2 weeks agoJustin has come to the house a couple times over the last few years. He took time to check our sump system and show me a few things about understanding the system. Everything was working fine. He didn’t try to sell me anything we didn’t need , explained the options if we wanted to upgrade the system, and didn’t charge anything due to our precision membership.
Charline Morone
a month agoJustin provided thorough plumbing service. I was notified that he was on his way and he arrived early. He took the time to explain my options in language I understood and provided me with the cost for each option. He seemed to take pride in his work. He installed a new sump pump and battery backup. Though the work area was a mess from flooding, Justin did not add to the mess. There was no plumbing fluids left on my floor and he cleared everything that he brought with him.
Sue Sebastian
a month agoToday Johnny Botka came to asses my outside water spouts tgst feed the hose in my backyard. What an incredibly thorough professional assessment he did make and gave my several options to fix my problem. I admire so much a person who knows his job and gives the customer an explanation they can understand. I do need to talk to my husband about which option to go with. And since I have Johnny’s direct number he just told me to text him and he will set things up and I don’t even have to call the office which is great. Your company has continued to gain my loyalty and will never hire anyone else. You certainly hire the best people and Johnny is certainly wonderful. Thank you for always giving me such great service and care of my 74 year old house ! Great service and Johnny is such a hard working professional. I truly enjoyed meeting him. I will request him if I have future plumbing issues.

a month ago⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marques Bryan did an outstanding job! He arrived promptly, was very professional, and took the time to educate me throughout the entire process so I understood what was causing the issue and how he fixed it. He wore shoe covers to protect my home and even placed protective coverings on the floor where he set his tools, which I really appreciated. He quickly diagnosed and cleared the clog, and my kitchen sink is draining perfectly again. The entire experience was friendly, efficient, and stress-free.

2 months agoSteve B is the best plumber I have ever had! I do not want any other Plumber!! Steve is the one!! He was prompt, clean and very courteous of my new home during the installation of my Water Tech carbon and water softener system. My water is OUTSTANDING NOW!!! He even added a 2nd 40 gallon power vent water heater while installing everything else! Steve changed all the hose faucet piping to city water and put in a bypass in case we needed to use carbon only filtered water. He also made me aware of how a thermal expansion tank benefits my equipment & entire home. Steve thoroughly cleaned up after everything was finished. Took me through every aspect of the installation and coached me enough to feel comfortable around the new equipment. Best of all, he took his time to make sure I understood what he was teaching me. You can see he takes pride in his work and really cares about his customers. I hope you all ask for Steve B for all of your plumbing needs!! 5/5 STARS!!! Battery back up sump pump system is next!!!

2 months agoRalph did a great job. He was thorough and explained everything well. He figured out what was needed, and used parts in his truck and some he went and bought at the store, so he finished everything in a couple hours. Would definitely use him again.
Michael Mlachak
2 months agoExcellent service and turnaround. Air conditioner died on memorial Day and the next day a tech Nick was out to discuss options. Turns out I wanted a new air conditioner. They got it installed the very same day. Good for me cause the weather was getting into the 80's. Installers Jesus and his apprentice did a fantastic job. Nice clean beautiful professional job. They even cut back the bushes that was hiding the outside compressor unit to fit the new one. Took the time to explain new features and what was needed off season. Cannot say enough about the company and installers. Will use them for all my HVAC and possibly other needs.

