Good Plumbing
Company Overview
Plumbing troubles typically arise when you least expect them. Showers may drain sluggishly just as you’re hurrying to leave for work. Faucets can leak excessively throughout the night. A toilet may decide to act up right in the middle of a family event.
When faced with a plumbing emergency, most people instinctively grab old towels from the linen closet.
Good Plumbing, a local Chicago company, knows how critical it is to address plumbing emergencies swiftly. We prioritize understanding your situation and help you schedule your plumbing repair with ease.
Good Plumbing was established in 1982 by Jim McMahon (not the legendary QB from the '85 Bears). He was a community plumber who addressed everyone’s plumbing needs. He bartered services and assisted those who couldn’t afford repairs. He earned the nickname the good ol' plumber. Brian, his son, continued the legacy by founding ""Good Plumbing."" He expanded the business while adhering to his father's ethical standards and trustworthy reputation.

Recommended Customer Reviews

I called Good Plumbing at 8 pm on a Sunday and was shocked to get a hold of a real person. We had accidentally broken a valve and had to have the water off to our unit. We needed to get help quickly. They were able to get someone here first thing on Monday morning and fixed the issue. The plumber was prompt, friendly, and knew how to resolve the problem right away. We are very satisfied and would definitely recommend to others!

Straight Lies. No one's wife is ""in the hospital"" was ""rushed to the emergency room"", etc. Two different people used a variation of this as an excuse two days in a row - I talked to other people and it's just a lie (an awful lie) they make up to cover for their crews inability to show up. Day 1 they said, so so sorry, and we'll have someone there exactly at 8 am (no window). Low and behold Day 2 and no one has show up by 8:40 and no one was ""on their way"". Not showing up is one thing, but if train your employees to regularly lie to customers, you probably have no qualms in lying about other things.

Bill sent someone same day, estimated a price range and stayed within it! Great service, very professional. Highly recommend!

I had two toilets not working-one clogged and one not filling up correctly. I called 4 Seasons Sewer and Plumbing Good Plumbing Inc. I called at 5:30 PM on a Friday afternoon and they said they could come out that night. Joseph and Javi came out. They were efficient, polite and they fixed my problem. They gave me a quote which was a little pricey, so I only did part of the recommended work, but both toilets were working when they left. They gave me a discount and it was all very inexpensive in the end. Great Experience with this business-many thanks.

Cheers to Good Plumbing. I called to get an emergency service and he (name escapes me right now) informed he could not get out until 5 days later due to the amount of service calls he had. He understood my situation though and due to that, was honest and helped me find someone who could help. A person like that cares about the customer so wanted to leave this review.

I was out of town on business when my main sump pump failed during rain and snow melt. My back up took over. The back up alarm went off which alerted my wife that there was an issue. When she called me it was midnight. I called 3 plumbers all of which were less than interested in my business. I found New Century on line, called, and Kevin answered right away. We scheduled the repair, he kept me up to date via text knowing I was out of town and had his guy get there pronto. When I got home, everything was done, dry, clean, and all at a great price!!!!

I received a call from William 11/16/18. We had a great conversation. I believe the communication problem was a computer glitch. William wanted to resolve the plumbing problem. An appointment was set for this Morning 11/19/18. The proposal was reasonable and the cartridge for the cold & hot water replaced. A job well done. I will hire this company again!

Haven't had the need for a plumber in years so I turned to Yelp to navigate the field. Used their ""request a quote"" function and 2 plumbers responded but only 1 with an actual quote. That would be Good Plumbing. Scheduled an appointment for the next day and plumber was at my door shortly after the scheduled time. Described my two issues (needed the toilet wax ring replaced and a leaky shower faucet). He replaced the ring in about 20 minutes. He said that the previous plumber didn't set the ring correctly so he made sure the toilet was set by using an 2nd ring. Above and beyond!
As to the 2nd issue of the leaky shower faucet, he checked it out and said it would require a new cartridge but he didn't have the part nor the approval to turn off the water to do the job right. No problem, he gave me an honest answer and quote so that I was informed should I schedule another appointment for repair.
To boot, they took $50 off for the Yelp discount for the ring replacement.

Ronnie to the rescue at 10pm at night! When our sump pump alarm went off, we called Goode and Ronnie came out right away. Sure enough, there was a clog. I cannot say enough about this company and Ronnie. They are professional, honest and dependable. Our Condo unit will only use them moving forward. We encourage you to do the same.

Highly recommend Good Plumbing. Great service, quick to come out and very helpful when they were here. I would definitely call them again for any plumbing issues.
