Chalmers Plumbing

Showed up on time. Did the job professionally and precisely. Fairly priced. Wore shoe covers on the hardwood floors. I would recommend him to anyone in the NWI area. As a matter of fact I will be looking to use him again soon 5 stars

It's difficult to find a qualified, honest plumber. But, now that has changed! We had a slow running laundry tub drain. After getting to response from the big rooting companies, we found Chalmers with good Yelp reviews. I submitted a quote request and heard back within minutes. So far, so good!

He indicated he could come out at anytime without any overtime fees. Since this was not an emergency, we agreed on a mid afternoon appointment, which was the same day of the request.

He arrived and immediately tackled the problem. Routed the slow moving drain. Fixed it with no issues. We had him then look at a couple of other minor things. Fixed those and provided good recommendations on what to do with an intermittent dripping kitchen faucet.

Now, here's the main thing that differentiates Chalmers from other plumbers I have used. His estimate was fair and he stuck to it. And, he charged a nominal amount to look at the other things we asked him to resolve.

Chalmers has earned us as a loyal customer. Thank you for the best plumbing service ever! If anyone is reading this review and is looking for an honest, fair and qualified plumber, look no further!

Today was the first time I used Chalmers Plumbing. I needed a clogged line cleared that was causing alot of backup inside the home in the tub and sinks. He is the 2nd plumber I hired in a 2 month period for the same job. The first company was dishonest in their pricing and did not fix the problem. They basically removed the cleanout lid and let the sewage flow out and claimed they weren't able to get their 4"" auger into the cleanout and thought the problem was taken care of by the amount of sewage that came out.
Dave was just the opposite! For starters, he was HONEST and FAIR with pricing. He was punctual, professional, and clean. Most importantly, he cleared a bunch of roots that were blocking the lines into the home and to the city service line. He also warranties his work for the next 6 months and put it in writing I will call him for all my future plumbing service needs and will gladly recommend him to anyone I know in need of services.

We called Chalmers on a Friday morning for a little leak under our sink we had just noticed. We have only been in our place for a little over a month. Left a voicemail. He called back within the hour! We were busy so played phone tag a bit. He didn't give up. Thank you! He came out Saturday morning, on time. Tried to fix our leak a less expensive way first. (thought that was good) It did get a little more detailed but he was quick, efficient and very reasonable! Professional. Highly recommend! We are glad we found our plumber on the fist try moving to a new area!
We hope we don't need you often but your our guy! Thank you.

Thank you David! I had a backed up main line and David came out timely and the best quote for the job to rod the line. David explained as he was working and also guaranteed his work for 6 months!

Service was quick, professional and didn't break the bank like some other quotes I received. Will call David again for my plumbing needs!

Where do I begin?? We had a drip in the bathroom shower faucet that needed to be fixed. Turns out we had a bad 'cartridge'. Of course I had no idea what that meant but thought it was an easy fix. Called our usual plumbing company and they agreed to come look at it for $79, okay no problem. Let me first say that prior to calling them someone unskilled tried to help us and well let's just say, it didn't work. So once the original plumber got here, he said that because whoever initially tried to take the handle off broke the screw off in it, the job was now more complicated. We also wanted the trim kit and shower head replaced. After taking some pics and calling his boss we were given an estimate of between $810-$1100 which includes cutting a hole in the living room wall to get to the plumbing and they made it clear that they don't repair the drywall. The reason for the hole is that 'it's the only way to get to the area where he needs to work in order to get the handle off'. I felt sick, to say the least but what was I to do with no plumbing knowledge...so I made the appointment and waited for them to come back. To shorten the story they didn't come at the scheduled time so I called and they said they were 'just about to call me' because it turns out they couldn't get me in that day because they didn't realize it was a two man job...I decided to get another professional opinion and here's where Chalmers Plumbing came in. I called Dave after reading Yelp reviews and he said he could come take a look at the situation right then FOR FREE and would be at the house in 15 minutes, he was here in 10. He said there was NO reason to put a hole in the wall and since I wasn't keeping the old parts the job was no problem. His calm demeanor really put us at ease because just thinking of calling a plumber can be intimidating. He was extremely professional, cleaned up after himself and only did what was necessary so at no time did we feel taken advantage of. By the way, easily saved us OVER $800. We have found a new plumber for as long as he is in business. Can't say how thankful we are to know that good, honest businesses still exist.

Called Chalmers Plumbing after being completely ""no-showed"" by another plumbing company and I couldn't have been happier with my decision. Dave came right out within a couple hours and was able to replace my broken hot water heater the very next day. He's professional, courteous, quick to respond, very fairly priced, and stands by his work... everything you could want from a plumbing business.

My mom's toilet was leaking and I called several plumbers for estimates. Chalmers was about half the price of several of them, and Dave said he could come out that day. He fixed the toilet and checked the sewer to make sure it was clear. Then he went down in the crawl space which is scary and gross to check out a wet area that I was concerned about. I was really worried that a recent bathtub renovation was causing extensive water damage, but he immediately identified a leak from the other toilet and replaced the seal. The total charge for two toilets was the price for one from other estimates. Dave was very nice, honest, and professional, and we will definitely use him for all our plumbing needs in the future.

Refreshing!! Quick responses, professional, fair pricing and quality work! Wow, great for this region! Dave was courteous and knowledgeable. From inquiry to completion a consummate pro. He replaced a shower faucet cartridge for me. I couldn't have been happier, it was just an all around great experience! Keep up the great work!!!

The plumber I last used was very good, but he does not work on Saturday. I did not want to wait until Monday because the drain I had a problem with was the laundry tub drain that my water softener and iron filter also use. I already pulled the tub out and when my hand snake could not clear the drain I called Chalmers after I saw the very good reviews on Yelp. He gave me an estimate for rooting the drain over the phone and I told him to do the job. He came out within a few hours, cleared the drain and charged exactly what was quoted. The 60 day free rooting service warranty for the same drain was a nice warranty they offer. I would highly recommend Chalmers for 24 hour or any regular plumbing service. I can tell you who not to call. You have probably seen their yellow billboards all over advertising 24 hour plumbing service. If you do not mind giving someone all your money call them. You will probably end up paying the monthly rent for one of their billboards after you pay the bill!
