    Threatened with legal action for leaving an honest review

    Not sure how this business has 4.8 stars. As previous reviewers have stated, this business significantly overcharges for their services. The plumber that came out was extremely nice and helpful, but if you have questions regarding the excessive estimates the business owner Tim won't talk to customers and instead hides behind a women at home answering the phone who says she doesn't know why the charges are so high and the owner isn't available to answer questions. Have used many businesses over the years but would not recommend this one. Greedy overcharging, and poor customer service to say the least. Update: after posting this honest review now the business is threatening me with litigation: see photo

    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.

    As anyone can guess, losing hot water in your house is a serious matter. The situation is…read moreaggavated when your water heater on the fritz is less than one-year-old! My family faced this situation and I contacted Quick Water Heater for help via Yelp. Within seconds (yes, seconds) Camille reached out to me (on a Sunday) and heard my dilemma. She walked me through their (very intuitive) website and explained the process for me. After agreeing to have a technician visit my home to assess the situation and provide a more accurate estimate, I waited for the next day. My appt was set for 1400 hrs but Erick contacted me asking if I could accommodate his visit earlier, which I welcomed with gusto. By 10AM he was taking a look at my dead appliance. Erick took a look and the mystery of the broken 1-yr-old water heater was resolved. My pressure modulator was dead, so the 150PSI streaming through my house killed the water heater. Erick replaced my water heater, the water pressure modulator and also replaced my main line shut-off valve, which was done as well. Through the process, Erick patiently explained not only WHAT he was doing, but WHY he was doing it. His technical knowledge was impressive and it was only matched by his affable demeanor. Camille and Erick represented Quick Water Heater extremely well. The Dream Team for any service provider. I will add myself to the long list of impressed customers. Well done!

He was also very impressive when listening to him explain what our system could look like and what our options would be. At that time, we were already having an ADU built in our backyard, and when the contractor found out we wanted a new tankless heater and water filter installed on our main house, he offered us a discount and installed a tankless heater. It ended up being a big mistake as they did a very sloppy job. Fast forward to this past September 2025, and my wife put out a Yelp request to get a water filtration system installed. She did not know that Pure Plumbing had come out previously, but I recognized Bryan's name when my wife told me he would be coming to the house. He walked my wife through everything while I was at work, and she was impressed by him too. He even pointed out where our contractor's plumber had made a major mistake with our tankless heater. We ended up having Pure Plumbing install the water filtration system, the price was great, and they did a fabulous job. In addition, thanks to Bryan's alertness, we were able to have our contractor's plumber come out to fix their mistake. Thank you Bryan, and thank you Pure Plumbing. I highly recommend this company.

    I know I'm just piling on with this review, but my experience was quick, painless and educational…read more My guy was on time for our appointment and went right to work. He flushed/de-scaled my tankless water heater and then made sure everything in the house was working as it should. The whole job was done in less than an hour and his recommendation for me was not to worry about it for another two years. So if I only have to spend $125/year for my water heater maintenance, I'm probably getting away cheap. great service, I'll use them again. Oh and if you call to make an appointment you will be connected to "Sophie" at first, just to warn you, she is AI and gets stuff wrong, best thing you can do is ask her if she's AI, she will tell you she is, and then you can ask for a human being, worked for me. TIP TO OWNER - make sure you stock up the True Plumbing stickers in each repairperson's van, having a sticker on my water heater will help me in two years time. My guy had run out.

Was confused because took my name and booked an appointment, but didn't get my address. 2 hour window for the appointment and was able to get a time less than 48 hours. Received a confirmation email and had my address which was wild. Fast forward to Monday and they arrived 25 minutes before their scheduled time. They sent a text that they would be arriving in 30 minutes and then they were there. Usually would be happy for a plumber to arrive early, but wife had a work call and I was driving home from work to meet him. He was ringing the doorbell a bunch which annoyed my wife, but life happens. Joel was very nice and said we needed to call CPL to locate where exactly the leak is. He gave me the wrong number for CPL even though I read the number back to him. True Plumbing didn't have any appointments the next day, but Joel found a way to squeeze me in to take a look after CPL completed their inspection. Sent two estimates which I had questions about. I talked to Joel on the phone and he answered them all. I really like that he was able to do cement work which some places wouldn't do. The communication across the board really stood out to me and I know their prices are better than most because I had quite a few estimates.

    The company, starting with Greg and Ben, then Brandon and Adam, were not just conscientious and…read morecourteous but extremely valuable in their consultative capacity. In contrast to others I have dealt with, they truly sought to inform me rather than trying to drive my decision or to "close a sale." I discussed frankly my "DIY" alternative and there was no pessimism or pressure, and I got the answers I needed to finalize my decision to replace, and the same with the more complex decision and tradeoffs of going tankless, and also they alerted me to the fact that I do not have a water pressure regulator, but, again, purely informatively, not in a "sales" mode, and referred me to resources to study further. I consider the price to have been competitive and also I have confidence in their guidance on the right model. They were punctual and once you know what you want, it is great to have it fully accomplished the next day. I recommend very highly the professionals who worked with me and the company they represent.

    We've used Quick Water Heater & Filtration Company twice now and have been very happy both times…read more Our first install was back in 2019 with Gregg and Jacob, and everything went smoothly. This time around, our Rheem water heater failed before reaching even 7 years, despite having a 12‑year warranty. Even though Quick is closed on weekends, Brandon texted me and set us up first thing Monday morning. Ben (sales) was extremely helpful, walked me through all the options, and made a genuine effort to get Rheem to honor the warranty. Unfortunately, Rheem couldn't provide a replacement and instead offered fair market compensation (still TBD). Not thrilled with Rheem, but Ben handled the situation professionally and kept me informed throughout. We ultimately went with a Bradford White, and Sammy installed it the same day. His work was excellent--professional, efficient, and spotless cleanup. The Bradford White + installation was very reasonable and very surprisingly comparable to my prior installation. Very impressed with Quick's responsiveness, professionalism, and ability to turn everything around in a single day. Highly recommend them.
