Robert Tumminaro

Very pleased with my experience with Tech PSD! I had a clogged sewer line in my home and had been recommended Tech PSD. I made a call in the morning and a crew was sent out the same day. Val helped out and was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They treated me like family and did a professional job. They came with all the tools they needed to get the job done and were clean. I appreciate their attention to detail and how they even sent me a video of the sewer line to ensure that the blockage had been properly remedied. I would not hesitate to recommend Tech PSD's services to anyone with plumbing needs. They do high quality work and truly are professionals in their craft.

I had an emergency backed up pipe on a Sunday and Tech PSD was great. They were incredibly responsive when I called and sent someone out right away. Robert came and fixed it very quickly and was super helpful / kind. They were recommended to me by a friend and I recommend them as well!

100% recommend them! We contacted them for a second opinion on a plumbing issue, and they did a great job. They were able to fix the problem within a few hours and saved us thousands of dollars. These guys genuinely try to solve the issue instead of upselling you on expensive jobs just because you might not know much about plumbing. We worked with Julian, David, and Tim — thank you, guys!

I have nothing but good things to say about MAS plumbing. My initial call was after work, for a slow drain on my kitchen sink, I had a little bit of a slow drain throughout the week, and I thought I had time before things totally clogged up, so I scheduled my visit for the weekend (WEEKEND AVAILABILITY IS SUCH A HARD THING TO FIND). I was told that MAS could have someone come out and perform an inspection and I signed up. I tried to see if I could fix the issue myself using a hand crank drain snake, and I wasn't getting anywhere. Low and behold, later that night my sink and dishwasher totally backed up, and I knew I needed help ASAP. I called MAS the same day at 9 p.m. and got a hold of their afterhours answering service, who let me know they would forward my call to the office to be addressed the next day. To my surprise, Carl called me back the same night! He offered to come out at 9 p.m. but let me know that since it wasn't really an emergency, he'd recommend that I just wait until the next day. He let me know that they could definitely get me in for the next day, and that he would probably be the one to come out and assist. Without Carl I wouldn't have been able to sleep, just getting a call back from Carl letting me know that MAS plumbing could be out the next day helped me rest easy. Carl came out the next day, and KILLED IT. Super kind, professional, skilled and also charismatic. He got the pro-sized snake out and got the job done in less than a couple hours. I could tell he really cared about the client experience, and he was super focused on getting the job done. Carl also went above and beyond and took a look at my drain line set-up so that I could ensure that it was pitched correctly. I can't recommend MAS enough. The customer service was excellent from start to slightly panicked late-night moment, all the way to when Carl came and won me over as a client for likely the rest of my time in this house. I'm so happy I found this Company, and Carl made me a client of MAS for life! Thanks again, Carl and MAS!

Carl at MAS Plumbing did an exceptional job on my father-in-law's home in Streamwood. There was a backup that was coming in through the floor drain. Carl performed a power-rodding operation that went out to the street. The clogged drain/pipe was cleared. It was on a Saturday, and they came over in a short time and took care of it. Cleaned the area afterward. Professional and courteous! Great job, Carl and MAS Plumbing!

J Sewer and Plumbing was extremely helpful and professional. I discovered a leak in my private residence in Lincoln Park. J Sewer sent someone out within a day or two. John was very friendly, trustworthy, and communicative. He accurately diagnosed my issue and advised me on the solution. While John was in my home, I also asked him some other questions and he was very helpful consulting on those. I would highly recommend J Sewer and plumbing to any friends or family members. They will shoot you straight and accurately and efficiently resolve any issues you have.

We called J Sewer & Drain at 5pm on a Friday after finding our basement flooded and they had a team out to our house within an hour. Carlos and Neris showed up and quickly identified the issue (tree roots were obstructing our sewer line) and got right to work rodding the line. The problem was resolved within few hours and they shared a reco for restoration/cleanup. They were friendly, professional and patient in helping us understand what the issue was and how to prevent it in the future. Would definitely recommend.

Plumber showed up on time and ready to work. Call ended up taking much longer than I expected, but he was able to clear out sewer blockage after some diligent effort. Given the time spent, cost was reasonable.

Had an issue with my laundry sink and my laundry faucet. My friend recommended I called Drain And plumbing services Because they had worked on his house in the past. Valerie was very nice in answering my call and scheduling the appointment. Roman was my plumber and he was excellent. The price was fair and the work was done very fast. I also got warranty on labor from the company, which is a big bonus. I will continue to call them from now on.

Office was prompt and easy to schedule with great turn time. Abel was efficient and explained the issue thoroughly. It was a tough clog and we called back, and turned out it was a separate minor issue that he assisted with resolving as well. Great experience and will be using moving forward with all my future needs!

