    I used Jan from Vanguard to repair and replace a couple plumbing fixtures recently. It became a very long day of repairs for him, as the job required more than we initially expected, and Im very pleased with the results. It was a pleasure to work with Jan, he was upfront about his pricing, he guided me on which replacement items Id need, he was very thorough in explaining the procedures he was using and why, and he also cleaned up well after he completed his work. I highly recommend him for home plumbing repairs/replacements.

    Jan and his team are exceptional. Never have I felt this good about hiring a trades person.Not only were they the most competitive quote to replace our water heaters and redo some under sink plumbing, but they went above and beyond with their work (finding gas leaks, obtaining a special tool and coming back to fix the remaining leaks). I also had them jet clean our sewer and they did a fantastic job with that too - finding a broken pipe under the street and setting up a city inspection.Jan answers your calls and emails, explains what he is doing and why, and takes pride in this work. I feel really lucky to have found Vanguard. Do not hesitate to give them a call!New vs old water heaters pictured.

    I recently hired Vanguard Plumbing to install a new kitchen faucet and replace some old valves, and I couldnt be more impressed with their work. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. Jan arrived right on time and was equipped with everything needed for the job. Their expertise was evident as they efficiently removed the old faucet and valves and installed the new ones with precision.Not only did they do an excellent job, but they also took the time to explain what they were doing and ensured everything was working perfectly before they left. They even provided helpful maintenance tips to keep the new setup in top shape. On top of all this, their pricing was very fair, offering great value for such high-quality service.Id recommend Vanguard to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, skilled, and professional plumber. I’ll definitely be calling them for any future plumbing needs!

    Jan and his team at Vanguard are very responsive to inquiries about plumbing needs. They were recently able to come out the next day and quickly resolved our plumbing/gas problem. I always feel comfortable that they will accurately diagnosis the problem and fix it correctly.

    Jan at Vanguard Plumbing was great in resolving my issues with the heat of the water in my shower. He was on top and up front with expectations of the condo super, explained what he was doing step-by-step, and noted ,without upsell, the limitations of the existing systems in the condo building. He resolved my issues, despite the issues beyond my unit, in an efficient job call and for the price quoted.

  • Review 6 (2024-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    Vanguard Plumbing helped investigate an issue we were having with high water bills in our condo building. They were able to identify the issue & resolve it in a very timely matter. I would happily use Jan again for a plumbing project.

  • Review 7 (2024-10-11 - Rating: 5)

    Vanguard is my go to plumbing company. Theyve been doing work at my residence from installing my sump pump system to other plumbing work. They do a great job and are knowledgeable. Jan always has great recommendations for improvements. I highly recommend the company.

  • Review 8 (2024-02-15 - Rating: 5)

    They were really good about communicating during the estimate, scheduling, keeping us updated with work being done, and showing us how to care for our new water heater. They arrived right on time, got a lot of work done in 7 hours. And I loved that he checked to make sure the problem was fixed before he left. Our last plumber changed a cartridge and left. Vanguard has some integrity!

    Update 01/06/2025: I just worked with Vanguard Plumbing again and still appreciate doing business with Jan. Hes always thoughtful, friendly, and highly skilled at his job. If youre looking for a family-run business that will perform quality work, look no further. Highly recommended.04/27/2024: After conducting careful research and comparing plumbing companies, I landed on Vanguard Plumbing. The reviews sounded almost too good to be true, but my experience was consistent with other reviewers. From the beginning of our conversations, the owner, Jan Pietraszek, asked a lot of questions and provided solid advice. He gave me options and price points, then let me decide which ones felt most comfortable. It felt like a partnership rather than a vendor/client relationship, which I really appreciated. When Jan and his colleague, George, arrived on the agreed-upon date, they found more issues than we had anticipated, yet they took everything in stride and handled the situation like pros. I couldnt be happier with the work they performed in our kitchen, bathrooms and toilets, and it was definitely worth the money. In fact, were preparing to do more work with Vanguard and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend their services to friends.

    Highly recommend Vanguard. Jan did great job repairing old toilet to work and look like new. Also did free inspection of catch basin and basement sewer lines and made some recommendations.

    Jan and his team at Vanguard Plumbing are fantastic. Hes the only one I will call when I need plumbing done. Very responsive. Answers all my questions. The work completed is done correctly compared to others in the past. Highly recommend Vanguard Plumbing.

    Surprise plumbing problems are never fun. When you wake up in the morning and find streams of water in your basement it can ruin your day.Luckily, Jan and his team at Vanguard are not only responsive (hard to get that these days without run around), professional, but most of all perfection is their goal. I was walked step by step through the process with updates on cost. Site was left clean and I was able to relax not having dripping water.Thank you for your commitment to quality and customer care Vanguard Team.

    I bought an older home in 2020 and have had to do a good amount of plumbing work - since the first job, Ive used nobody but Vanguard and I will continue to do so in the future. They have been great at handling all scales of matters - from clearing a kitchen sink drain to replacing a basements worth of corroded pipes and valves - with promptness, precision, and professionalism. They have routinely identified followup matters that I will want to look into when fixing something else. Both unit water heaters, all the main pipes, and several small fixtures were their work and I have had no problems at all since they completed everything.

