Abraham The Plumber

He did work for me when he worked for Mr. Rooter I had his cell so I called him with another plumbing problem a leak under my house the main drain pipe. I have a discount with Mr. Rooter to my surprise Abraham The Plumber comes driving up (took him five days from first call) not Mr. Rooter! I told about my discount with Mr. Rooter and he said, ?I?ll take care of you.? He was with a school buddy of his that was his co-worker. He goes under the house for inspection. He comes back tells me he has to dig the main sewer line and put in new piping and hook up to the main line cost estimate $1200.00. $600 for him $600 for his buddy do the math. What Abraham didn?t know I was already was under the house and the main T-line had the hole in it plus it was clogged and had a slow drain the pipe was installed in the 1950.s. I told him no thank you. He was making up work that didn?t need to be done. Called Mr. Rooter job cost $400.00 dollars. Beware!

I believe I am to only one who has offered a review of this plumber and wanted to update subscribers. Since Mr. Abraham's work was completed, I've had to call out yet another plumber twice for the mistakes Abraham made. He did a hurried job that wasn't readily apparent and has cost us yet again. It appears that he did not check all the plumbing in the house. When he set the toilet, he didn't put a new wax ring down nor clean the wax from the old to make it seal properly. The "new" pedestal sink that he installed was not properly fitted for pipe length nor properly installed to the floor and just moves freely when touched. It leaks. Should you choose to hire this guy, think twice. I did all the proper research and on paper he looked good, but.... buyer beware!

From the first, he was positive and courteous and he does know what he is talking about. However, during the course of the job, we found out that he does most of his work for a builder of new homes and that seemed to take precedence. After a few weeks and the supposed sewer lines installed, the tub (now the only thing connected) was still draining slow. He said he knew about it and the he promised that before he was done, everything would be fixed. I had a hole on the side of my house for over a month and he had taken down the fence in order to gain access to this. It was very had to schedule with him and close to the end of the job, he asked for more money for the drainage/sewer issue, which was the reason I hired him in the first place. He did provide signed quotes, although not specific, and receipts, and he is a licensed master plumber. Supposedly the job is now complete, hover my fence is still on the ground and one of the posts he put back up can be pushed over. As no one is currently living in the house, it his hard to tell if we will have problems in the future. Some of his work was undesirable and he had to be called back to do it right. For instance, he installed new pipes in the laundry room for the washer, however, the pipes did not fit within the studs and a new wall would have had to be made to contain them properly, as they extended over an inch from where the drywall would have been. In the end, he was a bit pricey and we don't really feel that we got what we paid for in service, professionalism, or timely responses.
