Convenient Plumbing

Had a great experience working with Convenient Plumbing. They turned my Thursday night nightmare into an early Friday morning solution. My water heater broke down and Ed and his son Jeremy came the very next morning to diagnose the problem. After a discussion about the cost to repair versus the cost to replace (10 yr old heater), I decided to replace the unit. They replaced the unit within a few hours. Fast, efficient and honest. Straight forward communication, no upselling or pressure. Rare to find these days. Highly recommended.

Great Prompt service from Ed and his Son. They installed a Water Softener for me. They did a Great job. I called them the day before Thanksgiving because my water pressure was low. Ed told me what to do over the phone to get the water pressure going and, also told me what I needed to replace for no charge. They are honest and fair, I went with them for my water softener.

Sometimes you need more than five stars. That is the case with Ed and, his son Jeremy's, business. Professional, caring, fair, clean and most importantly, they know what they're doing. After my 25 year old water heater went kaput, I gave Convenient a call. I spoke with Ed and by lunchtime the next day, I had a splashy, new water heater! Family owned and Convenient, they are the way to go!!!

Outstanding service, from the beginning to the end. Ed and Jeremy did a great job with our water heater installation. I feel they went above and beyond a normal installation but they said that this is how they do it all the time. I highly recommend Convenient Plumbing!

I have used Convenient Plumbing twice now. Ed and Jeremy are both wonderful to work with. They are professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. Both times I have contacted them they have been out within a few days to help. Their pricing is fair. They do a great job of explaining the issues, and what they have done to fix it. I will definitely use them again, and will recommend them to family and friends.

Review 2018
I called these guys back for a second job! Again - I was absolutely impressed with their work! They are genuinely honest and hard working! Not only did they fix the wax ring on the toilet that was broken, but they went above and beyond and check my other toilet and adjusted the chain! I am thankful I have a good plumbing company I can rely on in the future. The work is quality and they are trustworthy!

Review 2017
These guys were great! I know absolutely nothing about plumbing, and being a single mom they totally could have ripped me off and replaced parts I didn't need on my ejector pump. Instead they were honest and said that all I needed was to adjust my float, which they did very quickly. While they were here they also went out of their way to inspect my sump pump and adjust a water watchdog alarm I had improperly installed. They also gave me friendly tips on maintaining my battery.
They were very professional, really nice, and most importantly honest!!!

Excellent service. Replaced my water heater in less than 2 hours. Ed and his son, Jeremy, are excellent people who are very knowledgeable and friendly. They cleaned up before leaving and even checked a leaky toilet. If you need a plumber in the South Elgin area, call Convenient Plumbing. You will not be disappointed.

I called Convenient Plumbing to look into a battery back up/sump pump system. I was especially pleased to find out this is a father/son run company. Ed explained to me the benefits/risks of buying a system from a big box store, and explained the advantages of the system he recommended.

Ed and his son came out the next day and installed the system he recommended. I have lived in this house for 20 years and they were the best plumbers I have ever used. They installed a system very professionally, even taping the cables and wrapping extra cables. I recommend you try these guys. You will not be sorry.

Great experience start to finish! I had gotten a price quote from another local plumbing company to repair a leaking shower that seemed really high so I was calling around for other price estimates. I called Convient Plumbing at 5pm on a Thursday night not expecting to hear from someone till the next day but they called me back that same evening. After having me text them some pictures they gave me a quote over the phone which was a couple hundred cheaper from the least expensive option the first plumber gave me. They came out to do the repairs the next day and charged me exactly what they quoted me over the phone. Great service for a reasonable price.

These guys are honest and efficient professionals. We were desperate for help when our basement ejector pump failed and the water started backing up. I placed a call on Sunday, got an immediate call back. Ed even had the presence of mind to remind me to turn off the attached water softener, to prevent overflow from the flooded basin.

The next day I was only able to stay at home for a two hour window. Ed arrived on time, had a replacement pump ready, and quickly installed it. In 45 minutes flat, the old pump was replaced, all the water pumped and the work area cleaned up like nothing had even happened there!

