The person was very prompt in coming out to look at the leak, and said they would get back to us with a quote. That was three weeks ago. We have left repeated messages and emails, and they have not yet had the courtesy to get back to us with a quote. We are in the process of selling our home and need this quote in order to ensure we can either give credit to the buyer or get the pump fixed. Each time we call, the receptionist says that a) they will email the quote that day or b) the General Manager is out to lunch, out on a service call, or on a conference call and will call back. There have been 5 phone calls and one email. It feels as though they are intentionally avoiding us. We are going to try one more time, but thought this was poor enough customer service to warrant a warning to others who are looking for well and pump services.
Description of Work: They came out to hook a pump up to our wellj. We had already bought the pump, and they advised that we had purchased the wrong parts for hook-up, but that they would do the work anyway. In fact, the pump developed a very bad leak a few months later. We asked them to come out and quote what it would cost to fix it, understanding that since they had said the hook-up was incorrect we would have to pay for it.

The first time we called, it was during a storm and they were understandably swamped. We didn't get any real communication, but someone did come out that night and get the pump working again. I was very clear in asking if there was anything that should be addressed—the check valve had jammed up—and didn't get any advice. To be clear, this was an opportunity to recommend significant additional work. Because they didn't fix the root problem, in the next storm, the pump immediately stopped working again. We called back and emailed several times and didn't get any sort of response at all. I ended up tearing the whole thing out and redoing it myself—it's worked perfectly since.
Description of Work: We needed our sump pump fixed.

My daughter handled everything and said they were great and really explained everything clearly to her.
Description of Work: They replaced a sump pump. I had purchased a home that came with a home warranty. when the sump pump stopped working I called the home warranty company. Two different people were sent out: a plumber then an electrician. Neither one were able to figure out the problem. I called East Pump. Even though it was during all the rain and were very busy, someone came out and knew exactly what the problem was. I bought a new sump pump, it was installed promptly and all is well with the world,

Description of Work: We called this company when the pump on our well needed to be fixed/replaced. A representative came and looked at it and said that he would give us an estimate. Several days later I called to ask about the estimate and was told that it takes 2 weeks to provide one. They never called us back! Apparently, they didn't want our business.

Extraordinarily responsive. On time or called if there were to be delays. They gave polite, thorough explanations. Can't judge whether the pricing is fair as I have no prior experience with pressure booster pumps.
Description of Work: Installed a top of the line booster pump.

They replaced pump and then found that the tank that stored water was leaking and they replaced that too. They came promptly, worked efficiently and addressed problems that came up with alacrity and in a friendly manner. I would have preferred never to have the problem, but they handled it well.
Description of Work: I have a well in the backyard for the garden. When the pump failed the lawn sprinkler company recommended East Bay Pump. I had never heard of them. They replaced the pump and then found that the tank that stored water was leaking and they replaced that too. Please note, I do not know how much a pump should cost, but it all ripped into my budget. I cannot fault the company for this, but I have no grounds for knowing if price was A or B above.
