Response from Hedlund Plumbing
I'm sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with our service performed back in January 2021. We (along with most service based companies) do have a minimum fee for an initial inspection and 15-minutes of labor, which is actually $129 and not $135 like you mentioned. This is especially common for many minor calls that can be repaired quickly. Our technician spent 15-20 minutes trying to get the tub drain apart but it was corroded in place and as he mentioned at the time if we went further with the repair we ran the risk of more damage that could have made the tub drain inoperable. He left a quote for a complete tub drain assembly replacement which would be the next step for a permanent solution. As the technician would have also mentioned at the time of service, if you chose to have the drain replaced the $129 min. fee would have applied towards the quoted drain price. We would absolutely love to be able to take care of minor service issues for free but unfortunately due to the costs of traveling around town with fully stocked service vans that simply is not possible. We do appreciate the feedback and opportunity to explain our min. fees further.

Donnie was great! He quickly diagnosed the issue, which was quite an esoteric problem, and fixed it. We were not charged for the visit, although we would've been very happy to pay for his time.

Thanks for the input for the repair made yesterday. I am getting more information on what happened with the coupon and we will reach out to you today. From what I'm seeing on the paperwork turned in, we should have been able to take that coupon without an issue. Something got crossed in the communication on our end, but we'll make things right.

One of our two 40 gallon gas water heaters went out. We requested a senior service technician to assess options for replacement: two smaller water heaters, one larger water heater, or hot water on demand. The technician was knowledgeable and gave us all the options, and we selected the single heater. They told us all the steps, let us know when the water and electricity were being turned off, and kept the house clean on a messy day. They discovered that our sump pump was malfunctioning and replaced that, too. We purchased our own kitchen faucet, and they installed it. Not an inexpensive set of repairs, but the team was very responsive and professional.

I cleared the clog myself by breaking through wall from backside, a completely different approach but one that I could do myself.

The Plumber attempted to unclog the toilet by snaking but couldn't clear the clog. He then went back to his truck to get a larger snake, but still couldn't clear the clog. He then removed the toilet and attempted again to snake the line, but he couldn't maneuver the snake line through the pipes. I thought this to be rather odd because I have had other plumbers snake the same toilet with no difficulty. He finally gave up this approach after 45 minutes or better of failure. He decided to go down to the basement and work on the sewer drain cleanout. After beating on the nut on the sewer drain cleanout cover for a number of minutes to loosen it, he was successful. Boy was he successful!! Sewerage shot out of that 3" or 4" pipe like a water cannon and spewed it 5 feet in a 180-degree radius. He was covered with it a ****** off. I thought "what an idiot!", of course, that will be under pressure. He finished snaking the line, came upstairs, replaced the stool and presented me a bill for $565. Let me back up a minute. I received 3 quotes for this job. Hedlund quoted me $120- $275. The plumber tried to bill me $135 for removing and replacing the toilet, $265 for snaking, $150 for running a camera and $15 for a new cap to the sewer drain cleanout. I knew he was ****** off and trying to take it out on my pocketbook. After speaking with the home office, I agreed to $350. After he left, the basement was still spattered with sewerage, my bathroom was trashed and I had to wash the floor and walls where he was leaning, and my front area rug had to be cleaned because he had sewerage all over his "protective" booties and the wheels of the snake.

Response from Hedlund Plumbing
Thank you for taking the time yesterday to discuss these issues you experienced. It is appreciated because without any feedback, good or bad, it's difficult to improve on the experience our customers have for our plumbing services. As a company we do try our best to give some general pricing ahead of time so customers have some sort of an idea on costs, but of course what we are hearing on the phone and what we might run into with the reality of the job could be two different things. This is the main reason that 90% of the service companies will not ever quote any pricing until they are on site, but I feel we have made some corrections with our customer service team on the phones that can prevent the pricing discrepancy you experienced. We covered the reasons for why the technician did what he did and the reasons for each step, but in a nutshell this was an absolute worse case scenario for drain cleaning, and one many companies would have walked away from before it got too bad...perhaps we should have also but out goal is to get drains open without 'walking away' and leaving a customer hanging. There is no doubt we could have handled things differently along the way, and the issues you experienced (similar to the initial phone call) will be covered as a service team to look at ways we can avoid issues and problems if we were to ever get into the same situation. Again, that you for the feedback and I have no doubts we will be able to offer out customers a much better service experience as a result.

The technician arrived quickly and did a great job at a good price. The clog had caused the kitchen and bathroom to back drain into the bathtub, making a gross mess. The technician snaked the plug and even cleaned out the tub after . I would definitely call them again if needed

I called and said I needed a new water heater. I asked if someone could come out and give me an estimate for a 40 gallon one installed. Michelle that answered the phone said she could give me a price over the phone. I said ok and that was a mistake on my part. She quoted me a price for that included the water heater installed and the necessary township permit. Also she gave me the price of new venting for the heater, if it was needed. I agreed to the price and she said they could be out in two days. The installation went well, the guys were courteous and professional, but when Brian gave me the bill, all was not ok. The bill was for twice what I was quoted on the phone two days earlier. My mistake was not getting the price in writing before the work was done. To me this all was a bait and switch. My advice is if you hire this company, GET the price for what is to be done IN writing before any work is performed.