  • Review 14 (2023-02-11 - Rating: 5)

    Jan is a skilled plumber. Gave me a preliminary diagnosis on my issue with my basement toilet and shower drain backing up. Arrived on time on the day he was scheduled to come by and fixed the issue I had. Cleaned the ejector pit, that was full of roots, and installed a new ejector pump. This solved my issue. Competent, on time, and able to fix my somewhat complex plumbing issue on the first try. Happy

  • Review 15 (2024-01-29 - Rating: 5)

    If I had known that Jans copper plumbing was going to be so beautiful, I would have asked him to install it inside the room insted of inside the wall.I spoke to several companies about my project. Vanguard was the only one that found a balance between what I wanted and what my 130 year old house needed. Jan resolved the complicated venting and draining issues and created an elaborate system in my basement bathroom and kitchen which will be invisible and take up no space. Best of all, I didnt have to add another vent out the roof.Jan and his crew were funny, personable and very experienced. They earned my trust with the work they performed and the knowledge they shared. Id have no trouble recommending them for any size job.

  • Review 16 (2020-04-13 - Rating: 5)

    Lets talk about amazing service and value that Jan and his team put on customer satisfaction.When I first reached out to Jan about a new sump pump and backup install he requested pictures so he can accurately provide an estimate. I loved this because it allowed me to get an idea of what I am going to need to invest without wasting any time having someone come to my house. Within minutes I had an estimate emailed to me.After deciding to go with Vanguard his team showed up a day later and they did an amazing job and they were extremely professional.This is where Vanguard took it to the next level with customer services and support. After spending a small fortune on this new sump pump system the alarms were going off more than what I would expect. Jan immediately took charge of the situation and worked with the manufacture to have my system upgraded due to a small defect. A few days later he was over to install the upgraded system.We thought our issues were over but the story doesnt end here. We had a different alarm going off after the upgraded was installed so after sending Jan a couple of videos he was back over to trouble shoot the system. Jan went over every part and figured out a different part of the system was defected. Luckily he had a brand new replacement part in the truck.It has been a week since Vanguard and Jan completed their work and I really couldnt be happier with all the attention and service we got. Obviously there is some disappointment with the manufacture of the pump but that isnt on Vanguard.At the end of the day Vanguard and Jan stood by their work, they stand by the products, and the went the extra mile to make sure I was happy.I would HIGHLY recommend Vanguard for all your plumbing and sewer needs!

    Installed new tankless water heater - at exactly cost estimated. The service from Jan at Vanguard Plumbin and Sewer is consistently high quality and reliable. Highly recommend.

  • Review 18 (2023-12-21 - Rating: 5)

    I had a great experience with Vanguard. They requested photos of the two issues I was having, and I received a call from Jan to discuss in detail his suggestions based on what he was seeing. I was able to get the main concern, a clogged bathtub, resolved quickly. The technician who came was very helpful and explained everything he was doing and why he was doing it that way. Im very satisfied and will use them again in the future!

  • Review 19 (2024-03-11 - Rating: 5)

    We have now used Vanguard Plumbing and Sewer on three separate projects — kitchen sink / garbage disposal replacement, ejector pit replacement, and toilet repair / replacement. Their customer service and communication is why we will continue to use them for future projects. Jan is very responsive and always takes the time to walk me through all project details, answering all questions I have. Most importantly, they produce quality work; all repairs and replacements work well. Highly recommend.

  • Review 20 (2024-03-16 - Rating: 5)

    When we purchased our home eight years ago, the inspection report said our plumbing was good to go. After living here for a while, we learned that was not the case. Vanguard helped us with a clogged sewer line, an old catch basin, an inefficient stack, old ejector and sump pumps, water heater failure and sensitive toilets. They even rerouted our kitchen sink! Jan and his team are the best! Early on we priced out 3 quotes, Vanguard was always competitively priced. We’ve not had any issues with what they’ve fixed, they show up on time, and clean up after themselves. They are now our go-to for anything plumbing related. Fingers crossed I won’t need to see them for a while, the only thing left is the water line!

  • Review 21 (2024-02-18 - Rating: 5)

    This review is long overdue. Jan has done work for us a few times in the past year. His work and communication skills are excellent. I’ve never written a review before but I felt it was important to write this one. I can’t recommend him enough. He replaced our sump pumps, put in new piping, valves, cleaned out the pit and installed a new backup system. He was thorough in explaining how the new backup system worked. In addition to this project, he placed a safety pan below our water heater. This involved removing the water heater, placing the pan and reinstalling the water heater. During this project he installed a new mixing valve, corrected a connection valve from a previous plumber and installed an expansion tank. Jan is a delight to work with. His communication is excellent. He takes the time to investigate your project and answer all questions. He has you send pictures ahead of time to get a clear picture of the project. Never once does he try to sell you on his services. He lays it all out for you to decide if you want quality, thorough work.

  • Review 22 (2024-01-17 - Rating: 5)

    Vanguard plumbing is amazing!! They were able to get to us promptly and stayed late to try every avenue to unclog the drain. After realizing best case was to let water drain over the weekend and come back early next week to see if they could use their camera to unclog drain. And successful, they were! They also took the time to explain why the problem had happened and how to prevent it. Additionally, after we paid, they showed us how to shut off our hot water heater, where our main water shut of was, and more! Looking out for first time home owners. We will be using Vanguard for all our future plumbing needs and already recommend to anyone who asks who we used. Thank you for everything, Vanguard team!

  • Review 23 (2021-12-20 - Rating: 5)

    Vanguard replaced two water heaters and revamped the set up. in my condo building. We received quotes from other plumbers and it was clear that Vanguard was far more experienced and skilled than others we spoke with. It was a big project - in terms of both time and money - that Vanguard implemented successfully and professionally.

