I purchased a whole home water filtration system and Jaime from Burtech came out to install it. Right away he started on the job and did a crazy clean install! Everything was super meticulous like making sure the pipes were exactly level, that everything was strait and not just slapped together. He also found a major kink in my main water line and fixed that and also replaced my super old pressure regulator. My water is now chlorine free and my water pressure is significantly improved! If you are looking for a professional plumber, I 100% recommend Jaime from Burtech. Very good pricing as well. read more

BEWARE. CHOOSE SOMEONE ELSE! Update to prematurely posted reviews (3 different, amiable service reps, each rated highly as a courtesy; posted BEFORE knowing each had failed the straightforward task of unclogging a sewer pipe). This review has been held back to ensure posted as unemotionally as possible. The 1st tech came out, "cleared" the clogged drain (sent drain-snake through the P-Trap under the vanity sink, after trying unsuccessfully to snake the tub drain, mentioning something about pipe circumference being too small for the tool he had with him). He did NOT attempt snaking the toilet pipe (source of the clog)- stating he preferred to avoid removing the toilet, whenever possible. Before leaving, he advised our bathtub was draining very slowly, suggested we check the drain for hair clogs and remove, if found. ??! In hindsight, we should have pointed out to tech #1 that the clog was likely at or BEFORE pipes under the toilet, versus in pipes AFTER the toilet (ie: under sink)-- though his comment re: our slow-draining tub and lack of evidence for the source of clog (no answer, when asked) should have been his clue that the job was incomplete, as he is the plumbing professional. A couple of days later BOTH bathroom toilets backed up / overflowed, both showers/tubs slow draining (initially only one toilet was clogged; other bathroom was usable). A 2nd tech came out and re-ran the snake- this time through the cleanout BEFORE bathroom drains. Once completed, he showed us the source of the clog-- a ball of tangled, matted hair (about the size of a small mouse). He mentioned having "a heck of a time winding in the snake" and stated that it "seemed to be caught on something". He was correct... the tool WAS caught on something: our main sewer pipe's backflow valve flapper- which was snapped off and dragged back through the pipe before wedging / stuck in place. Unbeknownst to us at the time, this was the cause of a NEW, far more serious pipe clog. Within a day or so, all toilets, showers and tubs backed up-- AGAIN. A 3rd tech came out, repeated the drain-snake process, removed the toilet in 1st bathroom /replaced the wax ring and stated everything was repaired. Not trusting this to be true, I asked him why I could see standing water just a few inches below the grate of the 2nd bathroom shower's drain. He stated this was normal / ok. (FYI- standing pipe-wayer is not normal, not ok...). After a 4th backup of both toilets just a few days after tech #3 declared the problem was resolved (in error), we reluctantly requested a 4th tech to resolve the issue. We received a callback from Burtech's owner, Bill, who mentioned something about our cost to his company, adding he would be bringing a camera to see why clogged (maybe should have done after 1st fail?). I refrained from pointing out the inconvenience his team had caused our family (now almost 2 weeks without working plumbing) least of which- hassle of cleaning up repeated toilet overflows. Owner Bill showed up with his camera (again-- 4th service call) seeming irritable / exasperated / put-out to be here. He sent his camera down the drain; soon after, showed crystal clear images of our broken flapper part- tightly wedged in the main sewer pipe, stating he'd "never seen anything like it before". (I couldn't make this stuff up... !) Going back to the comment made by tech #2... (...had a heck of time reeling in the drain-snake; seemed "stuck"), Bill's insistence that he's never seen this before rings hollow, imo. I've since asked MANY local plumbers to share their opinions re: Bill's comment about broken the flapper. Responses have been unanimous: "smells like bullsh@t". Owner Bill then quoted us a whopping $2700.00 to repair (their error) which would entail cutting / removing slabs of co create from our walkway in order for them to locate and remove the "stuck" flapper part, replace with new parts and installation of cleanout pipes for future use, as needed. When asked why he didnt use the existing cleanouts, he stated we didn't have any (incorrect). Owner Bill took no accountability for his technicians' errors. Tried negotiating... Bill offered to knock off a few hundred dollars from his quoted $2700.00 estimate-- provided I dig workspace (4 feet+ down to the the backflow valve) AND purchase the replacement parts. ?! When digging, I located 2 cleanouts (owner Bill stated these did not exist). After 3 weeks w/out plumbing; no return calls from Bill @ Burtech (expected he might at very least check in, to ensure issues caused by his team were resolved- considering the multiple calls made to him in which I was CLEARLY upset...). In end, went w/ someone else, who corrected the plumbing error(s) in an afternoon-- charged a small fraction of the amount proposed in Bill's (greedy) estimate. Hoping this review may prevent others from having a similar experience. read more

Amazing guys, fast service, easy, easy to schedule, polite and professional plumber.

