The next morning they informed me that their schedule was slammed and that possibly Monday or Tuesday they could look into the job. As I had tenants with no hot water or heat in the winter and it was a Friday it was imperative to get this job done immediately. I called around and found a licensed plumber who was able to come out that day. He dug an additional two feet where the pipe comes into the house at the front door (as this was where the gas was detected originally) and immediately found the problem within 30 minutes. RJ Carroll and Sons could have probably done the same but deferred to racking up a service call (at time and a half) with out really doing anything. So basically I paid 134.00 for about 15 minutes "work" They will definitely NOT be on my call list in the future.
Description of Work: A tenant had smelled gas near the front door of a rental property so the Gas Company shut the gas off at the street. It was 5:00 pm on a Thursday so I resorted to calling RJ Carroll and Sons plumbing. I was informed that it was at time and a half service and I agreed to have the situation assessed. They showed up about an hour later did some cursory digging of about 6 inches. Their assessment was all over the map that it could be a 90 elbow at the front door or the entire pipe from the street would need to be removed. At that point they said they would check the schedule for the next morning. They made no effort to do anything at that time beyond the cursory digging.

Description of Work: R J Carroll has come out twice to work on our house. The first time was to repair a backed up washer drain. That experience was just B level as they sent one of their repair guys and he wasn't as careful with the drain as I think he should have been. He got it done but I felt it took him longer than it should have. The second time was an A++ experience with Carroll himself coming out to replace a shower faucet. He got it done right, explained what went wrong, how to prevent it and how to do some of the work myself. That experience will bring us back many times into the future.

Outstanding. very quick, professional and courteous. The plumber was very careful not to make a mess and took great care to not be disruptive in the house as we were preparing for a party.
Description of Work: We woke up Saturday morning with a clogged drain. We called RJ Carroll and their response was highly professional, very prompt and great results. They were on site within an hour or so from when I first called and had the entire problem solved quickly, easily and for exactly what they said. Highly recommend!!!

We woke up to minimal hot water. I called RJ Carroll around 8 in the morning. They explained their billing policy ($87 an hour, minimum, billed to a credit card, with the balance assigned to the card at the end of the repair). I agreed. The plumber showed up within forty minutes, and I showed him the existing situation to the best of my understanding of our home and the plumbing. At the end of the repair, the plumber (sorry, can't remember his name), gave me a thorough walk-through of his repair and recommendations for the future. We discussed why replacement of the water heater was unnecessary at this time, and the considerations that would be needed when it was replaced, based upon the water pressure readings that were taken at different points in the home plumbing. Modifications to the shut-off valve, near a water softener were also discussed. The plumber was professional, informed, and communicated his work clearly to me. He listened to my concerns and was responsive. He also pointed out a vent missing a cap that should be installed. (It was not something he carried as a standard item on the truck, although I should say that when I called, they asked me the size of my water heater....my guess is that the plumber was prepared to replace the water heater if it had been necessary.) After the work, I received a billing statement from the company identifying the work completed and the billing to my card. I was very satisfied with the work completed, the competence and professionalism of the plumber, and the result of the repair.
Description of Work: Hot water heater was repaired. A drain tube and new valve were installed on the water heater. The recirculation system was inspected, and pressure tests were taken to investigate the current problem and potential future problems. The plumber installed a new temperature and pressure relief valve on the water heater. The repair took two and a quarter hours. The plumber consulted me on the issue before and after, and gave a thorough rendering of the problem, the repair, and recommendations for the future.

After the installation, there were certain rooms that were not getting hot water, it was taking close to 5 min. to even get warm. I called the company back and they sent Scott out to verify that a valve was installed incorrectly. They agreed but wanted me to pay for parts and labor for their mistake.
Description of Work: They installed a new hot water heater after the old one quit working.
