Lincoln Sewerage & Drainage

Lindsay P.

I can't say enough good things about Lincoln. My home flooded when the city sewers backed up from a huge storm just before 4th of July 2014. I live in an old house on one of the sunken lots in Bucktown. I had 4 different plumbers/sewerage guys out to given their opinions on a potential fix. Everyone said something different. Robert, from Lincoln, was the only one who seemed to know what he was talking about. I don't have any practical plumbing experience, but I have an engineering degree and have some understanding of fluid dynamics. These other guys were going to make my house flood even worse! Robert was the only one who identified a backyard drain as a potential problem and suggested rerouting it. Lincoln rerouted that drain, fixed a broken sewer tile (that required digging through my basement floor), and installed a flood control system (backflow valve and pump) for the same price that another company quoted for just the flood control system. Also, there were a bunch of problems that cropped up along the way (e.g. leaks in our main water line). Lincoln fixed them all and didn't charge us another dime. They even moved the project up ahead of schedule because they thought we were at risk for flooding again.

Really just a top notch company. They know their stuff, they are professional, and they have really reasonable prices.

Robert and his crew are GREAT!! Sewer line issues are disgusting and difficult. Lincoln and Robert are knowledgeable, dependable and reasonably priced. I had issues with an old 1870s sewer system. Robert understood and fixed it immediately.

Called 10 plumbers the first week of ""Chiberia"" after my kitchen sink was backing up. Two called me back because they were all out fixing busted pipes. Lincoln came out and snaked the drain to resolve the issue and did it at a fair price. I was pleased and would use them again.

Really odd experience with a sewer company...
Our tenant complained that things were backing up in their rental house. Since our regular plumber was unavailable, we yelped and found Lincoln. They set up an appointment for 3:30 - but they actually came early before 3pm. Very nice and polite, very efficient. But wait...there's more. The clog was minimal since the tenant had finally gotten out his plunger so Lincoln didn't have much to do. The best part - - they DIDN'T CHARGE ANYTHING !! Not a service call...not anything for showing up...nothing !! I'm sure that's not normal and maybe it was just our lucky day, but has earned our business forever. Thanks Lincoln !

Great Work! The owner himself fixed our sewer line with his son. Competitive price, exceptional work, quick service. I highly recommend Lincoln Sewerage & Drainage.

Had water backup in basement, called them and they were out there the same day. After it was all said and done, found out that the sewer line had broken just outside of the foundation under our front yard, due to roots/age etc., causing the backup. It cost 2400$ to repair the section of pipe and install a clean out in the front yard. Their workers were pretty efficient and got the job done quickly even though it was over the Christmas holiday. One negative was that they could have cleaned up the areas where they had worked a bit better (basement/ walkways). I know that the dirt/clay in Chicago is not fun to deal with but for ten more minutes of work they would've gotten five stars. Overall, satisfied.

Lincoln Sewerage has been taking care of us in our 3-flat for the last 5 years. Everything from a simple clearing the pipes so the tub can drain to installing the flood control on the main line under the front lawn. I can always count on the job getting done quickly & priced fairly.

Our basement kept flooding. This company solved the problem. They know what they're doing. I don't have a single complaint and I would recommend them without reservation to anyone.

Our condo building has been having Lincoln Sewerage come to our building the past 5 years or so, to rod out our sewer lines every summer - and also a few times when we've other other sewer-related issues. They've always been unfailingly polite, work quickly, show up on time, communicate clearly, do great work, and don't charge an arm and a leg. There has even been a few times when they went out of their way to save me money.

I give this company my highest possible recommendation. I really have no complaints whatsoever, and how often can you say that about a contractor?

Got a call late afternoon that our basement drains were backing up and it smelled like sewer water. Ran home, ""Yelped"" sewerage and found the one review of these guys had 5 stars. I must concur. 45 minutes after calling them, Pancho and his partner were in our basement routing out our sewer line to the street. 30 minutes later the line was clear and they had a camera there to check out where the blockage occurred and what was needed to remedy the situation. $275 is not cheap, but for the rapidity and quality of their response, it was well worth it. If you get poo water in your basement and need help fast, these are your guys.