I sleep great at night knowing my furnace and central air were installed by them. I also had them clean out my vents throughout the house and they did a remarkable job.
Sofia Ascencio
5 months agoWe have used Precision Today service on a couple of occasions. We are grateful and satisfied with the service Mr. Isaac Diaz provided yesterday, February 26th. We purchased heating and air conditioning, and Mr. Diaz and his team did a very professional job. They made sure we understood everything about the new equipment. We are confident that they did a clean and safe job.And we highly recommend them. We thank them for their great job. Sincerely Franz Tumpold and Family.
John Diffenderfer
8 months agoI called because my heat went out and Hazim came to troubleshoot it the same day within a few hours. Unfortunately, my furnace required repairs that didn’t make sense because of the age. Hazim was very professional and took photos to show me the issues. He guided me with my decision and was extremely helpful. I can’t say whether or not the price was good as I had to make a decision without price shopping because of an Arctic cold front coming. Hazim was able to Schedule a new furnace install for the next morning, which was fantastic. I have nothing but good things to say about Hazim. Armardo and his tech came out on time and worked their butts off to get the new furnace installed. The job they did was very clean and professional. Precision team has been great to work with, High marks all around.
PREVENT DRAIN PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY START
Why Drain and Sewer Maintenance Pays Off
Most emergency drain calls can be traced back to small clogs and slow drains that were ignored. Routine drain cleaning and a periodic camera scope catch tree-root intrusion, scale buildup, pipe bellies, and cracked joints while they are still inexpensive to fix. The result is fewer backups, less property damage, and a sewer line that lasts decades longer. Our Total Care Plan members get priority dispatch and seasonal system checks built in. If you cannot remember the last time your drains were inspected, our technicians will assess your system and provide upfront pricing before any work begins.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Drain and Sewer Service in Chicago
Honest answers to what Chicago homeowners ask us most about drain and sewer service.
What is hydro jetting, and is it safe for older Chicago pipes?
Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure water nozzle to clear grease, scale, and tree-root intrusions that a rooter alone cannot finish. It is safe for sound pipe in most Chicago-area homes. When a camera scope shows pipe damage, deep corrosion, or older clay or Orangeburg sections, we adjust pressure or recommend a different approach so the line is not stressed beyond what it can handle.
Do I need a new sewer line, or can it be repaired?
A camera scope is the most honest way to answer that. If the damage is localized and the rest of the line is sound, a spot repair or trenchless lining is usually enough. Multiple failures, a pipe belly, severe root infiltration over a long run, or older clay or Orangeburg lines that have started collapsing typically point toward full sewer line replacement.
How can I prevent drain and sewer problems in the first place?
Avoid sending grease, oil, coffee grounds, starches, and so-called flushable wipes into your drains. Keep hair out of bathroom drains with a simple screen. If you have mature trees within 10 to 15 feet of your sewer line, schedule a camera scope at least every other year so root intrusion is caught early.
Do you offer same day drain and sewer service in Chicago?
Yes. Same day drain and sewer service is available across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, including evenings and weekends for active backups. Call or schedule online and we will dispatch a licensed plumber to your home as quickly as possible.
How much does drain cleaning or sewer repair cost in Chicagoland?
Pricing depends on the line, the access points, the equipment required, and the condition of the existing pipe. Precision Today provides written upfront pricing before any work begins, so there are no surprise charges at the end of the visit. Financing is also available for larger sewer line repairs and full replacements.
Do your drain and sewer services come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every drain and sewer service call is backed by our Precisely Right or We Pay You guarantee. If an issue we repair is not fixed correctly, we will make it right or pay up to $500. Ask your plumber for complete terms and details.
What is the difference between drain cleaning and hydro jetting?
Standard drain cleaning uses a powered auger or rooter to physically break up and pull out a clog. Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure water nozzle to scour the inside of the pipe wall, clearing grease, scale, and tree-root intrusions that a snake alone cannot finish. A camera inspection tells us which method is right for the line in front of us.
Can chemical drain cleaners damage my pipes?
Yes. Over-the-counter drain chemicals can corrode older galvanized, copper, and cast-iron pipes, soften PVC joints, and create hazardous fumes inside the home. They also tend to push a clog deeper instead of removing it, which usually means a larger repair bill later. A professional drain cleaning service clears the line safely without the chemical risk.
What makes hydro jetting different from traditional drain cleaning methods?
Hydro jetting stands out from traditional drain cleaning methods mainly because it uses high-pressure water, which provides a thorough cleaning unlike any other technique.
Unlike snaking, which often creates a hole through the blockage, hydro jetting cleans the entire diameter of the pipe, ensuring a more comprehensive and long-lasting solution.
This method effectively removes stubborn blockages, debris, grease, and even tree roots, making it a superior choice for maintaining clean and clear plumbing systems.
Do you serve Chicago suburbs and outlying communities?
Yes. We serve homeowners across Chicago from our Carol Stream, Oak Brook, Franklin Park, Palos Heights, and Grayslake offices. If you are not sure whether we cover your address, give us a call and we will let you know right away.
How often should I schedule drain cleaning?
For most Chicago homes, a professional drain cleaning every 18 to 24 months is enough to keep main lines clear. Homes with mature trees near the sewer line, older clay or Orangeburg pipe, or a history of backups benefit from annual cleaning paired with a camera inspection.
What are the early signs my drain or sewer line needs professional attention?
Slow drains across multiple fixtures, frequent toilet or sink clogs, gurgling sounds when one fixture is used and another drains, recurring backups, foul smells coming from drains or floor drains, and unexplained lush spots or puddles in the yard are the most common signs. Any of those deserve a camera scope before they turn into an emergency.
Why do my drains clog again shortly after I clear them?
Surface-level clearing often leaves buildup behind. Professional cleaning removes deeper obstructions.
Should I schedule drain cleaning if I don't have trouble with my drains?
Yes — drain cleaning is an excellent preventative maintenance procedure. Even well-kept drains will eventually have debris build up and impede water flow.
What should I do if I have a severe clog?
Avoid using the affected plumbing. Then, call a professional plumber for same-day expert assistance.
Is hydro jetting safe for all types of pipes?
It’s generally safe for newer, robust pipes, but high pressure can harm fragile or worn pipes. It’s best to have a plumber assess your pipes before hydro jetting.
How can I avoid drain and sewer problems?
Don’t put inorganic material through your drains — including ‘flushable’ wipes. Avoid starches, foods that expand, and liquid fats that can congeal in pipes.
How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?
We recommend annual professional cleaning to prevent clogs and maintain system health. Usage levels may require more frequent service.
Do I need a new sewer line?
Often, scheduling an inspection is the best way to determine this. While some old plumbing materials wear down quickly, many sewers can go decades without trouble.
How often should I schedule hydro jetting services?
Every 18 to 24 months for residential properties. Commercial or high-usage properties may need it more frequently.
