew he sent without him was less good, with one worker seeming totally lost and incompetent. The cost was lower than we had heard from friends for similar work, and we are satisfied with the end result.
Description of Work: Dig up and repair broken sewer pipe, clean sewer.

I called Ruben on an afternoon and he came promptly the next morning to give me an estimate ($135 plus parts). I knew from the others I'd talked with that this was a fair price. He did the work on the spot, and he didn't charge me for the drain-pull repair. He was efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, cleaned up, and interesting to talk with as well!
Description of Work: I needed someone to install a new kitchen faucet which I'd bought. I also needed the drain-pull from a bathroom sink repaired. I'd talked to 2 handymen about these and several other house repairs. One was too expensive, the other wasn't confident about the plumbing jobs. So I figured it was best to get a licensed plumber who would know what he was doing. I also called 2 other plumbers and one was too expensive and the other wanted me to get more parts before he stopped by the house.

I found R.B. Plumbing on Angie's List. We are new in town and needed a plumber in an emergency situation. They were able to send someone out within an hour. The location of the burst pipe was hard to pinpoint, so he had to cut 5 holes in the ceiling before finding it. It was a messy job since it is plaster, but he did a great job cleaning up after the repair. I think he also discounted the labor on the smaller jobs.
Description of Work: We had a frozen water pipe break above our plaster kitchen ceiling after subzero temperatures. I also had him do a couple of other small jobs (clean a bath tub drain and change a shower head) while he was there.

On time for bid appointment. He handled all issues with the city and with underground cables and pipes. Rueben had to excavate to seven feet below grade. Valve was bad as well as leaking. He worked with the city to get the right parts and did complete installation at no additional charge. I could not have asked for or expected better service. Rueben was professional in every way. He did a first class job in spite of all of the complications with the job and the city and was finished in less than one day. I could not give any one a better review. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: Water leak from street under parkway. Best bid of three plumbers called with "A" ratings. Well below high bidder.

I was home while the work was done. The crew always worked hard and effectively. Ruben and Sergio were very helpful. They were open, and explained situations and alternatives. I personally believe no other plumbing contractors would have done a better job for the price without compromising quality. They made a bad situation as good as it could be.
Description of Work: After an independent camera company reviewed the pluming and lines, it was determined there were 2 problems- a sewer line in the yard was broken and waste was accumulating, and the waste line by the toilet was pitched incorrectly. It could not be determined whether the problem was an outside pitch problem or inside the house. The problem in the house was a nightmare, and Ruben and Sergio were so good to work with in this horrible situation. Together we came up with a good way to deal with a terrible problem. I personally believe no other plumbing contractors would have done a better job for the price without compromising quality.
