I contacted Plumco for a second opinion. As well as had the city of Independence check it out. Plumco found where the issue was and cut out the cast iron and clay transition and replaced with femco bands, 4"pvc pipe and fittings. Installed new clean out for easier access in the future. When finished, line draining was very good. Backfilled and cleaned area. Also added curb riser to get it up to grade. My total cost was 1023.65. Instead of AB MAY- 7111.00
Description of Work: Ran camera and discovered root intrusion from home to near main connection. Driveway sinking along entire sewer route. Gave option to maintain line with cabling. Also gave option to replace line with trenchless method from inside the garage to the end of the driveway. Informed me that do not include landscaping, nor driveway replacement.I would have to pay for the additional cost after they tore it up. All new piping includes a lifetime transferrable warranty. Their cost to me would be 7051.00 plus the 60.00 warranty contract.

Response from A.B. May Heating, A/C, Plumbing & Electrical
After reviewing the customer’s account, we did present them with a diagnostic that indicated the entire line was infested with roots. Our proposal was to use a trenchless technique to provide a more permanent solution to their drainage issue. The trenchless method is more expensive; however, it reduces the amount of damage that is done to the customer’s lawn and property. Plumco offered the customer a spot replacement which is a less expensive solution, but may not take care of the problem in the long run. The root infestation will continue to grow and cause blockages in other areas of the customer’s pipe over time. Unfortunately, the technician that presented the proposal is no longer with AB May, so we are unable to confirm if he offered the short-term spot replacement option, or if he only presented the option that would resolve the issue for long term. We want to make certain that our customers are taken care of and that we are giving them the best options for their homes to keep them running smoothly and repair free for the years to come. If both options were not presented to the customer, we greatly apologize. We want each of our customers to feel confident about the decisions they are making with regard to the repair or replacement that we are doing. It is also our responsibility to give them options and to educate them about the work that will be done.

What I like about them was that they did not push me to buy a new one. They were pretty honest, prompt and very professional.
Description of Work: They came to find out why my heater was not working and they found out that it needed a new filter. So it was diagnostic and filter change.

They have a package that you can buy and when you have to have your whole yard dug up, and your pipes replaced, you get 20% off -that saves you thousands of dollars. We live in an older home and we have had no trouble with the plumbing. Since we found them and heard about the package, we decided to buy it every year and it has saved us a lot of money over the years. We use them once or twice a month. We are slowly but surely replacing every inch of plumbing in the house. We have replaced two toilets and we have had our stacks replaced. We have replaced taps on the kitchen sink and a leak in the shower worked on. They are my shining stars.
Description of Work: I use AB May for everything.

We called the A. B. May company upon returning home to the problem of water in the garage from sewage overflow since they were one of the companies that provided emergency plumbing services. The personon duty that night. that answered the phone was very courteous and told us that the plumber would call us within 45 minutes and that if we didn't get a all from him in that time, we should call her back. The call from Joseph Dilorio, the plumber on duty that night, came ten minutes later and he said he would not be able to make it before 11:30 or midnight so he could either come then or schedule us for first thing in the morning. We scheduled his visit for the midnight time frame and received a call from Joseph at about 11:00 p.m. stating that he was on his way and would be at the house in about an hour since he was coming from Kansas City. Forty-five minutes later he was at the front door. He stood back from the door after ringing the door bell so that he was clearly visible in the light from the porch light before I opened the door. He was neatly dressed in work clothes that had the company ID sewed on the front in large, clearly visible letters to identify him as an A. B. May employee. He had a very professional manner. He put on shoe covers since he walked through the house to the basement. He gave me the estimate for the basic service that he thought would be needed plus an estimate for additional services that might be needed. He immediately went to work while explaining to me what he thought was the problem. He successfully found the clog in the main drain line to the street and cleared it. After he had cleared the clog, he thoroughly cleaned up the area around the access port where some water had gotten on the floor. He used a "green" cleaning agent that he said was safe for pets. He left his work area in a cleaner condition than it was when he arrived. The costs required were only for the basic services/ He recommended that I have a video inspection of the line performed to see if there were issues with the line. An hour after he arrived the problem was fixed and he was on his way. It was a pleasure to have such a competent, pleasant plumber do the work and I would highly recommend A.B. May and particularly Joseph Dilorio to anyone needing plumbing services. I will certainly use them again, if needed.
Description of Work: Cleared a backed up main sewer line that was discovered on our return home at 9 p.m.

They were professional, timely, and helpful. We were getting ready to leave on vacation, I wanted them to come out before vacation so they only had a week to give us an estimate and install it, and they did it. They were very good and we're very happy with the product. We got three bids and they were the best bid. We have a home warranty with them now too.

We plan to use them back. It is just an extension of our home warranty is how we got to them. They were fast. They came in and got the job done in lesser than an hour. They were kind of looking out for from a cost perspective and we have some other issue and so they made a couple of suggestions that were cost efficient and nice.

This review is strictly for the installation service as contractor to Home Depot. Once the installer arrived everything went like clockwork. I believe they were just running behind that day with volume of work. It's only been a few days but so far so good. As the contract installer they didn't attempt to sell me more than what I needed. I"m not sure if that would have been the case under the A.B. May umbrella alone. All in all the install went well without incident.
Description of Work: AB May was the contract installer for a Home Depot H2O heater.