    My leaking water heater needed to be replaced.I discovered Vanguard through favorable BBB and Yelp reviews.I called them and was favorably impressed with their promptresponse. From the detailed estimate, to the top qualityworkmanship, and the satisaction follow-up. This is aprofessional plumbing company that I would highlyrecommend and call on for future projects.Jack H.03/26/24

  • Review 25 (2023-02-16 - Rating: 5)

    We have used Vanguard for some other plumbing issues. So when our water heater pilot light wouldnt stay lit, we called Vanguard first. Jan asked for some pictures via email and then stopped by after a call. He recommended we do a full replacement after assessing our water heater.He listened to our needs and looked at the existing system which included a recirculating pump. He made his recommendations along with an option to replace the pump. We agreed with replacing it all.The next day his team showed up bright and early to get started. Jan stopped by to go over any questions. The team was quick to remove the old heater and then install the new one. Appreciated that they were able to get a new heater and installed in about 24 hours!Would use Vanguard again and recommend them!

  • Review 26 (2024-04-24 - Rating: 5)

    Vanguard is amazing, they are so fast, so through but most importantly they are friendly and make you feel like you are working as a team as you deal with frustrating problems like plumbing and sewage. They just replaced our ejector pump on our building and inspected the others to make sure that we are good to go for another 7 years. Very happy with their work and highly recommended.

  • Review 27 (2024-01-06 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve hired Vanguard many times over the last six or so years for a four unit building that my wife and I own. We are “mom and pop” landlords that shouldn’t be in the landlord game at all. We rely on Vanguard, especially Jan and George, for their awesome analytical skills and rare expertise when it comes to all serious plumbing problems. They take the time to explain things in a clear and precise way. If we have an issue that requires any serious brainpower, we call Vanguard.They are the best. We hire them without hesitation.

  • Review 28 (2023-03-24 - Rating: 5)

    I chose Vanguard because they were located near me and had been in business for over a decade. I emailed a photo with my (non-emergency) issue and they replied to me first thing next day to get more details. They weren’t able to come out right away, but I take that as a good sign when a plumber is busy enough with work to not be immediately available. I wanted to pay a professional to get the job done correctly, the first time, and was willing to accept what that kind of work costs. I emailed on Tuesday night and by Thursday morning Jan was able to come out (earlier than anticipated) and solved my issue within an hour. Jan had the right tools, replacement parts, and even took the time to educate me about some valves on my water heater in my new-to-me condo. He was professional and friendly. I can highly recommend Vanguard Plumbing!

  • Review 29 (2024-08-01 - Rating: 5)

    Vanguard did an excellent job helping with a unique project that other plumbing companies were not able to solve. I was looking to convert my double basin sink to a single basin, and Jan was a huge help from the initial phone conversation, to connecting me with another contractor who could modify the countertop, to completing a clean and great looking install. Jan and George installed a new faucet, garbage disposal, and connected the remaining plumbing fixtures. They worked efficiently, communicated clearly, and left the work site clean. 10/10 would recommend for any plumbing work!

  • Review 30 (2024-05-02 - Rating: 5)

    The guys were there much of the day. They had to open up my closet wall so I had to take out about 100 lbs of stuff and I wasnt happy. They were patient and nice and did the job as quickly as they could and also cleaned up. Their pricing was very reasonable and they stuck to the estimate. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for good plumbing work at a reasonable price.

  • Review 31 (2024-03-21 - Rating: 5)

    Im so glad my neighbor recommended Vanguard Plumbing to me! They came to fix my backed up kitchen sink, and were able to help out same day as I called. They did a terrific job - and I will definitely hire them again.

  • Review 32 (2023-09-13 - Rating: 5)

    I have to begin by saying that from start to finish, working with Vanguard Plumbing was an absolute pleasure. Jan is the owner and he is a very thorough and thoughtful professional to work with. The professional that he sent to our apartment, George, was also a pleasure to work with and completely resolved all of our issues timely and cost effectively. I can highly recommend Vanguard Plumbing. They are indeed a 5 start plumbing servicing company.

  • Review 33 (2023-01-09 - Rating: 5)

    Jan and his team really did everything right. We were still recovering from a previous run-in with a truly awful one man plumbing crew, and Vanguard was the perfect antidote. Very communicative and clearly has a bidding process that works for him. All of the good reviews you see here are accurate. We are pleased with the work, and with the way process of the work was explained and clarified for us as new-ish homeowners. Very pleased to have a found a truly excellent company for our plumbing needs. Thank you!

  • Review 34 (2024-04-16 - Rating: 5)

    I was very pleased with the work that Vanguard did in my condo and will certainly call them again for any needed work. George was on-time and went right to work. He fixed my dripping shower faucet (and the faucet handle that kept falling off), installed a new shower head (been meaning to do that) and restored the hot water pressure for my bathroom sink faucet.Any sort of work that requires a water shutoff for our multi-unit building always worries me—it can (and often does) result in sediment clogging feed lines (and pipes!). Realizing that I was very concerned about the water shutoff, George was very reassuring. He explained how he was going to proceed and went through each step of the shut down and water restoration with me. Absolutely beautiful shut down and restoration!

  • Review 35 (2022-06-18 - Rating: 5)

    We have used Vanguard a number of times and have always been very happy with the service, explanation, and great skill Vanguards plumbers have. Most recently, Vanguard came to replace old shut-off valves for a few leaky sinks at our condo. They were timely and completed the project while paying attention to every single detail. Then, we received a call following up the next day to double check the leaks were fixed!We highly recommend Vanguard for your plumbing needs!

  • Review 36 (2023-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    Jan and the team are great. They have worked with us on several plumbing and sewer projects, and have always been thorough while explaining the scope of the work. They provide professional high quality work, are very punctual, and keep great communication throughout the process. I would highly recommend Vanguard to anyone.

  • Review 37 (2024-07-12 - Rating: 5)

    I moved into a duplex with a badly designed basement. The sump basin is too shallow, lots of debris flows into it, and the access closet is narrow with an ejector pump in front of the sump pump. These professionals make it work anyway, are responsive and communicative, and keep my basement dry.

