    Matt and his team were excellent to work with! From the initial phone call, Matt took his time to understand the issue I was having (sump pump) and give me an idea of what could be done. He then came out on site and gave me multiple options for solutions. Very clear communication throughout the project was much appreciated. They also have very competitive pricing with a high quality of work! Matt and his team were able to extend and connect my sump pump to a storm drain that was in my back yard which was causing constant water pooling and erosion. Extremely happy with the results. Would certainly recommend them!

    I had called Fox Valley Plumbing because we had an issue with the downstairs toilet “gurgling” and backing up. Matt and Cody were here in about 2 hours. They fixed the clog, explained what they had done and sent me an email showing everything. They were great. I highly recommend this company. They were easy to reach. Actually spoke with an actual person. Great service!

    Professional service.Clean precise accuracy. The plumber routed the line several times and the line is now open. He was careful and methodical in each step. Results were satisfying. I would recommend this service if you need the job done right.Felt obligated to leave a positive review by owner of this company. Will not use them again!

    Matt was immediately helpful and gave me options in an emergency when my water heater went out. He and his tech Cody were out the next day and did a fantastic job replacing the water heater. Would recommend for others and will definitely be using him moving forward.

    Cody was the plumber that came to my house to attend to my emergency plumbing issue. He was not only on time, but knowledgeable and very friendly. He attended to all of our questions and was very efficient in his work. He was able to put my fears at ease by looking into my plumbing backup issues. I will definitely use them again when I have future plumbing needs.

  • Review 30 (2015-07-15 - Rating: 5)

    The owner Matt came out to our house and looked at the issues we were having. I had some idea of what I wanted and he gave some suggestions as well. He was never pushy and gave us time to research what he was going to use to help solve our issues. He followed through on time with what he said he would do and that was greatly appreciated as well.We went with Fox Valley Plumbing and Backflow services with the job. It was an all day job and we knew that going into this. They did what they said on time and in good order. I would recommend them for your plumbing needs and wants. Matt is an owner that understands ones needs, ethical, trustworthy, and is not pushy.

  • Review 31 (2021-09-12 - Rating: 5)

    Call these guys first! I had a leak affect my garage ceiling on Sunday and called over 25 plumbers. Matt from Fox Valley is the only person who called me back. He also walked me through step by step to try and diagnose the issue to minimize the damage done by the leak. I had a few more questions along the way and he picked up the phone and helped me through every one of them. I’ll definitely be using these guys for all my plumbing needs. Their customer service is top notch!

  • Review 32 (2024-08-27 - Rating: 5)

    Fast and great pricing on the backflow valve to get it up to compliance

  • Review 33 (2018-05-08 - Rating: 5)

    After having an emergency call for a gas leak we called fox valley plumbing to come out and fix it. It was a bit more than we were expecting so I called the owner who said that the tech never left and worked diligently to fix the problem. We had multiple gas leaks and he fixed every one. The owner even said he appreciated me calling him and told me if we need help with anything else like electrical or plumbing to give him a call and he can recommend someone. We really appreciate them coming out so quick and getting it all done in one day so we could turn our water heater and furnace back on. Fyi I left a negative review originally but after talking to the owner directly changed it to a positive review so not sure if it will still show his response or not.

  • Review 34 (2024-08-01 - Rating: 5)

    I bought a fixer upper a couple of years ago, and I had it quoted by four different companies.The quote included replacing galvanized with copper, new water heater install, new mud sink and drain, new hose spigot, and new cold/hot water lines for the bathroom. Of the four quotes, Fox Valley Plumbing & BackFlow Services was by far the best. The pricing was fair and easy to understand. The owner, Matt, is a no-nonsense guy, shares his knowledge willingly, communicates well, and works with you. Estimates are as detailed as you need them to be. Brenda keeps the backoffice running smoothly taking direction from Matt, coordinating schedules with the team, and made sure to communicate the details to me. Dave did most of the work at my house. He was quiet, respectable, showed up on time, worked hard to get the job done quickly, and answered questions as I had them. The following year, I had them back out to run an ice line to my refrigerator and move my stoves gas line. Most recently, Fox Valley Plumbing & BackFlow Services came out to my moms to install a new water heater. Pricing was by far the best, and scheduling was super easy. Dave did a neat job, as my mom puts it, and my mom was very happy with the work.I certainly have more plumbing work to go in my little fixer upper. Im assured and have peace of mind knowing that I can trust in and easily call on my plumbing team at Fox Valley Plumbing & BackFlow Services.Thank you so much for your services so far, Matt, Brenda, and Dave!!

