The 15 plumbers serving Homer Glen, ranked.

We read 2,050 reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB for the 60 plumbers serving Homer Glen — including the one-star reviews other directories bury — and ranked them the way we'd rank them for a friend. 42 of the 60 list 24/7 hours — but "open 24 hours" on a Google profile and "answered at 2 a.m." in a customer review are not the same claim, and we quote the reviews that tell you which is which. Rankings are not for sale.

Homer Glen's problem isn't finding a plumber; it's telling them apart — the median rating here is 4.8, and when everyone has five stars, the stars stop helping. 38 of these companies carry 100+ reviews — enough history for real patterns to show. The patterns differ more than the ratings do: 34 of the 60 have a repeated complaint pattern in their reviews — quotes that grew mid-job, unreturned callbacks — flagged and quoted on their cards below. One number worth knowing: only one company in this radius — A Plumber In 1 Hour Company — sits below 4.0 (3.8). Across the reviews we analyzed, the work named most often is water heaters and sewer work.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown Homer GlenHow we rank
How we rank — the 60-second version

What we read: for each plumber, up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB — the full text, not just the stars. For this page: 691 reviews across 15 businesses.

What moves a plumber up: repeated, independent evidence of showing up when promised, fair and upfront pricing, and work that holds. One glowing review counts for little; twenty that agree count for a lot.

What moves a plumber down: repeated complaint patterns — surprise fees, missed appointments, pressure sales — especially when they show up on more than one platform.

What never moves the ranking: money. One clearly labeled sponsored slot may appear above this list; it never changes the order below it.

Our take on each plumber is our opinion, grounded in the reviews we quote on this page. Full methodology ↓

4.8 (685 Google reviews) 11.3 mi from downtown Homer GlenNot a 24/7 shop

BBB A+ accredited with 4.8 across 685 Google reviews; reviewers cite ETA texts/calls, on-time arrivals, and water heater explanations. One 1-star user got a 1-5pm window then was turned away at 4pm for a busted pipe, and a 2-star sewer-odor visit felt like only basic checks.

Why we're cautious

  • Scope-of-coverage surprise at the door: technician arrived inside the booked window but declined to work on the busted pipe, leaving the customer without service (1 of 80 reviews)
  • One customer was given a 1-5pm window, the tech arrived at 4pm, then was told the busted pipe was not covered — no service rendered (1 of 80 reviews)
  • A recurring sewer-odor diagnostic visit was described as basic checks only, with details and reasoning pulled out of the tech rather than volunteered (1 of 80 reviews)

To be fair

  • Techs (Brandon, Emilio, Branson, Frank) text/call with an ETA before arriving and clean up after the job (cited in 4 of 80 reviews)
  • Branson A walked one homeowner through the water heater diagnosis step by step and the price came in lower than expected (cited in 1 of 80 reviews)
  • Responded late evening and on a weekend for one Carpentersville-area customer who called it the best plumbing company they have used (cited in 1 of 80 reviews)

Why we're cautious

  • 1 of 5 reviews reports customer paid premium price ($850) for incomplete work with technician unable to diagnose or fix the actual problem
  • High-cost service with inconsistent outcomes: one customer charged $850 for drain snaking but the toilet remained unfixed and technician couldn't resolve the underlying issue
  • Potential diagnostic accuracy concern: same $850 job involved technician insisting on baby wipes as cause despite customer's clear assertion they were never used, and snake came out clean

To be fair

  • Exceptional emergency responsiveness: arrived within 15 minutes of call and available for weekend appointments when competitors were booked (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)
  • 3 of 5 reviews highlight thorough, professional work including multi-step diagnostics and extended on-site problem-solving (cited in 3 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • Dan M returned post-job without charging a service call to fix a missed main-line leak obscured by a homeowner's prior jury-rig — billed nothing for the follow-up (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)

  • Non-emergency wait time: one reviewer with Monday morning water heater issue had to wait until Tuesday morning for service, suggesting possible capacity constraints during business hours (1 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • Fast emergency response: 3 of 5 reviews explicitly mention quick arrival and prompt service completion (cited in 3 of 5 reviews)
  • Exceptional communication and customer comfort: 3 reviews highlight informative explanations and feeling secure/comfortable with the work (cited in 3 of 5 reviews)
  • Attention to detail: 2 reviews mention going above expectations—one technician cleaned up after himself, another capped off old line professionally (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)
What reviewers praise
With a Monday morning water heater problem we had to wait until Tuesday morning to get it fixed. The plumber was polite, informative and completed the task including replacing the water inflow shutoff valve in about 3 hours. Very satisfied

4.5 (407 Google reviews) 17.1 mi from downtown Homer Glen

Small sample — we've analyzed only 5 of 407 reviews so far. Treat this as a first read.

