WHEN THEY FIXED IT THE PROBLEM WAS WORSE. THEY CAME OUT AGAIN AND THERE WAS STILL A PROBLEM. THE GUY WHO CAME OUT THE FIRST TIME SAID HE HAD REPLACED THE FLAPPER BUT IT WAS NEVER REPLACED. WHEN SOMETHING WENT WRONG I WOULD CALL I STILL HAD TO WAIT TWO DAYS FOR THEM TO COME OUT AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM.

THIS IS THE SECOND SERVICE CALL FROM THIS COMPANY. BOTH WERE POSITIVE EXPERIENCES. THE PROMPTNESS WAS PHENOMENAL. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS AN INITIAL DELAY BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THIS WAS ANOTHER AMERICAN HOME SHIELD CALL AND WERE WAITING FOR CONFIRMATION. IT WAS NOT. ONCE I CLEARED THAT UP, THEY SHOWED UP PROMPTLY, FOUND THE HIDDEN SHUT OFF VALVES AND REPLACED THE BROKEN PIPES.
Description of Work: PIPES TO A SINK IN UNHEATED GARAGE FROZE AND BURST JAN 24, 2003. THIS WAS A DAY ALL PLUMBING COMPANIES WERE SWAMPED WITH CALLS. THEY ADVERTISE 60 MINUTE SERVICE AND CAME CLOSE TO IT.

HE WAS VERY GOOD AND FIXED THE PROBLEM! FOUR PLUMBERS HAD ALREADY BEEN OUT TO LOOK FOR OUR LEAK , AND EVEN THE ORIGINAL PLUMBER THAT INSTALLED THE PLUMBING COULDNT FIND THE LEAK. OUR HOME WARRANTY, AMERICAN SHIELD, SENT OUT RESCUE ROOTER AND HE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB AND GOT IT REPAIRED! HE FOUND THE LEAK AND DID AN AWESOME JOB!

THIS IS THE WORST PLUMBING COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH...PERIOD! NOT ONLY DID THEY INSTALL THE WRONG PART TWICE, IT ULTIMATELY RESULTED IN ME HIRING ANOTHER COMPANY (DRAIN OPENERS) TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, THEY WERE COMPLETELY LACKING IN PROFESSIONALISM. THEY WERE DIRTY, MADE MY HOME DIRTY AND EVEN SOILED MY CARPET. THEY COMPLETELY RUINED BOTH HANDLES ON THE FACET USING A MONKEY WRENCH ON CHROME AND SCRATCHING THE SURFACE BEYOND RECOGNITION. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT LIABLE. THEY DID NOT EVEN APOLOGIZE. TO TOP IT OFF, IT ALSO WAS APPARENT THAT THE WORKER WASN''T VERY CLEAN, HIMSELF. I WOULD NOT WELCOME THEM INTO MY HOME, EVEN IF THEY PAID ME!

SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT MORE THAN A WEEK IN ADVANCE. PLUMBER DID NOT MEET TWO HOUR WINDOW. I CALLED AND SAID HE WAS BUSY ON ANOTHER ASSIGNMENT. WAS ON HOLD A LOT WHEN TALKING WITH THEIR SERVICE CENTER. PLUMBER MADE A COUPLE TRIPS TO OBTAIN PARTS AS WELL AS TOOLS HE NEEDED. PLUMBING WORKMANSHIP WAS GOOD. HOWEVER, HE SAID THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HOLES THEYD HAVE TO CUT IN DRYWALL OR SHOWER STALL. DID NOT TOTALLY CLEAN UP WHEN FINISHED. HE DID NOT CHARGE FOR THE ENTIRE TIME HE WAS HERE.

THEY ADVERTISE 60 MINUTE SERVICE - IT TOOK 3 HOURS FOR THE TECH TO ARRIVE. WHEN HE LEFT HE SAID IF I WAS UNABLE TO FINISH THE FAUCET REPLACEMENT TO HAVE HIM PAGED AND HE''D COME BACK. I HAD TO CALL SOMEONE ELSE WHEN THEY REFUSED (AT 6 PM) TO GUARANTEE THAT ANYONE WOULD BE THERE BEFORE NOON TOMORROW.
Description of Work: I CALLED THEM TO FIND A LEAK IN THE BATHTUB PLUMBING. WE COULD NOT DETERMINE WHERE THE LINK WAS COMING FROM. I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN TO REMOVE THE FAUCET HANDLES SO I COULD REPLACE THEM MYSELF. WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR, THEY WOULDN''T SEND ANYONE UNTIL TOMORROW. WITH ALL WATER SHUT OFF, THIS WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE FROM A COMPANY THAT ADVERTISES ALWAYS AVAILABLE.

NOTICED ONE DAY THAT ONE OF THE DRAINS WAS LEAKING, THEY CAME OUT NEXT DAY IN TIME FRAME THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO, SNAKED EVERYTHING OUT FOR MEMBER. WAS NOT SURE IF THERE WAS A FURTHER PROBLEM, TOLD HER TO WAIT ON THE SITUATION. HAD TO CALL COMPANY BACK BECAUSE IT STARTED LEAKING AGAIN, THE SECOND TIME THEY CAME OUT THEY SNAKED FROM THE STREET INSTEAD OF HOUSE AND SHOWED HER A BROKEN PIPE, BUT TOLD HER SHE STILL WOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE PIPE IMMEDIATELY. THE SECOND TIME SHE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEM, SHE TOLD THEM TO CALL HER CELL PHONE BEFORE THEY WERE COMING AND SHE HAD TO HURRY AND GET UP, BUT HALF AN HOUR LATER HE WAS STILL NOT THERE. THE WOMAN SHE TALKED TO WAS NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE COMPANY BECAME CONDESCENDING, BUT FINALLY APOLOGIZED FOR WHAT HAD HAPPENED. IS NOW USING SOMEONE ELSE, BUT FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS GOOD.