  • Review 38 (2023-01-05 - Rating: 5)

    Another quality plumbing repair by Vanguard! Our fridge water supply line sprung a leak, and after an appliance repair company declined to do the work, we called Vanguard. This was the second time we had engaged Vanguard, and the two-man crew was every bit as courteous, competent and professional this time as it was last time. They were punctual, wore shoe covers inside (and otherwise respected our property), worked diligently to replace the plastic supply line with a copper one, cleaned up after themselves, and performed the work in less time than estimated, saving us money. Plumbers even diagnosed and quickly fixed a small leak in our kitchen sink faucet, which was beyond the scope of the quoted work, and asked, “Anything else?” before leaving. I would not hesitate to use Vanguard again, or to recommend them. Highly professional!!

  • Review 39 (2023-06-08 - Rating: 5)

    Jan has been a trusted professional working on our 100+ year old home. He repiped the first level of our home and increased the water pressure so much (the old pipes were too small and filled with sediment). He installed a new very efficient hot water heater. He also helped us install drainage outside our basement. Most recently he identified a clog on the city side of our property and got the inspector to come out and the city will be taking care of that issue - a huge project that Im so thankful he was able to handle. I continue to call Jan anytime I need plumbing work as he is trustworthy and always provides options on what is necessary and what can wait.

  • Review 40 (2022-07-06 - Rating: 5)

    The Vanguard team were very professional. From the moment I called, Jan handled himself quickly, courteously, providing detail (including basic costs up front) and quality customer service. The plumbing professional, George was thorough, careful, detailed, quick yet made sure to get the job done properly. George kept things clean and took pride in leaving a spotless environment behind them.I can’t say enough great things about Jan and his company, Vanguard Plumbing. In simple terms, he is not only the best plumber that I have ever worked with, I would go further and say that he is the best trades-person with whom I have dealt. First, he provides great service. He is easily accessible and responds to calls very promptly by phone or e-mail. He provides clear and comprehensive quotes listing the prices he will charge for a project. The quote is backed up by a written confirmation.I have used Vanguard plumbing for several projects in my home, including installing 6 ball type valves, inspecting ejector pump and plumbing fixtures, replacing toilet, replacing existing valves on main water lines with ball valves, and replacing kitchen faucet and installing new angle stops. The work he has done for me on those several visits has uniformly been of high quality with no problems.I would definitely have Vanguard Plumbing back again and highly recommend them personally and the plumbing team as a whole to anyone that wants a job well done. Thank you Vanguard Plumbing.

    The pipes in our basement were poorly installed and led to a sump pump that was past its prime. Vanguard plumber George redid the pipes and replaced the pump with a new one. We are very happy with the results.

  • Review 42 (2023-09-07 - Rating: 5)

    Jan and George were fantastic. We needed our old water heater replaced. Due to the unusual layout of our utility room, the size of the old water heater, and the age of the existing piping, this was a complex project. Jan walked through a number of issues during the pre-bid stage to ensure that he was prepped for any and all potential complications with the project. Jan and George then completed the project thoroughly, professionally, and meticulously. They even spotted and repaired additional issues with the gas lines and ventilation and with two of our toilets. I would absolutely hire them again should the need arise.

  • Review 43 (2023-03-17 - Rating: 5)

    We’ve had Vanguard repair two toilets and they did a great job. What I really appreciate is that Jan has you send photos/video over email so he can give you a quote right away. He’s very responsive and the issues were corrected both times.

    Jan and his assistant surpassed my expectations. I needed to replace my toilet, and had gotten jerked around by J. Blanton. Jan is very knowledgeable and honest and got my job done within the estimated time. I highly recommend Vanguard Plumbing.Had a service call with Vanguard plumbing yesterday, because my shower faucet would not shut off. I had to turn the water off in my unit to stop the water. Jan talked to me over the phone, he knew immediately what the problem was what needed to be done and gave me a solid estimate over the phone. He came and fixed the problem in a very timely manner and was within $50 of the estimate due to the difficulty changing the part that needed to be changed. I can’t say enough great things about Vanguard, plumbing and there’re knowledge, professionalism, and great service all around. I can’t even imagine using any other plumbing service because I get everything I need from Vanguard. I am not related to, or affiliated with them in anyway just a very appreciative customer.

  • Review 46 (2023-06-14 - Rating: 4)

    Vanguard sent out two professionals to install a new water heater in our basement. The water heater is located in a tricky spot: in the back of our basement, behind HVAC system on one side, sink on the other, wall, and sump pump. They navigated around all of this, installed the new water heater, and cleaned up nicely; they also took the time to explain how it worked and make sure our questions were answered. We really appreciated this.We had sent many pictures and talked through the install with Vanguard prior to the professionals coming out, so the total time was exactly what was estimated, as well as the cost, despite the tricky install and having to reinstall our slop sink and move the washer.

  • Review 47 (2024-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    Jan did an amazing job replacing my water heater. Jan was responsive, turnaround an accurate quote via pictures, was timely, and more importantly on budget. He also had the foresight to make adjustments so when my second water heater goes the install will go smoothly. I also have an older home so this is not a simple task and some plumbers would have taken short cuts.

    I am a repeat customer of Vanguard Plumbing and they consistently offer top-notch service. Jan takes the time to call beforehand, gathers information and asks for pictures, in order to provide the most accurate estimate possible. They show up on time, act professionally, and fix the problem. Highly recommended.

    Jan and team are great. He takes the time to understand what the issue is before sending someone out. He had me take pictures of the problem toilet so he knew what model to send parts with the plumber so they didnt have to run back and forth.

