    Primary Bathroom Toilet and Mess
    Faye D.

    This review has been a long time coming. We used Plotke a few times and were happy with their service. In February 2024, we had a sewage backup in the downstairs sink that spilled over onto the floor and flooded the hall. Plotke sent us a plumber who must not have been very experienced. He didn't bring a camera and stated that he would need two people to use one. He snaked out the line from the backyard to the street, but that did not fully resolve the issue. He pulled one of the upstairs toilets to snake the line down to the first floor. Rather than the snake going down the line, it went horizontally into the primary bathroom, breaking the toilet, nicking the walls, marble flooring, cabinet and bathroom door. In addition, it made a mess of sewage on the floor, walls and door. Another Plotke plumber came by to help. They used a camera (finally). I asked them about fixing and cleaning the mess in the bathroom. They gave me some excuse about not cleaning even though Plotke made the mess. They certainly saw the mess they made. The only thing they did was replace the broken toilet. I think they forgot to seal around it, too. Well, we were in the thick of it because we still had a problem since water was backing up in the upstairs shower. We called a different plumbing company, T.M. Bennett. He brought a camera; was able to use it by himself. He was knowledgeable, found the problem, and resolved the issue. Of course, we had to replace the downstairs flooring, vanity and some of the walls after the backup and that took a long time. See photos showing some of the damage to primary bathroom walls, door, toilet, cabinet and mess caused by Plotke. By the way, Plotke never refunded any of the money we paid them.

    Outdoor water shut off that plumber left during rain storm.

    They answered their phone and sent someone on 1/30/24 out to fix at the time provided. The job required a replacement of the water valve connected to toilet. That was done to satisfaction though I was surprised of the condition he left it in. The bathroom was clean before but he left black streaks of grease and gray/black marks on toilet tank, toilet cover, seat and wall. Not sure why the toilet got all dirty since the valve was on the wall. Two days later I noticed he left the meter box near sidewalk with cover open and a water device connected to meter. We called company and the woman said she would have Matthew come by and correct. Well it's 2/3/24 and no one has come to put the outside meter gage and box cover back so we did it. Hopefully we got it right. Don't use this company the quality and work reliability is not good. Also discovered that our hot water circulation was not working on our kitchen sink. I found that the circulation pump on the hot water heater had been unplugged from the outlet. Only possible explanation is the plumber unplugged it and forgot to plug it back in.

    Completely unethical attempt at collecting funds for no work.

    I had used Plotke for years up until company was sold to current owners (last time I used them was probably 6ish years ago). Back when I was using company under Claire's ownership/leadership, Plotke was not cheap, BUT they were reputable and did excellent work! A few months ago I believed I had a plumbing issue (6/24) n called Plotke. An online form requesting a service appt must first be filled out. Next came a series of texts between myself n a woman named Perla at Plotke. I described in detail the previous work that had been done in this area of my condo n why I thought there might now be an issue, an in-wall leak, specifically, thus warranting a request for their services. An employee named Jason came out the following day . Jason spent a solid 5 minutes explaining back to me what I had explained to Perla...5 minutes upstairs away from actual area with issue. We went downstairs to bath area where Jason reiterated, for another 5 min, what he had said upstairs but this time adding I would need to call in a leak expert b4 Plotke could/would determine anything. Back upstairs for Jason to exit ... he said he "didn't want to" charge me anything n was leaving the ticket open until I got a leak specialist to look into ...again, regurgitating everything I said to Perla. . A few weeks later, guess what I got WITH all above description of interaction! A bill for $220! I called Perla, refused to pay $220 n agreed to a reasonable site visit charge of $75. I do not recommend this company!

    Burtech Plumbing came out right before Thanksgiving for what we thought was a small leak. They were…read moreefficient and worked quickly. While the leak itself wasn't a big issue, once the ceiling was opened we discovered that all of our copper pipes were badly corroded. They recommended a full repipe of our home. We have a 4,000 square foot house, so this was a huge project. I got multiple quotes, and Burtech landed right in the middle price-wise. What really stood out to me was how willing they were to work with my specific requests. I had major stipulations, especially that they complete the repipe without visually accessing our kitchen, and they made it happen. They worked with our timeline, and Jose was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. I'll admit I was a bit needy with questions, but he was always patient, understanding, and responsive. The estimate they gave us was exactly what we paid in the end--no surprise costs at all. The repipe itself was major (60+ holes throughout the house), but they worked so efficiently that it never felt overly intrusive. They were very clean, vacuumed and cleaned up every day, and truly respected our home. We have two young kids who nap, and they even worked around nap schedules so they weren't in certain rooms during that time. Overall, I'm extremely impressed with Burtech Plumbing. I've already recommended them and will continue to do so without hesitation.

