Ex-Stink Plumbing, Sewer & Drainage

CP R.

We have had problems with our sewer line. We had five different businesses look at it and five different opinions on what to do. Ex-Stink came out rodded our sewer line and saved us $2200. We are grateful and will be using them again.

Our plumbing backed up last year. I called a couple of places and went with Ex-Stink because they seemed to be reasonably priced, straightforward and didn't seem like they were trying to rip me off . Dave came over and ran a camera through the sewer line and showed me what the problem was. Luckily, there weren't any major issues and we just needed a sewer rodding. I used them this year for another sewer rodding because I found them to be very professional, making me feel comfortable with using them again.

These are the go-to guys for annual sewer rodding if you have a tree in your yard. They are reasonable and professional and do the job right. I am not sure what else they do but my experience has been positive for about 10 years now.

I contacted Harold the plumber to do work for my bed ridden mother whom I love and care for.
Harold tried to make me feel confident and at ease convincing me my mother would be in good hands.
Unfortunately this was totally opposite as he would not return calls or other correspondence for a week while I was forced to hire another plumber.
Harold had agreed weeks before to pull a permit but kept coming up short. Our new plumber took only a day.
When Harold did finally respond, he had no answer to his sudden disappearance except rage when I found out that he had gone out of town to visit his son since his lead plumber the did all jobs for Harold has actually quit days before leaving Harold unable to do the work but blaming it on the permit and calling everything hearsay and my fault.

The work that was done was incorrectly drilled costing my mother several dollars in damage as well as open walls never discussed with me or needed.
Harold's only defense so far has been that he lived very far from me and the job was an inconvenience.
He also claimed that he never like to pull permits and usually worked in most towns without them. A very big violation of trust and codes.

When an inspector for obtaining the permit come out to meet with Harold, he missed the time and claimed traffic was just overwhelming for him.
That was extremely embarrassing and damaging leaving us in a precarious situation.
My final conversation was not a good one as Harold as he was not letting me get a word out during the phone call and told me he'd be paying me a visit Monday as he hung up the phone.

My mother and I are pretty shaken up and I can only say that I should have researched even more.

Excellent quick service. Technician and roved promptly and the price beat all conpetitors.

I see the last review is over a year old and I can say they are the very best for service and price. They let you know what the situation is and without any pressure , let you decide the best course of action. All work is done professionally and with no leftover mess.

I called this company 2 weeks ago in the evening and they advised they would be here the next morning at 7:00 am. They didn't show up until 11:25 am and I didn't receive a call advising there was a delay. I was given a $20 discount instead of the $30 discount they advertise online. Now 11 days later I am having the same issue, when I called them I was advised they will have to get back to me and could not provide me with an ETA. In the meantime, I am not able to use my toilets or my washing machine, again. I contacted another plumbing company, Duane Blanton, who was here in less than 1/2 hour and they were able to fix my plumbing issues, correctly. My advice to you is to call either Duane Blanton or a different plumber as this plumber doesn't stand behind their work and I still have not received a call back, 4 hours later.

They came out on time, already a bonus from most plumbers. They used a camera so I could see everything. I had another issue that needed fixed and they could have easily told me it was a pipe, and charged me an arm and a leg but instead told me to just have a handyman replace a handle and it would be fine. Great guys, honest, and on time.

Phenomenal!! From the initial call to the receptionist who gave me the $109 sewer camera and rodding special to the on-site visit, I was thoroughly satisfied. David (the plumber who came out) was amazing. I've had 3 plumbing contractors come out to the home I just purchased to give me quotes on sewer rodding and make recommendations on existing plumbing system. I'm in Mount Prospect and this area and home are prone to sewer and sewage backups. The previous owners did not disclose the extent of backups the home would get in an average year. David not only did the work I asked for, but he went above and beyond by giving me an overview of the entire plumbing system without forcing any additional work. I became a more knowledgeable homeowner as a result of his overview. I will absolutely call them again.

Mike was great. He thoroughly answered our questions and was first out to give an estimate. The company has excellent follow through and is flexible. All of our options were laid out very clearly. Mike spent a LOT of time answering our questions. Very accommodating. And the technicians who came with him were also excellent.

Pricing is competitive, and they gave us an $100 off coupon.

They came when promised and cleaned up the work area. They left close to 7 pm and were off on an emergency call. Hard working, knowledgable. I hope the owners appreciate Mike. Give that man a raise!