  • Review 51 (2020-06-03 - Rating: 5)

    Just wanted to write a quick review for the guys from Vanguard Plumbing concerning a recent kitchen sink fix they did for me. Really cant say enough about how pleased I am with my experience with them when my 15yr old kitchen sink metal pipes finally corroded through. Jan from the main office was great about getting back to me when I asked for a quote and getting me scheduled quickly when a time slot opened up last minute. Jan had originally quoted me 2hrs of labor plus materials for a total cost of nearly $500. A little pricey, but they were able to come out quickly and fix a sink I couldnt use. So it was a nice surprise that their team was able to fix the issue in under an hour, which brought the price down to a very reasonable $300 total.Was very impressed with all facets of my experience with Vanguard. Jan was great about following up on the quote. His team was very professional, answered my DYI questions while they worked and did a great job of cleaning up the area after they were done..Will definitely use Vanguard again.

    I hired Vanguard Plumbing to help with capping a gas line in my basement where it used to be a kitchen. They responded quickly, and scheduled me in right the way. Work was done very well, and Jan even took the time to check out my water heater and taught me what to do in case of a leak. Believe it or not, they finished the job early and hence offered me a discount, which was double-wonderful. Thank you so much for everything!

    I reached out to Vanguard to repair an old gas line in our backyard and install a natural gas grill connector. Jan from Vanguard responded promptly, asked for information and provided an estimate within a day. Once I accepted the estimate, we scheduled and since I was flexible on the timing, Jan kept me appraised of their earliest availability. The two gentlemen who came from Vanguard arrived on time, were polite and efficient. They explained what they needed to do, offered suggestions to make the gas outlet safer, and walked me through the safety protocols. They did a great job, cleaned up and I felt confident in the work that was performed. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience given my own lack of knowledge in this area. Thanks Vanguard!

    We received several quotes from different plumbing companies. From the initial appointment, Vanguard Plumbing was the most professional and knowlegable. Our water heater needed to be replaced as well as a faucet and shower that was not working. They gave me a quote, explained the work that needed to be completed and we scheduled it withing the next few weeks at my convience. The work was completed on time and the area was left clean. But most importantly, I have hot water!! I would hire them again for any future pluming needs.

    George from Vanguard Plumbing did an excellent job fixing a leak in my basement. He clearly explained and educated me on the problem and took the most economical route to fix it. Professional, friendly service.

    We had some major plumbing work that had to be done in our basement and first floor bathroom. Vanguard plumbing was quick to respond to our request. It’s an old house and some of the vents pipes burst and the rest were old and rusty and had to be replaced. Jan was very thorough in explaining the whole project and transparent about the cost and their hourly rates. I would recommend Vanguard for any plumbing work.

    After speaking with several plumbers, I chose to go with Vanguard because of the time Jan took to listen to our rather complicated plumbing issue on the phone. He was extremely courteous and took the time to keep me updated on his arrival on the day of service. He explained everything in detail in a way I could understand and did a very thorough job. I was also happy with the quote he gave me, and that the quote was accurate. I have since used Vanguard for a second plumbing issue and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

  • Review 58 (2021-09-14 - Rating: 5)

    We had been having issues with our shower effectively controlling our water temperature. We had previously had another plumber attempt to fix it but was not able to replace the broken part because they told us to purchase the wrong one. I found Vanguard and got a quote that included the necessary parts which the plumbers purchased and brought with them and were able to fix quickly. They also pointed out a couple other issues with buildings water heater that they recommended fixing and provided a quote for that additional work that I could bring to our HOA. I really appreciated that both plumbers were professional, friendly and explained the work they needed to do. I would definitely feel confident using them again.

    After trying to fix a leaking pipe under my bathroom sink and realizing it needed to be cut and replaced, I found Vanguard via a Yelp search and received an estimate. I thought it could be a bit high, so I got a few other estimates and realized that it was going to be a bigger project than I assumed. I ultimately went with Vanguard based on their excellent reviews and I am happy I did. They set up an appointment next day and completed the job in essentially the estimated time. I also had them replace an o-ring on one of my toilets as we were getting sewer odors. Come to find out it wasnt the o-ring, it was a lack of a proper flange. So that also needed to be replaced. All-in-all, the quality and service were excellent. Will definitely reach out to Vanguard first with my next plumbing need.

    Vanguard Plumbing was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They were so fast to respond to my initial inquiry and scheduled a visit shortly after we connected. Both plumbers who came to my home were knowledgable + super friendly and were able to fix our issues quickly. I received a follow up call from Jan himself to confirm that I was sastisfied with the completed job. Would 10/10 recommend!

    Vanguard replaced my faucet and upgraded the stop valves. I called them two days ago and after they sent the quote, I accepted it last night and they came out the next morning. I appreciated their promptness. I dont necessarily have a problem with waiting but their lightning fast turnaround was a huge plus. I was a bit taken aback by the price, but then again I havent needed a plumber in a long time so maybe my expectations were outdated. But I do feel that I got high quality, professional service.

    We have used Vanguard several times for a variety of plumbing jobs and they have always done a perfect job. They are absolutely trustworthy-for knowing what they are doing and for upfront pricing without surprises.Jan always amazes me how he can precisely tell beforehand, from a couple of pictures you email him, what needs to be done and how much it will cost.George is personable and a perfectionist at anything he does. They often bring, with your permission, one apprentice to the job. This tells you they are good enough to be recognized as teachers on their trade.For plumbing needs Vanguard is our first and only choice.

    Vanguard is my go to now after two great experiences with them. Jan is great on the phone, and he asked questions and coached me through things to check to see if I really needed a plumber (e.g. when my garbage disposal died he talked me through a reset attempt). He had me email photos and was able to give me a clear sense of my options. George came out to do the work and was great, and was able to diagnose and fix problems created by poor plumbing decisions by previous owners of my condo - including setting me up to solve simple plumbing problems on my own! Fast, responsive, and work done right - Vanguard definitely deserves its reputation!

