The service person who came out was fine. He did the work quickly and fixed the problem. My issue was not with him at all. We appreciated his work. I was not at the home when the service was performed, so the person who was at the home thought the price was high and asked the service man to call me prior to putting the charge through. He said he tried to call me but did not leave a message. I did not see a phone call in my missed calls. The office did call me the next morning to put through the credit card info which was when I asked about the charge. They connected me to someone that I assume was a person in charge. I asked him about the charge of $69.00 and he immediately said I had agreed to it. I explained I did but I also thought once I agreed to the work that he would apply that amount to the total service change for one hour of service (the service only took 30 minutes - but I understand most services charge a 1 hour minimum). He was defensive right away, cutting me off whenever I tried to clarify my question and saying the service man tried to call me several times - which was not the case. He told me the $69. was for the travel fee because he needs to charge for a truck coming out for gas and driving time. I said that fee, along with the $80 service fee seemed high for a 30 minute call that did not require anything except gluing the pipe. He continued to be sarcastic, rude and argumentative. I told him I was not trying to not pay the fee, but that I could not even ask a question because he continually cut me off. It was clear he had been ready to argue before he picked up the phone and I'm not sure why. I will never work with their company again and plan to tell anyone who does need plumbing to NOT use Tucson Plumbing. I don't know why he was so defensive and upset - I was not raising my voice or even angry - I just wanted to understand the charges but because he wouldn't let me talk I still don't understand how they changed the service call. He was supposed to email me the receipt and still has not sent it.
Description of Work: I called to get work done the same day and Tucson Plumbing responded quickly. They explained on the phone they had a $69.00 dollar travel fee. I assumed this meant that if I did not use their service I would pay the $69 for coming to provide the service. I did accept their work when they came. It was just a loose pipe and needed tightening. The work took less than 30 minutes and we were charged an additional $80.00 for the service.

Response from Tucson Plumbing Service
I am very sorrry for any confusion. yes there was a trip fee to pay the technician to come to the house (we do not pay on commission to our techs like some other companies do). Anything beyond that is chargable. $149 to get a plumber to show up to a house and make a repair in most peoples eyes is very reasonable.

Tucson Plumbing was extremely professional. They correctly diagnosed breaks in the sewer line under our house, worked with our insurance company for us, carefully dug a 30-foot trench in our post-tension slab to reveal and replace the problem pipe, and covered it back up ready for new concrete. Lalo, our project lead, was exceptionally informative and helpful. A huge thank you to them, I would recommend them highly.

It went perfectly fine. Ernie, the plumber who did the work was on time, professional, courteous and efficient. He was very helpful answering our questions about other plumbing issues that we had and we appreciate his advice. He was very friendly and confident. This is not our first experience with Tucson Plumbing and we have been very satisfied with all of the work done by this company.

Once in every blue moon great business is done with an old fashioned handshake and smile. I am a single mom of two teen kids suffering from 'old home syndrome' and am enduring a season of broken appliances and cooling and electrical problems. My kids and I had been up since 3am, spending several hours anxiously removing water flowing throughout our home from my 5 year old, 50 gallon water heater. Fearful of the costs, I contacted several local plumbing companies to get estimates. One of the companies estimated it would cost more to replace the warrantied water heater as it did to initially buy it and have it installed. Next I contacted Tucson Plumbing and they sent plumber Edward Ryan to my house for an estimate. At my request, Eddie returned as soon as my work schedule permitted to replace my water heater. Armed with a smile, his tool box and a brand new water heater, I watched Eddie work with expertise. He'd already completed the necessary foot and paper work to honor the warranty for my defective water heater at no cost to me. When Eddie handed me the invoice, I held my breath concerned I was being low-balled. I was delighted to see it was for the exact same amount as his estimate. I intentionally waited a few days before evaluating my experience with Tucson Plumbing and Eddie Ryan. I'm happy to report Eddie's work is indeed immaculate. I have no leaks or problems and as I anticipate my next home adventure, I delight in my warm showers. I gladly refer friends, family, everyone I know to Tucson Plumbing. With great appreciation and sincerity, Rheta M.

The serviceman was prompt; efficient; and extremely knowledgeable about our problem. We had to take care of all the wet carpet, but we also had the serviceman change out another toilet that had been making a loud noise. He did a wonderful job - we were so happy it wasn't an "under slab" problem.
Description of Work: We had a section of hallway carpet that was soaked. We called Tucson Plumbing thinking it might be a water leak "under slab". The serviceman discovered that it was a over flowing toilet tank; float quit working; flooded out through the hole where the handle was; and soaked under the wall from the half bath to the hallway. He replaced the "insides" of the toilet.

I called Tucson Plumbing to come out and correct and/or finish a job on a water heater that had been left unfinished by another plumber. It was after hours on a holiday weekend and while we had to pay the price for this timing, it was amazing how responsive, professional, and punctual they were in completing the job. I can now say with no reservations "you get what you pay for!" Have referred them several times since to neighbors and have had nothing but good responses back.

Prompt and courteous. Very professional. A little pricey for a relatively short job based on my experience as a vice president for a commercial building corporation which had a plumbing division. Overall, I was pleased with their work.

[member name removed], Thank you for choosing Tucson Plumbing. As you are aware that there is a great deal of time in going out and evaluating your issue, calling water heater company for warranty info. Then the plumber has to drain, remove and go get new water heater and install it to code. Then the plumber still needs to return the water heater. I hop you can understand that $350 is a very inexpensive price for all said work. Thank you very much, Jasper Williams service manager

See above.
Description of Work: Under floor water leak. Determined location and size of leak. This was a tile floor on a concrete slab. He then determined the beginning and end of that particular water line in order to decide how to reroute the water line iwth the least damage. It appeared at first that he would have to open up a wall by going through a cabinet. He didn't like that solution and determined the opening could be behind the washing machine and the new water line could be strung in the attic. This was not the easiest solution but was the best for appearance and ease of repair. It took 2 men about 4 hours to complete the project. They were very professional and neat, 2 of the best tradesmen we have ever had in the house.

Either the plumber that did the work was not very smart (connected the faucet and spray backwards, then blamed the lack of water pressure on the airator!), or he was intentionally trying to milk the job. He did offer to come back another day (cash to him rather than his company!) to "defect" in the brand new fixtures. Hmmm. There were a few other problems, too.
