B K Plumbing

B K Plumbing takes care of plumbing needs around Escondido. Their work covers clearing blocked drains, replacing water heaters, and hooking up bathroom vanities and fixtures. Technicians such as Scott, Stephen Genualdi, Nick Deaton, Colin, Stephen, Allen and Mason show up for these jobs. The company handles both quick fixes and bigger installations that customers schedule ahead of time.

Customers call them for sudden backups where water backs up in sinks and tubs, and the crew clears the line on the spot. Water heater swaps come up often, with the old unit removed and a new one set in place along with the needed connections. Some jobs involve fitting a double vanity into a bathroom, including drain lines. Reviewers mention cases where the first plumber missed the clog, but this crew opened the pipe without extra digging or damage.

They respond fast to weekend and after hours calls, sometimes arriving the same day for hot water heater trouble. Communication stays straightforward on what needs doing, though one customer noted two workers showed up for a planned job and the hourly charge came in higher than expected without upfront notice. Service stays local to the area, with follow up visits the next day when parts or extra help are needed to finish.

“Thank you so much for coming out on a Sunday and helping us with our plumbing issues. We had another plumbing service out last week and they told us that all was well and no clogs in our drains but that was not the case. Everything in the house filled up with water this morning and would not drain. Scott from BK Plumbing arrived quickly, was very professional and efficient. He was able to get the clogged pipe open without any problems. We paid an elevated weekend rate but the cost was still very affordable for us. Also, Scott was great with our big dog who was right there for help and supervision of services. Thank you again to Scott and BK Plumbing!”

“BK Plumbing was amazing! We had an emergency with our hot water heater, they were here swiftly and began working on the issue. They gave me the name of someone to call to repair something that wasn’t in their wheelhouse. That person was here within hours. Both teams came back the next day and finished everything!! Thank you for your promptness and professionalism!!”

“Not happy with this company. No transparency on the hourly rate. They sent two guys when i didn't ask for that. Hourly rate was over $300!! And not disclosed upfront. This wasn't an emergency repair, it was scheduled for a week out. It took them almost all day to install a double vanity in a bathroom and initially charged me over $2000.... to install a vanity that was already assembled and connect to the drain.. 6 hours each guy times $150. My final bill (after having to argue about it) was $1,800. I'm shocked. Tried to get in touch with a manager or owner and was told i would get a call back and never did, 2 weeks later. Was hoping to get some kind of credit or at least an explanation on why the price was so high. We had them scheduled for another project but I definitely won't use this company again.”

“BK Plumbing provided an outstanding experience from the initial consultation with Nick Deaton to the final installation by Colin, Stephen, Allen and Mason. A competent, committed, and caring experience. I highly recommend their services.”

“Stephen Genualdi was the plumber who did our hot water heater. It was a very very old heater we had, Stephen put all the things the new one needed and explained all to us. I was so thankful, and the new one is awesome. BK plumbing is definitely my plumbers now. They had put one in for my daughter a month before and she told me of them. Very nice and considerate people!!!”
