This was my second time using the company and having Ron the technician come out. This company is very thorough, professional and informative laying out all the options. In both cases, Ron was able to identify the problem source of the leak when others could not. Highly recommend their services.

We had a 50 gallon water heater that died. We were planning on going through Home Depot outsourcing but they said they couldn’t do the project due to space and said the best solution that they could offer was to downsize to a 29.5 gallon tank. We called John and he said not a problem. Came earlier than expected, did the entire project without any issues and they were able to still use a 50 gallon tank. They found an issue with a dryer vent too and they handled it on the spot. Quick, effective, and extremely pleasant to work with. Would highly recommend and plan on using again in the future if something comes up.

Called on a weekend about an issue with my sump pump. Got a quick call back from the owner John who walked me through everything that could be going on and had me test and describe a couple things to determine it wasn’t an emergency. Set up an appointment for later that week and just had Ron come out to diagnose the issue. He was extremely professional, thorough, and clear. These guys know what they’re doing and I’ll be calling them with any issues going forward.

We like to do our own home improvement, so I was apprehensive about hiring a contractor. But my husband and I faced problems that were outside of our abilities, so we reached out to several professional plumbers. Vanessa, the plumber sent by John Baethke & Son Plumbing, was excellent. She was courteous, knowledgable, efficient, and she and her helper did great work that we felt we paid a fair price for.
She gave us an accurate estimate with different options, and spent time going over the problems and potential solutions. This was a multi-faceted job, including drain cleaning, toilet replacement, shower repair, and sink upgrades, and the different parts were all done so well that I have already hired them for another large upgrade on my old plumbing system. This was in stark contrast to other plumbers that didn't even reply, or were difficult to deal with. I would recommend John Baethke & Son Plumbing to anyone looking for quality work.
I'd also like to thank the company for getting vaccinated! That issue was addressed immediately, and without my even having to ask about it, which I really appreciated. They obviously prioritize the safety of their clients, and I'm grateful.response / report this review -

They answered their phone after hours last night and came promptly this morning. Diagnosed the issue and fixed it quickly and efficiently. Very pleased with this service.

Our undermount sink was falling down on one side & our faucet leaked. Cormac assessed the situation and presented us with various options and price points to fix the issues. He was very professional and fixed everything just the way he said he would. We definitely recommend John Baethke & Son and will use them again when we have another plumbing need! Thank you!

Cormac from Baethke responded quickly and professionally to our emergency need and kept at it till it was done. He even needed to call in Hector for assistance as the job proved to be a challenge. They got it finished on time for us to use the building and did a great job cleaning up. I'd have no problem calling Baethke again.

John Baethke & Son Plumbing is available 24 hours and if they don't have available plumbers to come out to meet your last minute request on a Sunday (like my situation), they schedule one to come out the following day in the morning. They made sure to have a dispatcher answer their calls when you initially call them then have someone else promptly follow up to book your appointment. I called on a Sunday evening due to an emergency leak from the dishwasher hose and I was booked the following Monday morning. They advised me someone would come out between an estimated time frame of 10A-1P but Ron was available to come earlier at about 9A-9:30A -- which was a pleasant surprise! I highly appreciated the attention and immediate availability. Ron assessed my situation thoroughly, explained what he noticed needed to be fixed, and showcased different payment options based on different services needed to be done, etc. I felt at ease and not pressured when he explained the payment options and he worked right away and quickly. Everything needed to resolve my situation was stocked in their truck -- thank goodness for same-day visit resolution! I highly recommend this company due to their prompt attention, thorough explanation, professionalism, and explanation and breakdown of payment costs based on services. I did not feel pressured to pay for a service I thought I did not need. Thank you so much for sending Ron out and over all quickly getting back to me during my time of need! I am a single mom and remedying my situation as quickly as possible was what I needed! I appreciate your reliability!

Ron Page was a polite, knowledgeable and experienced professional. He advised well on practical alternatives, giving us a range of solutions for our plumbing repairs and upgrades. We have high confidence in our final plans, as a result of the honest discussions provided by Ron. We highly recommend Ron as well as John Baethke and son Plumbing.
Now that the work has begun, we continue to be pleased with the very professional work quality, as well as the efficient progress.response / report this review -

Cormoc was very nice, professional, and efficient. He asked us about our problem. He then explained exactly what he was going to do to determine the cause of our problem and how much it would cost and made sure we understood before he started. During the process He discovered a problem we didn't know about that was the city's responsibility. He and his colleagues coordinated with the city for an inspector to come out. Regardless of the outcome of the inspection, I would strongly recommend anyone with a sewer or plumbing problem to call Baethke & Son. I especially appreciated the documentation explaining the work done, cost and the warranty. Very professional.

Excellent Service. Had a huge leak and they were able to fit me in last minute. Cormac was a total pro. Though obviously technically trained I was more impressed with the customer service from both the office but even more so from Cormac. He took the time to walk through the issue, presented multiple fixes and even went as far to empty out all the bowls that had filled up because of the leak after he was done fixing the leak. He even took it upon himself to setup a consultation with Chicago Water & Fire(they dry/fix the damaged drywall and wood) as he noticed they were working on another project across the street. He was able to get an estimator over same day as the leak was fixed. Highly recommend. Will continue to be by go to.

Bruce was able to fix a sewer gas problem that had stumped other plumbers. He was professional, thorough, and respectful of my home and opinions. We will absolutely be using this company for all of our plumbing needs.

GREAT experience on several occasions. In a situation where my landlord picked a plumber for me, I asked THAT plumber (different company) if he knew of John Baethke, and he said, "Oh yes! That's where we send people when we can't figure out a problem. They're awesome."

Hired John Baethke & Son to handle our new tankless hot water heater install plumbing needs. They came highly recommended by Current Electric in Glenview -- who handled our electric needs for this with much success by the way! We had Cormac handle the work and he was super. Answered all questions, provided me multiple options for the work needed, and completed all needed updates in one single day.
The tankless unit we ordered from Amazon (Eco 18) needed to be replaced due to a hairline crack but all of the work completed by Cormac was working and looks great. I couldn't be happier. These are my new go-to plumbers going forward.
Photo of the final setup is attached. They installed clean supply and feed lines to the tankless along with pressure relief valves for both sides. Clean and sleek!
Be sure to ask for Cormac by name to handle your work -- he rocks!response / report this review -

They definitely named their company right! My tub was clogged last wed, tried the Draino route and it didn't do the job. So I did the usual next step, Yelp research. I called 2 other places on Friday, no call backs. I called Fast Response on Saturday morning, leaving them a voicemail expecting a call back on Monday, to my surprise I received a call back the same day and they offered me an appointment later on that afternoon.
Their staff was prompt, professional and didn't charge me anything out of the ordinary prices.
Two thumbs up!response / report this review
