Report
I wanted to post a whole-hearted and enthusiastic recommendation for AJ Buerkle Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning. We had an obscure leak from our 2nd floor laundry room into our kitchen. It was not easy to locate what was causing the leak. It involved cutting holes in a wall and a ceiling to locate the problem area and a remote camera to understand the problem. AJ Buerkle (father & son) managed the entire problem from beginning to end including a second professional to utilize a remote camera and then scheduling dry wall repair. Throughout the entire process they were courteous, informative

A. J. Buerkle Plumbing Company is an excellent company to use if you are having plumbing problems. They are professional, courteous and efficient. I had a toilet leaking in my bathroom which damaged the sub-floor, tile floor and ceiling below. Mr. Buerkle came out and diagnosed the problem and had all the specialists needed to fix the problem. He had a carpenter available, a tile person and a plasterer for me to use. He took all of the stress off of me to get the problem solved. I would highly recommend using A.J. Buerkle.

My parents and I have trusted Al and his company to come into our homes over the last two decades for emergency plumbing service as well as scheduled service, and they have always been professional, courteous and successful in performing their work. They do the work that others either can't do, or aren't willing to do, and they do it for a fair price in a timely manner. We highly recommend AJ Buerkle!

We have been using A J Buerkle Plumbiing & Heating Company as our "go to" company whenever we have a need for plumbing work for the past 19 years. They have always provided quality work at affordable prices. You can reach them when you need them 24/7. I recently had an emergency because of poor work provided by a Heating & Cooling Company. A J Buerkle responded quickly after hours and resolved the problem. I am going to look to them in the future for my Heating & Cooling needs as well. I highly recommend this company's services. Their people are great and they truly care about doing the work right
