Description of Work: Plumber was on time. Service was adequate, not over the top. But the pricing schedule is crazy. I suppose all plumbing companies with a franchise may have similar fees, but I'd advise anyone to get a smaller local plumber.

Description of Work: They added a pressure reducer to the water line and drained the system to clear the water hammer problem. Problem was still there when done but the tech said that they would need to cur into the wall and ceiling to tighten the pipes at an additional cost and they do not do or cover the wall repair. This would be an additional service call and cost.

Response from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. When we encounter high PSI in water lines, our first course of action is to install a pressure reducing valve. Not only is this a good solution for the water hammering problem, but it is also a recommended solution to maintain the integrity of the pipes with lower water pressure. When a pressure reducing valve does not completely solve the problem, the next step is arresters which are actual attachments to the pipes themselves. This is a service that we provide, but it does involve opening up walls and ceilings to access the troublesome pipes. While we do provide the arresters as plumbers, we are not drywall contractors and so we leave that portion of the job up to the customer for contracting. We can recommend drywall contractors who we have worked with but we do not do the job ourselves. I apologize if there was any misunderstanding regarding the above details of the call. We do thank you for your review and for your business.
