From the first call to the completion of the job, Baethke Plumbing was prompt, sincere and friendly. They arrived on time, diagnosed the issue quickly and performed a reliable sewage extractor replacement with professional care. The plumber was trustworthy and explained everything clearly, making me feel confident calling them for any emergency plumber needs in the future.

We’re glad everything from the initial call through the sewage extractor replacement went smoothly, with on-time arrival, a quick diagnosis, and clear communication so you felt comfortable throughout.

Baethke Plumbing did a great job replacing my leaking hot water heater. They showed up promptly and on time. The technicians were friendly and knowledgeable. They were able to get a new hot water heater delivered quickly enough to have it installed in the same trip as the initial inspection. The left the work site neat and clean. Will continue to use their services.
Response from the owner:Thanks, Keith, for taking the time to share this. We’re glad we could arrive as scheduled, walk you through the options, and replace your leaking water heater with a quick delivery and same-visit installation. It means a lot that you noticed the clean workspace and the courteous, informed service, and we look forward to helping again.

Our association has been using them for 30 years. We have a very complex pump sewer ejection pump. Since we started using them. We have not had any floods. Thank God. They do regular maintenance on the system and they tell us when something needs to be repaired or fixed. Right now we have a very tricky repair that's required and they've given us an extremely fair price. They do common sense plumbing repairs for a reasonable price. You can trust them. They are honest and I certainly am happy to have them as my plumbing contractors.
Response from the owner:Tom, we truly appreciate your long-time trust in Baethke Plumbing and we’re glad our regular maintenance and straightforward guidance have helped keep your complex pump system running without flooding issues. It means a lot that you find our pricing fair and our recommendations practical and honest, especially as we work through this tricky repair.

Great, friendly, professional technicians, Karry and Mike, came out immediately on a Saturday to work on a complicated plumbing problem with sewer flushing issues that required jetting, rodding and very hard manual labor to remove masses of tree roots. Karry had come the previous week to begin the work, and gave very precise, helpful information as he proposed options for solving a long standing problem. He was professional, responsive and very sensitive to financial concerns. Karry and Mike worked very hard and well together for several hours in a cramped crawl space, flood control well and throughout the basement spaces. We loved working with them and appreciated there efficient, hard work. They even complimented me on my much less than impressive piano background music. I highly recommend them and Baethke Plumbing. I first used Baethke Plumbing back in 1988, and have maintained the working relationship due to the quality of the work. Alan Burrall Edgebrook Resident
Response from the owner:Thank you, Alan, for your kind review! I'm glad to hear that you found our technician to be great, friendly, and professional. We look forward to serving you again in the future!

Mitch and Mike were great! They were on time, professional and cleaned up afterwards. They replaced 20year old tankless hot water heater with a newer unit. I’d highly recommend them for plumbing work. Ask Mike about ceiling hangers.
Response from the owner:Thanks, Charles, for taking the time to share this. We’re glad Mitch and Mike arrived when expected, handled the tankless water heater replacement smoothly, and left everything tidy afterward. We really appreciate the recommendation and we’ll be sure to pass along your note to Mike.

We had our annual maintenance inspection and Josh did a great job! He was very thorough and made sure to explain his findings/reccomendations. After bad experiences with other plumbing companies, he helped us feel at ease and taken care of until our next annual visit. Thanks Josh!