    Very responsive, efficient, and thorough. Would recommend 100%. I have used them for both small job and big jobs. We recently had a complicated gas leak in our basement. The Vanguard team was very responsive and spent several days assessing the leak(s), replacing pipes, and navigating the complexities of our old home. I have the utmost trust in them and would recommend them hands down for any project.

    We had Jan out to check our sewer line and basement plumbing because of a smell we sometimes get that I was worried might be signs of a larger issue. Jan was incredibly thorough, careful, and deliberate, taking the time to figure out all of the potential sources of the smell in our house which is old and was updated at different points by previous owners. He was very knowledgeable and patient and explained all our different options, and he made sure to explain how everything worked so I would better understand what to look for in the future. Jan is clearly knowledgeable about older Chicago homes, which can present unique problems, and I definitely recommend him.

    Jan is extremely responsive and helpful. He was able to send an estimate for repairs to our kitchen and bathroom plumbing in our newly purchased condo based off photos alone. Granted, the estimate is JUST THAT, so if things appear during the process do not be surprised. We ended up needing a second day of work to complete the necessary repairs but Jan and his team made it happen THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING! This team is worth the money, as the work is quality and peace of mind is something money cannot buy. I will definitely use Vanguard in the future.

    Hooray!!! Our water heater is finally replaced after days of searching for an installer/plumber. It was very difficult to find anyone to install a 50-gallon water heater (same size as my original) into a very tight space of our condo.We were so glad we finally found Vanguard Plumbing – they were very prompt in responding to our emails and calls, and Jan provided us with a reasonable quote right away after we sent in measurements and pictures. Jan was very prompt in addressing any of our questions and concerns, and he was able to accommodate our schedule and get the installation scheduled within 1 business day. The team (David and George) were very professional and did an EXCELLENT job installing the water heater. They are clearly very experience professionals.Thank you, Vanguard Plumbing! Extraordinary team work, and we would refer to all our friends.

    Just had Vanguard come out to replace an old water heater. The process leading up to the installation was very smooth, and the owner Jan is very responsive.The pricing is fair, and the work quality is top notch. Even though we had a slight problem with a defective valve that added a couple of hours of labor, Jan worked with me to agree on a fair price for the extra labor time. Couldnt recommend vanguard enough!

    I had a new water heater put in and it turned out great. The owner Jan came out and evaluated what had to be done because it was a lowboy type of heater and it needed to be measured also the outdated pipes needed to be replaced. George, an expert plumber and a really nice professional person, came here and did such a great job. He came out before and fixed a severe clog we had in the kitchen sink down to the basement and we also had Vanguard fix a pipe under our porch that busted over the winter. So that’s 3 times and each time we were pleased and. I recommend Vanguard Plumbing for great service.

Excellent workmanship, highly recommended.This time we had a kitchen faucet installed. They take the time to look at everything related and point out issues or potential issues. We had a crack in our garbage disposal that was not leaking yet but eventually would, it was over 14 years old. No hard sell to replace it now but would save labor time. We decided to go ahead and have it replace and they worked hard and fast!

Also, Jan is very communicative regarding appointments and is on time. I will always use Vanguard plumbing.

Jan performed quality work in short time notice when I had a pvc pipe issue in the attic that wasn’t properly installed. In addition, Jan installed a new sump pump and battery backup system that was much needed in my basement. Jan’s knowledge and quality of work is his upmost priority. He really knows his stuff.

    I reached out to Vanguard about providing a quote for a gas line installation/extension for a natural gas grill. I wanted the pipe to run from my existing mechanical room gas line and end in a shutoff valve under the deck.Jan responded promptly with a fair quote that came in a decent amount under the other quote I received.Alan—the technician who did the work—was friendly and punctual, and he did a great job. A little over a week after Alan finished the job, I assembled the grill and then realized that there was a small issue with how the grill would hook up to the gas line as-is. I reached out to Jan, and Alan took care of it the same day free of charge.Id definitely work with Vanguard again if any additional plumbing needs arise.

    Jan and his crew from Vanguard rescued us after we attempted to work with another plumber who was not skilled enough to do the job. Jan was incredibly professional from the moment we spoke to him on the phone, thru all the communications, the first visit/quote, and subsequent work that had to be done to repair/refit plumbing in our very old home (poorly done by previous owners). Jan also referred us to an excellent carpenter that was required to stabilize joists and fix what the other plumbers messed up, and he coordinated with the carpenter to come up with the best solution for our situation, which was very complex. Immediately, we felt safe with Jans skills and witnessed he and his team working hard to get the job done. Vanguard is not your average plumber, if you want to have confidence in your plumbers work, hire them. Dont waste your time looking elsewhere. 1000% exceptional service!

    We had a weird situation where hot water was coming out of our cold taps. After getting estimates from a few places, we went with Jan at Vanguard because he knew what he was talking about. He diagnosed the problem with a few possibilities and thoroughly explained what might be happening. I appreciated his transparency, admitting that there could be several possibilities that he wouldnt know for sure until he got in there; a lot of other plumbers were quick to assess without a thorough examination.Jan was also very diligent when he started his job. Over the course of a few hours, he checked on all our fixtures to make sure the situation wasnt stemming from one of the mix valves. And he set out on the work that was scoped, finishing in time for us to have guests over and restore our water flow. Excellent work.

