We had Mike E. come back to install a new water heater. Once again he arrived on time, was easy to talk to, and explained my options. He was great and very knowledgeable. My wife and I would and have recommended Lake Coom Plumbing and Mike E. in particular to friends and vote-workers.

Was so happy to have had Mike E as our technician. He is a consummate professional. He was efficient and tidy; a great communicator with a pleasant demeanor; reviewed his work and sufficiently answered any questions I had. We expect to have some other issues addressed at a later time, and I definitely will request Mike to do the job. He is a real asset to your company!!!! Thank-you, Mike.

I have used this company twice; both times the work was excellent. Mike E. was the technician this last time and he gave us outstanding service. Will definitely use them in the future.

Technician Phil H. was very panctual, knowledgeable, tidy and efficient. He arrived on time and did excellent job. He was dedicated and diligent. It is reassuring to know that there are professionals like Phil around.

Phillip did a excellent job explaining my options and cost in a manner in which I could understand. He was not in any hurry and very knowledgeable. No pressure! The finished project under my sink looked great and he did it quickly with very little clean up. Amazing!! He will be on my list for future calls!! I will be very happy to tell anyone to consider Lake Cook Plumbing. (DY)

I was ultimately happy with your service. Thank you. I will say when the technician (Mike E) came out, he asked the right questions and then asked "[So what would you like to accomplish?]". As a homeowner with a backed up sewer pipe, I thought this was obvious. Very happy with what Mike ended up doing. I guess I would have liked him to say something like "this is what you need to do, what do you think?".

06/20/15
 
Philip was prompt and thorough and clearly explained what needed to be done. There was no pressure to complete everything at this time. He provided tags/instructions for shut off valves. I was impressed at the professional presentation and itemized prices of what needed to be done. I will definitely call Lake Cook Plumbing for any future plumbing issues.

Great work. Thanks Nick!

After taking cold showers for two days, we contacted Lake Cook. The office staff was friendly professional and knowledgeable. Amy set up an appointment with my husband and Kim kept in contact with us through out the day to let us know where Nick was and if he was running behind. When Nick arrived, he was so nice and pleasant. He was able to figure out what the problem was and gave us different options to fix everything. He also walked through my house and gave me pointers and showed us a few different things. We will definitely be calling them with any future plumbing needs!!!!

05/12/15
 
Mike was excellent! He explained everything and when we ran into something unexpected he gave us options. He also gave us tips on general maintenance of our plumbing system and advice on another issue. He was fast, efficient and everything was cleaned up at the end of the job.

He Did a great job. He checked all other areas to make sur everything was running okay.

Received FIRST CLASS service from Mark L in my home - preceeded by courteous treatment on the phone from Kim.

03/25/15
 
Kim was extremely professional on the phone, but I don't like her photo, above. Mark is one of the finest technicians I've had in my home in a long time. Lake Cook Plumbing is my ONLY plumbing company from now on! Thanks for the fine service,
Mark L., Kim S.

This is my second survey :^ ) I am exceedingly happy. Thanks for everything, Also answered question 9). You have permission to use my previous comments if last name not given, i.e., Jeanne -- Grayslake. I will definitely let my own friends and others know how pleased I am and I do have the discount coupons to share with them. Have a great day! Jeanne

From the very moment Kim answered the phone at their office, to when we shook Mark's hand for a job well done, we could not have been more satisfied. We now have a plumber we can trust to do the job right, the first time around. Talk about full disclosure. Wow! You know where, what, how much and why, BEFORE the job gets started. When the job is finished, you have no inclination that anyone was in your home, except you no longer have a plumbing issue. Mark is a true professional. He's interactive. friendly with his customers. We almost wish we had another issue, so that we would have another opportunity, to experience how a job should be completed. Lake Cook Plumbing, you have your act together! Mark & Kim, thanks for being so very competent. Tim & Donna

Kim & Mark, thank you so much, for a truly wonderful experience! If we EVER have another plumbing issue, where we need a true professional, you'll be called first. If we ever have a neighbor, friend or a relative with a plumbing issue, you'll be highly recommended. All of you at Lake Cook Plumbing, create the word "satisfaction" and we thank you for a job, from start to finish, well done!

