I have used Loves Plumbing and Sewer for the past 5 years for a few times. John and his crew do outstanding work & repairs. He operates his business with great passion and dedication. He responds quickly and is “on the scene” in a timely manner. John uses his knowledge with extreme care and patience. I have referred him to my family and friends and he’s never come up short. Being a retired police officer of Chicago, and having witnessed some poor jobs, John has demonstrated great skills and the ability to get the job done big or small. Without hesitation, I’m happy to give Loves Plumbing and Sewer 5 Stars!

John and his team were delightful to work with and highly professional throughout the entire process! We hired them to rough in our basement bathroom. They arrived on time and John communicated with us regularly and clearly about the status of the project, showed me progress first hand and communicated clearly about what needed to be done. This trait is so rare nowadays with plumbers and service technicians alike keeping homeowners in the dark about whats going on so this is something I very much appreciated! Thank you to John and his team! I will definitely be using you again in the future for all my plumbing and sewer projects!

I’m very grateful to John and Danny for coming out and getting our sewer open. After our basement flooded with sewer water and we paid another plumber $4,000 thinking he had done a thorough job, 6 weeks later our basement flooded again and we came to find out the job was not as thorough as we thought. John gave excellent advice over the phone, and came out the next day to get the job done right. He has been cognizant of our budget and has been so kind and ensured that I understood all my options completely. I’m so happy to have a plumber I can trust. I’ll be recommending him to everyone and can’t wait to employ him for all my future projects.

Initially he didnt think hed be able to make it until tomorrow but he reached out to one of his techs who was out here to help within a couple of hours. Sink running well a few hours after my initial call with great service. Thanks!

We just bought an old home and have started to fix years of deferred maintenance and repair problems. John has brought a sense of sanity to the process. John is professional, punctual, and left the site spotless. Good communicator and helped me understand how things work.

Our whole family has been using Loves Plumbing for over 17 Years and all work is done in a timely and efficient manner and the rates are very affordable. John also services our commercial property as well. Hopefully he wont retire any time soon! Very reputable and highly recommended for any of your plumbing needs!

One of the best plumbing-service experiences I’ve had. Honest, timely and responsive, willing to give rough estimates of some services without a paid visit, and John handled some unexpected snags with the work we needed done but took them in stride and came out a victor. Highly recommend!

John Love and his team quickly stepped in to diagnose and repair multiple breaks in my main sewer line. He and his team were a pleasure to deal with. They were prompt, thorough, and incredibly conscientious of not causing a disturbance to my tenants. The price was fair and the work was quickly completed -including the permit process. John has won himself a customer for life, and I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

I have hired John for both big and small jobs in my home over the last few years and will continue to hire him in the future. He is always very thorough, informative and on top of his communication. I trust his experience and expertise and have also referred him to friends with plumbing needs. As a first time homeowner, it has been great having a plumber that I can trust.

We had Loves Plumbing and Sewer do some work for our daughter. It was replacing some very old plumbing in her bathroom and kitchen. Loves plumbing explained what the problem was and how much it would cost. They did an excellent job and there price was very reasonable. We will definitely keep using them because of there excellent work.

John has helped me with a few projects now. Ive called each time because I know Im getting good service. John provides a thorough explanation of whats going on and provides a solution for any problems along the way. John and his team go above and beyond to make sure the job is done right, and that the client understands what was done. I will continue to reach out to John for any plumbing issues or projects that arise.

I recently had a sewerage backup in my crawl space, and I hired John to take care of it. He was professional, prompt, and did an excellent job at a fair price. The communication was clear and prompt throughout the process, and the price was upfront, so there were no surprises. The job was more complicated than expected, as he had to replace part of the sewer pipe and dig through a lot of rocks and roots, which was no easy task. Despite the added difficulty, John didn’t jack up the price, which I really appreciated. He worked efficiently, explained everything clearly, and made sure everything was cleaned up afterward. I highly recommend John for any plumbing needs. Great service and great value!

John did a wonderful job fixing the back up that we had at our daycare. When he found out it was a daycare with children present, he came out within 1 hour of the call. Very thankful and like forward to working with him should needs dictate.

Communication, honesty, and skill matter a lot for plumbing customers. John Love is excellent at all of these. He was quickly responsive to my initial call, and texted me with every update and delay. He is very clear when he describes problems and solutions. He showed me ways I could save money midway through the project. He stayed for a while after the project and checked in the next day to be sure all went well. All pros should do business this way.

