Absolutely the best
When the hot water heater failed and had to be replaced, they pulled out all the stops to get me hot water again in under 30 hours. Very professional, pleasant to work with, efficient, smart, cleaned up completely afterwards. I couldn’t have asked for anything more from the entire team. Absolutely the best.

This company is now our go-to for plumbing problems.
This company is now our go-to for plumbing problems. In this case, we had a tankless water heater at a rental house that would not work. This is our first experience with Gene Burch Plumbing and we can describe our experience with them as professional, timely, considerate, reasonable, and they are good communicators! In other words, we received wonderful service. Good service is a rare experience. Thank you!

Timely. Quality work.
Timely. Quality work. Needed new water heater suddenly and quickly (normal reaction when 11 y/o appliances craps out). Needed work done to code and, per the previous owner’s remodel, needed some notable safety compliance with H2O supply shut-offs and gas valve shut-off replaced but also moved to be properly accessible. Diagnosed on Thursday afternoon, installed (code compliant with safety repairs) Friday morning. Didn't have to suffer cold water through the weekend. Thank you.

Highly recommended.
Freddy was a delight to work with. He performed a complicated job fixing a Navien water heater/boiler (which involved redoing piping, replacing a circuit board, etc.) at a reasonable price and with great professionalism. We’ve found our go-to plumber! Highly recommended.

Both did an outstanding job installing.
Brad arrived on time to install our new tankless water heater. He worked all day and was joined in the last couple of hours by Jaimie. Both did an outstanding job installing both the water heater and a recirculation valve under a sink. The job sites were left clean and neat, and everything functioned properly when they left. I was happy Brad recommended this particular water heater, as well as the recirculation valve -- it has made a huge difference in hot water delivery and reliability in our house.

Very professional, explained installation
Replaced upstairs water heater in a tight closet. Responded immediately and completed job the next day. David B and Eric were very professional, explained installation, and answered my questions. Tarped a long area of carpeting to protect it. Great clean up, no damage to carpet or walls. No additional costs beyond original estimate.

Gene Burch Plumbing is at your side
When I discovered a significant water leak of the water heater, I called Gene Burch Plumbing, and Maria went into action to juggle and find one of her team to get over to the house to inspect and assess. Ivan arrived and was phenomenal. He offered two options, and team special ordered the unit and within a day the new system was installed. Gene Burch Plumbing is at your side and delivers expert service.
Denise Lucy
I was very impressed with Ivan's knowledge & professionalism.
Our water heater died (it was almost 20 years old) over the holiday weekend. We called Gene Burch Plumbing before 9 a.m. Ivan was out to us by 11:30 a.m. to assess the situation, and then he was able to return (with his assistant, David) by 1:30 p.m. the same day and installed the new water heater, including the CA code upgrades, etc. They were all done by 4 p.m.! I was very impressed with Ivan's knowledge and professionalism. Thanks for your quick and friendly service!

David B. did a great job with my water heater replacement.
David B. did a great job with my water heater replacement. There was a lot to do: new gas lines and water lines and pressure relief, water pan, and other actions to bring things up to code. He left the area clean and all was working well. David and Gene Burch Plumbing got all this done right away so my family didn't have to wait to take a shower. Thanks!!

The satisfaction I got exceeded the inconvenience
The water heater in the house I have been renting broke down a week ago due to a leakage that had gone undetected for too long. I notified the landlord and called two other reputable plumbers whom I had hired previously. Neither of them had any openings during the following week, perhaps due to a shortage of technicians. Then, I remembered Gene Burch Plumbing from decades ago, when I had an office in the same building as theirs. They gave me an appointment for yesterday, when Brad and Kevin arrived promptly, evaluated the damage and explained it to me and then to the landlord, instructed me to clear the area around the water heater, and set an appointment for another technician to arrive the next morning.
David arrived promptly this morning after calling to let me know he was coming over. A twenty-year-old technician, David was a polite, courteous, diligent, and competent professional, who seemed to enjoy, and take a pride, in his profession, got the job done perfectly within the previously estimated time, answering every question of mine and cleaning after himself after he was done. The satisfaction I got from talking with David and watching him practice his profession so competently exceeded the inconvenience and annoyance of not having hot water for a week.
