**** and ***** did an excellent job. **** took the time to explain each step and gave us tips on use of the products. We would highly recommend both of them. We would request them again for any additional service needs.

Although price was too high ($800 plus for a 1 hour job) I was happy with the work. I also liked the well coordinated effort between the office and the field guys. Would use them again, and especially Mike.

I actually had 2 jobs that Mike took care of. He replaced a hot water heater and also the main water valve. He needed to work with the city and had it all done in a couple of hours. I'll always go to a business like Lake Cook instead of hiring a handyman.

Called to get a sink unclogged. Mike seemed uninterested in fixing it and only quoted a very expensive alternative of tearing out drywall just to add hooks to the pipes, which had already been completed extensively before the basement was finished. He ended up leaving without unclogging the drain and I had to call another plumber to do it.

I called to get an estimate for rodding out window well drains. I was specific about what I expected. Instead of getting a free estimate, it would cost me $50 for someone to come out. When their plumber came out, I reviewed want I wanted, he said that they would have to bring a camera to look inside the drain to see if it was plugged. This would cost me $479 and then they would see if they felt they could clear it. I was told that "If it turned out to be completely blocked, it could get really expensive". When I said that $479 is a lot of money just to stick the camera in the drain, he replied that they have to pay for the depreciation of the camera, call a plumber out to analyze the picture... sounded to me like they might not know even after they had pictures. The estimate was supposed to let me know what the cost would be. I rejected going forward and tested the drains by flooding them with water from my hose which they handled just fine. I felt like I was being led on; why wouldn't they have brought the camera to start with?

Awesome communication with Molly, sorry if I got your name wrong, in the office. She was very helpful. Technicians Mike B. and Nick A. were awesome as well. Very courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. I will recommend to friends.

olly and Mike E were both helpful and honest. Molly gave me an appt for the same day I called. Mike came early and reviewed my problem. Mike said at this time we did not need a new kitchen faucet which saved us money.

Our kitchen sink got clogged. Mike and his coworker fixed the problem professionally and efficiently. We highly recommend their service.

It was clear that this was not a job Lake Cook wanted. To quote over 900 dollars to cut 2 pipes, pull out a softener, slide another one in and reconnect pipes? Even if some adjustments had to be made this might be a 2 hour job. Got it done with a licensed plumber for 1/8th the cost. I would only suggest that if a job is not one Lake Cook wants, it's much easier to just say that up front/

I can’t say enough good things about this company. We’ve had Mike B. For our last several jobs and he is knowledgeable, honest, and extremely helpful. He helped me so much with our recent water damage and pipe breakage and pointed me in the right direction how to take care of it all. I would have had no idea what to do for follow up and reconstruction. More recently Nick has come with him and he is great too. The office staff are reliable and organized and they communicate very well. The plumbers come when they say they will, prompt, very courteous of our home and very clean. The prices are legit and you never have to wonder what you’re paying for, it’s all laid out and explained for you. Feels great to have a company we can rely on in the future!

Mike did not provide a solution or suggestion to remedy the original problem- occasional sewage odor in the basement. Then Mike went on to say that the existing plumbing was done incorrectly. However, I could understand his explanation as to why the plumbing was done incorrectly. I would not recommend Mike as a plumber. Mike was not aware that sump pumps can use stands to elevate them above the sump pit floor.

I had a problem with my ejector pit float triggering the pump (water was coming out of the drain) but could run the pump manually. I called Lake Cook Plumbing to help diagnose the issue. The plumber basically immediately showed me a quote for $835 without even trying to look into the actual issue. Looking at the retail price of the pump, it's about $350. So apparently the labor to install this is near $500, which took less than an hour of work, wowza. The plumber entered my house without wearing a mask multiple times though he put it on as soon as he got in, but still that made me a bit uneasy. He made a bit of a mess with the install and did not clean up after himself which was mildly annoying. And the last issue I had was the pump did not reach the outlet in the ceiling so he just said "you need to buy an extension cord" , so he left my house without actually confirming that it even worked. I'm satisfied with how quickly they were able to get here and resolve the issue, but I think all of the other issues are enough to deter me from using them again.

Both Mike E. and Cory are very capable plumbers and they're friendly, too! More importantly, their work is sound and professional. On a scale of 1 to 10, we'd give them both an 11.

Came out the next day. Clogged drain turned into rotting out the pipe to the main line. Worker was professional, on time and gave several solution options. No pressure sales job.

In all my experience with them, I’ve had them out on different jobs and they are fair priced efficient . Every technician they have sent is courteous and knowledgeable in the job that was required. Recently I’ve had them out to install a washer Mike was the technician that arrived with his assistant and they got the job done fast clean and efficient. I can’t say enough on how much I would recommend them. From Molly who answers the phone answers all the silly questions and listens wonderfully to all the techs that do the work. A company

We have used Lake Cook Plumbing for several projects this year. We live in an older house and plumbing issues came one after another. We called Lake Cook Plumbing for these issues. Mike and Cory came to our house and provided options for dealing with our problems. The thing that I really appreciated, is that they offered us a low cost option for these issues. Mike and Corey were very upfront with us and offered the most cost effective solution to out problems. WE agreed and have had several plumbing issues resolved over the past two months. As long as you get Mike and Cory, I definitely recommend Lake Cook Plumbing. They really have helped us out during some serious plumbing issues!

We have a service agreement with Lake Cook Plumbing and they came out on October 18 to do the annual inspection. Their technician arrived when expected and was very thorough and knowledgeable in doing the inspection and making recommendations. He also was respectful of social distancing and safety protocols. We have had Lake Cook Plumbing at our house before to install a new sump pump and backup system as well as to unclog pipes. They do good work and we have been pleased with their service and professionalism.
