I've been using Plotke for the past 13 years. They've always done exceptional work at fair prices and I'm extremely grateful for their services. I have had emergencies and they've been there the same day. They've helped save me money by troubleshooting things over the phone, so i didn't have to replace items that were easily fixed. They're great. Highly recommended!

Found 3and quot; of water in my crawl space due to a leaking hot water heater. Called Plotke. The office staff was friendly and responsive. They sent a crew out within a couple of hours. The guys arrived promptly at the time promised, dried out the crawl space, took out the old water heater and installed a new one within about an hour. I was delighted all around.

I discovered a pinhole leak in the copper pipe in the attic (dripping into a closet). Plotke came out at 8:00 am in the morning and was finished by 9:00 am. They had to replace a junction of 3 pipes of 2 different sizes that also made two 90-degree bends. They got it all done very quickly and I am very happy with the service.

Response from PLOTKE PLUMBING
Work request was to pressure test gas line from capped line at house to firepit. Previous owner had said the line had a leak. Current owner wanted this confirmed. We pressurized gas line to fire pit and BBQ-line would not hold pressure. Plugged fire pit after the line. Reviewed options with customer for replacing the gas line and also referred a company which might have been able to locate the leak. We performed the work requested and billed $94.50- for labor and a galvinized cap. Not sure where the $200.00 amount came from. We appreciate all comments so that we can continue to improve our customer service.

I had Plotke out to my home twice, to repair hot water leaks under the slab....The hope was that the first repair (Sept 2012) would take care of the problem.... I observed the repair, and it look ok. Unfortunately, another leak made it self known... I postponed trying to fix the second leak until Feb of this year, but did called Plotke back, after a leak detection company found it. After more jack hammering, the technician located the hole in the pipe, and removed that section of pipe..He constructed a straight piece of copper with angled connectors, since it was not a straight line repair. It did not fit, and I was told he needed to use soft copper.. which he did not have on his truck, and had to leave to get it. After returning with the soft copper, he made the repair, but in spite of using the soft copper, the connection obviously went in at an angle on one end, and the two pipes were not fully seated....I took photos and sent them to Plotke, who dismissed my concerns. A friend with some plumbing experience was taken aback when he saw the job that was done....the nature of the repair deterred me from the thought of using Plotke for any future work on my home.
Description of Work: Leak detection (not by Plotke), and 2 leaks to repair in hot water line under the slab in my kitchen. Plotke came out on both occasions. Since the first job they did seemed ok, I called them back for the second repair. They jack hammered the slab, and replaced 2 small sections of hot water line. The approx 900.00 was spent on 2 visits by Plotke...The first visit in Sept 2012.

I called to have a new kitchen faucet installed. My kitchen faucet handle fell off so we couldn't use our kitchen sink. I called first thing Monday morning and they gave me a 2 hour window from 11 - 1 when they would be there. They were prompt and professional. Since I had already purchased a faucet from Home Depot, they installed it and charged $90 for the one hour service call. They checked my bathroom sink and reattached the popup rod which had come loose. They left all the faucet warranty items for me. I was happy to be operational again so soon, and my new faucet works great.

He is really good. He was real reasonable and we spent probably $185 the last time we used them. We don't feel like he is trying to rip us off and charge us for things we don't need. The prices are really reasonable and he comes out quickly. We trust what he is tells us and trust that he will get the job done right the first time.
Description of Work: We have used Plotke Plumbing when we have any plumbing problems for probably 12 years. The last time we used him was probably 2 or 3 years ago and fixed our kitchen sink because it was leaking and also to fix the garbage disposal.

The staff and technicians are prompt, courteous and efficient. We turned to Plotke after a neighbor and Angie's List recommended them. We abandoned service contracts with two big-name local plumbing companies who were more interested in selling us a water filtration system that we don't need than in fixing our problems. Plotke does what we ask them to do, and does it well.
Description of Work: Plotke has done several jobs for us over the last three months, including repair of a gas line leak to the fireplace, and repairs to kitchen faucet and bathroom toilet, as well as installing water hammer arresters for the washing machine. When they could not clear a toilet drain clog, they recommended Affordable Drain who came promptly and took care of the problem.

This is not the first time we used them and as usual they were wonderful. They have a really nice and helpful woman who answers the phone. If something is happening right then they will give you tips to help until they can get there. They show up on time and do a very thorough job. They are interested in getting a job done well.

Response from PLOTKE PLUMBING
WORK WAS PERFORMED MARCH 7, 2008 AND CUSTOMER WAS BILLED FOR $577.00. WATER LEAK HAD BEEN LOCATED BY ANOTHER COMPANY. WE JACKHAMMERED WHERE THEY MARKED-LEAK WAS NOT WHERE THEY MARKED-WE HAD TO CHASE THE LINE ACROSS CLOSET APPROXIMATELY 4' TO LOCATE LEAK UNDER WALL, HAD TO OPEN WALL ON OTHER SIDE TO REPAIR LEAK. TURNED ON SYSTEM, TESTED AND FOUND AN ADDITIONAL LEAK 1' AWAY WHICH REQUIRED MORE JACKHAMMERING. REPAIRED THIS LEAK. LEFT HOLE OPEN TO DRY OUT AND TO MAKE SURE NO ADDITIONAL LEAKS PRIOR TO CONCRETE PATCHING. AS WE ALWAYS STRIVE TO PROVIDE GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE, WE WOULD HAVE RESPONDED APPROPRIATELY HAD CUSTOMER CALLED TO LET US KNOW OF HER DISCONTENT INSTEAD OF READING ABOUT IT 3 MONTHS LATER.
