Mike Krischke Plumbing Co

Mike Krischke Plumbing Co operates as a straight-ahead plumbing outfit based in Burnet, TX. They focus on residential jobs across the area, handling everything from routine fixes to bigger replacements that keep water systems running right. Homeowners in Burnet deal with hard water and older lines that cause backups and leaks, so the crew stays busy sorting those out without extra talk or delays. Mike Krischke shows up with the tools and parts needed, working directly on site to get things sorted for houses that need reliable service in central Texas conditions.

The work covers pipe repairs like swapping out thirty feet of line that backed up kitchen sinks when the dishwasher and washer ran at the same time. Mike has replaced pressure reducing valves on warranty calls and fixed leaky fixtures in homes where new owners needed quick help. He also explains basic house details during visits so folks understand their setups better. Reviews mention solid turnaround on diagnosing problems and getting parts in place, along with property managers calling him back for repeat work at multiple sites because the fixes hold up under daily use.

Customers keep pointing to fast response times when issues hit, fair charges on the jobs, and clear explanations that build trust over time. Quality shows in the repeat calls from managers who count on him for properties, though one valve job used a part that wore out sooner than expected. The mix lands at a score that reflects real results without overpromising. DIRT Score 3.55 from 15 reviews on Finds.

“Incredibly satisfied and appreciative of the work Mike’s provided for us over the years, especially this last round with replacing about 30ft worth of pipe that was causing a backup in our kitchen sink every time we ran the dishwasher and washer. His turnaround time for diagnosing the issue, getting the job scheduled, picking up materials was fantastic and his pricing is incredibly fair and competitive. Mike is now our go-to guy for any plumbing needs !!”

“Mike Krische Plumbing was assigned by a home warranty company to replace a Pressure Reducing Valve on my home. Less than 1 year later, it has failed. I discovered he used a plastic part instead of the recommended metal (so he could pocket more money of course). When I called to ask if he could honor a 1 year warranty, he refused. He told me that plastic parts are what he uses exclusively and that failure after 1 year is common. Unless you want inferior parts that will fail, do not use Mike Krischke Plumbing.”

“I am a property manager that initially found Mike through a home warranty company (not known for the best tradesmen). Mike was a wonderful find and I rely on him as my trusted 'go-to" for plumbing issue at my properties. I would give more than 5 stars if it was possible. I highly recommend Mike.”

“Had a great experience with Mike as my plumber. I'm a new home owner still learning the ropes. Not only did Mike fix a few of the issues I had with leaky fixtures, but he taught me a lot about my own house that I didn't know. Fair, honest work and pricing. I'll absolutely be using Mike for my future plumbing needs.”

“Do not hire. My warranty company assigned Mike Krischke Plumbing to replace my broken and leaking water heater. The soonest this company said they could fix my water heater was 2 weeks away. I patiently waited the full 2 weeks without a working (and leaking) water heater. The morning when Mike was supposed to arrive, he called and said he was having car trouble (the most common excuse I always hear from service companies when they are too busy). Mike canceled and refused to reschedule. I asked when he could make it back out and he simply said he could not reschedule because he was too busy with other clients.”