We have always been a company that tries to always be professional, have high quality technicians, and treat our customers as if they were family. This also means we are up front & honest about the job at hand to give our customers an idea of the price ahead of time, especially for the types of jobs we do on a regular basis (such as a water heater install like this one). We are also one of the few companies in town that does not have an issue quoting at least a minimum price to a customer over the phone ahead of time, in order to at least give them an idea of whether it's closer to $100 or $1000 for a particular job. If our minimum is completely out of their budget then they can keep calling around and it saves everyone sometime. We have no issue with that at all. Now we need to discuss what actually happened vs. the inaccurate description in this review. I can absolutely guarantee there was no 'bait & switch' going on with the pricing for this water heater replacement. We have not and will NEVER do that sort of thing to our customers, and there would be no possible way we would be in business for 79 years by that practice. We do have a standard minimum charge for a water heater, which was in fact quoted by our office staff to the customer up front before coming out. We install on average 7-10 of these same heaters every week so we have a pretty good idea what is needed for the install, unless of course there are code issues and other piping needs at the same time. We are also a company that stands behind our work and will be the first to stand up and take the blame if we make a mistake. In this case, I absolutely will not apologize for a customer that did not hear us correctly over the initial phone call or was confused about the work at hand. In fact during our discussion about the price over the phone after the install the customer even admitted he might have written down the wrong info or been confused. The procedure we follow for every phone call has served us well for a very long time but we have no control over a customer who insists we told him a completely unrealistic and incredibly low figure for the complete job. I feel that by stepping up an offering a substantial discount at the time of install went above and beyond what we should have done but was the best way to resolve the customers confusion on this particular job. All this being said, I always do appreciate the input and review from our customers,and we will be reviewing this situation as a team during our next service meeting to discuss ways to avoid any future customer confusion.

Called around 11 AM and was scheduled for next morning. But got rescheduled for 1:30 same day I called, after a cancellation. So that was good because we couldn't use our sink. Plumber not only did a great job replacing what needed replacing, but explained what was being done and how to prevent drain problems in future. Very personable. Also saved $35 off total bill with Angie's List coupon. Overall, good experience.

We had a new kitchen sink drain line installed to accommodate a deep under mount sink, as well as a 75-gallon power-vent water heater and new drain lines under a laundry sink. The Great: Tom Hedlund, whom I spoke to a few times in advance to our service, was very responsive and helpful. I also can't speak highly enough about the plumbers who came out and completed the service. Adam and Donnie were everything one would hope for from service providers: Timely, courteous, friendly, worked efficiently, did quality, neat work and tested it upon completion, provided useful information, and cleaned up when they were done. My husband and I are pretty particular, and we feel confident that they did a great job! The Could-Be-Better: Our first interaction with Hedlund was a different pair of their plumbers who came out to provide an estimate on work. We did this because we didn't want any surprises in terms of expense, or the extent of work. The plumbers who came out for the estimate were friendly, but apparently not good at details. Most of the information they provided was wrong, including the fact that 1) our drain lines didn't need re-routing (despite my questioning them on that); and 2) that our water heater is natural gas (in fact, it is LP, but they never asked and never noted it). The only reason we didn't have a couple of nasty surprises on the service day is because I questioned these two items beforehand, so was able to resolve the details over the phone, and they were able to change the water heater order before it was too late. In summary, the work we received from Hedlund was excellent, but the guys who provided an estimate need to work on their attention to detail.

I want to first say thank you for the detailed and in my opinion very accurate review of the recent work we performed. We really appreciate this opportunity to help out with the sink and water heater. Also, thanks for your understanding about the initial confusion on the sink drain. We used this opportunity in a recent service meeting to go over more specifics in what to look for on the drains and also our attention to detail, no matter how straightforward the job may seem, so it was a great teaching tool as to why it's so important to cover every minor thing on the initial visit so there are no surprises later on for the installation. It turned out to be a great discussion on those important steps. Again...thank you for your understanding.

The new water heated was the same size and type (natural vent). Also, the original water heater had been installed to code, so the replacement was very straight-forward. I called, and they were here in less than 1 hour. The price did not break done the separate costs (ie water heater, labor, and materials), but was simply a total of $ 1290. The price did include the building permit from the county. They also had a $ 50 coupon on-line that I used, so that helped with the cost. The price was a little more than I had anticipated, but when I called another company they said it could be $1900 to $ 2500, so I went with Hedlund. The plumber was on-time, and very professional. Everything went well, and he was done in about 2 1/2 hours. I would likely use them again, but I would also check around to verify the price is reasonable.