After examining the problem with my bathroom tank, Glen review it with me and his explanation was easy to understand. He provided the cost differential between repair and replacement and I felt confident in my choice which was opting for a new tank. Glen was prepared to show me both product and brand choices right in my home. He went and picked up a new tank, returned and installed it quickly. Then before leaving he offered to provide me with tags/ instructions for the shut off valves in my home. No more guessing should there be an emergency. I am very glad I chose to contact Lake Cook Plumbing and I will definitely call them back the next time I need plumbing services.

Glenn was a complete professional and his service was exceptional. I Would highly recommend using their services in the future.

Lynne Firsel Glynn arrived promptly and was very pleasant. He identified the problem immediately and was able to solve it in a short time. He did go back to check that everything was working well and made the adjustments necessary when needed. I would be pleased if Glynn was the techician sent to my home if ever I needed help from Lake cook plumbing again

I appreciate how efficient the office was in relating my needs to a wonderful Technician. Glynn was knowledgeable, competent and very easy to work with. I am so glad that I called Lake Cook Plumbing to help me with my plumbing issue.

Phil was terrific, and Kim was equally efficient on the phone. She moved our appointment time to the morning, and it's a good thing, because the install of the water heater, valves, sump pump, and backup battery required at least 7 hours. Phil was courteous, knowledgeable and patient. Very professional operation all around. Thank you!

01/30/15
 
Phillip quickly made the repairs as requested.

Phil was terrific! He spent at least 7 hours at our home (including a couple of trips through the weather to round up the correct parts) installing a gas water heater, sump pump and battery backup. He spotted 3 outdated valves and replaced those. To Phil's credit, he did not "hard sell" any new item, but took the time to explain the advantages of the replacements. Phil also took the time to walk the customer through the drain-down procedures on the heater, and the operation of the backup system. Even left his cell number in case of future issues. Phil was very helpful and knowledgeable, and is an asset to your company. Thank you!

Glynn was very professional and friendly when he arrived at my home to repair a frozen pipe in my ceiling. He was also very professional and explained what we thought was a simple repair, that actually turned out to be an additional 6 repairs, for other pipes that we didn't know about. He was also very understanding when we had to stop the repairs, due to cost and did not try and talk me into completing the repair service, when it was just too much to handle at the time. I would definitely recommend Lake Cook Plumbing Service to friends and family members without hesitation. I would also call Lake Cook Plumbing Service to do any other plumbing repairs I may have in the future. Glynn especially was very friendly and professional and he would be the one I would request to come to my home and repair whatever plumbing problems I have. Thank you Lake Cook Plumbing and Glynn L for making a stressful situation a little bit better to deal with. Thanks again, Glenda Lacefield

We have a service agreement with Lake Cook Plumbing and they came out on Jan. 16 to do the annual inspection. As part of the inspection, one of our toilets was loose and needed to be reseated. The toilet was done on Jan. 21. The technician for both visits, Mike E, was very good. He arrived when they said he would and was very thorough. The toilet was reset and is now working properly. 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.

I needed work done in my kitchen and bathroom tub. It took two trips because of parts availability (from the manufacturer and plumbing supply store) but everything was fixed and now working well. Phillip was very good about communicating with me, my building and the store. I'm glad it's all over and happy with the outcome. I was also pleased with the conversations with Kim in the office who kept me up to date on scheduling.

