Response from WICKERSHEIM & SONS
The first technician was there performing other work she had requested. At the end of the job, she asked the technician to look at the shower as a favor to see what could be done. The technician removed the trim so the cartridge was visibly accessible. We did not pull the cartridge for fear of damaging it more without having a new cartridge there to back us up. This specific cartridge was not one that our supply house carries, but it is one that Home Depot carries. The technician explained to the customer in order for us to investigate and search for the replacement part, we would need to remove the cartridge and go to Home Depot. The customer was also informed that the technician would be charging for all his time to do so which she then said she did not want to pay for. That's when she stated she would order the cartridge herself. All my technician did was remove the trim so the cartridge was visible. Never once did we tell her what part number to order because we did not know ourselves. The second technician then arrived once she called us back. This is when we found out the part she ordered was wrong. She paid our guy the service fee he requested, then proceeded to call the office to complain and stated she would just simply cancel the check when she was informed there was no refund.

I had a cracked main sewer pipe that was causing a leak. They were able to correctly diagnose the problem and the location behind the walls. They advised me that I could save a lot of money if I opened the walls myself or had a handyman do it. I did as they advised and they were able to remove the cast iron pipe from a very tight location and replace it with a PVC pipe. They gave me a quote prior to starting the job and charged me what they quoted even though I signed a release saying that the job could cost more. I have used them before and was not disappointed. Their prices are very fair and the quality of work is excellent.

He pumped out the basement (not easy because there was no electric!) and replaced a hot water heater and sump pump. The price was not unreasonable given the emergency circumstances.

They spent a lot of time trying to identify the problem and then recommended very expensive diagnostic procedures that would not actually fix anything. We instead called another plumber who solved the whole situation in about a half hour for under $200. I called Wickersheim and Sons and demanded that they return my service call fee, which they did.
Description of Work: We had water coming up in our basement toilet, backing up from the sewer line occasionally.

Our Furnace broke the day after Christmas 2010. Wickesheim was not my first call, in fact I called several, but due to the Holiday no one could help. Scott Wickersheim showed up one hour after I called. Gave me an estimate and latter supplied space heaters. The Furnace arrived in two days and intalled two days latter. The guys did a great job the area was cleaner than before they started.

drain cleaning

We had three drains to be cleaned out. The first problem happened in the kitchen sink when the repair man broke the pipe he was snaking out. He replaced that pipe at no cost and asked me not to report it to the company. The next problem was he broke the drain pipe for the shower. This went undetected until I stepped into a flood in my basement that evening. I tried to contact them that evening but there wasn't anyone available to speak with so I left a message. The return call came the next day and I explained what happened and I was told "It's not our fault, the pipes must have been old. If you want someone to come out and fix the pipe it will be $135.00 per hour, for emergency service." I was very upset by this so I told them no thank you. Two days later after I had another plumber fix the drain pipe, I received another call from Wickersheim Plumbing. The person I spoke with was one of the owners, and he said there was a message left on there machine. I told him that I had already spoken to someone at his company, and that I didn't feel that I should have to pay for them to come out and fix the problem. I told him that the repairman they sent out broke two pipes and this wasn't my fault and that I wasn't going to pay for an "Emergency Call" to repair them. I also told him I hired another plumber who already fixed the problem. He said "why did you do that" when I tried to explain once again why, HE HUNG UP ON ME!!!! Needless to say, "I WILL NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN, AND I TELL EVERYONE I KNOW THAT IS LOOKING FOR A PLUMBER ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE AS TOO! They were very unprofessional in my opinion on how they handled my plumbing repair.
Description of Work: We had several drains cleaned out.

They came in gave an estimate, the job needed to be complete, there was leaking happening. They fixed within 3 hours. not problems, paid and they left. The second situation, for the pipe in my basement. They saw there was hole and said they would need to replace the whole pipe, not true a portion could have been replaced. Did not use because of the overall price of the estimate. Shop around there are cheaper and HVAC people out there they won't take advantage of you.
Description of Work: Changed out a part for heating unit in my home. Extremely expensive! Also, got an estimate for a pipe to be replaced they estimated a price of over $1000.00 without labor included, I got it done for $60.00. Talk about ripping people off when you need heat in your home.

1. Estimates are on par with other licensed plumbers, i.e. twice as high as a handiman's work.2. Clogged drain was very tough - the technician spent 1.5 hrs fighting thru. It was finally done, but cost me much more than I expected. Thus it's hard to give them the highest grade, which I would otherwise do.