John Love is always my first call for anything plumbing related. John takes his work very seriously and is a true professional. I have his number saved in my phone and not only is he the first call, he is always the only call I need to make.John has completed multiple jobs for me and my family, from Sump Pump Replacement, fixing drainage and rodding the kitchen lines. Most recently John completed that job for us, it was a very stubborn job but John persisted and ultimately on the scheduled day we were unable to remove the clog. The line was moving though, and John said dont worry ill be back in the morning and we will get it.And he did. I got a text first thing in the morning that he was on his way, and the job was done.It takes a real professional who is unwilling to give up, one who is persistent, one who keeps their word and commitments to customers. John is all of the above. This is why he is my only plumber.

I live in a 100+ year old bungalow in Portage Park. Ive had the pleasure of knowing John for the past 6 years. I have needed his help on 4 different occasions. From very urgent to non-emergency, each time Loves Plumbing and Sewer has went above and beyond in addressing and fixing the problems. I feel very fortunate that if I ever need a plumber, John is just a text or phone call away:1) Summer 2018 - Decades old cartridge broke on tub facet and I was unable to get it removed/replaced. John came over on a Saturday afternoon and fixed the problem.2) January 2019 - Water line leading into the basement broke and cause leakage under concrete foundation. John and team came our, jackhammered and fixed the issue.3) May 2019 - John partnered with DMJ Contractors to rehab our basement bathroom. His part included jackhammering through TWO layers of concrete and putting in all new plumbing, shower, vanity and toilet. The end results was truly amazing. It went from the worst bathroom in the house to the best. To this day we are so happy with the results.4) May 2024 - I never remember to turn off water to outside faucet. Well, this winter it froze and when I went to turn on the faucet, water poured down the inside of my furnace room wall. Within 48 hours, John came out, accessed the situation and replaced the faucet/sillcock from a plumbing supply store.

John and his team were really great. We had to replace a section of the sewer line on a house we just bought. John was very professional from the beginning. He very carefully explained everything that was needed and every detail of how things were going throughout the project. I would highly recommend his team for anyone.

John and his team are exceptional and professional. They installed a flood control system in our basement due to the recent flooding in the area. He was quick to respond to my information request, offered a fair price, kept an open line of communication throughout the job, finished quickly and the final product was great. I highly recommend them. There’s a reason why they have a five star rating from all of their reviews. You won’t be disappointed.

John Love (the plumber and owner) was on time, professional and very knowledgeable. We found him on Google bc of his good reviews- decided to give him a try- the reviews are accurate! John showed up on time, communication was clear throughout the process and he immediately found the old rotting pipe within the ceiling of our basement- it was very apparent he has a lot of experience working with older homes just like our 1916 Bungalow. He did a thorough job, kept the basement and work area spotless, even called the next day to make sure we were satisfied with his job. We will definitely be using Love’s Plumbing again for our plumbing needs! Very fair pricing and up front about everything

Hiring a plumber is nerve-wracking. Would I get a fair price? Would the work be done right or would it just be a quick fix? Its hard to find good people to work with! But wow, John and his team are honest, professional, thorough, and do incredible work. Theyve helped us with a few projects in our house and are always prompt, communicative, and pleasures to work with. They are upfront about cost and prices are very fair, always providing top quality service and work. They really look out for their clients and the longevity of their homes.

John was great from the beginning. Before we even hired him, I sent John some pictures of some work my neighbor was having done very close to my property line and John came out that day to make sure the other company wasnt interfering with anything on my end and he was actually able to get the city inspector over the same day just to double check the neighbors work as well. As far as my work goes, John and his guys did amazing work. Only took them 2 days to finish installing a flapper(parital flood control system) in my front yard. I would 100% recommend John @ Loves Plumbing and Sewer. I am actually going to hire him again soon to install plumbing for a new bathroom in our basement.

A little while back I called John to fix the leak in my shower. The house was built in 1950 and John determined the problem was in the faucets - that were original to the house. He has connections and was actually able to find the antique parts to fix the faucets! Most recently there was a kitchen clogged drain (a slight understatement!) that needed unplugging, partially due to the fact that the previous plumber didnt really do the job. This kitchen drain turned into a major job, with pipes to be replaced and bypasses to be made. It was a LOT of work, but John and his worker were troopers and they got it all done in one day. They also reset the toilet which had started sliding around on the floor. To say that I am happy with the work in an understatement! A+ work!