Terrible. Told me she booked the appointment. I took the day off to be there. After the 2 hour window had passed I called. Appointment was never set up. Spoke with someone who apologized and said I'd be next. Then actually tries to upsell me a larger heater after telling me it could be another 45 minutes to 2 hours. 2hours goes by nothing. I called back. Office was closed and spoke with answering service. They said someone would call in 5 to 10 minutes. 45 minutes later, plumber actually calls and says no one told him he had another appointment. He said he could be there in another hour and a half. Through all of this I could not even get an estimate. Very poor way to do business. There's and issue and the office goes home. Doesn't even call before closing to give me an ETA of when I could expect the guy. Replacement plumber gave me a price over the phone and actually showed up when promised. This companies plumbers may be great, but I'll warn everyone I know to stay away. The office just doesn't care about business. I'd give a zero but it won't let me.

Recently called Lake Cook Plumbing because of a problem at my mother in laws house in Wildwood, Ill. I was told at the time a technician would be at the house between 2-4 P.M. I got a call a few minutes after the appt was made and was told the tech would be there within a half an hour. Glynn arrived before 1P.M. From the time he knocked on the door he very courteous, and professional. I explained the problem to him, and he jumped right in. He found the problem, told me what had to be done. We agreed on the price, and he got to work. He worked without taking a break. Every step of the way he told me what, and why he was doing what he did. It is nice, in these days of shoddy workmanship and lousy work ethic to have a person of Glynn's professionalism working for your company. If I ever need plumbing work done at my home, I will request Glynn and no other. Thank you. Bob Furner, Ingleside, Ill.

This was my first experience using Lake Cook Plumbing and I was extremely satisfied with every aspect of the service provided including the professionalism of Phillip, the technician that completed the work installing our water heater. He was prompt, courteous and thorough in providing options and finishing the job. I was also very pleased with the friendly and professional customer service displayed when I initially called to schedule the appointment.

starPhillip was prompt friendly curteous and very responsive to our unique situation regarding replacement of our water heater. He was able to come up with a great solution and was able to get his boss's approval and he took care of us without any hassles or problems. He was very thorough and professional and i was extremely pleased with his service. I will use Lake Cook Plumbing for future service needs based on this experience. Thank you.

I Called Lake Cook plumbing for the first time on January 10, 2014 at 10:30 at night. We had water coming into our basement through the basement entrance door. When I walked outside to investigate, I discovered 3 feet of water at the base and the door was holding most of it back. I immediately looked on line and found Lake Cook Plumbing and they had 24 hour service. After leaving a message with the service I received a call 3 min later and I explained my problem. The first reaction from this company was “no problem…we will take care of you”. Working in the hotel industry (Hilton) I greatly appreciate great service. In about another 2 min, a resolution was offered and a man was sent to my home. While I was waiting, I went to the basement entrance and started bailing water. At 11:00 PM Mike E. Arrived and was very courteous and friendly. Mike took great care in making sure there was no dirt snow or salt tracked in by him. Mike assed the problem, presented me with options and pricing. The drain in the basement entrance had frozen solid. A rod job later the drain was fixed. No more water in my basement! I called Lake Cook Plumbing 2 more times since then and got the same wonderful service and just by chance I got Mike both times. I have asked Lake Cook to make Mike E. our preferred technician. Lake Cook Plumbing is very professional and service orientated. I will use their services again. and recommend them to anybody. Thank you Lake Cook Plumbing! Conrad Hilton would be proud… “Pride plus incentive. Wages won’t do the whole job.” Regards, John K, Arlington Heights, IL

We live in a high-rise in Lincoln Park. Our building's maintenance staff couldn't unclog a drain that had backed up in bathroom sink. They had to call in the pros at Lake Cook Plumbing. Phillip was the technician that came out to troubleshoot. He was thorough and knowledgeable. He explained everything to us very patiently and professionally as to his diagnosis of the problem, what might have caused it, and what he needed to do to solve it. Did an all-around great job. Very satisfied.

Last week when we had water unexplainably backing up into our bathtub from the washing machine, we were of course distraught. Lake Cook Plumbing came to our rescue within a couple hours of my call. A technician named Mike E. Diagnosed the problem ,gave me several estimates on how he could fix our problem in different ways. He was personable ,clean and efficient. problem solved.
