I found water coming in from various places in my basement.  I immediately called Lakeside and emailed them photos of the water in the basement.  Despite it being close to closing time, Heather, Margie, Nick and team spent a lot of time on the phone with me discussing the issue.  They requested additional photos to help determine the cause of the water and ended up diagnosing it as a sump pump issue.  They offered to have the on-call plumber come out immediately and help.  I am always incredibly happy with the service from Lakeside Plumbing. They always go out of their way to be helpful and when they come to the house, they're always on time (and they work quickly, neatly and efficiently).  I highly recommend this company.

The same two-man crew who had  been at our home two days earlier to repair our shower valves installed a new 40 gallon water heater, replacing our 19-year-old one whose rust had clogged said valves.  Same brand as our old one but in March 2015, the State of Illinois mandated that all water heaters be insulated...the timing was great.  The pressure is fantastic and the water is super hot.  We're thrillled!

This was the third time that we hired Lakeside Plumbling and each time they've been total pros, exactly what you hope for when you seek out a vendor.  We discovered the company through Angie's List and we're so happy we did!  Highly recommend!

The two-person crew sent out by Lakeside Plumbing were pros.  They figured out the problem and temporariiy resolved the issue.  They also gave us an all-inclusive price for a new water that seemed fair, so we hired them to return two days later to install. 

While we weren't expecting to pay anything -- thinking that the pipes they installed 11 months earlier shouldn't have any issues -- the price they charged for the visit and temporary resolution to our water pressure problem was also fair, since it had nothing to do with their previous work.

Crew was great and ontime.  Pros who knew what they were doing.  Completed in one day so we weren't inconvenienced.
An addendum.  11 months later we called them again because the great water pressure we had been enjoying in our shower had been dissipating.  They came out the next day and ascertained that rust had gotten into the valves...rust from our 19-year-old water heater!  They were shocked that the water heater had lasted that long, explained that we needed a new one.  They were able to clean the valves so we would have temporary water pressure till they came back out to replace the water heater, which was two days later.  The reviews for both visits are posted separately.

They took the time to answer questions and troubleshoot the issue so we have a game plan to rule out the problem before we open up the ceiling of our downstairs bedroom which is below the leak. John and Mike were friendly and great to work with.

Response from Lakeside Plumbing Inc

"Lakeside was out to customer's home on 5/20/15 to install new cartridge in second floor bathroom sink as well as repair a kitchen faucet. Repair was completed, tested and no further issues existed. Lakeside returned to customer's home on June 8th to repair the second floor bathroom faucet due to leaking. This issue was repaired at the time of call at no charge and the technician left it working with no further issues. We made mention to the homeowner that if the issue should continue, to contact our office. We also discussed with the homeowner if leaking continues it would advisable to replace the old faucet due to age and quality of product. Since the June visit Lakeside received no follow-up calls and have maintained that the problem had been resolved and corrected. Lakeside stands behind their work and responds to requests immediately when our clients call the office. Lakeside is a family owned business that stands by their work and provides the best quality service to our customers. If an issue continues after multiple trips, Lakeside will look at all options on our end as well as checking with the manufacturer when covered by a warranty."

Everything actually went better than I was anticipating. Service was prompt and everything done in a timely and professional manner. I have had Lakeside replace a water heater and make a shower faucet repair in the past all with the same type of quality service.

These guys continue to impress. Thought the owner Tom was a special breed ... well he also knows how to hire folks that are of the same high caliber as he is. This time it was Mike and John. Professional, knowledgeable, helpful and just an all around pleasure to deal with.

Before starting the project Nick was very helpful in explaining to me what needed to be done and how best to do it.  Changing the faucets (inside and out) was more involved because of the age of the house and the original plumbing, but his estimate of time required (and therefore cost) was spot on. He works carefully with attention to detail and is a pleasure to work with.  I have used Nick in the past and I will continue to use him in the future.

I called in the morning and they arrived within a few hours... it took less than an hour to repair and I was able to use my Angie's coupon for a discount.  They were efficient, courteous and did a wonderful job.  I would highly recommend this company and will definitely use in the future.

L.B and Brian arrived promptly, diagnosed the problem quickly, provided me with a plan to correct problem, and quickly executed the plan.  They had to access the pipe in a wall in the laundry room by cutting a hole in the drywall, cut out the bad section of pipe, and replace with new 3" pipe.  They then discovered that the pipe leading to the septic tank had a reverse pitch, so they corrected that also. They cleaned up and left only an hour and a half. 

Both of these men were very professional and courteous.  I will certainly use Lakeside again in the future, and have already recommended them to a friend.

Even though the job itself was a minor thing given what could go wrong in the world of plumbing, we were just about to leave on vacation and I really appreciated the Lakeside crew's prompt handling of the matter.  I contacted them on 6/24 and had them walking in my door at 7:30 am on the 25th.  I would definitely call them again.

Hi, just today had Nick and Tom do a couple jobs at my residence.  I was very impressed with the job those two guys did.  They arrived on time, prepared with a plan.  They went to work right away and worked hard throughout.  Nick is referring me to a specialist for the outdoor storm sewer work, and did a great diagnostic job for that problem.  I really liked how the guys worked together -- clearly they know how to communicate and have great technical knowledge.  Nicj explained the jobs and issues in terms I could understand and I could not be any happier with your company's work.   Thanks!

We were having water leaking into the kitchen from the upstairs bathroom.   They did a very good job of trouble shooting to determine  it was not a plumbing problem but a problem with the shower floor and grout.  The appointment was scheduled for the day after I called and they called to say they could come early wihich worked out great.  They were very professional and courteous and also willing to look at a couple other plumbing issues.  I thought the price was reasonable for the time they spent.

They came out for an estimate a couple of weeks ago and ten days ago we met and they took care of the work. They were great. As far as I know for the one job, their price was comparable to another highly regarded plumber in the area but I would have liked to pay less. They did a great job and worked quick.

Lakeside came out the day after we called them. They were not only on time, but were about 10 minutes early. They had also called ahead to my wife, who is wheelchair-bound, to let her know they would be arriving so that she could be ready. The old sump pump was replaced and the new one installed within a few hours. 
It's been two months and we have not had a single problem with the sump pump. They provided a good product at a reasonable price. The customer service, timeliness and professionalism were excellent.

We were having issues with our sump pump.  Called in the morning and they were able to send somebody that afternoon.  Our primary sump pump needed to be replaced, which they did right away, just in time for rain that night.  Nick was very professional and efficient.  Also gave us some options on replacing the back up system.
