Quick answer
Who are the top 3 plumbers in Chicago, IL?
Top 3 Local lists Kuhn Plumbing and Rocket Plumbing among the plumbers serving Chicago, Illinois. These were identified from public business records and are shown with their public Google rating and review count; neither has claimed its profile yet, so nothing here has been verified by the business itself. The #1 position for Chicago is unfilled. Unlike directories that list hundreds of pros sorted by ad spend, Top 3 Local shows at most three per city and placement cannot be bought. Customers in Chicago can contact any listed business directly — no contact forms, no referral fees.

Where this list comes from
How these were found.
The plumbers above were identified from public business records for Chicago and are shown with their public Google rating and review count. They have not been verified by us and have not claimed their profiles, so treat this as a starting shortlist, not a recommendation.
A business that claims its free profile can add its licence number, insurance carrier and years in business — details you can check yourself at the official IL source. Completeness is what moves a listing up; nothing here is for sale.
Before you get quotes
What drives plumbers pricing in Chicago.
Freeze reality: Winter lows average 16.1°F in the coldest month — pipe insulation, hose-bib and irrigation blowouts are seasonal work here, and burst-pipe calls cluster on the first hard freeze.
Before you sign: verify the license at the official IL source, collect three same-scope bids (how), and compare them side by side — free, no signup.

The math, in the open: plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters in the Chicago area earn $35.84–$59.70/hour (median $49.70) per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2025. A legitimate business bills 2–2.5× wages to cover payroll taxes, insurance, equipment, overhead and profit, which puts fair billed labor at about $72–$149/hour. Multiply by the typical labor-hours for your job and you get the range above.
This is an educational estimate, not a quote. Access, condition, season and materials move real prices. Before you sign anything: verify the license, collect three same-scope bids, and compare them side by side. Full guide: every plumbers job priced for Illinois.