    They helped me out with some gas leaks at my home after another local plumber failed to find and fix all of the issues. I called after normal business hours and was still able to get a hold of the owner and he was out first thing the next morning. The repairs and re-piping were done quickly considering it was a pretty major project.I have used Fox Valley Plumbing & Backflow on a couple of other minor issues and have been very satisfied. Customer service has been great, quickly return my calls and they thoroughly answered all of my questions and helped walk me through troubleshooting issues. Highly recommended.

  • Review 36 (2016-06-16 - Rating: 5)

    We are selling our home and needed to make sure all plumbing was up to code. We called Fox Valley Plumbing, they sent out a tech, he showed us what repairs we needed to do, he fixed all our issues the same day. The tech was very clean, professional, and did an outstanding job, the price was great. We will always call Fox Valley Plumbing for any future projects. And by the way, there was not one plumbing item listed on the home inspection report :) Thanks again.

  • Review 37 (2019-05-03 - Rating: 5)

    I went into my basement to do a load of laundry and found that my sump pump had stopped and my basement was flooding. I called and Matt answered right away and said he would be here in about an hour. In the meantime, he had me troubleshoot and I got my sump pump going , but it would have to run continuously. He saved me money by replacing the switch and not the entire sump pump. I feel that others may have tried to insist upon replacing the sump pump. I wouldnt hesitate to call them again.

  • Review 38 (2024-08-27 - Rating: 5)

    Great service very outgoing and professional. Thank you guys so much

  • Review 39 (2016-06-17 - Rating: 5)

    Our landlord used him to replace the sump pump at our place and my husband thought he was a stand up guy. I had to call on Matt a couple of times in the past for estimates and he calls back right away - a very patient guy! I will be using him on my future plumbing needs and will recommend him to others.

  • Review 40 (2018-03-29 - Rating: 5)

    I wanted to take a brief moment and thank Fox Valley Plumbing for a resent install of my new tankless water heater. Matt was very kind to talk with me extensively about a tankless water heater after my water heater broke. I was very nervous because my in laws were coming to stay for the week. He offered me same day installation. Dave came over that day to install my new tankless. Dave was very professional and clean with the installing the tankless and removing my old water heater. It was a little more than we expected to spend but all the family having hot showers is so worth it. From now on Fox Valley plumbing will be doing all my plumbing and I will recommend them to all my friends and family. Thank you once again from saving us from a disaster.

  • Review 41 (2017-08-06 - Rating: 4)

    Matt is very responsive and turned around a quote for a kitchen sink plumbing estimate within a day. The job took a bit longer than anticipated but it was done professionally by Dave. The only downside was the 5% surcharge for paying by credit card rather than by check. Seems it should be the other way around. I will have FVP bid on my next project.

  • Review 42 (2024-12-24 - Rating: 5)

    Enjoyed getting to know Cody and Dave!

  • Review 43 (2016-06-17 - Rating: 5)

    Over the last several years had Matt do several jobs for me. Fairly priced and always professionally completed. Recommended Bioclean an enzyme based cleaner and put it in all my properties to keep my drains all clean and clear.

  • Review 46 (2018-05-30 - Rating: 5)

    I called several plumbers to install a new water heater. FV was available, affordable, and completed the work in time stated. Also, noticed a couple minor additional fixes that improved my satisfaction! I will recommend them to others, and use them if ever need a plumber again!

  • Review 47 (2017-03-21 - Rating: 5)

    Matt was very helpful during our backflow test. He even suggested ways to save money on our application. Not only are they the best price, they provide excellent customer service. Great job!

  • Review 48 (2020-03-07 - Rating: 5)

    When something breaks in your home (which I consider to be my sanctuary) you want competent, professional and trustworthy help to fix your problem as soon as possible. I have received excellent service from Dave with Fox Valley Plumbing on two occasions now - first to replace a faulty sewer ejector pump and more recently to install a new water heater. I strongly recommend FVP to anyone in the Elgin area looking for plumbing services.

    While I was enjoying the direct gas line for my new grill, which FV Plumbing had installed for me previously, my hot water heater started to fail. Now I have a fabulous tankless heater and a smoking hot shower in my master bath. FV Plumbing is communicative, efficient and the consummate professionals. Highly recommend!