Weve used Loves Plumbing & Sewer a few times (severely clogged toilet, new water heater, new sump/ejector and a leaking pipe above our kitchen) and have been VERY happy! John is very straightforward and honest - a master of his craft. We truly appreciate what he has done. We would highly recommend Loves Plumbing to anyone in need of plumbing and/or sewer work!

Review 24 (2022-06-21 - Rating: 5)
John installed a brand new water heater for me as my old one was starting to show its age with all the rust and water leakage at the bottom. John explained to me how the discoloration was rust at the bottom of the tank. Sediment was building up, causing the metal to rust from the inside. His price to install a new water heater was fair and the installation and work was clean! Thank you John! Ill definitely be using this business again!

Cant say enough good things about the experience. Had an ejector pump that failed after hours. I called Loves Plumbing and Sewer and John Love (owner which was unbeknownst to me at the time) answered the phone, was patient with my questions, and highly knowledgeable in his responses. John came out early the next morning, fixed the problem and walked me through the work being performed. Thanks John for all the help and will be using you for all of our plumbing and sewer needs going forward.

Grateful for John and his team, they replaced the outgoing plumbing in a 2nd floor bathroom apartment by going through the ceiling of the 1st floor’s bathroom. Not a single tile was affected and all at a very fair price! I highly recommend them!

We used Loves for a leak in a pipe that was causing damage in our living room. I can’t say enough great things about the work that was completed. Our phone call was quickly responded to on a Saturday. He answered all our questions and explained as he worked. He protected all the surface areas in the work area and cleaned up after he completed the job. He was thorough and tested and retested until he was sure the problem was fixed. I highly recommend Loves Plumbing & Sewer!

Had a serious sewer issue last week . John came over very quickly. He assessed the issue and started work the next day. It was a multi day job and his team worked as fast and efficiently as possible to get the job done right. He also helped me navigate with the insurance company to get a quick reimbursement.

We were very pleased with the strong communication, the quality of work provided, and the professionalism of the entire team. We will definitely be contacting Loves Plumbing and Sewer for future projects.

I cant thank Mr. Love and his crew enough for their prompt and professional service. They saved our basement in the middle of a downpour and then quickly diagnosed our issues for a long term fix. We look forward to doing future business (preferably maintenance only) with them.

John was incredibly responsive and thorough throughout the project we had him complete. I would 100% recommend Loves Plumbing and Sewer to anyone in the Portage Park area in need of plumbing services. A good and reliable plumber is an invaluable resource to have.

I have used Loves Plumbing and Sewer twice now. Both times I contacted John outside of normal business hours and he answered and spoke with me immediately, and scheduled a visit the next day. Last summer I needed my kitchen sink replaced on short notice and he did it right away for a very reasonable price. The sink has worked perfectly ever since.More recently, I had begun having water back up around the drain outside our basement door during the heavy Chicago rains that have been slamming our area in May/June 2020. He and a member of his crew showed up (both properly masked due to the ongoing pandemic) and quickly scoped my sewer line and cleaned out the drain leading to my catch basin in no time. He is clearly knowledgeable and wastes no time in assessing and correcting the issue. These were (by far) the smoothest and quickest service visits Ive ever had. And his rates were more than fair.I cannot recommend them highly enough. I feel lucky to have finally found the rare plumber who I can trust to get here quickly and fix something right without charging me an arm and a leg.

We used Loves Plumbing for an extensive renovation project and we cant say enough great things about the work that was done. We had a BIG project and lived in the house while the project took place, which can obviously make for a stressful experience. John was tremendously helpful in making sure we were taken care of throughout the project even going out of his way to text and follow up with us on nights and weekends to ensure we were managing ok. John was timely, honest, straight forward and was great to work with; he is our recommendation to friends and family.

I cant say enough good things about John Love and his team. We had a very bad situation in our basement and John was able to come over the same day. Because it was such an emergency, he rearranged some thing so that he could address it for us immediately. He has been incredibly helpful, thorough, and has been helping us stay calm the whole time. He even helped us find contractors to address the issues caused by our plumbing problem. We feel lucky to have found him! Thanks John!