    I have had to call Jan and his guys out 2 times, the 3rd time, Jan talked me through the simple faucet repair on the phone. I can not say enough good things about Jan and his company, he and his guys all wear masks, are polite and courteous, professional and the amount quoted is exactly what I have paid. Jan responds very quickly to every call and email I have sent. I have worked in construction for 28 years, having any workmen respond quickly is rare. I have done my own rehab work with the help of various tradesmen and know the industry. I bought my home at the end January 2020, RIGHT before Covid 19 started. As I only had 3.5 weeks to get my work done before I moved in, I hired a licensed plumber to get multiple items done before I moved in. Needless to say the guy did nothing but take shortcuts and put band aids on most everything he touched. Within a few months the issues started. A backed up tub drain the guy was supposed to have cleared was clogged again (turns out, he never cleared anything), a sump pump he installed failed, some pipe work he did was not done properly. Jan has properly repaired all the items, quickly and as cost effectively as possible. He is now my only plumber, I will never use any other company. Thanks Jan, for being consistent, skilled, honest and fair.

    The project undertaken was to replace a 20 year old water heater with new and correct issues causing poor water pressure in a 60+ year old Chicago residence.Jan and Chris arrived on time and hit the ground running and never slowed down. The water tank was replaced and brought on line in less time than was estimated. If you admire good craftsmanship youll love Vanguard, the pipe fitting and copper sweating are truly superior . It made me question what I received from prior service providers.As for the poor water pressure issue, I had convinced myself that the only remedy would be to have a booster pump installed. Our home has had remodeling of the plumbing on all three levels. So all the piping has been modernized and replaced with copper except for the holt/cold risers between the basement and the two bathrooms. After Jan had a look at the bathroom fixtures and the transitions between the new copper and the old galvanized riser pipes he had a different idea as to what would fix the pressure issue. He suggested replacing the valve system in the new shower that had mixing valve. And, replace the non-brass die-electric unions (connecting the old piping to the new), with brass fittings before spending the roughly $4000.00 to install a booster pump. As it turned out, at each point in this process Jan was right, there was significant blockage in the fixtures and DE unions. Long story short, Im very happy with the water pressure at all of my fixtures and it cost a lot less in labor and parts than the booster pump! These guys know plumbing and that is evident in their honesty, workmanship and troubleshooting.

    I have used Vanguard Plumbing for a number of tasks in both my condo and for the building on behalf of our Condo Association. Recently, I hired them to replace the SumpPro battery backup unit for our building sump pumps.The unit is located in a hard to reach area only about 4 feet tall and it weighs a total of 200 lbs with batteries. So id have to say, its a back breaker of job. The guys showed up on time as I have come to expect from Vanguard. They removed the old unit and installed the new unit in under an hour. They left the area cleaner than what it was before they showed up. And Jan from Vanguard follows up after the job is completed to make sure everything was done to my satisfaction, which it was.I looked on line for the prices of new SumpPro battery backup units (not including shipping costs), and the price was the same as what Vanguard quoted me. And of course, the quote from Vanguard included installation. So the decision to hire Vanguard was a no-brainer since the alternative was to pay more to buy it myself and Id still have to do the installation.I will continue to call Vanguard for my plumbing needs because I know I can count on them to do a thorough job and not take any short cuts.

I ordered a new oven from a major home retail chain and the people they sent were incompetent and were unable to install the oven. After not having an oven for two weeks and a 9 month old baby I needed to get this installed ASAP. I called Jan and he came over the same day. He installed the oven with no issue and ensured it was working correctly. He also had a contact who came over shortly after to remove the old oven.

    During heavy rains, water backed up in a drain just outside our basement door. Water flooded the basement floor. We called Vanguard, which we have used four times before, and sent pictures of the drain. The next day they set up an appointment for two days hence, then called later because they could come a day earlier. The two Vanguard servicemen quickly assessed the situation, removed the drain cover and began clearing the drain. At one point I saw one worker with his arm almost completely in the drain as he removed the dead leaves and other materials that caused the clog. The workers used our hose to flush the drain, making sure the water flowed to our sump pump and out into city sewers. It all took about 20 minutes.

    I called Vanguard as our bathroom sink would not unclog. They provided a clear explanation of the solution and cost over the phone. The proposal came digitally (which allows for an e-signature). Their team arrived during the committed time-frame. The two plumbers were courteous, resolved the problem, and did a great job cleaning up.

    Jan and team were great. From initial diagnosis to work, I’m very happy. I also had three different plumbers quote the work. Vanguard was $500 cheaper than both for the exact same job.

    Vanguard Plumbing rescued us from two major plumbing emergencies at our home and another at my sons new home. They are knowledgeable, friendly, prompt, and professional. I have, recommended Vanguard to family and friends!

  • Review 117 (2019-06-08 - Rating: 5)

    We received excellent and professional service for our project from first contact to completion. The owner and his staff exceeded our expectations on communication, documentation, and execution. I was impressed with the way information was gathered during the first phone call to thoroughly understand the job before arriving at the site. They were prepared to handle additional request requiring standard plumbing components during the current service call. They arrived prior to the stated time. They were very knowledgeable concerning the unique requirements of high-rise condos. They answered all our questions and shared advice about future plumbing needs. We are looking forward to working on future projects and highly recommend Vanguard Plumbing and Sewer.

    Needed a plumber familiar with (and undaunted by) the quirky plumbing surprises an 80+ year old building can present so once again, and of course, I turned to Vanguard Plumbing for their expertise. The owner, Jan, is very knowledgeable and accommodating, quickly getting me on the schedule, and his tech, George, knows his stuff and did excellent work, as usual (he’s repaired/replaced a few things in ‘this old condo’, over the years). With his assistant, Chris, they worked a small miracle replacing a slow, old tub drain, replacing faulty shut off valves (including two, original red-knobbed room shut offs) and recapping an above-floor capped radiator pipe so it’s now below the floor so my new marble flooring will be obstruction-free! I also really like how accommodating they all are with all of my questions. I don’t want to get in their way, but I do appreciate being able to learn a few things about our plumbing system (that’s even more ‘vintage’ than me!).

