"Sink in the kitchen was clogged, I had ( past tense) a home warranty service that dispatched a plumber to my location. He never showed, contacted them again and they sent out another plumber. This guy showed up and was totally useless. That plumber said he would stop back by on Wednesday, the first home visit was on Friday. On Monday he called me back and canceled our appointment and said he would call me when he could make it. I put in a request here on this site for service this was Tuesday night. Wednesday morning Best Price Sewer and Plumbing called. 2 hours from that call the clog was cleared. Nate was/ is very professional, knows what he is doing. 5 Stars all the way."

"If you are ever in need of a fantastic sewer/drain/plumbing company, you should absolutely contact Flo-Maxx!! As a first time homeowner, I unexpectedly walked into a laundry list of issues. After having one company tell me I was a low priority, Flo-Maxx came to my rescue and from the first phone call they were a joy to work with. Every job they worked on they were prompt, communicative, courteous and honest. They put up with my 10,000 questions and always treated me with respect (rather than just as an unknowledgeable girl). They are not the cheapest option out there, but they are far more reasonable than the bigger/impersonal companies. Add to it that they truly take pride in their work, with Flo-Maxx you happily get more than what you pay for. Due to the number of issues this old house had I probably know Joe and his team better than I know my neighbors. Boss Man Joe, Martin, Kevin, Hassan, Mario, Elias, Felix, David and Luis were all a delight to work with. It didn't matter if it was sunny/60, thunderstorms, or snowing; weekday or weekend, they always showed up with a great attitude and ready to help. Special props to Martha too for being the gate keeper of it all and answering my many phone calls. Long story short, I will hands-down always recommend Flo-Maxx Sewer and Drain. Stop wasting time reading other reviews... just call them now. List of work done (so far) - Hydrojet to clear sewer back-up (twice), fixed leaking drain in laundry sink, replaced water heater & expansion tank, replaced ancient flood control system with lift station"

Customers say: True professional

"When temperatures dropped to -50 with wind chill, the pipes to our basement bathroom sink froze. And as soon as everything began to thaw, (on Friday night) we found that we had a ruptured hot water pipe. Water was shooting out of the wall all over the bathroom. When it became clear that our usual plumber wasn't going to show up on Saturday, I frantically called half-a-dozen plumbers from Angie's List. Only Charlie got back to me and agreed to show up after his next job. On a day that he was clearly being overwhelmed with calls from all over the city, Charlie kept his word and showed up with his partner Dimitri. They quickly figured out there were no other leaks and repaired the pipe. On top of it, Charlie spotted two other unrelated plumbing issues in our HVAC room. They were minor now but could have turned into bigger problems down the road. His thoroughness and attention to detail allowed him to spot these hidden problems and save us headaches down the road. We had our water working in under an hour (on a Saturday evening!) and he charged a very fair price given the demands upon his time. He left our house at 5pm, his phone blowing up from other customers. I asked if he was going to have an end to the day soon, but he said he still had hours to go...he had promised other worried homeowners that he would help them today. THAT's the kind of dedication I want from my plumber. Call Charlie with confidence."

"Cliff was amazing. I requested a Plumber and he was prompt at picking up my request. First time actually using Angi's list due to unforeseen circumstances, last minute but with Cliff's help we made it work. Cliff is very informative on what he was doing to get the job done and is very good at what he does. Cliff reassured me that everything would be alright after stressing about not being able to use my bathroom. He was both effective and efficient as well as professional. I will definitely request Cliff's service again if needed and recommend anyone to him in need of a good plumbing job. Thank you Cliff for all your help."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

In newer homes, plumbing maintenance involves simple fixture repairs and clearing mineral scale from aerators. Between fifteen and thirty-five years, plan to replace water heaters and sump pumps. As homes reach forty years old, galvanized supply lines corrode and clay sewer laterals suffer root intrusion. At this stage, homeowners transition from basic maintenance to full system replacements. Throughout your home’s lifespan, harsh Oak Forest winters continuously stress exterior and underground pipes.

Helpful?

Start by securing all necessary permits through your local municipal office, as unpermitted work causes issues during home sales. You must hire a licensed professional for your plumbing project to meet state requirements. Schedule exterior excavation work between late spring and early fall to avoid frozen ground. Finally, account for municipal scheduling lead times if your project requires a main water shutoff at the curb. Proper planning keeps your IL home safe and compliant.

Helpful?

Delaying necessary plumbing repairs leads to serious structural and financial consequences. Postponing sewer lateral upgrades causes complete pipe collapse, requiring disruptive emergency excavation. Ignored underground leaks erode the surrounding clay soil and accelerate foundation settling. Furthermore, aging sump pumps fail during heavy spring rains, causing extensive basement flooding. Address these issues promptly to protect your IL property from burst pipes, lead exposure, and escalating code compliance violations.

Helpful?

Your home is a strong candidate for plumbing upgrades if it was built between the 1950s and 1980s. Homes from this era feature aging galvanized or cast iron pipes prone to corrosion. Watch for reduced water pressure, discolored water, or visible rust in your basement. Additionally, Oak Forest features clay-heavy soil that shifts during freeze-thaw cycles, stressing underground lines. Inspect visible pipes and schedule an assessment if you notice foundation settling or leaks.

Helpful?

Updating your plumbing directly improves your daily comfort by restoring full water pressure and eliminating rust particles from your drinking water. Upgraded sump pumps and sewer laterals prevent basement flooding and eliminate dangerous sewer odors. Proper pipe insulation prevents emergency disruptions during extreme cold snaps. Completing these essential projects transforms your basement into a functional living space and ensures your Oak Forest home passes future real estate inspections without stressful delays.
