A1 Plumbing

unknown

They did a great job.

We were gone, but we talked to him on the phone and told him to just drain the basement. When we came home, he was in the process of draining the water. He said that he needed to come back the next day to drop the pump down into the pit. He also said that we needed new pipes because of the way it was draining, which was draining over our septic which we needed it to drain over the front yard. He told me that we were at $677 for the work that he has done. He said that he got a new pump and he also had to buy the tube to get the water out, which we did not authorize it. He said it was out of the box and that we own it now. He left while it was draining and he said he would let it drain over night. He told me to unplug the pump that evening which I did. The next morning, the basement was flooded again. I called him that evening that I did not want to do the piping that he had spoke of. I told him we wanted to think about it. The next morning, I called him and told him that the basement was flooded again, which he was planning to come at 10am that day, but I called him around 7:30am. He said sounds like the pipes froze and he would be out later. He came and brought in the piping that I told him not to do the night before. I only knew this because I heard him drilling through my siding. He gave my husband a bill of $1187.50 and said he would take a cashier check and make it for $1000 even and make it out to him personally not his company for IRS purposes. I told him that I needed to see a detailed invoice and receipts for his purchases before I paid for anything. I told him that I would be willing to pay $800 for this work because we did not authorize the job. He would not accept this offer. We wanted to see what model the pump was to see how much it cost, and when we did, we found that it was an old rusted pump. I confronted him that the pump was old and rusted and he said yes it was from the water that it was sitting in for 24 hours.

He was to show up at 10AM, he did not check in, my wife seen him going from his truck to our down stairs (never having talk to us) with us until he came back at 11:30AM. My wife asked him why he did not knock on the front door, at this point he started saying "I dont F****** need this" (and repeated the "F" bomb to my wife approx 12 times), got back in his truck and left. I came to find out a couple of hours later he called the clinton county sheriff on my wife saying "she threatened him with a gun", this never happenned. I came to find out by the next handyman I hired that he had taken one of the intake parts from the sealed blister pack that came from sears. My handlyman had to go to Kokomo and get the new part that A1 had stolen. Cost me an additional 75.00 due to the additional cost of the trip. I would not hire this guy again if he was the last plumber on earth, and I was thirsty, He has a habit of entering houses like he owns them.....