Their standard charge n service met my need. Haven't heard from the renter on the subject, they must have done a good job. Thanks guys.

My T & P Valve on my water heater needed replacing but the drain pipe was soldered to the valve so I couldn't do it myself. I got on Yelp to find a plumber and 4 responded. The first one came to the house right away and told me I needed a new water heater and tried to charge me $89 for the visit without letting me know before hand. (FYI I refused to pay it and they reversed the charge.) I knew they were trying to take advantage of me. I also knew I didn't need a new water heater. The next day, Bill from Burtech Plumbing came over. He asked if my water heater was under warranty. It was but I didn't know it at the time since I just bought my house a year ago and didn't even think to check. He gave me a fair price to replace the valve and left. He was straightforward and honest - that's how I like to be treated. I didn't even bother meeting with the other plumbers after that. Burtech Plumbing sent Steven Ernst to replace the valve the following day. He had to cut the copper drain pipe and replace it. He did such an amazing job. Whoever put in the pipe before Steve either never soldered before or had their 5 year old do it because it was a mess. Steve's soldering work was very clean and looked like it was done by someone who took pride in their work and cared about their customer. I know that a drain pipe from the water heater is not important to the esthetics of a house but since this is my first home, it's important to me and I'm proud of how it looks now. Steven then turned everything back on and made sure everything was working properly before he left. I highly recommend Steven and Burtech Plumbing. I will not hesitate to contact them again for any future plumbing needs. I'm so happy and relieved to have found a plumbing company that I can trust. read more

Great job all around! Very professional service. Competent and efficient. Will use again when needed.

Steven Ernst was amazing, he came and did everything he possibly could to diagnose the issue. Which he did and was able to determine that the issue is coming from the neighbors house. They do not nickle and dime. Definitely would recommend, friendly, professional and awesome! read more

5 star service from Steven today! We had a leaky pipe in our shower and live in a condo. We had to turn off the water to our building for 7 other units do get it fixed. Stem arrived right on time ( always a plus to me). He completed the job within in the timeframe estimated (another plus to me) and completed it right! He was kind and professional and even was kind to my very protective dog! Thank you for the great work, Steven! Well recommend you to family and friends! read more

I was having trouble with my portable dishwasher and sink, Eli came out and helped me straighten everything out. Super great guy and very informative, the company as well was very responsive with setting up an appointment. Thanks Eli! read more

I developed a written scope of work for two large cast iron drain projects and solicited 12 quotes from 4.5-5.0 star plumbing contractors. I received 9 written quotes ranging from $32K to $14K. After few scope of work changes and revised quotes I selected Burtech Plumbing because of their low overall price, scope of work determination, high yelp review rating and BBB rating. I am happy to say that we were pleased with their performance. Both projects were done one at a time on back to back weeks. The team of Fabian and Arnold worked effectively together and had a great plan. They also cleaned up after themselves each day to minimize their impact to our home. One project had us jack hammering the slab in a closet behind our guest bathroom to access the old cast iron piping in order to replace the 2 inch sink and shower connections and a section of the 3 inch drain line from the guest toilet. Then we installed a liner for the rest of the the 3 inch piping so that we didn't have to jack hammer the entire run under the slab. The second project had us rerouting a 2 inch line from the kitchen down the side of the house and across the driveway so that we didn't have to jack hammer the 2 inch kitchen line going to the main drain under the slab foundation. Both of these plans had the least amount of intrusion into our current foundation but effectively either replaced or repaired our 64 year old cast iron drain system. I highly recommend you call Bill Schramm to at least get his perspective and a quote for comparison. You wont be disappointed. Curt read more

I had a need for emergency help today, and Steven Ernst of Burtech plumbing was prompt, knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. I am grateful for his help! read more

I had a sink stoppage and requested a quote in late night, and got response the same night with a competitive price. I believe this company hired a person monitoring requests 24 x 7, HA. Scheduled visit the 3rd day, the technician Bert was professional, on time and easy to communicate, he laid out his full plan before starting so that I did not have surprise in the middle or at the end of the project. This was the part I liked the best. read more

Mark is a very professional and awesome person, very knowledgeable and friendly. He saved the day! read more

Burtech Plumbing - Add from get1free coupon magazine, got a drain cleared for $59! - Plumbing Near Me - Encinitas, California