I had a clogged bathtub drain and was honestly expecting a hassle, but this plumbing company made the entire experience incredibly easy. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, kind, and extremely understanding. They didn’t make me feel embarrassed about the issue or try to upsell unnecessary services — they simply got to work and fixed the problem. They cleared the clog quickly and explained what they were doing along the way, which I really appreciated. It was such a relief to deal with people who were straightforward, helpful, and respectful of my time and home. If you’re dealing with plumbing issues and want a company that shows up, treats you well, and actually solves the problem without any fuss, I highly recommend them. I’m very grateful for their help and wouldn’t hesitate to call them again.

I needed a water heater installation for a tenant and JSewer and Drain did NOT disappoint. Diego and Luis were exemplary plumbers. All of JSewer’s crew are amazing! They are my go to plumbers. I found them last February and I’ll always call them for all my plumbing needs. The tenant stated “that’s an amazing water tank.” They’re very pleased.

When Diego arrived to my house I told him that there was something wrong with my water system before he started working. The cold supply line to my water heater was shut off I drained my water heater overnight but when I woke up this morning water was still flowing out. This meant cold water was leaking into my hot water pipes and back into my water heater. Although I told the team working on my water heater replacement this information as soon as they walked in they cut into the hot side pipe knowing that there was running water in it. This this started to flood my furnished rental apartment in my basement. Instead of trying to cap the leak The Operators started to try and soak up the leak. The water continued to leak until they finally went back to Home Depot to buy a new shut-off valve. It is my opinion that when a customer let you know there's a problem you should come up with a plan before cutting a pipe with running water in it. All I wanted was a simple apology from management but instead Jesus gaslit me into believing that this was how the work was supposed to be done and that he had 25 years of experience and these things just happen and I should be thankful that somebody was willing to work on Sunday. Regardless if they flooded my basement or not. The hot water did get installed and the damage was minimal (only because me and my renter worked diligently at mitigating the flood) so i paid what was owed but i will not be fooled to believe this was the best service that i could have recieved.

So far so good with this company. Came out to inspect and repair my toilet/drain that has been acting up. I did a wax ring replacement myself about 2 weeks ago and worked great until now and with the video scope the did, it’s clear that the cast iron main stack installed in the 50s has run it’s course. Waiting for some quote clarifications and hoping to move forward with them replacing it with some modern PVC. This far we have managed to keep everything same day which has been huge given I’m a 1br home.

We had David from Elevate Plumbing install braided stainless steel connections for our building’s booster pump, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. He was punctual, knowledgeable, and clearly understood the mechanical requirements of the system. The installation was clean, secure, and done with attention to detail. He took the time to ensure everything was properly aligned and functioning correctly before wrapping up the job. It’s hard to find contractors who combine technical skill with professionalism and clear communication - David delivered on all fronts. I would absolutely recommend Elevate Plumbing for any commercial plumbing work, especially when it comes to mechanical room or pump-related installations.

I used AI to find a few local plumbers for a pretty straightforward job. I got an estimate of what this job should cost, given my area, and pointed me to a few different plumbers. The first company I spoke with was way out of the price range. I then called Elevate Plumbing. I spoke with David, who was personable and upfront. I told him what the issue was and got a straightforward quote that was in the ballpark. David gave me a time range for when the plumbers would arrive, and they were very prompt. Tony and Rob were courteous, professional and easy to talk to. They got the job done quickly and cleanly. A very pleasant experience! Thanks again, guys.

I had a fantastic experience with Andersen Plumbing and Sewer. Kyle and Danny were the main plumbers on my project, with Kyle serving as the lead. They were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly so I felt confident in the work being done. Several other team members also came to support the project, and every single person was courteous and hardworking. The entire crew provided great service and gave me real peace of mind throughout the process. I’m truly grateful for their hard work, care, and attention to detail. If you have a big or even a small job I highly recommend Andersen Plumbing and Sewer! Please do yourself a favor and just call and discuss what you need I can assure you they will resolve your issues and provide the best solution.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars—this company truly deserves it. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. What was an incredibly stressful situation (a full sewer line replacement) was handled with professionalism, transparency, and genuine care. The team showed up exactly when they said, explained everything, and kept me informed every step of the way. What stood out most was their honesty and integrity. They didn’t cut corners, didn’t upsell unnecessary work, and treated my home like it was their own. The crew was hardworking, respectful, and left everything as clean as possible considering the scope of the job. It’s rare to find a company that combines skill, reliability, and customer care at this level. If you need plumbing work—especially something as major as a sewer line—this is the team you want. Absolute top-tier service. Thank you again Larry and Mike for turning my nightmare situation into something manageable and handled the right way.

