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!

We’re glad Josh was thorough during your annual maintenance inspection and clearly walked you through his findings and recommendations so you felt comfortable. We appreciate you choosing Baethke Plumbing and look forward to helping again at your next annual visit.

Very competent
Response from the owner:Thank you James. I'm glad Josh was able to get you all squared away, even if it requires customization.
Really great experience with Matt replacing our sump pump and then Mitch doing a full inspection. Both were friendly, professional, kept us informed, and walked us through all of the steps and available options. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Kelsea, I’m very happy that both Mitch and Matt met your expectations. Thank you for your trust. We’ll continue meet and even exceed your expectations going forward.

We found Baethke a few years back when the city broke our sewer pipe out at the street doing construction & our old plumber didn't have a sewer cam that the city needed to prove the break was on their end. They were so great that we switched to them for all our plumbing needs. They have been great since and do good work that I can trust. We have a hundred year old brick 2 flat with 3 apartments that need plumbing fixes fairly regularly, and Baethky always works around my schedule and gets things done well in a timely fashion. So much more reliable than plumbers we used in the past. Even had them fix several problems left by the old plumbers. Today they fixed the hot water heater supply that didn't have a shut off and had an expansion tank that needed support (they added a bracket and re piped the whole supply), definitely worth having them do an inspection to check everything.
Response from the owner:Renata, thank you for sticking with Baethke Plumbing over the years and for trusting us with your older multi unit building. We’re glad we could help document the sewer break for the city and that our team has been able to coordinate with your schedule, correct past issues, and make improvements like the water heater shutoff, expansion tank support, and repiping. We appreciate the recommendation to get an inspection and we’re always here when the next fix comes up.
