Billy was incredibly prompt and friendly. He called before he arrived to give an accurate ETA and explained the potential causes of the issue I was experiencing with my shower water temperature, as well as providing different options to address them in a way that would be as low cost as possible to me. Overall great customer service - will definitely be using Baethke again!
Response from the owner:Mitchell, thank you for the 5-star review. We’re glad Billy was prompt, kept you updated with an accurate ETA, and took the time to explain what could be causing the shower temperature issue while offering cost-conscious options. We appreciate your trust and look forward to helping you again.

I had a 3 day project with Baethke Plumbing starting on Friday, 4/17/26 through Monday, 4/20/26. I had a new in home flood back water valve system installed. On Tuesday, 4/14/26 I had 5" of water in my basement from a backup from the Chicago city sewer system. A BIG SHOUT OUT TO ISSAC & MIKE who did a phenomenal job on the installation!! They were very professional & were focused on providing 100% customer satisfaction. On Saturday, 4/18/26 John Baethke, President & CEO of Baethke Plumbing was on-site all day working hand-in-hand with Issac & Mike. This was an amazing experience for Greg Dytko (me) that John would support the Dytko family to recover from the flood. I now see how Issac & Mike get their 100% customer satisfaction skills from. Baethke Plumbing is FAMYLY!! I would also like to give a High-5!! to Cathi. She was amazing in scheduling all the work quickly & efficiently. She is very organized, professional and customer focused.
Response from the owner:Greg, our entire team appreciates your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure being able to personally help my team on your home project. I'm glad your home is once again protected from water backup.

I called Baethke Plumbing when my water was backing up and needed a quick emergency plumber. Matt and Mike arrived within an hour, were incredibly personable, nice, and explained the repair in plain language. The whole experience was fast... they knew what they were doing and were able to come up with the best solution that solved my problem. They even cleaned up after they were done working. Their timeliness and friendly attitude were the best parts. I would highly recommend Baethke Plumbing! Thank you so much! Very professional!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share this—it truly means a lot to us. We know how stressful a backup can be, especially when it turns into an emergency, so we’re really glad Matt and Mike were able to respond quickly and take care of things for you. Providing clear explanations, respectful service, and leaving your home as clean as we found it are all things we take seriously, so it’s great to hear that came through in your experience. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to both of them—they’ll appreciate it. Thanks again for trusting Baethke Plumbing, and for the recommendation. We’re always here whenever you need a reliable plumber!

I was nervous at first when my basement sink had backed up, but the Baethke Plumbing team was prompt and sincere. The plumber Jack contacted me with an estimated arrival time, arrived a few minutes early, was friendly, and explained everything clearly. Their reliable service and timely repair gave me peace of mind, and I felt taken care of from start to finish. I would recommend and I thank my friends from the Logan Square community page for the referral.
Response from the owner:Darla, thank you so much for this—it really means a lot to us. Basement backups can be nerve-wracking, so I’m really glad Jack was able to keep things calm, show up early, and walk you through everything in a way that made you feel comfortable. And a big thank you to the Logan Square community for sending you our way—that kind of trust from neighbors means everything to a local company like ours. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share this, Darla. If you ever need anything down the road, we’re always here for you.
