Code-Compliant Craftsmanship

Every repair is backed by a 12-month warranty. We use commercial-grade parts, follow the City of Chicago plumbing code on every job, and pull permits for any work that requires one. No shortcuts, no exceptions.

Found a hidden pipe leak using thermal imaging that our previous plumber completely missed. Roberto showed us the camera footage, explained exactly what was happening, and repaired it the same day. The flat-rate price was exactly what he quoted — not a dollar more. This is the most honest plumber I have ever hired.
Angela GarciaLincoln Park, IL
Clogged main drain backed up into our first-floor bathroom at 10 PM on a Friday. Called FlowRight and Lisa dispatched James within 30 minutes. He ran the hydro-jetter, cleared the blockage, and ran a camera to confirm the line was clean. Price was exactly what they quoted on the phone. These guys are the real deal.
Robert KimLakeview, IL
Daniel installed a Rinnai tankless water heater and removed our old 50-gallon tank in a single day. He ran new gas lines, upgraded the venting, and walked us through the temperature settings. Our utility bill dropped noticeably the first month. Professional crew that left everything spotless.
Patricia MoralesWicker Park, IL
Frozen pipe burst in our basement on a Sunday morning in January — water was everywhere. They answered immediately, talked us through shutting off the main valve, and had a plumber at our door within 40 minutes. Fixed the line and insulated the exposed pipes while he was there. Lifesavers.
Steven LiuBucktown, IL
Roberto ran a camera down our sewer line and showed us the footage on a tablet right there in the yard. Turns out it was a single root intrusion at a joint in the old clay tile, not the full replacement another company quoted us $12,000 for. He cut out the section, replaced it with PVC, and charged a fraction of what the other guys wanted. Honest and fair.
Maria FernandezLogan Square, IL
Had a tankless water heater installed in our North Center two-flat. Daniel handled everything — city permit, the installation itself, and even coordinated with our tenants. Clean work, everything up to code, and he adjusted our water pressure at no extra charge. Will use FlowRight for everything going forward.
Derek OwensNorth Center, IL
Good service but the initial scheduling was a bit of a hassle — had to reschedule once because of a parts delay. When they did arrive, the work was thorough and well done. The flat-rate pricing was exactly as quoted and the plumber took time to explain what he was doing. Would use them again for the quality of work alone.
Theresa NguyenRoscoe Village, IL
Kitchen faucet had been dripping for weeks. Called FlowRight and James came out the next morning. He replaced the faucet, swapped the supply lines as a precaution, and tightened a loose shutoff valve I did not even know about. No upselling, just straightforward good work and honest advice. Exactly what you want from a plumber.

06 / Answers

Straight answers to real questions

Pulled straight from the questions Chicago homeowners actually ask us.

Q.01How much does a typical plumbing service call cost?

Our diagnostic fee ranges from $50 to $150 depending on the complexity of the issue. This covers a licensed plumber inspecting the problem, identifying the cause, and providing a flat-rate quote. If you approve the repair, the diagnostic fee is applied as a credit toward the total cost so you are not paying twice.

Q.02What does your emergency plumbing service include?

We offer 24/7 emergency plumbing for burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, and no-hot-water situations. After-hours calls include a surcharge of $50 to $200 on top of the repair cost, and we respond within 45 minutes anywhere in Chicago and close-in suburbs. Lisa on our dispatch team will walk you through shutting off the water while a plumber is en route.

Q.03How much does drain cleaning cost?

Standard snake drain cleaning runs $100 to $300 depending on the location and severity of the clog. For tougher blockages like grease buildup or tree root intrusions — common in Chicago's older clay tile sewer systems — we use hydro-jetting which ranges from $350 to $900. We always try the least invasive method first.

Q.04Should I repair or replace my water heater?

If your tank water heater is under 8 years old and the issue is a thermostat, element, or anode rod, repair usually makes sense at $150 to $400. If the tank is leaking, corroded, or over 10 years old, replacement is the better investment. A new 40-gallon tank heater runs $900 to $1,500 installed, while tankless systems range from $2,500 to $5,000 but offer endless hot water and lower energy bills — a real advantage in Chicago winters.

Q.05What is the difference between snaking and hydro-jetting?

A plumbing snake is a flexible cable that breaks through clogs mechanically — it is effective for most household blockages and costs $100 to $300. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) to scour the entire interior of the pipe, removing grease, scale, and roots. Jetting costs $350 to $900 but provides a much more thorough cleaning and helps prevent recurring clogs.

Q.06Do you offer warranties on your plumbing work?

Yes. All repairs come with a 12-month workmanship warranty. If something we fixed fails within that period, we come back and fix it at no charge. Parts are warranted per manufacturer specifications, which typically range from 1 to 10 years depending on the component. Water heater installations include the full manufacturer warranty plus our 1-year labor warranty.

No pressure. No upsell. Just fixed.

One call. Problem solved.
