Mark Kolecke Plumbing

Mark was great! He came out and replaced two faucet cartridges on a rare brand of faucet (we supplied the cartridges) that was leaking. It was a very tough job but he stuck with it and got it done beautifully. He also fixed our vintage shower that was leaking, which was awesome because others had told us we needed to tear out walls to fix it. Mark was very professional and courteous and even wore a mask due to the Covid-19 situation. He did a great job at a fair price, and didn't try to upsell us to renovate our bathrooms with all new fixtures. He even used brass parts, not the cheap stuff. We would definitely recommend Mark for your plumbing needs!

Couldn't be more satisfied. Had a major plumbing company out to the house for 2 minor issues. Replacing a kitchen sink and a minor repair of a toilet. They were unable to fix either issue and charged me a ridiculous amount for coming out. Got in touch with Mark and he was out right on time the next morning. Was easily able to fix my sink and he let me know that I needed to order a specific part to repair the toilet. His service was fantastic and so was his price. I absolutely recommend him.

Mark helped us in several ways at our building in Cicero. When we took over the property after our dad's passing, we had blockage that caused the water going into the sewer from the rain to spill over and make a large puddle between our property and our neighbors. Mark came out quickly and not only unclogged it but made sure the other downspout drains were properly working. Then again, when my brother needed a plumber on a different issue as we were updating the apartments, Mark came out and unclogged a drain - a blockage for which would have caused water to spill onto the flooring and would have caused quite a bit more to repair. Thank goodness he was able to solve this for us and save us the additional cost! Mark is conscientious, communicative, thorough and has never been anything less than professional, courteous and efficient.

I hired Mark Kolecke Plumbing based on a referral from my realtor. They were supposed to extend a gaspipe to my stove. After the job was done and I was told the plumber had tested the pipes for gas leaks, I left the house to run errands for a few hours. When I came back to the house, the smell of gas was extremely potent upon entering through the front door. I called People's Gas and notified them of the issue right away. Mark Polecke tried to talk me out of having People's Gas come at all, even though he told me he wouldn't be able to get to my house for more than an hour. Luckily I did not listen to him. I am three months pregnant and feared for mine and my unborn baby's safety. When People's Gas arrived on the scene they told me that the plumber had used an old valve that did not fit the new pipe he had installed. It had been actively leaking all day and was still bubbling when they pushed out the stove. When the plumbers finally arrived at my house after the gas company turned off the gas, I did not get an in person apology to my face. When I asked for a discount for the potential harm and frustration, I was refused. I understand people make mistakes, but they were not even apologetic and instead made excuses for their poor service. My realtor has said she will never refer business to them again.

The drain in my basement was clogged and flooding, called Mark and he couldn't make it out, but Bill came to the house the next day. Super professional and he stayed to make sure everything was done right and correct. Bill called Mark to keep him updated on the status of what was going on and the price did not break the bank. Definitely recommend them and will be using them whenever I need a plumber.

I had, what I was led to believe, a major problem to correct in my basement, I called Mark Kolecke Plumbing for a price quote. His quote was more reasonable than any others I had gotten. I realized then how important it is to check Yelp for references & get quotes, for any work you need to have done. Mark and his helper Bill showed up two days later & not only completed the job in record time, but looked over other connections that might cause future problems. Mark is thorough and honest, these traits are hard to find, in these times.

Mark is professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Once you've hired him you'll never want another plumber again.

A couple years ago, we were in need of a basement flood-control system. Most of the plumbers we spoke with wanted to install a check-valve system, and felt that it wasn't even really possible to install a less-expensive modified overhead sewer at our property, most likely due to some ""extra work"" it required. Mark, however, didn't see the so-called ""extra work"" as extra work. He just saw it as what was necessary to provide the best solution to our basement-flooding issue. We saved a lot of money with Mark.

Mark's been doing great work for us for a few years now. We've had him in for a few other, smaller issues, all of which have been fixed in a timely manner. His prices are always very fair. His estimates -- in my case -- have always been better than the competition's. He's an honest, friendly, professional plumber.
