They responded within the hour to my phone call. The plumber was out at the house a few hours later with his assistant. They were able to fix the drain quickly and cleaned up the area in which they worked. I would definitely go to them the next time I have a plumbing problem.
Description of Work: Drain with garbage disposal stopped up. They emptied the drain, cleared up the problem.

I called after hours and they were able to send out two gentlemen in less then an hour to complete the job. The two plumbers they sent out were able to complete the job with in 20 minutes. They were very prompt, nice, and the price was right.

No complaints at all. The service man arrived promptly, was courteous, and cleaned out the roots quickly. The price charged was less than what we have paid before to some other companies.
Description of Work: Cleaned out main sewer line blocked by roots. The blockage was 15 feet from the clean-out access port.

While I had purchased separately the garbage disposal and the faucet, Plotke Plumbing did the installation. Customer service was excellent. When I was hoping to have the work done sooner than their next available appointment, they did refer me to another plumbing service company. When that company also did not have an earlier appointment, I returned to Plotke and scheduled my appointment with them. They were thorough in following up, providing times for when the plumber would arrive and so forth. While the plumber had to return twice to deal with a small resulting under sink leak due to the new installation, there was no charge, no issue at all. They were able to return the day or the next day following my call. I would certainly use this company again. I have heard that they are on the high side price-wise, but I would rather work with a company that is professional and follows up than with a cheaper alternate that might not be as accommodating and customer-service oriented.

It went well. After reading a previous report about the company, and how they charge for an additional man to help carry the heavy equipment up or down steps, I persuaded the phone operator to forgo the extra man and that I would be able to help, and they agreed. when the technician arrived, he said that they accepted my offer only because they were busy and didn't have the extra manpower. Regardless, I saved myself 84 dollars by helping him move the machine myself (beware, it is heavy and difficult to carry). In any event, the job went smoothly. He cleaned out my line, I helped him move the machine back up my steps and we parted ways.
Description of Work: They cleaned out my backed-up sewer line.

Our friends have used Plotke Plumbing and love them, but in our case, the plumber they sent out was a little sketchy. He was sweet and got the work done but a little odd. He was late one day and we did have to call the company. We also felt the price for what they did and the time they spent on it seemed a little high. We are going to give them another chance.
Description of Work: They installed new plumbing for our washer and dryer, which included running 15 feet of pipe to the outside of the house and running 15 feet of pipe to the roof. They also replaced 10 feet of pipe with cooper and ran it out to a drain and they fixed a minor leak. This job lasted for two days, maybe two to three hours each day.

The work was fine. Between extra man and machine charges and sludge I had to clean up, I'd say use them with a grain of salt. Really clarify what you expect to pay and clean up is included.
Description of Work: Plotke plumbers came to assess my problem, a backed up sewer drain. They cleaned roots, etc out of it. Said sewer drain to street using some heavy machine. They left black watery sludge in my container under the drip site, that I had to dump out. Yuck! Prior to commencing work, the quoted hourly rate of $84/hr was doubled. The plumbers said the heavy machine required a second man and that was the explanation for the charge. Also $30 was charged for the 300 lb machine they brought into my basement (no stairs, backyard entry). None of this was explained on the phone before they arrived. Work was done well, fast and affordable. I was surprised at the charge surprises and mess left behind.

I had made an agreement with them because I was senior they gave me a 10% discount.
Description of Work: They fixed a running toilet. My complaint is that I feel that I was overcharged, $84 to fix a running toilet it is not within the custom of the trade I am used to. I might add they charged me $132 for kohler ballcock, I had called kohler and asked them to send me the ballcock they said it was $40.25. They sent it to me, this guy didn't use it he said it was the wrong one.

I thought that they did a really professional job. They showed up right away the next day after I called. This ended up turning out really great for me because I had family coming into town.
Description of Work: They upgraded some of the old parts in my two toilets and replaced a shut off valve for one of the toilets. They also changed the filter that feeds to the water line for the filtration system in my refrigerator.

They did a good job. They came out right away after we asked for an appointment. They were willing to look at another small job while they were here (an outside faucet that was leaking). He was very efficient and got the job done quickly.

They were terrific. Came within the day and clarified the problem and what needed to done. Aki ran an exhaust line in an entirely different direction and it went smoothly. My dryer is running much more efficiently now. The final cost was a fraction of another plumbing service.
Description of Work: I had a dryer vent which was installed improperly and was barely functioning. The back up moisture in my house made me realize that I needed to replace or repair. I first called the another plumbing service and they gave me an initial estimate which was out of the ball park: 1300 plus change. While I knew that crawl space under my house makes things difficult, I didn't think it should have been that difficult. That's when I called Plotke.

I was very happy with the work performed and the price charged. A different plumber provided an estimate of $400 for the same work. Plotke Plumbing did the work and sent us a detailed bill including the hourly rate, number of hours worked, and the exact price of the materials used. The prices were exact, not ballpark estimates, not rounded up, and not arbitrarily increased because I live in a nice neighborhood. The plumber was prompt, professional, and experienced. I have used 4 different plumbers for various jobs this year and Plotke was by far the best experience.

I had originally scheduled the job for the same day as my countertop installation, but had to shift it when that job ran later than expected. Mario at Plotke was very accommodating and constantly checked to make sure that time frames were convenient and ready to go. Workmanship on the project was excellent as well. Plumber offered some good, unsolicited advice on possible future fixtures, too. Overall, Plotke Plumbing performed the project excellently.

I called and they promised to come over the next day. They called during the window of time promised and said they were on the way. The plumber arrived quickly and easily fixed the problems.
Description of Work: The water in the water heater didn't stay hot very long. I searched the Internet and thought it might be the dip tube. I suggested it to Plotke and they agreed. Also, a sprinkler valve was spraying water in my backyard irrigation system. They came out and fixed both problems.

Not well. I wanted them to see what was leaking before they ordered a part. When the plumber came to put in the hose and then said it's not the hose, I already knew it was not the hose. I paid to have the hose put in. There was a lot of calling back and forth. It took a long time for the ordered sprayer hose to come from Kohler, which I ordered myself by phone from Chicago. When it came there was more calling back and forth and then a different plumber came and screwed it on, which I should have done myself. That was $84.
Description of Work: I called to ask for the repair of a leak in the spray head of our kitchen sink. On the phone they said they would order a new hose. I said it was not leaking under the sink, but where it joined the spray head. They ordered the hose without coming out to look. They installed the hose when it arrived. It was not the hose. They called and left me a message that I could call Kohler and get a free replacement sprayer. I did. It came in one and half weeks. I called them several times about attaching it. They came and attached it in two minutes.