    Signed up with Burtech in 2024 for a tankless water heater maintenance program that included annual…read moreflushes for $79 "for the LIFE of the unit." That pricing was a major selling point and one of the reasons I chose them over other companies at the time. When I recently called to schedule my annual service, I was told the program had been discontinued and I would need to enroll in a new VIP plan at a significantly higher cost ($200+). The new pricing represents a substantial increase from what was originally promised. They stated they attempted to notify customers of the change, but I never agreed to any modification of the original terms. When I asked for documentation showing that the agreement allowed for this change, none was provided. After multiple exchanges, they did not budge and continued to repeat the same generic explanation rather than addressing the core issue of honoring the original agreement. I mean if they are going to promise the LIFE of the unit and then change the policy they should at a minimum give people under the previous plan at least 3-5 years before transitioning just out of fairness, not just cut them off the next year after. It's obviously fine to charge the new price to new customers. Anyway, at no point was there any effort to resolve the situation or offer a reasonable accommodation. I've been around a long time and dealt with many businesses, I've never seen anything like this. Given their otherwise strong reputation and BBB rating, this was particularly disappointing. As a long-term retired military customer who values reliability and transparency when choosing companies to service my home, this experience fell very short. Customers should be aware that long-term pricing commitments will not be honored or grandfathered and replaced with significantly higher-cost programs based on daily business decisions.

    We were replacing a broken toilet ourselves, but removed the old one to find that the setting in…read morethe floor was completely borked. There was no actual flange at all, just a repair flange and it was set below the level of the flooring and filled in around with a mess of some kind of caulk or filler to try and raise the level up. Making this right was way out of our league, so we called MasterCraft to help us out. They confirmed our suspicions that this was messed up six ways from Sunday and talked through the process of cleaning out the filler, chipping away the concrete, and refilling it with a clean setting of concrete so they could set a proper flange 1/4" above the flooring and for a reasonable price considering how terrible the setup was. They immediately set up an appointment to return the next day. While they were there for the estimate, they offered a free inspection of the plumbing in the rest of the house, which I took to be a fishing expedition for more "problems" they could "fix" for more money, but such was not the case. They found one minor issue, said it could probably wait a few years, and even fixed another minor issue they found for free, then said everything else looked good. Startling honesty and helpfulness! From my call for help, they had folks out to check things out in about two hours, and the work was completed less than 24 hours after that. For the level of work done, an incredible turn time, IMO. All told, we had 5 different techs in our house between inspection and repair, and every single one was friendly, competent, and respectful of our home. While I'm not eager to *need* their services, if I do, MasterCraft Plumbing has definitely earned repeat customers here!

    Subject: Unresolved property damage and failure to honor warranty…read more I am writing this review to share my experience with Mastercraft Plumbers Inc. regarding a project that resulted in irreparable damage to my bathtub. While the company performed the initial task of removing a corroded screw, their technician's negligence resulted in significant, irreparable damage to the bathtub. Despite a written warranty guaranteeing workmanship, the company refused to restore the tub to its original condition, instead proposing an inadequate "refinishing" remedy that did not meet professional standards. After months of attempting to reach a professional resolution, I was forced to pursue this matter in Small Claims Court. On June 8, 2026, the Superior Court of California ruled in my favor, confirming that the company failed to meet its obligations and awarding a judgment for the full cost of the necessary replacement. I am sharing this factual account to assist other consumers in their due diligence. I have attached the Court's Minute Order and photographs of the damage for transparency. I am posting this as an addendum to address the owner's response. I wish to clarify that the facts of this matter were adjudicated in the Superior Court of California (Case #25SC04822C). On June 8, 2026, the Court ruled in my favor and awarded a judgment for the costs of repair, rejecting the defendant's claims. My review is based on these documented findings, and I stand by the facts presented. I have attached the Court's Minute Order for transparency to allow future consumers to make informed decisions based on the official record.

All American responded quickly to our call, and Kevin quickly located and capped the leak to prevent further damage. He thoroughly explained our options, from repairing the immediate leak to taking preventive measures to avoid future in-slab leaks. After discussing the pros and cons, we decided to move forward with a downstairs re-pipe to replace any pipes that were in the slab, along with replacing our pressure regulator and several older valves. This was a major project involving rerouting plumbing through the ceilings and walls, but Kevin guided us through every step of the process. He was knowledgeable, patient, professional, and always made sure we understood the work being done. It is rare to immediately trust a service technician you have just met, but we had complete confidence in Kevin and his recommendations throughout the project. After the plumbing work was completed, they also provided excellent referrals for stucco (thank you Carlos) and drywall repair (thank you Hugo at California Quality Drywall) to help restore our home as quickly as possible.