Why we're cautious

  • Chronic no-shows on scheduled appointments: three of five reviews report technicians failing to arrive on promised dates, with one customer having four consecutive missed appointments (July 15–18) (3 of 5 reviews)
  • Pattern of false ETAs and time wasting: two reviews describe technicians giving false arrival estimates (15 minutes when 1.5+ hours away), leaving customers waiting entire days (2 of 5 reviews)
  • Ghosting after scheduling failure: two reviews report being completely ignored by staff (no responses to calls, texts, emails) following missed appointments (2 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • High-quality workmanship: two reviewers praised technician expertise and professional job completion (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)
  • Responsive when engaged: one reviewer reported Sarah answered calls when other plumbers did not and resolved a gas meter emergency promptly (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)
What reviewers praise
Had a wonderful experience with this company! Sarah is wonderful! Had a major issue that needed to be resolved ASAP and she came through and went out of her way to make sure it was professionally and promptly resolved. Would highly recommend them for any …

The most critical take we found
Sarah is the most useless person, I saw another write up about her and I experienced the same issue. She called me and said they couldn't come out because of all the rain over the weekend and I said fine. She scheduled me for that Friday and no one showed …

What reviewers complain about in Homer Glen

The repeated complaint patterns our read surfaced, business by business — each links to the card where the supporting quotes live. How we find these →

  • Flow Right PlumbingScope-of-coverage surprise at the door: technician arrived inside the booked window but declined to work on the busted pipe, leaving the customer without service
  • Four Seasons Heating, Air Conditioning, Plumbing, & ElectricMajor installation failures: 3 reviews report catastrophic errors including improper wiring that melted furnace components and damaged breaker box, units that required complete reinstallation or rework after 10+ visits, and systems wired incorrectly by multiple technicians
  • Four Seasons Heating, Air Conditioning, Plumbing, & ElectricCustomer service refund delays: 1 review reports waiting 10 business days with no action on refund, then another 10 days required, with poor responsiveness across multiple calls
  • Four Seasons Heating, Air Conditioning, Plumbing, & ElectricDispatch and scheduling dysfunction: 3 reviews document missed appointment windows, technicians arriving 30+ minutes late without notification, poor follow-up on promised callbacks, and scheduling miscommunication
  • Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water CleanupWarranty claim denied within 6-month window — tech blamed customer for the recurring issue; customer paid emergency rates.
  • Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup1 of 5 reviews reports customer paid premium price ($850) for incomplete work with technician unable to diagnose or fix the actual problem

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Homer Glen we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 691 reviews across 15 businesses.
  2. Patterns beat anecdotes. A plumber moves up when independent reviewers keep describing the same behavior: showing up when promised, quoting before working, work that holds. One rave changes nothing.
  3. Complaints count double when they repeat.Surprise fees, missed appointments, pressure sales — when the same complaint appears across reviewers (or across platforms), it caps how high we'll rank a business regardless of its star average.
  4. Money never moves the ranking.A plumber can buy the clearly-labeled sponsored slot at the top of the page — visibility, not endorsement. A business we wouldn't recommend can't buy the slot at all, and no payment changes the ranked order.
  5. Our take is our opinion.It's grounded in the reviews we quote and count on this page — check our evidence and disagree with us if you like. That's the point of showing it.
Every quotation on this page is reproduced verbatimfrom a publicly posted review and attributed to its author, star rating, platform and date. Star averages and review counts are Google's (or Yelp's) as of our last data pull. “Rating mix” charts describe only the set of reviews we analyzed, which we state on every card.
