Five Plumbing LLC

I woke up at 5:00am to an exterior spigot which busted due to the cold weather. Wouldn’t you know it, it was on the morning before flying out for a long weekend get away. Left a message for Five Plumbing LLC around 6:20am, and Noël got back to me in a jiff. Maybe 30 minutes later at most, what a relief! I shut the water to the house, scheduled an appoint with Noël for 8:00am on the first morning upon my return. Noël texted me the day before to confirm his visit. He arrived on time, assessed the issue, fixed the problem and cleaned up afterwards. What’s not to love. I’m having him come back to take care of a few other items once the weather warms up a bit. Very nice guy too. So happy to have found him.

Pretty awesome experience. I called yesterday to get a quote for replacing a garbage disposal that quit working. Since it was so old, I wanted to replace it rather than repair it. Noël asked me to send pictures of the existing disposal and when he received them he communicated that there might be an issue. We agreed that he’d come out and take a look at either replacing it or repairing the existing disposal if the issue really was a problem. Surprisingly, he was able to schedule me for today which is less than 24-​hours from when I called him. This was no emergency but I really appreciated that he was so responsive. He quoted a time to arrive and kept me posted on his progress within the time range quoted. He took a look at my disposal and was able to replace it and without a problem. Two things I want to share. First, Noël was professional. He was quite fast and very thorough. He made sure to test the unit and showed me a couple of things that I might need to watch out for with my existing pipes. Second, his prices are incredibly competitive and more than fair. All good here and I’ll call him again if I need a solid plumber.

Noël saved the day again. Last week he fixed a broken toilet flap and today, he fixed the leak under the sink. Noël is responsive, helpful, dependable, honest and his prices are very fair. I highly recommend Noël and Five Plumbing.

I called Noël and he was there that morning and fixed the problem within the hour. He explained what he was doing and told me the price ahead of time. He was very professional and competent. I will definitely call him again. He is now «my» plumber to go to.

Noël has been to our home twice. Both time very punctual, very professional, fair prices, and superb work. JW

Noël was great, he stayed for 4+ hours to resolve our problem on a Saturday. Thank you very much.

We have had Noël out twice for water leaking issues from our guest shower down into the unit below. He is extremely professional, punctual, and experienced in the job he is doing. As a mom with my baby sleeping in the room right next door, I always felt very comfortable with him in my home. I also appreciate that he offers cost effective solutions and practical ideas around the home. Definitely give him a call!

Noël and Five Plumbing I would recommend to anyone. Last summer he solved a leak in the unit above mine that previous plumbers could not diagnose. Then this month I had water backup everywhere overnight and he came first thing in the morning and laid out everything that needed to be done. He was direct and honest the entire time about the issues and the the potential costs involved. That’s what I call a great plumber. Thanks Noël and Five Plumbing, i will definitely call you again when I have an issue.

Noël is fantastic! After not hearing from another plumber, I called Noël based purely on his Unilocal reviews. He answered immediately, set an appointment ASAP, and gave me his rates on the phone. On the day of the appointment, he called to confirm and showed up right when he said he would. Noël quickly and kindly diagnosed my leaky sink, talking me through his thought process the entire way. I learned a lot about my kitchen plumbing and Noël gave me great tips on home maintenance. The whole experience was lovely and professional. I will definitely call Noël again and recommend him to you!

Noël is Great!
I called to schedule some minor plumbing work (I thought), and Noël called right back. He was able to estimate the cost over the phone but mentioned that the cost could go up a little if there was not a separate water shut-​off for the appliance I was removing. (I had a water fountain in my Laundry Room that the previous owner put in as a joke). Sure enough, no separate water shut-​off and Noël needed to get some extra parts. There was an additional $ 40 charge. Noël did an exceptional job! I will call him again.

Noël was righteous, helpful, and got the problem solved for us. He laid out the options very clearly and there were was no ambiguity. He even tried to help me over the phone to avoid having to have him come out. We’re planning to replace a water heater in the near future and I will definitely be checking with Noël first. Highly recommended.

Really ditto to all the other 5-​star reviews. Noël called back right away. I texted him pictures of my toilet and he responded right away. He showed up on time. Was professional. Fixed the problem in a very reasonable amount of time, and didn’t charge an exorbitant amount of money to do so.

