Principle Plumbing

We had renters and the garbage disposal broke.
We searched for a plumber and one who could install quickly. I was able to speak with Ben owner of PRINCIPLE PLUMBING, INC
and he made arrangements to come out that day.
He was very friendly and honest and on time.
Actually a screw from an overhead light had fallen into the sink and jammed the disposal.
Ben figured it our immediately and fixed the problem with in minutes.
He was fast, honest and professional.
We were charge only a small service fee for his time.
Thank you for all your help...

Ben was great to work with! After our water heater went down, Ben was very responsive and able to help us get a new one installed in a very short amount of time. I would highly recommend Ben; I know we will go to him for all our future plumbing needs!

Ben is a legend, an absolute gem of a plumber and such a good person. Tells you what is going on, how it will be fixed and how much it will be. You're not left wondering if he will add anything else to the final bill and he is super quick with his work. He does bring the booties and a tarp which is awesome because it shows he cares.
From the first time we used him (several years ago) to now I have never thought about even looking up another plumber, let alone using one other than him.
As long as I'm in the Chicago land area and Ben still owns this company I will use him for our plumbing needs.
I'd give him six stars if I could. Give him a shot, you will be so glad you did.

Amazing!! Came out to check on my hot water heater only to find out that it had been turned off accidentally;-)

The owner was very responsive and concerned to accommodate my business. (Hair Salon) Great locally owned company. I would highly recommend them! Thank you so much!

Principal Plumbing did a great job all around. Quick to reply, quick to install, very fair price. I will definitely recommend Ben and Principal Plumbing to anyone in the area that needs a quality plumber.

Our ejector pump stopped working suddenly, causing water to back up into our basement utility room. After reading the other excellent reviews, I called Ben and discussed the issue. He quoted me a good and fair price for replacement of the ejector pump, so I asked him to come by. He came out on a Saturday morning within 30 minutes of our call.

Ben confirmed that the pump needed replacement and then promptly installed the new ejector pump. He also helped clean up the water that had spilled into the basement, which was greatly appreciated.

I will gladly call Ben again whenever we have any plumbing needs. I cannot recommend Ben and Principle Plumbing enough. Great work!

Following the great polar vortex of 2019 I had a pipe burst in my basement leaving me with an inch of water. After calling 5 companies and being put on a minimum of one day waitlist, I found Ben through yelp. When I spoke with him I could tell he was on another job but he told me he could come within an hour and a half. He called when he was on the way and showed up in the time provided. We talked about the problem, which was behind a wall, and he was courteous, funny, and down to earth. He blindly located the source of the burst on the first try and had me up and running within an hour, including replacing an outdoor spigot. He told me what he was doing step by step all along the way which I prefer especially in a tense emergency like I was experiencing.

To sum it up, Ben did great work at a fair price and has a great personality. No doubt I'll be using him in the future for any other projects or emergencies that come my way and recommending him to anyone looking.

Ben will continue to be my go to plumber. He is professional, accommodating, and an honest guy. I have used him twice, for my rental and my house. Both times were great experiences. His pricing is fair, but it's the service that he provides that sets him apart from other companies. You won't be disappointed!

This review is for Principle Plumbing based on the responsiveness to a yelp quote request. I entered a yelp quote request at 10:15pm on a Thursday for a water heater repair. Ben responded within 30 minutes- he was out of town, but walked me thru steps to make sure the unit was actually in need of repair, and shared what he would have charged so I had a ballpark idea of what was ""normal"" for the job. Ben reached out to help even knowing he was not going to get the job. Just super -Thank you, Ben! Principle Plumbing is now on my ""go-to"" list for plumbing services!

There are a lot of quirks working on a 150 year old house, and Ben did a great job installing our new 50 gal power vent water heater. Despite narrow stairs, low overhead joists and a mess of water, drain, electric and hvac lines, he had the old unit out and the new one installed in less than 3 hours. It was my first experience with him but he's the kind of plumber (tradesman) you hope to find . . . honest, a problem solver with reasonable rates.