Our tech, Bert was great. He was timely, explained the problem, and showed me the solution. He made sure to offer to wear a mask. He fixed the problem with our dishwasher and was pleasant the whole time. I would definitely use the company again, and would ask specifically for Bert. read more

We had a water softener pipe leak and it flooded our garage. After everything was dried out we called Burtech Plimbing. They sent Michael Ginocchio out to make the repair. He was very good and very polite. He completed the work cleanly and efficiently. If we need plumbing service again, we definately will call and request him again. Frances P read more

Gino came to rescue our issues! He was very clear to explain and did his job really quick! I will definitely recommend this company! Thank you ! read more

Danny and Steven were fantastic. We had them perform a plumbing reroute due to a slab leak. Great experience across the board!! Polite guys... getting harder and harder to find these days!! = ) read more

They came within 36 hours of my requesting a visit to review the work and then did the work to the highest standard at a market competitive price. Going forward I will use them for ALL my plumbing needs.... read more

Burtech Pipeline provided a reasonable estimate for replacing my main water valve and altering plumbing to allow me to add an automatic cutoff valve to avoid leaks around the condo. Jaime from Burtech came out and was able to perform the job immediately, taking into account my input and concerns. I am very pleased with the work, the price, and will very likely use Burtech's services for future improvements. read more

Gino came out super fast and fixed our toliets which had been giving us fits since we moved in. Even called to check up on us later after work was finished just to make sure work was holding up and the problems had been fixed. Highly recommend for all your plumbing needs. Professional, respectful, and incredibly knowledgeable. Call these guys for your plumbing needs! read more

one toilet clogged and called Saturday and scheduled the service at Sunday Morning. Geno called at 7:50AM and telling his on the way to our home. He arrived shortly wearing the face mask and checked the issue, telling us he would try 1st option to use the snake to clean the clog at a reasonable price and try the 2 option which needs to lift up the toilet base to do the clean work if the 1st option wouldn't work but the price seems pricier. Using the snake, he quickly clean up the stuff clogging the toilet pipe within 5 minutes. immediately the toilet drains like before. Geno showed courtesy wearing the mask during the whole process. clear communication, being on time, got the problem fixed right way. looks like a small job but done well with a reasonable price. we are very satisfied with the result. we'd recommend Burtech Plumbing for their service if you have any plumbing service. read more

Gino and Dave arrived at the scheduled time and quickly diagnosed a leak that was coming from around our shower. They were able to identify the problem and quickly fix it all within about an hour. They were very professional and nice guys. read more

After researching plumbing companies with good reviews, we decided on Burtech Plumbing for a leak in our hot water line. Burtech was quick to respond and kept us informed every step of the way. Bill, Gino and Mike worked as a great team to find the leak which was in a difficult spot and to repair it. They were knowledgeable, professional, respectful and tidy. We ended up having Gino do some additional plumbing work while he was here and he did a great job. It's so hard to find prompt, honest, efficient and reliable plumbers these days who don't charge an arm and a leg for their services. We are happy to have found Burtech plumbing and will continue to use them in the future, along with highly recommending them to our friends and family. read more

Professional, reasonably priced and responsive...we are happy with the service.Will definitely use them again as and when needed

I called Burtech to hopefully, just clean out a blocked line. My washer wasn't draining correctly and water was spilling out all over the garage floor. Bert was very friendly and laid back, but he also was great and communicated with me every step of the way. He spent a good amount of time testing the line twice, to make sure that it was sufficiently cleared of debris, and offered suggestions on how to help prevent it from happening again. The work came with a 90 day guarantee, too. read more

We had a ton of work done after our remodel and Jaime and Geno exceeded our expectations. Absolutely great guys and did a great job installing our new water heater, new toilets, fixing our emergency shut off valve, hooking up our dishwasher and re-plumbing all our sinks. They came out right when we needed them and got ALL that done in a matter of hours! We did have one of the P traps have a very small leak after but they promptly sent someone out that same day. We did have an issue with the guy they sent, Bert. We had to ask him to leave. But we just requested Jaime to come back because he was so awesome and he fixed the issue super quick. I definitely recommend using Burtech, make sure you request Jaime or Geno and I'm sure they'll take great care of you. Such great guys! read more

Burtech installed a new pressure regulator for me. The price was fair and the plumber did a nice job.