Noël came on short notice, worked hard, and got the problem solved in a timely manner. A friendly guy who is dedicated to his task. Price was reasonable, too.

Noël is the best! We are new homeowners who found themselves with the most uncloggable toilet ever just a month after moving into our 1912 house in Chicago. Being motivated DIY’ers, we attempted to unclog the toilet ourselves, but after water started seeping out beneath the toilet, we knew it was time to call a professional.
We found Noël on Unilocal,and, after reading many of his great reviews, decided to give him a call around 7:30 in the morning. Noël came out to our house by noon that day. Turns out we didn’t have a clogged toilet… we actually had a collapsed pipe beneath our basement. Noël diagnosed the problem and came back on a Saturday at 8 a.m. sharp to breakup the concrete in the basement and replace the pipe. While working on the problem, Noël also offered many maintenance suggestions and ideas for the kitchen renovation we plan to do in the spring.
We’ll be using Noël for any and all future plumbing issues, and we can’t recommend him enough.

Noël is great! Had a pipe burst during the brutal cold snap of January 2014. He came out the next morning and fixed it for a really reasonable price, will definitely call again!

After waiting forever for another plumber I called Noël. Not only was he able to give me a description of our possible issue (burned-​out ejector pump) over the phone and the probable causes, he actually took a look at some photos that I texted to him of our problem. He gave us a time frame that he could make it, which was on a Saturday of a holiday weekend, and he made it right on time.
He was very punctual, courteous, and transparent before he even stepped foot in our house. When he saw our problem he diagnosed it right away and gave a couple of estimates depending on what he might actually have find when he started working, so I had a very good idea of what the final cost would be. When it came time to pay, his estimate was spot on, so there were no surprises. For the work that was involved we felt the price was very reasonable.
I was with him throughout the entire job and he explained to me every step he was going through. I have met few contractors or plumbers that have been so easy and up– front to work with.
We will be calling Noël for all of our plumbing issues from now on and certainly recommend him.

This is my second experience with Noël — and I can’t say enough how amazing he is. Both times he was available on a short notice — even on a weekend, came promptly, his work was fast and expert, and he was always extremely detailed about what needed to be done, providing estimates prior to performing the actual job. His work ethic is outstanding. Replaced a hot-​water heater last year and a leaky toilet last month.
Highly recommend.

Noël came and fixed our toilet within an hour of our call for help!
Friendly and knowledgeable.

As you can about imagine, I’m not interested in fussing with maintenance people. I like them to respond to a call, assess the situation, and fix it in a timely and (hopefully) a cost-​friendly manner. Noël did just that.
He answered the phone the first time I called and was able to stop by my condo that same day! He had one look at the food disposal line break under my sink and knew exactly what to do. He walked out to his truck, grabbed a few things, and fixed everything in less than an hour. Not only did he fix the pipe break, he helped me understand how why and how it happened – poor (not so) handywork and piping used by the plumber before him.
Five Plumbing was so good, I immediately recommended them to my friend who had an issue about a month later. She got the exact same response and service for a completely different kind of plumbing need. Two for two in my book means a five star rating. Call Noël next time you have a plumbing need!

Noël helped us out while we were in a pinch. Or, better said, while we were about to be pinching loafs.
Basically, our shitter was broken. My lovely better half decided to flush beef stew down the toilet instead of pitching it in the garbage, and no amount of plunging and DranO pushed out the blockage. Worse, it was St. Patrick’s Day, we had a green beer keg, and guests’ bowels were moving into dangerous explosion territory.
Our maintenance guy, who was out of town, gave us Noël’s number, so we gave him a call. Vision was fuzzy but he seemed to arrive fairly quickly. Shortly after arrival he shoved his snake in our hole, pushed in and out for a few minutes, and soon after our pipes were cleaned, our toilet was flushing, and smiles were on our faces. I am convinced he even fixed something in the commode… you know, when you have to jiggle the handle to get the water to stop running? Fixed. BONUS. He declined my offer of a green beer on the way out; for his quick work, he deserved it!
We would have paid big bucks to get out of this digestive traffic jam but the price was on point for emergency service.
Thank you, Noël, for breaking down the dam and allowing our guests to let their rivers flow.
