Response from Rapid First Plumbing
Thank you for taking time to place your report on Angie's list. While we never want to hear negative feedback, we do believe all feedback is important in helping us maintain and understand what offering the finest customer service means to our clients. In response to concerns about pricing, we would like to respond that there is a difference between a service charge and the cost of doing a job. We do not have a show up service charge for drain cleaning. We do, however, make an effort to give our clients an idea of the possible cost of doing the entire job, start to finish for drain cleaning. We apologize if an impression was made there would be a significant charge just for arriving on the job. While it is somewhat like trying to diagnose a medical condition over the phone, in these economic times, we try to give our clients an idea of the approximate cost for drain cleaning over the phone. Readers of this post may have experienced some cases where companies won’t give a price over the phone at all, and then upon arrival may discover the price is very high. Or in some cases, been given a “response” price, but upon arrival the cost might be additional per foot of line cleaned, or so much for the first 15 minutes, and each 15 minute increment thereafter. It is also true that there are companies that charge less than Rapid Rooter Plumbing. With Rapid Rooter Plumbing, our customers are getting the benefit of a very experienced, licensed company that has longevity based on excellent technical skills and providing the finest customer service available. Again, we apologize if we gave the impression that there was a “service charge”, but that is not the case at Rapid Rooter Plumbing for drain cleaning. While we are disappointed that we did not get an opportunity to show you our commitment to customer service, we are certainly glad you were able to find a company to help. At Rapid Rooter Plumbing, we appreciate our licensed peers. We keep each other sharp, and give our clients choices. We do hope that if you have a problem in the future, you will choose to give us another chance.