Burt each was very responsive to my request for service. They called to let me know that they had a cancellation no could manage my repair the very same day. Mike, our Burtech technician, was professional and courteous. He was able to repair three malfunctioning Toto toilets quickly and efficiently unlike other plumbers in the area. He had all the parts necessary right in his truck. We will request Mike the next time we need a great plumber! read more

i called them and it was easy to make an appointment and quoted price to replace garabage disposal if needed otherwise just the quoted service call. i was given a 2pm -4pm appointment time range, Jaime called around 30 minutes prior and showed up just before 2pm, disposal did need replacing in my tenants condo. jaime explained everything and efficiently installed the new disposal. I really appreciate a company that shows up on time and completes the project in a timely manner at the quoted price. thank you Jaime at Burtech plumbing for your great service! read more

We had a pesky leak in the bathroom sink. Called for an appointment. Mike came out exactly on time. He determined the leak was not a plumbing issue, but the fabrication of the marble sink. We had another plumber do the same thing and we ended up needlessly getting new faucets! We really appreciated his discovery and have moved on to the marble company. He was highly recommended by our neighbors for his efficient service with their plumbing issue and very reasonable charges. Highly recommend this long time local Encinitas business! read more

We have had work done by both Mike and Gino. Highly professional and knowledgeable. They explained what was going on, the cause, cost, and how they would fix it clearly and logically. Gino gets extra points for metaphors :) We would absolutely use them again. read more

I have used Burtech Plumbing for many years. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Burtech Plumbing!!! There plumbers and office staff are amazing! They have VERY professional, kind, and responsible people! Bill and his office staff Ana and kristal are always able to schedule me last minute. They are also super sweet and professional. There prices are amazing and have great warranty. Thank you so much Burtech Plumbing for your GREAT SERVICE! read more

Jaime and Devin called enroute as promised and did a great job clearing roots and mud from a landscape drain. It was a tough go. Good thing they were strong. Both very personable and gave clear instructions how we could help without getting in their way and justifiably charging extra :-) We picked Burtech because they listed hydrojetting. So if there's any room for improvement, it would be in office communications in sending a crew that had hydrojet capability, even though Jaime and Devin were able to clear it without. read more

Ginocchio was outstanding! He came to our home and took care of the problem and explained why it happened. He was very patient and kind and gave great customer !!!! thank you again for taking care of everything!!!! read more

Today we had an urgent situation that Eli and Bill handled effortlessly. We had water leaking from our sump pump. They came out quickly and resolved the problem. We highly recommend Burtech and we will use them again. Thank you Eli and Bill. read more

Our sink started dripping in the night. We called in Burtech Plumbing . Next day , they came in even though it's Sunday and explained us the problem and all taken care. Really genuine team. Would call in on any day. I now understand why they are 5 stars on yelp. I am glad that I am one among those 5 star reviewers. read more

Burtech Pipeline and Burtech Plumbing recently served my home as a City project and again personally, for my whole home water filtration system. Our normally quiet neighborhood has been under construction for the last year or so and as a renter, I can see that the inconvenience and noise to be a reason to write a negative review for a company like Burtech. But as a homeowner.... I'm glad the city choose Burtech for our project, you helped replace all of our old lines and go underground in our 70 year old neighborhood. Most of the guys I talked to have been at Burtech for 10+ years. Riping out a road, water, electric and comm all while providing access to the residents to get to work in the morning and access on the way home is like doing heart surgery on an athlete during the Olympics. For the most part, they did a great job. I see the same people week after week. If anyone asks them they try to oblige an individual need they can usually come up with a solution for the occupants. I had a partially blocked sewer line issue as a result of a Burtech project. Called them and a Burtech plumber came out the same day. Bill came out with a pipe camera and found the problem, apologized for the situation and said it would get fixed asap. The very next day the street got opened back up with dozers and they fixed it. Bill called me a few times to give me updates, ended up asking him for a quote on a whole home water filtration system similar to lifesource. Price was good and honestly seems like a better system for less $$$. Jaime came out and did a clean install in my garage, couldn't happier with his plumbing. Love my new water system and not having to worry about our SoCal water quality issues like hardness, calcium build-up and the killer chlorine. Two thumbs up for Burtech Pipeline and Plumbing. read more

Burtech followed up on my quote request with a reasonable price within the hour and they were able to come first thing next morning. Jaime and one other guy were very helpful and friendly, answered all my questions and explained their process. I would definitely contact Burtech again for anything plumbing related. read more

Ali was fantastic. Great guy. Very efficient, honest nice person - did great work. Highly recommend.

Came out and gave an estimate for free. Other places wanted to charge $25-95 just to come out and see if they could handle the problem. Prompt friendly service. Diagnosed the problem and gave me an estimate. Price was reasonable. He changed out our bathtub spout and problem was solved. read more
