Mike "Mikey" Glikis grew up in Evergreen Park (SE Quad, wut wut!) So he knew the value of a dollar from a young age. Out of high school, he started apprenticing for plumbers but was soon disappointed to see how much these "big guys" would charge his working-class neighbors after he finished the job.

Soon Mike became the go-to guy for the big firms to send out on the hardest of jobs, and the bill he would have to serve was mind-boggling.

Mike Glikis learned a lot from his Dad, Pete who owned a grocery store on 83rd and Commercial. Pete never let anyone in the neighborhood go hungry even if they couldn't afford groceries. Mike knew that as a plumber, he could also do the job without ripping off the neighborhood. So with that, he bought his first truck and started his own company Drain Drama. His goal is to charge an honest rate for a well-done job.

So a fast forward few years and dozens of five-star reviews later, Drain Drama has become the fastest-growing plumbing company on the South Side. If there is one small business you should be supporting, it's this one.