And the price for all this? Very very reasonable. I would recommend these guys to anyone. Clearly superior service.

We’ve used Ed and Jeremy for years on multiple projects and have always been very pleased with their work. They are masters at their trade, professional, fair, and very personable. I highly recommend them for any of your plumbing needs.

These guys were great. I hired them to install my water softener. They came over ahead of the appointment to make sure they knew exactly what they were dealing with and give an accurate estimate. For the actual job, they showed up on time and completed in two hours just as they said they would. The work is solid and very clean looking. Most importantly, they were straightforward, honest and helpful. I would trust them again with any future plumbing project.

Ed and Jeremy from Convenient Plumbing are the BEST!! They fixed a leak in my bathroom shower wall 6 months ago and did a great job. Today they installed a new garbage disposal and kitchen faucet. They are clean and professional. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a plumber!!

We've used Convenient Plumbing for years, for smaller jobs and a large one (roughing in plumbing in basement last fall) and they've always done a spectacular job. When roughing the plumbing the inspector even told me we'll literally never have plumbing concerns in our basement because of how great of a job they did!

Ed & Jeremy are extremely knowledgeable, professional, courteous and very responsive.

We've recommended Convenient Plumbing to several friends and family members, and I don't easily do that unless I know who I'm referring does a great job.

Excellent honest old-school plumbers. I called them last week because my water heater quit working. They came out and realized there was lots of dust in the unit so they cleaned it with a compressor and wet-vac. The gas still wouldn't stay lit. So he suggested I order two parts. He could have done that and charged me a markup. And even though the cleaning procedure needed to be done anyway, he wouldn't charge me for the house call or cleaning because he was leaving my house and I still had no hot water. I ordered the parts. Ed called me a day later and said he found a piece of broken fuse as he emptied the wet vac. He said that might be the problem also and that he had an extra one lying around. So he came the next day with the spare fuse and it fixed the problem. I can send the other parts back. He barely charged me for the fuse and his bill for the two visits (At least three hours total time here) was less than what I paid a plumber ten years ago to install a faucet that took 45 minutes.

I called Convenient Plumbing because of a water stain on me ceiling! They were able to squeeze me in that day even tho they were already busy. Ed and his son Jeremy showed up promptly and began checking out the situation thoroughly. They were very knowledgeable and explained the shower cartridge had been leaking behind the wall unnoticed. They quickly changed the cartridge and ussured me the problem was solved. They gave me a very reasonable price and I would recommend convenient Plumbing to anyone I know!

Ed and his son did an excellent job of replacing corrugated pipe beneath my sink in the powder room and kitchen. He was reasonable and prompt to get the job done. I would recommend Convenient Plumbing to anyone who needs plumbing repairs. Good job!

These guys were great. By chance they were scheduled to replace my water heater during the polar vortex. I figured they'd want to reschedule but they came out and took care of the installation no problem. They were extremely conscientious, courteous, and quick, bringing several aspects of the water heater up to code that weren't properly done when the house was first built.

Not only this, they helped me scrape ice out from under my garage door to help keep a pipe from freezing in my garage, checked that my furnace vent wasn't blocked with snow, and gave me several other pieces of advice on how to care for my home during extreme cold (which, as a relatively new homeowner, I definitely appreciated).

Overall Ed really went above and beyond and I highly recommend this company.

I needed my water meter changed, but the city required that I update my shut off valves. I looked up Plumbers using the online yellow pages and found great reviews from previous customers of Convenient Plumbing. I gave them a call and they were here the next day at 8:00 waiting for the city to shut off my water. They quoted me the price over the phone and stayed true to their quote. They were in and out in a very short time and did a very professional job. I will call them again when I need any plumbing work done.

Ed and his son Jeremy provide excellent service, reasonable prices.
Replaced our hot water tank and a faucet . Called the next day to make sure the faucet was working. Would recommend them for any of your plumbing needs.
