Why Windy City

A plumber you'd trust
to call your mom.

We built this company because the plumbing industry has a reputation problem: hidden fees, pressure sales, parts that mysteriously cost triple. That's not us.

“Called at 11pm with water coming through the ceiling. A tech was in my kitchen within an hour and had it stopped in 15 minutes. Fair price, no weekend surcharge.”

“Turned out the 'leak' was just a loose washer my husband could tighten himself. They showed us how, didn't charge a dime, and told us to call back if it came back. It didn't.”

“Replaced our water heater the same day we called. The tech walked me through the estimate line by line before starting. That's rare.”

“Our sewer line backed up on Thanksgiving. Windy City was the only shop that picked up. Saved dinner and probably my marriage.”

Our Story

Founded by a plumber who got tired of the other guys.

Windy City Rooter is a family-owned shop run out of Antioch, Illinois by Max Davenport. Max spent two decades in the trades watching national chains tack on fees, hide prices, and push replacement jobs customers didn't need.

So he started his own crew with a different rulebook: show up on time, quote the work honestly, stand behind it with a warranty, and charge the same whether it's Tuesday afternoon or the middle of a holiday weekend.

Today that crew serves homes and businesses across Chicagoland and southern Wisconsin — 24/7, 365 — with 12,000+ completed jobs and a 4.6-star average on Google.
