Accurate Plumbing & Heating

Had a really bad sewer smell in my attic by the bathroom and the sewer valve was broken and rusted . I called accurate plumbing. Honest , reasonable, reliable , humble and professional workers . Got my sewer valve fixed new piping and they also fixed another issue which the tub that was no to code . Price was reasonable. They also found another issue that I saw that will have to be fixed and glad they found it before major problems will arise and will be returning. So happy with them unlike other plumbing businesses charge big hourly rate but accurate plumbing they charged a flat quote . Looking forward with them for next plumbing project .

Honest, thorough, and quick. You never hope your toilet will stop functioning or your sump pump quits, but both times we used this company they were speedy and efficient. Would recommend and will use again.

We only use union plumbers. Water is something you do not mess with as a homeowner IMHO.

My troubles began early Tuesday morning, smelling something horrible, seeing that my basement was flooded only to discover that my sump motor was broken and coincidentally, our soil stack was backed up. Yep, when we flushed our toilets the water came up thru our floor drains as it was seeping up thru the drain tiles. ugh.

The sump was with basement system and they got to us eventually to replace the motor- but they told us our soil stack needed rodding. Great almost 5p and our neighborhood union plumber was booked till Thursday- no emergency service?! AND wouldn't recommend anyone!!! Not got back to FettesLoveSieben...

Anyway, I log onto the plumber council sites and quickly found ACCURATE Plumbing. Called them, got Walter who assured me someone will be there no matter the time tonight and sure enough Jeff called and was on his way. 30 mins later- Jeff was hard at work rodding all the way to the main line and the water went down and we are back to flushing. It was nice that he never complained or got frustrated. I was stressed enough!

Sure it costs a bit more than some non union plumber who may not know what he's doing or won't guarantee his work- but I know the work got done right and they stand behind it. #professionals

Guess who's our new plumber?
Thanks, ACCURATE

The superstars of plumbers on the Northwest Side of Chicago. Our condo association used Accurate for years while we were self managed. Every project was handled with the utmost care and technical expertise that I respected as a fellow trades person. They installed commercial grade sump pumps and updated our lines in our 40+ year old building.

Ultimately we hired a management group and they brought in their own people. One plumber they got straight off the boat caused a backup in my unit. Water is very unforgiving, you want to hire excellent people to do your plumbing work.

I have had Accurate do nearly all of my plumbing work in my condo. Never experienced any issues due to one of their installations. This morning I called at 9 am to get a faucet installed that I purchased. Walt came over within an hour and the job was completed before noon. It was a centerset bathroom fixture with a pop up drain. Walt even went the extra step of making sure that the old caulk and gunk was cleaned off the vanity top---it looked factory new when he got done. Jobsite was left cleaned and the old fixture and debris was removed. He made certain to give me the paperwork from the installation to keep for my records and to contact Moen to register my product.

Accurate has been around for at least 25 years that I know of. I'm surprised that they don't have more reviews. As a tradeswoman, 32 years as an IBEW electrician, I'd dismiss the one star review that they received. A gas pipe roughed into a faucet? Impossible. These are separately derived systems by code and the color of the pipe and threading arrangement is dissimilar. Water doesn't flow from gas pipes. Furthermore installing a faucet doesn't necessitate opening a wall under most circumstances.

Accurate plumbers uphold the highest standards of the Plumbers Council of Chicago. They are Union members and served a four year apprenticeship, under the tutelage of professionals in their industry. If you need expertise and the peace of mind of having your plumbing jobs done correctly, these are the people that you call.

Not long after moving into a new home, we had water bubbling into the walls, through the door frame, and down the hallway upstairs. Accurate correctly diagnosed over the phone that it was an A/C condensation pipe that was causing it. They were then able to schedule someone to come find the root cause much sooner than other plumbers. (Turns out a Freedom Heating & Cooling tech inadvertently kicked a pipe loose while rummaging through the attic to fix our busted A/C a few days prior). Problem solved, and Walt at Accurate hooked us up with Chicago Water and Fire Restoration, who did a fantastic job repairing the affected areas.

Then another call to Accurate a month later for two leaky sinks. Fast, friendly, very informative.

Then again a few months after that for a hyperactive sump pump. Turns out our mechanical room is filled with things not up to code that the home inspector didn't catch. Like PVC encased in a tonne of concrete. Walt and his associate worked in the cold rain for several hours, installing a backup sump pump, and performing forensics to demystify our Frankenplumbing. Once done he was patient enough to explain everything in lay-terms, made sure I knew what to watch out for in the future, made suggestions for a home generator to power the sump pumps, and provided low-cost options for later plumbing renovations.

Perhaps the one-star reviewers got the B-team? Or maybe Accurate changed chefs at some point? Whatever. Based on my experience, I can recommend without hesitation.

Horrible, I had a leak on my bath tub faucet. A plumber came and said he had tools to fix it in his truck. Didn' t know until time past and the water pressure was so bad, I got several quotes from plumbers and they were horrified and told me that Gas Pipes were screwed in my faucet. This is not up to code and now I have to pay a lot of money to get this fixed. Very unprofessional.

Not sure why no reviews for Michael from Accurate Plumbing. He went beyond the call of duty to get my inoperational toilet working again by re-installing the cast iron flange which the idiots at Power Plumbing took off for no reason. Michael is the most professional, hardest working, fair and honest plumber around so this company is the real deal vs. most plumbing companies out there.

Project ultimately got complete, but plumbers lack of knowledge cost me a lot of time....and since they charged for a return trip that could've been prevented, they also cost me money.

Accurate Plumbing is the best! We moved into a new building and had a ton of plumbing problems. Accurate came in and assessed the problems and provided excellent service. John was amazing; he explained everything clearly and answered all our questions. He was efficient and precise. Accurate re-piped our entire building without doing major damage to walls. They always carefully cleaned up after their work. I highly recommend this family run and operated business.
