Editorial Review
Our Take on Zuniga's Plumbing Inc.
A South Side shop with a real sewer capability behind the everyday repair work, which is not a common combination at this size. The 4.8 from 135 Google reviews, read on September 4, 2026, backs up the day-to-day service, and the published city and state licence numbers are a good sign of transparency. Just pin down weekend availability and permit responsibility on the phone, because the published hours and the site's emergency language do not quite line up.

- Hezekiah Israel5.0When I have called Mr Walter and shared with him with good reason why I believe he’s responsible for something, when he acknowledges it, he comes out to complete his work, even in the case when he’s already been paid, so I recommend him to others and would use him again!!!August 2026Google

- Will Schultz5.0We asked Walter for a consultation about recurrent flooding problems in our housing complex.

About Zuniga's Plumbing Inc.
Sewer work is where a Chicago plumbing company earns its reputation, and zunigas plumbing inc puts that squarely at the front of its service list. Underground sewer repair, water main repair, new sewer and water line installation, full line replacement, power rodding, jetting and video camera inspection all appear on the website, alongside the indoor work most households call about. That combination matters here. A clay lateral under a hundred year old bungalow in Englewood or Back of the Yards does not usually fail politely, and the difference between a shop that can only rod and a shop that can excavate, camera the line and pull a permit is the difference between a temporary fix and a finished job.
The smaller side of the business covers faucet and toilet repair or replacement, drain cleaning, washing machine and dishwasher installation, sump and ejector pumps, frozen pipe repair, gas leak detection and repair, water pressure boosting, and bathroom and kitchen remodeling. Grease trap cleaning is listed as a distinct service with a described method, measuring the grease, pumping off the water and then clearing the trap, which reads like something the crew does often rather than a line added to fill out a page. Commercial kitchens on the South and Southwest Sides need that on a schedule, and a plumber who also jets the line out to the main is a useful single call.
One listed item deserves attention from anyone dealing with the city: violation correcting. If an inspector has written up a building, or a sale has stalled on a plumbing item, that is specialised work requiring someone comfortable with Chicago's plumbing code and its inspection process. The company publishes a City of Chicago licence number, 058170465, and a state licence, 055031744, on its own site. Chicago is strict about who may perform plumbing work and about permits for sewer and water service, so confirming those numbers against city records before hiring is a reasonable step, and any honest contractor will expect you to.
On reputation, the Google Business Profile showed 4.8 from 135 reviews when read on September 4, 2026. That is a meaningful sample rather than a handful of friendly comments, and a 4.8 across that many entries generally points to consistent workmanship with the occasional job that went sideways. The website claims more than fifty years serving the Chicago area, describes the company as certified and insured, and mentions friendly emergency service and a satisfaction guarantee. Those are the company's own words, not verified here, so ask what the guarantee actually covers, in writing, before work starts.
Fit is straightforward. Homeowners in the bungalow belt with recurring backups, tree roots in the lateral, or a basement that floods when the sewer surcharges are the core audience, along with landlords and small commercial buildings. Overhead sewer conversion and catch basin work both speak to that older housing stock and to the flooding that follows a heavy summer storm on a combined sewer system. Where zunigas plumbing inc may not suit you is the 2 AM burst. Published hours are Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, with Saturday and Sunday closed, so despite the emergency language on the site, treat weekend availability as something to confirm by phone rather than assume.
Before you book, get specific. For any sewer job, ask whether a camera inspection comes first and whether you receive the footage. Ask who pulls the permit and who handles the city inspection, particularly on water service or sewer replacement. Ask how restoration is handled if the parkway, sidewalk or basement floor has to be opened, since that cost often surprises people more than the pipe work. For rodding, ask whether the price is flat or hourly and what happens if the blockage returns within a month. And ask for the quote itemised, so the excavation, materials, permit and restoration are visible separately.
Compared with the franchised operations advertising around the clock dispatch, a neighbourhood shop like this one tends to price lower and send the same faces back, at the cost of a call centre and a fixed after-hours rate. Compared with a one-truck rodder, it offers heavier equipment and the ability to finish the job underground. Which of those trade-offs suits you depends mostly on whether your problem can wait until morning.

Zuniga's Plumbing Inc. FAQs
What are Zuniga's Plumbing's hours?
Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, with Saturday and Sunday listed as closed on both its Google profile and its website. The site does mention friendly emergency service, so if you have a burst pipe or a backing-up sewer outside those hours it is worth calling (773) 619-2730 to ask what is possible, but weekend coverage is not something the published hours confirm.
Is zunigas plumbing inc licensed in Chicago?
The company publishes a City of Chicago licence number, 058170465, and a state licence number, 055031744, on its own website. Chicago regulates who may perform plumbing work and requires permits for sewer and water service jobs, so it is sensible to check those numbers against city records yourself before signing anything on a large job.
Do they do sewer line replacement and camera inspections?
Yes. The service list includes underground sewer repair, full sewer line replacement, video camera sewer inspection, power rodding and jetting, plus overhead sewers and catch basin repair and cleaning. On older South Side properties with clay laterals, ask whether a camera survey is run before any digging and whether you get to see the recording.
How good are the reviews?
The Google Business Profile showed a 4.8 rating from 135 reviews when read on September 4, 2026. That is a reasonably large sample for an independent plumbing shop, and a score at that level usually indicates consistent work with occasional exceptions. Reading the most recent reviews rather than the average is still the better guide.
Do they work on commercial buildings and restaurants?
Yes, the company describes itself as serving both residential and commercial buildings. Grease trap cleaning is listed as a specific service with a described process, and jetting plus camera inspection are also offered, which together cover most of what a commercial kitchen needs to stay ahead of a shutdown.
What should I ask for in a quote?
Ask for the excavation, materials, permit fees and surface restoration to be itemised separately. On sewer and water service work in Chicago, restoring the parkway, sidewalk or basement slab can be a significant share of the total, and knowing who pulls the permit and schedules the city inspection avoids arguments later. Also confirm whether rodding is priced flat or hourly.
Where are they based?
At 7253 S Green St in the Englewood area of Chicago, IL 60621. The website says the company serves all of Chicago, though travel time from that base means the South and Southwest Sides are the most natural catchment. Call (773) 619-2730 to check coverage for your address.
