Our verdict
Excellent emergency response and workmanship, but quality control is inconsistent—first-visit failures can leave you paying twice for the same problem.

What reviewers report — the concerns
Other directories bury these. We think you should read them before you call. Every concern below comes from the reviews it cites.
Red flag
First-visit diagnostic failure (1 of 5 reviews): A technician ignored the work order description, misdiagnosed the root cause, and created collateral damage (unnecessary ceiling hole) rather than testing the customer's stated overflow valve issue.
Cited in 1 of the 5 reviews we analyzed.
Quality control failure on first visit: One technician failed to diagnose a known issue (overflow valve leak), cut an unnecessary ceiling hole, and didn't test the repair, forcing a costly second visit and ceiling reconstruction.
Cited in 1 of the 5 reviews we analyzed.
Limited accountability for technician errors: When a first technician caused damage and failed to complete the job, management only waived the second $85 service call rather than addressing $1,300+ in avoidable costs and ceiling damage.
Cited in 1 of the 5 reviews we analyzed.
Tool-use surcharges: One reviewer was charged an extra $110 service fee because the technician used a channel lock wrench to turn a valve, described by the customer as 'ridiculous' and a 'do not recommend' issue.
“Charged $110 extra because tech pulled out channel lock to turn valve”

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Several weeks ago I contacted Blitch Plumbing to fix a leak from the upstairs bath of a rental property. I described the leak and the conditions of it perfectly, that it occurred when the tenant took a bath and that it was most definitely coming from the overflow valve from the tub. The first "technician" dispatched cut a hole in my ceiling and determined that the overflow needed to be tightened, he described one …”
Positive
“Update: Blitch did the right thing and credited what I felt was an unfair charge. I appreciate the fact that miscommunication and misunderstandings happen, and I applaud their quick response to my review and concern! That is how business should be done! Kudos to Blitch Plumbing! Buyer beware. Found them by referral. $80 service call ( 10 minutes) charged $110 more because the tech pulled out a channel lock to turn …”
“Back in November, my daughter had a plumbing issue at her house. She and her husband called another company who came out and told her that she had a blocked drain and she would need to spend $27,000 to rip up the floor and run new drains between the bathroom and the kitchen. She was in a panic. It was C&C Meyers. They would not even put a camera down the line to see where the issue was. I have used Blitch many times …”
