Report
Being new to the area and lacking recommendations for a good plumber, I reached out to a national franchise plumbing operation who came out to give me an estimate. The standard of service they provided was so egregiously bad that I decided I'd rather forego having a functional bathtub instead of giving them my business. After much Google sleuthing, South Side seemed my safest bet. From calling to set up the appointment to the actual day of service, every bit of interaction was professional and downright enjoyable. Mike showed up on time and he was pleasant to have in my home, which I really value since I work from home.
He diagnosed the problem right away and fixed it up without a hitch. The whole operation was quicker and more affordable than I had expected. I'm seriously pleased with all of it and will happily reach out to South Side again the next time something in my fixer-upper goes soupy.

This was our first time needing a plumber in our new home, and we had a wonderful experience. Both Bill and Mikey were the best! Bill was awesome over the phone walking me through some of the inner-workings of the copper piping in our home ahead of needing service, and Mikey was super flexible the day we needed service. He was quick, efficient, and kind while also taking the time to teach us a few things about our pipes. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. So happy to have them in the neighborhood!

South side plumbing did a first class job on installing my new Trane furnace. A great price and very quick turnaround with great people far exceeded my expectations. The installation crew were very professional, thorough and efficient. I look forward to using them again. Service: Installation

Ryan was very quick to call back and try to troubleshoot remotely, even though it was 10PM on a Saturday! He was able to come the next day and was very great with letting us know when he was on his way and very good at explaining what the issue was and how the fix would work. Highly recommend! Service: Heating system repair

South Side Plumbing was absolutely AMAZING! My family and I were away for the weekend. When we came home I noticed our house was cold. I called South Side Plumbing answering service. Within minutes Ryan returned my call. He walked my husband through what could be the problem. When the problem was not resolved over the phone, Ryan immediately scheduled us for service Monday morning. It was determined we need a new furnace.
With the days and night hitting the low 20's with windchills in the teens, John from South Side Plumbing did everything in his power to secure a furnace for my house. The techs did an amazing job of installing, explaining and cleaning up. They arrived on time and stayed until the house heated up. They were extremely friendly and answered any question I had. I would strongly recommend South Side Plumbing for heating, cooling, and plumbing services.
