I am happy now that the builder and the city inspector got to see the truth.
Description of Work: If they have Jay on the site working; you might as well do the work yourself. I had a respectable backflow inspector come out to inspect my year old backflow and it failed. With that I contacted my builder and he sent out Jay from Jim Bennett's Plumbing who stated he tested it and it was not failing. So I suggested he contact the city and have them come out and reverse the failing. He stated no way would the city come out to test it. They don't do that. Well, I called the city and they do. Guess what, it still failed. So I called the owner of the building company who had Jim Bennett's crew and the inspector go out and check it and it failed a third time. Jay is a crook and on top of all this he wanted to charge me $200 to fix a warranty issue. Don't let them near your pipes. Now I have to have a new plumber come out and check the other issues Jay swears is normal. This guy was going to pass my backflow and then I would have had to pay out of my pocket the next year to fix it.

Response from Jim Bennett's Plumbing, Inc.
This customer was never satisfied with any thing that was done on their house. From the contractor to the plumbing, he had a problem with everything. As for being a crook, how can you say that when there was no charge of any kind. I fixed the back flow with inspector there and tested it for a third time at no charge. This is not Hawaii or the military. If I'm such crook why would your wife have me in your home and hug me like a great friend!

They took care of the problem. They did a good job. This guy had the snake thing which he used and it worked like a charm. What we had done was a specialized thing and I don?t think too many people have it. They were more expensive that what I thought it would be. I will recommend them to others.
Description of Work: We used Jim Bennett's Plumbing a year ago. We had a blocked drain line and they used roto-rooter to clear that.

Only reason I am still using this company is due to the fact the work is under my new home warranty. Not sure why everyone here raves about this company, but we have had two occassions where they promised to show and didn't even have the respect to call for the no show. Not sure who certifies these guys, but when we had shower sprays installed on the shower they had no clue how to put it in properly nor had they seen how the spray should work. Even after showing them photos of how it should look afterwards, they argued with us for weeks on the pressure. Finally they fixed it and we were able to say "I told you so". Now I have been waiting two weeks since they last showed up and left my bathtube excess drain jaked up and shower spray barely flowing. They promised a part they needed would be in over the next 3-5 days and they would be back. Haven't had a single call back since. I will never use them outside my warrenty nor for any future jobs elsewhere. There is no honor to their word nor pride in their work.
Description of Work: Shower body sprays lost proper pressure and bath tub fixtures loose or broken.

These guys are awesome!! We had a kitchen sink back up with a house full of company 2 days before Christmas and they arrived in less than an hour and cleaned the line all the way to the septic tank. The sink works great and a major issue was averted.

The problem was a cracked toilet extension flange that was installed two years ago by the same company. When the plumber finished his work, he said, "The problem was that the plumber that installed the flange didn't use the right part and didn't do the work properly." I pointed out that Jim Bennett's Plumbing had installed the flange in the first place. But, two weeks later, the problem appears to be fixed, so I can't complain about this service call. But in retrospect, the problem was caused by a plumber dispatched by the same firm.
Description of Work: Jim Bennett's Plumbing was dispatched by our home warranty service, American Home Shield. That's the reason for the low price (it was the deductible charged by the warranty service). The problem was a leak from a broken toilet flange. My rating reflects both services. It would have been "excellent" on this call, but "poor" on the one that caused the problem in the first place.

My husband was out of town, and I was at home with my 21-month-old son, my dog and my cat. I went downstairs on a Monday morning and discovered soapy, smelly water covering about 1/3 of my basement's floor. With a young one in the house, I needed the problem fixed quickly in order to prevent health problems. Jim Bennett's Plumbing had good reviews on Angie's List, so I called them to explain my situation. They were very honest and explained that it could be a backed up sewer line, which could cost about $120, or a bigger problem that could cost $2000 - $9000. They scheduled services for 4:00 p.m. that day. I left work about two hours early in order to meet the plumber, but he was running very late. Scheduling mishaps occur, and there is no controlling time lags. I just wish someone had called to tell me they were running behind schedule that day. That's my biggest complaint. A tropical storm was slowly coming into town that evening, and it was 6:00 p.m. and dark when the plumber arrived at my house. My son was very irritable that night, I was unable to help the plumber find my sewer outlet, and it was pouring rain outside. He couldn't have been nicer or more professional. He found the problem and cleaned out the sewer line. Luckily, it was a relatively easy fix. They charged me $135, $15 more than their original quote, but I didn't mind. I was very impressed that their plumber worked well past his usual schedule to uphold his promise to come out that day.
Description of Work: Sewer line was backed up, causing flooding in my basement utility room/bathroom. Jim Bennett's Plumbing cleaned out the sewer line.

Washing machine drain line became blocked and water was backing up into a garage sink. Turned out that small roots had grown into the drain line where it had broken previously, and had been repaired about 10 years ago. I had run a garden hose with a pressure nozzle into the line in an attempt to clear it, but the roots of course wouldn't budge. Fortunately, Eric, the plumber on call had a long 1/2 inch diameter wound steel snake and a power rotator, and once he got that set up it worked like a charm. It tangled all the roots up and broke them off inside the drain pipe so they could be removed with the snake. He then had me run the washer so he could see how well the washer expelled the rinse water (15-20 gallons or so). It was great to see that none of the water backed up at all this time around after several years of dealing with this gradually worsening problem. Sometimes ya just gotta bite the bullet and let the pros do the heavy lifting. Thanks Eric and Jim Bennett!
Description of Work: Washing machine drain line had become blocked and water was backing up into the garage every time a load was washed. Over time (several years), the wash and rinse water was taking longer and longer to drain out.

Mom's washing machine drain was plugged up. I called Bennett, they came promptly as promised, got the job done quickly, and billed me for later payment (as I requested). Good pricing for the work performed, no problems.
Description of Work: Prompt response, professional quality work, good price for the work done, willing to bill for later payment. Work was performed on my mother's house, but paid for by me - this was no problem for them.
