Busto Plumbing Services Inc

Fantastic response time and quality work! The plumber that they sent out was excellent, efficient, professional, and communication was on point! Busto Plumbing gave me a better price than the 2 previous plumbers I had come out to give me an estimate. Highly recommended for any plumbing needs.

As a homeowner, property manager and commercial real estate investor, I have relied on Busto Plumbing to service our properties for years. They are a locally owned, family oriented company that cares deeply for their customers, employees and partners. In a world where everything is becoming more expensive, Busto continues to provide good, timely, affordable service. They have always worked to resolve my plumbing problems as quickly as possible, and I recommend them regularly as I am confident they will take good care of the customer.

Excellent customer service. When dealing with their front office they were polite with timely follow up. Most importantly, Julio, the technician, immediately recognized/diagnosed an issue (that other plumbers had missed) and provided a quick and effective solution.

As a landlord with several residential units, I have found Busto to be reliable and dependable each time I need them. Billing is never an issue; nor, is the quality of their work or the fees they charge. I am certainly glad that I found them.

Busto Plumbing is a Bust... The main reason I had them come out last week was due to a smell coming from the master sink faucet and shower. I also had little things I wanted them to do since they were coming out; change shower handle, snake guest bath sink and shower drain and fix noise coming from guest toilet. First, they were supposed to be at my home between 8-10 am, they showed up around 10:30 due to traffic. Once he got here, he could not figure out where or why the smell was occurring and said for me to just pour bleach down each drain to see if that would work... He then tested the water flow in the guest bathroom and said indicated it was draining fine and he could make it any better. (I poured drain-O down after he left and it made it somewhat better...) He said he could fix the handle to the shower and the noise coming from the toilet but he would have to go to the store as he did not have any of those supplies on hand. This added another hour. He eventually put on the new handle and fixed the noise at a cost of $251.00. They still haven't provided us with a detailed invoice of their service. I have left two messages for the Service Manager, Robert, to call me back and have yet to receive a return call. Lastly, the plumber smelled of cigarette smoke, to the point when he left the bathroom, it smelled like him. Don't waste your time or money using this company.

Thanks to Busto for another satisfying service call. The office stayed n touch with me re: arrival time as requested. Plumber was helpful and pro-active in resolving additonal minor issues, saved us money with his suggestions, and left a spotless worksite after install of a new toilet and more.

A few years ago I had a tankless hot water heater installed by Busto and was pleased with the product and the workmanship. So when we had a problem with the hot water suddenly slowing and low pressure, with barely any water coming out, I natuarry called Busto. Though this seemed to me to be quite serious, they couldn’t get anyone out for 3 days. The worker who came out assured me that it was not a busted pipe and went to each bathroom and checked the flow and finally in the master bath, the faucet spewed out some orange sedemint and he immediately said, “your softener exploded”. He then went to various faucets and removed the aeroater and cleaned the sediment out. I requested a descaling while he was here and this was completed and I paid for the service. Over the next 2 weeks, we constantly got sediment in the water and the hot water started getting slower and slower until almost nothing. By this time I had already flushed the system by letting all the faucets run, without success. So on 8/29 I called Busto for a service call. The young lady answering was pleasant and advised she would get back to me after calling the service technician who had performed the work. She called back shortly and advised he could come out between 12 - 2pm on 8/30. I cancelled all activity to be home for the appointment. At approx. 2:10pm, after the appointment time slot, I received a call from the young lady saying the tech was delayed on the previous call and could ”possibly” arrive by 4pm. I assured her that I would be at home as I had cancelled anything that could interfere. She advised that she would keep me posted. Shortly after that I received a call from a male at Busto. He gave some general info on sediment and advised the tech was leaving south Tampa enroute to my residence. He then began to explain that I could let the faucets run myself to flush and it would save the cost of the service call. I inquired if the problem was in the tank flushing if I would have to pay again. He asked how much I paid and then advised he was calling the tech when I gave him the amount. I received another call from the male a few minutes later and he continued to tell me about flushing the lines saying you can do a lot of that yourself. I advised I had already done this twice. When I inquired as to paying again for the same service, rather than getting the tech out to evaluate, the male questioned my plumbing experience, suggesting that I did not have the knowledge to make that determination. Apparently it was good enough to determine a problem the first time for which I paid for descaling consisting of circulating water and chemical through a tank and for removing the aeraters from 4 faucets. It appeared that rather than coming out to access, he was doing everything to discount the call so that the tech would not have to come back out in the event it was the same issue. Rather than questioning my plumbing experience it would seem that the better option would have been for someone to actually come out to determine the problem. Though I’m sure they are skilled, all problems may not be able to be evaluated via phone call. There could actually be a problem which my meager plumbing knowledge could not determine for them and relay in my phone call, and maybe, just maybe, someone who’s plumbing skills are questioned, should not be suggested to “do it yourself”.

Busto Plumbing came right out to fix a leak and did a great job at a good price. Really nice and helpful people. Thank you Angela, Tony, Sergio, Corey and Julio!