  • Review 119 (2021-06-21 - Rating: 5)

    Jan and his team are great to work with. We described the issue and sent photos, which they used to give us a quote. Jans team went to great lengths to repair parts for us when they could not find replacement parts to buy. Jan is very responsive, and well call them any time we have plumbing issues in the future! Highly recommend.

  • Review 120 (2019-04-09 - Rating: 5)

    Jan, George and Vanguard are some of the best, the most knowledgeable, and the most trusted plumbers I have ever dealt with. Jan most recently saved me $8,000 from what a BIG chain plumber quoted me, and he fixed the problem in less than three hours. They will NEVER take advantage of you, or try to rip you off, just tell you exactly what your house needs to get the plumbing fixed, and then they do it. They are very experienced in older plumbing systems as well. I have used them 7-8 times or more. If youre unsure about what to do, or what a plumber has told you and want a second opinion, give them a call. Their charges are quite reasonable for the excellent service they provide. They are very busy guys, but well worth the wait if you need something done right.

    I have used Vanguard for smaller jobs in the past, but after this weekend, I’m not going to call anyone else again.I asked Jan to replace some on valves on my city water meter, and there were a few issues with BBOX. Jan told me exactly what I needed to do, and even came back the following day to make sure I didn’t have any leaks.I also contracted a handyman company to swap out my water heater. When the handyman company cancelled on me, Jan was able to fit me in that afternoon and made sure that I would have hot water for the weekend. Thanks again everything Jan!

  • Review 122 (2019-08-09 - Rating: 5)

    The best in the business. I own two restaurants in the city along with a 130 year old Victorian so I probably find myself calling a plumber more than the average Chicagoan. Jan is always thorough, responsive, and takes pride in his work. Something that isn’t too easy to find these days. If you want it done right the first time give Vanguard a call.

  • Review 123 (2020-09-02 - Rating: 5)

    Hired Jan as a specialist to review a sewer oddity found in general inspection on a SFH purchase. That was quickly identified, however Jan also took the time to go over all of the plumbing with me. He found numerous places where the plumbing had not been added to or updated properly. The amount of work to fix it up to current code was great, and Jans thoroughness helped us avoid huge bills in the future by passing on the property. Highly recommend!

  • Review 124 (2024-08-01 - Rating: 5)

    I got quotes from several places which were significantly cheaper but I will say Jan and his team were worth the price. No one had any idea how to fix my model of toilet (we had an issue with constant water running, and the tank was built into the wall, European style), but Jan looked and knew immediately what was wrong. Within a few hours everything was back to running perfectly. He even found a weakened water line which saved us paying tons of expenses in damages should it have leaked. We would definitely reach out again in the future, they were very professional, communicated clearly and upfront, and did an outstanding job.

  • Review 125 (2020-04-02 - Rating: 5)

    We called Vanguard due to a leaky shower head (a problem that another supposedly high quality plumbing company failed to fix). Vanguard got us a quote within hours, came out the next day, and fixed the leak at the price quoted. Highly recommend - well call them again.

    I had a bad bathroom drain clog and my usual plumber couldnt get here to work on it. I called Jan at Vanguard and he was able to come out within the hour. Jan is very professional and fair. (Not to mention the fact that he is a very nice and polite man.) Also, he has good attention to detail. He left my bathroom cleaner than he found it. My drain runs clear and I have Jan to thank. I will happily have Jan back again next time I need a plumber.

  • Review 130 (2022-08-06 - Rating: 5)

    I highly suggest working with Vanguard Plumbing and Sewer. I came to them with an enormous list of issues that piled up during the last two years and they were able to tackle them quickly with quality and care. I had: a leaky shower, a broken tub faucet, needed to replace the showerhead, remove a pedestal sink and replace it with a new sink and cabinet, replace broken valves on said sink, install a bidet and replace a kitchen p-trap. They were able to work efficiently despite my awful building management dropping the water shut off twice... and also communicate issues to this layman so I was always aware of what was being done. I also wanted to note; I have a trash immune system and have to take a bunch of immunosuppressants which is not a great mix in a pandemic. I requested we all wear masks while they were in my place and they respectfully obliged. This act and care was so so appreciated. Thank you!

  • Review 131 (2019-10-10 - Rating: 5)

    I had to replace a toilet in a bathroom where the spaces were tight. After viewing photographs, Jan figured out the one model, a Gerber Viper, that would fit in the space. They were able to schedule me in very quickly. George, an experienced plumber, and Chris, an apprentice, hauled the new toilet up three flights of stairs, put it together, installed it, and then hauled the old toilet away, and remained pleasant and calm during the whole process. Dealing with the 90-year-old pipes in my bathroom must have been challenging, but it actually took a little less time than had been estimated. Everything was cleaned up before they left.

    Jan and George have done 5 different jobs for me at a couple different places that Ive lived: (1) Fix and replace a leaking toilet flange that someone else improperly installed before I bought my condo, (2) Replaced my leaking water heater (3) Replace a leaking shower valve as well as old supply lines to the valve + install new quarter-turn shutoffs, (4) install a new zero-freeze exterior hose bib plus an interior quarter-turn shutoff to the hose bib and (5) replace leaking sewage pipes.Every single job was done with a very high level of detail. When these guys sweat pipes, every joint is perfect. They clean off residual flux after they make connections. They properly anchor pipes in walls so there is no movement in the pipes when you open and close valves. They route pipes and install shutoff valves where there is easy access to the valves... etc etc. Of all the tradesman that Ive hired to do work on my current or previous homes, I probably trust these guys more than anyone else to do exceptional, high-quality work on every job.