I can't rate Olympian plumbing enough Stars! Larry was amazing and incredible. He answered all my questions ahead of time and took the time to quote me and the most thorough manner He was prompt he was done in a day. He exceeded all of my expectations and ended up charging me less than he quoted We've gone through a few plumbers and Larry was recommended to me by a friend. I can honestly not say enough about how great the experience was and it's exciting to finally have a plumber that I want to share with all my neighbors

Have had numerous positive experiences working with Larry and Olympian. Fast response times, thoughtful diagnosis of issues, and thorough, quality work. Most recently had Larry install a tankless water heater in our condo, has been a game changer. And he even came out same day to help us troubleshoot an issue almost a year after installing! Great service, highly recommend.

Professional Drain Cleaning in Northbrook, Illinois

Northbrook is a community that prides itself on well-maintained homes and a high quality of life, but even the best-kept properties aren't immune to plumbing headaches. From the mid-century ranch homes near downtown to the newer developments toward the edges of the village, Northbrook's diverse architecture means drain systems vary significantly in age and material. When a backup occurs, the last thing you want to do is spend your afternoon calling through a directory only to find that every technician is booked until next week.

Our service revolutionizes how Northbrook residents find emergency plumbing help. Instead of leaving you to navigate the local market alone, we maintain a real-time pulse on the availability of the village's top-rated, certified plumbers. We don't just provide a list; we filter our network by your specific zip code and proactively call to verify that a professional can actually be at your door today. Whether you are dealing with a slow-draining tub or a major sewer line backup near Northbrook Court, we handle the logistics so you can get back to your routine.

We understand that local service means knowing the area. Our network includes professionals who understand Northbrook's specific infrastructure and climate challenges. By bridge-building between homeowners and available experts, we ensure that no resident has to wait unnecessarily for essential drain cleaning services.

Common Drain Issues in Northbrook, Illinois

Tree Root Intrusion in Established Neighborhoods: Many of Northbrook's older, tree-lined streets feature mature oaks and maples with expansive root systems. These roots are naturally drawn to the moisture in clay sewer pipes, often infiltrating joints and causing massive blockages that require professional clearing.

Mineral Scaling from Hard Water: Like much of the Chicago suburbs, Northbrook residents often deal with hard water. Over time, calcium and magnesium deposits build up inside your pipes, narrowing the passage for waste and making your drains more susceptible to clogs from hair and soap scum.

Sewer Line Challenges in North Shore Soil: The heavy clay content in local Illinois soil can shift during extreme weather cycles. This movement often puts pressure on underground pipes, leading to bellies or offsets where debris can collect and cause frequent backups.

Kitchen Grease and Disposal Misuse: With many Northbrook homes featuring original plumbing from the 50s and 60s, kitchen drain lines are often narrower than modern standards. The accumulation of cooking fats and heavy use of garbage disposals can lead to 'fatbergs' that completely seal off your kitchen's drainage.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Northbrook, Illinois

Spring Thaw and Sump Pump Inspection: As the ground thaws in Northbrook, ensure your sump pump and its discharge lines are clear of debris. Clogged perimeter drains can lead to basement flooding during Northbrook's heavy spring rainstorms.

Fall Leaf Debris Prevention: Before the autumn leaves fully drop, clear out your window wells and outdoor area drains. Northbrook's thick foliage can quickly clog exterior drainage systems, leading to localized water damage during fall storms.

Winter Pipe Insulation: To prevent frozen pipes during a bitter Illinois 'Polar Vortex,' keep your cabinet doors open to allow warm air to reach the plumbing under sinks, especially those on exterior walls.

Summer Root Growth Monitoring: Root growth peaks in the humid Illinois summer. If you notice toilets gurgling or slow drainage in July or August, it's the perfect time for a preventative camera inspection before a total blockage occurs.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Northbrook, Illinois

$175-$550

Costs in Northbrook reflect the specialized equipment needed and the urgency of the call. A simple snake service typically starts near $175, while more intensive solutions like hydro-jetting or main sewer line clearing can range up to $550 depending on accessibility.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Northbrook, Illinois

How quickly can you find a plumber in Northbrook for me?

Because we verify availability in real-time, we can typically find a certified Northbrook plumber who can be at your home within 2 to 4 hours of your request.

Do I need a permit for drain cleaning in Northbrook?

Standard drain cleaning and snaking do not typically require a permit in Northbrook. However, if the cleaning reveals a need for a major sewer line repair or replacement, our verified plumbers can help you navigate the Village of Northbrook permit process.

Can your Northbrook plumbers handle commercial drain issues?

Yes. Our network includes specialists equipped for commercial-grade hydro-jetting and grease trap maintenance, perfect for businesses along Willow Road or Shermer Road.

Are the plumbers in your network licensed for Cook County?

Absolutely. We only verify and connect you with plumbers who hold valid Illinois licenses and are fully insured to work within the Northbrook community.

What if I have an emergency in the middle of the night?

That is exactly what our service is for. We filter for 24-hour availability and call the pros to ensure they are actually awake and ready to dispatch to your Northbrook zip code before you ever talk to them.
