We just purchased our home a few months ago and the sump system was completely new to me. Dave from Lucke Plumbing didn't mind me hanging around while he diagnosed the problem. He showed me how everything on the system works, and explained how old the pump was and why it had to be replaced. He had a replacement pump in the truck and installed it quickly and professionally. When the job was done I had him look at the water shut-off valve leading to my outside faucets. They were leaking terribly when turned on. Instead of telling me they had to be replaced, Dave simply tightened them at no charge. I highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Replaced an old sump pump that had seized up.

We were getting ready to leave for a short vacation when we realized that our kitchen sink drain was clogged from its use the night before for a large family dinner. I called several plumbers and none could come out until the afternoon. We thought we would have to delay leaving on vacation but then Lucke came through. They sent a plumber out. He was prompt and courteous. He made sure that he did not get any area under the sink wet or dirty. He was able to clear the drain quickly and all of us were able to leave quickly.
Description of Work: Opened up a clogged drain.

2 days after I moved into my new home, and on a Sunday night, the hot water heater started leaking from the relief valve. I called Wilmette Lucke plumbing's answering service and Bob called me back right away. After asking some very pertinent questions, he headed my way. He called while en route so I would know about what time to expect him. Once here, he found and repaired the problem very quickly,and, to make full use of the time I had paid for, fixed another issue. I will very likely use WL plumbing again and soon.
Description of Work: Replace relief valve on hot water heater. Adjusted scald guard on bathtub faucet. Call made on Sunday night - so was at double the hourly rate.

We don’t remember what their price was. Everything was fine with the quality of their service, so we were happy. We will use them again in the future if we need to, but hopefully we don’t have to.
Description of Work: We used Wilmette Lucke Plumbing. We last used their services in 2007 or 2008 when we were renovating our house. They did the plumbing part for our bathroom renovation.

We called Wilmette Lucke Plumbing, as they had an excellent rating on Angie's list and they are nearby, to repair toilets which were not flushing properly and give advice regarding installation of a Toyo Washlet. They got back to us promptly and their plumber Mike came to our house the same afternoon to perform the service and give us the requested advice. He did the job promptly and professionally and was able to answer a number of questions. We will have them back to handle the installation of the washlets and to quote on some other jobs we have in mind. They definitely delivered prompt service and did a great job. They deserve the high rating on Angie's list.

They didn't accept credit cards, which is one of the reasons we aren't using them anymore. They showed up on time. They were neat and friendly. They were actually very creative with the plumbing lines because we had a very tiny wall to go through, and there were a lot of studs. They did fine on that part. I don't have any complaints. They did everything they were supposed to do on time.
Description of Work: They did all of the plumbing lines in our bathroom when we remodeled it. They tore down the shower and ran all of the water lines through the shower. They ran the gas line for the dryer.

Dave arrived mid-afternoon, within an hour of my call, directly from another he had been on. He worked very efficiently. Although, I'm sure he was looking forward to the end of his work day, he willingly took on and completed the two other small projects that I sprung on him. I would definitely call them again for any plumbing work.
Description of Work: The plumber, Dave, repaired an outdoor water line that had frozen and split last winter that I had procrastinated getting fixed. He replaced a portion of the copper pipe and moved the valve over to a more convenient location. He also, willingly, took on a couple of other small projects that I sprung on him, tightening the kitchen faucet and replacing a leaky shower valve, while he was here.

They said they would send me an estimate in the mail. I asked If I could get one on the spot and he said no. They never sent me the estimate. It has been over two months now and I have called them back two times since then asking when they will send us the estimate and I just get the same answer, 'they will have someone call me back'...and no one has called back or sent the estimate. I guess they really do not want our business. We are a 6 unit condo building that needs constant maintenance and work done and this might have been an opportunity for this company to gain a new customer. I guess they don't need the work...but it is rude not to return calls or even explain why they would not provide an estimate when they said they would.
Description of Work: Requested a quote to repair a leaking radiator in our condo building in a common area. Scott came out to provide an estimate. I showed him the problem heater. It was not running at the time because it was not cold enough, but he could see where the damage from the leaking water had come from and the unit owner who saw the leak described in detail the two leaking problems.

We have a tall thin house, and have never been able to get heat in the radiator in the attic. As an extra when I mentioned this, he got it running. Also, there is a switch on the boiler that is in bad shape, which he informed me was okay for now, that it would hold out until spring. He clearly has an attitude of wanting to save the customer time and expense which I very much appreciate!

I choose Wilmette Plumbing because they were the first company to answer my call with a live person. The work they did was good and he priced me a quote over the phone. However, when I called back the next to inquiry about purchasing and installing a backup sump pump, they lacked the knowledge. The price was for his labor and parts. This was also the only part of an insurance claim not covered.
Description of Work: He came to my home to fix a broken sump pump in the basement. He worked along side another company to repair the pump, while they worked on removing the water. His work was completed with any hour and a half.

I understand them being busy, but it would be nice if they would have at least called to acknowledge that they received our call. Right now, I feel I have to give them a falling grade. I really don't think that we will be using them.
