Replaced the main gas line. Was done quickly, cleanly and the tech was really nice.

The project was executed so badly. This was reported to the Manager who sent someone to review the complaint. After that, nobody responded to my calls again and the manager never returned my calls or texts. I will not do business with them again. ANGI should consider dropping them as a certified contractor. BAD JOB AND BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE

The two guys they sent were here in 20 minutes, not 2 hours. They were polite, courteous and respectful. Wore blue boot covers, while inside. Very professional and thorough. Identified the pipe, made the change, tested everything before departing. Great teamwork. Charged us their minimum fee. Will call again!

I found the service to be prompt, professional, if a little expensive. Not *too* expensive, but on the high side I'd say. That being said he worked quickly, competently, and had everything he needed on hand, so you're paying a premium for quality work.

Advantage Plumbing was amazing. Both our water heaters broke down this past Sunday. We called several places & they either didn't have the equipment until Monday or price price gouged because it was a Sunday & an emergency. I got a call back from Advantage Plumbing in Elgin and they charged a very fair price for 2 water heaters plus they only charged a small fee for a Sunday. Now this was not only a Sunday, the plumber (DILLION - after working all day) arrived at our home at 7:00 p.m. - He replaced both water heaters within 1 1/2 hours and was fantastic. Trust me, if you need a plumber (especially on a weekend) - call them. They do not gouge you when your in a tough spot. They promised me early Sunday afternoon that they would replace them for sure the same day and they kept their word. We are remodeling our bathroom next and will be calling them again.

Plumber arrived within the scheduled time slot; was friendly and courteous. Made sure I had all the information I needed to choose between 2 alternate solutions, including going out to buy a special measurement tool he didn't normally carry with him. Job was completed satisfactorily.

This company is amazing! The workers were very polite and knowledgeable about the work. They will be back tomorrow to replace the sewer line in the parkway. They were honest with me and told me I did not have to replace the sewer line in the street. My last plumber told me I would have to. I’m extremely pleased!

I sent details on the size of shutoff valves and pictures and they still needed me to take a day off work and charge me for a quote. Other plumbers could estimate without sending someone onsite so I went with them.
Response from Advantage Plumbing & Sewer Co.

"Hello [Member Name Removed], I apologize we could not provide you with a quote for the project without going onsite to see the project. We do hold to our pricing and seeing the project is the only way we can honor that. As mentioned if you were flexible with your schedule we could have waived the dispatch fee. I hope you were able to get your plumbing project taken care of and wish you the best. We are sorry we were unable to come out to provide you with an estimate. Thank you"

This is the first time I used Advantage and was influenced by their customer ratings and being a local operation. Josh the technician showed up promptly as scheduled and provided an excellent overview of the products offered and how the dual pumps would function. His professionalism and knowledge of the product and service they would provide were the deciding factors of my purchase. Installation took about 2 hours and having the dual pumps is a plus. Each pump alternates and the system allows you to adjust the setpoint time as desired. While there was a slight issue of a small leak by one of the quiet valves during the first week, I can't say enough about how grateful I was for Jennifier's (office manager) constant followup on this issue. Josh corrected the issue promptly. This system is not your box store pump system, but one that should last years to come. I strongly recommend Advantage for your plumbing needs.
Response from Advantage Plumbing & Sewer Co.

"Hello [Member Name Removed], It was a pleasure working with you. I really appreciated your patience and great details provided with your correspondence. We are so happy we were able to come out and get this system installed for you. We look forward to working with you again in the future. Welcome to the Advantage Family! Thank you"

Unfortunately, they charge to come onsite just to get a quote on a simple job like replacing a toilet shutoff valve.
Response from Advantage Plumbing & Sewer Co.

"Hello [Member Name Removed], You are correct. As we stated we do charge a very low flat rate dispatch fee of $29 to have a licensed plumber come out and review the project in order to provide an estimate. We do hold to our pricing and in order to do so we will need to review the project. We do not provide pricing via email with out seeing the project to avoid providing a cost we cannot hold to. We are sorry we could not provide you with service and wish you the best in your search. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Thank you"

The service went well and the plumber was very professional. However, the price was excessive. They suck you in with a $29 service call, but charged me another $275 for about 1 hour of work!
Response from Advantage Plumbing & Sewer Co.

"Hello [Member Name Removed], We appreciate the feedback provided. The price you were given does include all labor and materials and warranty as we are per project and not hourly. We always to make sure to provide pricing up front before performing any work. Once we have approval we get to work to complete the approved project and we do hold to our pricing. We also offer the opportunity to waive the $29 dispatch fee if you are flexible with your schedule. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and hope we can work with you again in the future. Thank you"

He had no idea what the problem was. He wanted to put a new toilet in and charge 300.00 for to install a new one. Plus a new toilet would cost 300.00 if not more. 600.00 no way.
Response from Advantage Plumbing & Sewer Co.

"Hello [Member Name Removed], I am sorry to hear your experience with our plumber and company was not satisfactory. I apologize if you felt the technician was not knowledgeable, please note that we take pride in having very knowledgeable, trained and licensed technicians. After reviewing your feedback I did look further into your service all and found that there were no services performed. Our technician came out in order to locate the source of your leak and provided you with a variety of options for repair/replacement. The reason you have $300-$600 listed is that our technician provided you with options for us to provide and install a toilet or for us to install a toilet you provided. Both were declined. If you would like to discuss this further I would be happy to speak with you as we take pride in our customer service and workmanship. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thank you"

I called the company and explained the issue. I told them we had tried several methods for clearing the tub clog, and that i would need a camera scope for the drain. Two employees came and wanted to rod the tub. I explained we tried that and that we needed the camera. They advised they didn't bring the camera, but would rod the drain, and if successful we would pay them. If not successful, there would be no charge. Rodding was not successful and we were not charged. We went with someone else who cleared the drain with a shop vac.
Response from Advantage Plumbing & Sewer Co.

"Hello [Member Name Removed], I appreciate the feedback provided. I did look into our history to see what technicians were out to service you and unfortunately, we were not the company that came out for this issue. I tried to reach you on your phone however I was not able to. We have not been out to service any issue for you in the past few months. I do hope we can work with you in the future and I am happy your issue was resolved. Thank you"
