TWO MEN TOOK TWO HOURS TO REPLACE THE SUMP PUMP. FIRST, I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT TWO MEN (INSTEAD OF ONE) WERE SENT FOR THIS TYPE OF JOB (THUS, I HAD TO PAY FOR BOTH). SECOND, I THINK THEY TOOK TOO MUCH TIME, ESPECIALLY FOR TWO MEN. THIRD, I CALLED TARVIN AT 6:00 A.M. WITH A FLOODING BASEMENT. A PLUMBER CALLED BACK AT 6:30 A.M. HE OBTAINED DIRECTIONS TO MY HOUSE AND I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT HE WOULD BE OUT BY 8:30 A.M. AS A RESULT, I CANCELLED ANOTHER PLUMBER THAT TOLD ME HE COULD GET TO ME BY LATE MORNING. AT 8:30 A.M., I RECEIVED A CALL FROM A DISPATCHER TELLING ME THAT A PLUMBER WOULD BE OUT BY 2:30 P.M. AND THAT I MUST HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD THE FIRST PLUMBER. IF I DID, WHY DID HE GET DETAILED DIRECTIONS TO MY HOUSE AND TALK ABOUT DRIVING THROUGH THE MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC?

THE PLUMBER SEARCHED FOR THE SOURCE OF WATER DRIPPING FROM SECOND FLOOR TO FIRST FLOOR, HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE WATER WAS NOT LEAKING AT THE TIME OF THE PLUMBERS VISIT, HE WAS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE THE SOURCE. I DECIDED TO WAIT UNTIL THE LEAK STARTED AGAIN BEFORE HAVING HIM BEING TO TEAR INTO THE WALL. THE PLUMBER WAS VERY COURTEOUS AND TRIED VERY HARD TO LOCATE THE LEAK. HE COVERED ALL WORK AREAS AND CLEANED UP AFTERWARDS.

HAD TO PAY TRAVEL EXPENSE OF $75 EVEN IF THEY DID WORK DUE TO DISTANCE THEY HAD TO TRAVEL. DO NOT DO AN ESTIMATE BASED ON INSPECTION OF WORK, THEREFORE, NO REAL WAY TO COMPARE. ALSO, DO NOT WORK WITH PVC, ONLY COPPER, WHICH ADDS TO EXPENSE.

TARVIN PLUMBING HAD TO SPECIAL ORDER OUR WATER HEATER, AS WE NEEDED A SHORT MODEL. THEY WERE VERY ACCURATE IN THE ESTIMATE OF TIME IT WOULD TAKE TO GET THE SPECIAL ORDER IN TO THEIR OFFICE. THE WORKMAN SHOWED UP RIGHT ON THE DOT OF WHEN HE ESTIMATED HE WOULD BE AT OUR HOUSE. HE CLEANED UP THE WORK AREA SO THAT WHEN I CAME HOME FROM WORK, THERE WAS NO MESS AND LOTS OF HOT WATER. TARVIN PLUMBING IS WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY AS THEY ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL. I''VE HAD NOTHING BUT EXCELLENT SERVICE FROM THEM IN ALL THE CALLS THEY''VE MADE TO OUR HOME.

THE PLUMBER THEY SENT DID NOT HAVE HIS REGULAR TRUCK AND THUS DID NOT HAVE ALL THE PARTS HE NEEDED. I HAD TO HAVE THEM COME BACK TO REPLACE A PART HE WAS MISSING, BUT THOUGHT I DID NOT NEED. HE ALSO, LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY JOB TO HELP SOMEONE ELSE. HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND THAT I HAD TO GO TO WORK AND WAS WAITING FOR HIM TO COMPLETE THE WORK AT MY HOUSE. HE ALSO CHARGED ME FOR BOTH TRAVEL TIME TO AND FROM MY HOME BECAUSE I WAS FIRST AND LAST SITE OF THE DAY. THEY WERE VERY RECEPTIVE TO MY QUESTIONS AND COMPLAINTS, AND FIXED EVERYTHING TO MY COMPLETE SATISFACTION.

THE SERVICEMAN WAS VERY POLITE AND WOULD LISTEN TO MY CONCERNS REGARDING A FAUCET. HE ASSUMED WHAT WAS WRONG WAS ONE THING BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS ANOTHER AND HE LISTENED AND DECIDED I WAS RIGHT (I WAS AND ALREADY HAD THE PART). HE WAS VERY CAREFUL (A LITTLE ON THE SLOW SIDE). I ALSO FELT THE TIME CHARGED WAS ROUNDED UP TOO MUCH.
