InSink Plumbing

Gary came out in a pinch to take a look at a couple of leaks for me, was on time, professional, thorough and fair. Would definitely use again

Junior from InSink was able to join my home inspection. He was professional, thorough, and courteous. I could be happier with the service!

These guys have done a couple plumbing jobs for me (a broken sewer line and replacing some cast iron pipes) and they are amazing. Outstanding customer service and great workmanship. I recommend them to family members without any reservations. An easy five stars.

I had a leaking showerhead, meaning that the Moen cartridge in the handle needed to be replaced. I've done it before, but it can be a major project for a novice plumber. InSink provided a reasonable quote which I accepted, I scheduled an appointment, and their plumbers actually showed up a few minutes early on the day I scheduled. Gary and Joey were friendly and professional, completed the job in about an hour, and cleaned up when they were done. I highly recommend.

So the pilot light went out on my hot water heater.
It's happened before and I was able to start it after trying a number of times.
This time I could see that there was no flash to light the burner.
Otherwise, the tank looks great and had no other problems that I know about.
I knew that this water heater could be repaired, which is why I had problems finding a plumber to fix it.
I have learned that many plumbing contractors really don't want to repair your water heater even though they advertise that they do.
I had several plumbers out to see the water heater and both told me, without even touching the water heater, that
a. the unit was over 8 years old; and
b. it could not be repairs; or
b. the gas valve was broken and repairs would be between $ 500 and $ 600.
Also, I thought the unit was younger, but I never looked it up as I believed what I was told.
Bottom line, I believe many plumbers really don't want to do small jobs but would rather sell you a new unit.
Then, I call InSink Plumbers out of Carol Stream, Illinois,
owned by Sr. and Junior, the son, who came to my house.
Here's what he told me:
a. Yes I like to make repairs to water heaters.
b. No your hot water heater is under six years old.
c. Yes the warranty for parts expires in November of 2018.
d. No the gas valve is not broken.
e. Yes the water heater looks good and could/should last for several more years; and
f. No you don't need a new water heater because I can repair it right now.
30 minutes later he gets it started and charged me 1/4 to 1/5 the cost of a new unit.
InSink, remember that name. Old school honest plumbers.

Gary Jr. is fantastic! I recently had InSink install a tankless water heater in my home and I could not be happier. My old water heater was 20 years old and it was in a small closet with no floor drain next to a wood floor. I felt I was living on borrowed time and I wanted to get it replaced before it sprung a leak and ruined the floor. Gary figured out the best place to install the tankless unit and not try to persuade me to leave it in the same closet like some other plumbers I had quote me the work. He listens to what the customer wants/needs and comes up with solutions. He is meticulous in his work and it shows! All my friends are jealous on how cool or should I say how hot it looks/works. If you don't want to be kicking yourself later hire InSink first.

We had a new garbage disposal installed in October of 2016, and InSink did a great job. However the other day it fell off. We called them since they installed it and they charged us $200 to put it back on. I was stunned and reminded him that they installed it and all he said was that it was last October. (10 months). He was probably here 15 minutes. I could not believe they charged us for something that was probably not installed correctly. Even the guy himself said these things don't normally happen. Unfortunately for me I am too timid to speak up. So while they did what I thought was a good job initially, I'm not happy that they charged so much for 15 minutes work. I hardly use it. Not like I put watermelon rinds down into it either.

We needed to have our sewer replaced from the house to the street. It could not be lined as it was sagging, so excavation was required. Gary, Jr. and Gary, Sr. (owners) gave us a reasonable price and prompt service. The job took much longer than they expected due to several abandoned sewer lines and drainage tiles that were discovered and had to be investigated. They did a great job, both with the work and in dealing with the Village of Lombard because of unforeseen complications with the connection to the sewer under the street. We did pay a bit more than the original quote due to all the extra time involved, but they could easily have asked for much more and it would have been justified.

A lot of plumbers will hit you up for all sorts of extras and try to scam you (just look at the Yelp reviews for some of these other companies), but these guys are very straight forward and easy to work with. We highly recommend them.
