I’m Scott Riddell, the owner and founder of Riddell Plumbing, Inc. I was born and raised right here in Dallas, Texas. At the age of 19, I started working at a plumbing company. I almost immediately knew this is what I love and live for. In 1987, I started with one truck and my garage. Here we are, 26 years down the road and I am very proud to say my company has grown into one of the largest and best plumbing companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
I give every task my all and I can promise you that you will never receive less than 100% from me or my employees. I still go out in the field every day to check on jobs, meet our customers, and make sure everyone is satisfied with my work ethics. This company was built on a lot of hard work, honesty, and quality. We treat every single job as if it is our own, and we always thrive for perfection, and satisfaction!

Although this company is very courteous and employees are professional, they lack any common sense and will cost you time and money. I have used this company a few times now and this seems to be a consistent issue. The first time, they installed a leak defense system in the middle of my yard and placed a plastic rock on top, which looked obvious and terrible. In addition to paying the initial fee for install, I had to pay an additional $500 for them to come back out and reinstall it against the wall. Today, I had them come install pop-ups for some of my sinks and they didn’t check to see if the pop-ups had all parts before installing so I had to pay for removal of old drain, install of defective new drain and then reinstall of old drain. They offered no apology or discount so I ended up paying for 1.5 hours of work for NOTHING. I would not recommend this company.

The tech determined the toilet needed a new supply line and replaced it. He told me that the lead connection to the sewer line had failed and would have to be jack hammered out and replaced. Riddell would send me an estimate and another crew would have to do that part. He left the toilet disconnected, and charged me $240 to basically replace the supply line. The estimate subsequently came in at $2800 and it would be $950 more if they encountered the concrete beam. I would also have to hire someone to replace the floor tile after they were finished. I got a second estimate from another company to do the repair that the tech described and it came in at $2500. I hired them. When that tech arrived, he said the lead pipe was fine and didn't need to be replaced. He never bad-mouthed Riddell, but I could tell that he was not impressed by their diagnosis of my problem. He and his helper replaced the flange. They also rebuilt the toilet for me, as well as replaced the sink drain, which wouldn't seal. The total bill for 4 hours labor and parts was $836. I was without that toilet four 4 days. By not using Riddell, I was not overcharged for an unnecessary repair. I cannot stress strongly enough that I will never consider Riddell again. I firmly believe their techs are probably on commission and some of them will cheat you.
Description of Work: Toilet leaked. Also rocked due to broken flange

We have contacted the customer to apologize and are refunding his money. We explained that none of our employees work off of commission, they are all paid hourly. Riddell Plumbing is an honest company and would never falsify or up-sell a customer for any reason. This was an honest mis-diagnosis and has opened our eyes. We wish the customer would have called to alert us to this problem before posting the review because we would have handled this the best way possible to insure he was happy, as we always do.

The flapper was changed but it needed a new handle as the old one wouldn't work properly. The tech suggested that I purchase my own and install it rather than have them order it and install. I did but still not 100% satisfied.

The plumber that came made a false diagnosis but when we called later before we had any work done the project manager or whatever said that he diagnosed it wrong so when they came out they didn't do the work that the other one had proposed and then the same individual came out again and he didn't do it right so we had them again and they basically came out two or three times and didn't charge us anything. So they were making up for the mistakes and then when we had them here last the person who came out here took care of business it was fine and he admitted that the plumber that we had last, falsified that he was an actual plumber and he wasn't good at what he was doing. But they made it right so they eventually sent someone who was more capable out here to take care of it.
Description of Work: I use Riddell Plumbing, Inc. for plumbing services. The plumbing wasn't working right in the guest bathroom, it turned out it was a broken pipe underneath the house.

We were getting water in a bathroom sink and it kept raising and sinking almost overflowing and we kept emptying it and then it would overflow again. It turned out that it was the air conditioning condenser line was broken or backed up so they fixed it. We had the on call staff come out on the weekend rush because we weren't sure what was going on so we had to pay a higher price.

They were reasonable priced. They damaged some appliances when they were working here and then they refused to accept responsibility for the damage. I had to go through the Texas state board of plumbers to have it resolved.

Being a Mesquite resident, I like to support local businesses when possible. I have heard great things about Riddell Plumbing, both on Angie's List and through word of mouth referrals. I called Riddell Plumbing to have several leaks corrected in two bathrooms. The service representative stated that my job would require a supervisor to walk the job before work could begin. The service representative took my information and said that someone would contact me. After 3 days, no return call. I called the office again and learned that no service request had been generated. The representative took my information again and said I would receive a call in one business day. After one more week, still no return call. I called in a third time and was told a message would be sent to the supervisor to contact me. Still no return call. After nearly three weeks of waiting, I called another plumbing company who responded the same day and began the repair work. I was hoping to give Riddell Plumbing a shot, but it didn't work out this time.
Description of Work: No service performed.

Perfect - I had received a new cartridge from Grohe (the manufacturer) under their lifetime warranty and the Riddle plumber took the valve apart, replaced the cartridge, and put everything back together exact as it was. There were alot of parts and the plumber got them all back together. Definately not a do it yourself job. Very good job and the guys were great at keeping everything clean.
Description of Work: Replace the cartridge in a single handle shower water control valve.

I felt they were easy to talk with but obviously had a misunderstanding of the work to be performed. I felt I made the scope quite clear and even provided pictures of the existing conditions. When they arrived (different people than the one from the phone call) they took about 2 minutes to tell me it was going to cost 2 times the amount I was originally quoted. I then proceeded to inquire why this was the case. It was then explained that there were things that they were going to do, "above and beyond" what I needed done. Then I said, no, let's just get it done to the basic level and give me a price for that. They re-evaluated and the price didn't really drop dramatically. I was asking why it was so much more than the original quote. It was explained that there were more materials involved. I explained that there were no additional components needed than the original quote and that what they were talking about was a little more, and inexpensive, PVC pipe and perhaps one T. They didn't seem to want to move the price so we all agreed that the work would not be performed.
Description of Work: I received a quote. They later came to the house later. The provided another quote. No work was done.

Thank you to Angie’s List for helping us find the address for this job. Now we have all the information needed to respond to the review. Mr. [Member Name Removed] sent pictures and was given a verbal approximate quote, site unseen, by our dispatcher, who is a licensed plumber, but does not work out in the field. The bid was to replace approximately 14’ of 2” PVC drain to washer drain in crawl space. When we arrived we noticed the entire washer drain above the crawl space was 1-1/2” pipe and was not vented. This pipe needed to be replaced with 2” PVC drain and also install a recessed box with new valves, etc. and to install a vent through the roof or add a studor vent to allow the washer drain to drain properly and to meet local codes. We then went down into the crawl space and noticed the main line cast iron tee where the washer drain tied in was a non-directional tee and needed to be replaced with a combination fitting that has a longer sweep to prevent stoppages. The scope of work needed was more than two times the amount of work quoted by phone originally. I’m sorry for the mis-quote, but this happens often when bidding a job by phone, site unseen. Thanks, Scott Riddell
