Isaac was awesome. He was at our house exactly when he said he would arrive, and completed a high end repair on a Kohler DTV system like a pro. I’d highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Mike, thank you for the kind words and for recommending Baethke Plumbing. We’re glad Isaac arrived right on time and handled your Kohler DTV repair with the level of care and professionalism you expected.

Isaak and Michael (I believe) repaired our toilet related leak and did an excellent job. They were timely, professional and very clean.
Response from the owner:Thanks, Greg. We’re glad Isaak and Michael were able to get your toilet leak fixed quickly, show up on time, and keep everything neat and tidy while they worked. We appreciate you choosing Baethke Plumbing and sharing your experience.

I had a warranty issue with my kitchen faucet that ended up requiring multiple trips. The issue was all with the manufacturer and Baethke Plumbing was really helpful resolving it all. Their office coordinated with the manufacturer and their scheduling and communication with me was excellent. Most of all, Kerry, the technician who performed the work was incredible. There was troubleshooting, multiple replacement installs and his attention to detail with all of it was just exceptional. I highly recommend Baethke (and Kerry) for any plumbing work you need in your home.
Response from the owner:Spike, thank you for taking the time to share this. We’re glad our office could coordinate with the manufacturer and keep scheduling and communication clear throughout the warranty process, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Kerry for his careful troubleshooting and workmanship. We appreciate the recommendation and are here anytime you need help with plumbing at home.
Isaac and Mike replaced our old dual 50 gallon water heaters with a single Bradford-White 75 gallon unit with an expansion tank in a very old industrial building. Very happy with their work and solving issues on the fly while fixing things from previous poor workmanship. Highly recommended for difficult projects. Update August 19, 2026 Chazz and James came out to help us retrieve a lost antique earing my wife accidentally dropped down the shower drain. They retrieved it successfully with little difficulty and put everything back together like new. Thanks guys! My wife is beyond happy.
Response from the owner:Paul, thank you for taking the time to share this. We’re glad Isaac and Mike were able to get your new Bradford-White 75 gallon unit and expansion tank installed smoothly and handle the unexpected issues in your older industrial building. We also appreciate your recommendation for complex jobs.

Mitch and Mike replaced my tank water heater with a new tankless unit. They were prompt, efficient and their work was high quality. They did a great job carefully removing the tank which was not completely straightforward and importantly, cleaned up the workspace extremely well.
Response from the owner:Thanks, Oliver, for taking the time to share this. We’re glad Mitch and Mike could get your new tankless unit installed promptly and handle the tricky removal with care, and we appreciate you noticing the quality of the work and the clean workspace afterward.

We have used Baethke Plumbing for the first time now and it was great. Karry was so friendly and sincere, which makes dealing with plumbing issues much less stressful. He showed up exactly when they say he would, which I really appreciate. I love the friendly customer service and the fact that they sent a picture of the person who will show up at your door. I recommend Baethke Plumbing!
Response from the owner:Thank you for choosing Baethke Plumbing and for taking the time to share this, C. We’re glad Karry made the experience easier with friendly service, arrived right on schedule, and that the technician photo helped you feel comfortable about who was coming to your home.

I honestly couldn't be happier with my experience with Baethke Plumbing. From the moment I called, the team was prompt and remarkably friendly. They handled everything with such sincerity and reliability, showing up exactly when they said they would. It is rare to find a plumber that combines professional skill with such genuine customer care. I felt completely at ease knowing my issue was in good hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trusted service provider in the area. Five stars all around for their professionalism, quality of work, honesty, speed, and overall value.
Response from the owner:Karen, thank you for taking the time to share this. We’re glad our team was quick to respond, arrived when promised, and made you feel comfortable throughout the repair while delivering quality work at a fair value. We truly appreciate the recommendation and the trust you placed in Baethke Plumbing.
I highly recommend Baethke Plumbing and, in particular, Karry Iatropoulos for outstanding service during our recent plumbing emergencies. Karry was responsive, professional, and thorough, taking the time to clearly explain the situation, the available options, and the work being performed. The quality of his workmanship was excellent, and his attention to detail gave us confidence that the repairs were handled properly. I have been extremely satisfied with Baethke Plumbing’s service and would not hesitate to call them again or recommend them to others.
Response from the owner:Michael, thank you for recommending Baethke Plumbing and for recognizing Karry’s quick response, professionalism, and careful explanations during your plumbing emergencies. We’re glad the workmanship and attention to detail left you feeling confident in the repairs, and we appreciate you trusting us again in the future.
