Called Paul after company the home warranty chose couldn't confirm same day service. Paul responded within an hour after our call to come out. He arrived and assessed the sitaution and explained clearly to me and my wife what was needed. he then went and got the needed parts and fixed the problem and tested the solution before he left. He also provided us with the contact to a restoration company to help us deal with the water on our hardwood floors
Description of Work: Paul assessed the problem based on our explaination and told us he needed to replace the hot and cold water connectors and shut-off valves. He went and got the needed parts and we had our water back on and running with no leaks within 2.5 hours when the company our home warranty company contacted couldn't garuntee same day service. He was a life saver!!

Jessie arrived about 10 minutes after I called in the order. He gave me an estimate of $97, but said there is a $20 coupon in the telephone book yellow pages. I gave him the coupon. It took him about 20 minutes to install a new fill valve that I supplied. He said that the problem was probably caused by hard water. The toilet works fine now.
Description of Work: I called this morning for some plumbing help. I had a toilet that was slow to flush and refill.

Thank you for your response. The fact is that the actual part of our service was hardly worth what we charged. But, with the overhead it costs us about $65.00 on average just to dispatch the plumber to a single call. Thanks for your business!

They were excellent! The supervisor was very concerned. They did a good job. They had to call in the city to inspect it before they recovered the sewer line. They were very professional. We were very pleased. I will definitely use them in the future.

Very courteous and professional worker. The timeliness was very poor. Did not have the service for nearly 3 hours after time range given. The lack of punctuality was not the worker's fault it was a system problem. I have used AAA Auger in the past and they were very timely according to time range given. I will use the company again and I do recommend them for their expertise.

AAA Auger responded immediately and was professional, courteous and quickly resolved the problem. Their plumber also recommended the restoration company. FirstCall Restoration's representative (Richard Lewis) was there very soon, even before the plumber left. He was professional, courteous and very responsive to our situation. Their estimate was below our insurance deductible and FirstCall quoted us a cash price of $1200. My husband and I felt the price was very reasonable. I checked the reputation of FirstCall on Angie's List. There was only one report at the time but it was favorable and the plumbing company also highly recommended their work and service. The work performed by the company and its contractors was exceptional and we would highly recommend this company to anyone needing restoration work due to water, fire, smoke, etc. Everyone we dealt with within the company including Patrick McGrath, the owner was professional, courteous, and service oriented. The contractor, Mr. Gilbert Salazar, did outstanding work in repairing and restoring the ceiling area of the kitchen following FirstCall's technicians preparing the area with antifungal/antimicrobial product and thoroughly drying the areas affected. We are very happy with the results and happy to recommend AA Auger Plumbing and FirstCall Restoration.
Description of Work: We had water damage to our kitchen ceiling area due to a faulty shower head cartridge and inadequate caulking around our master tub/shower. We contacted AAA Auger Plumbing for emergency response. They responded quickly and replaced the cartridge thus stopping the leak, but there was significant damage to the kitchen ceiling below. AAA Auger plumbing recommended and called FirstCall Restoration for us. We found AAA Auger in the phone book but I checked them out on Angie's list before calling them.

It went great! Please read description above.
Description of Work: I stopped receiving hot water two days ago. I called the company on a Saturday morning and ask them to verify that I had purchased my hot water heater from them (I didn't recall and could not locate the paper work). They verified that they had indeed installed the unit in 2007. I was told a serviceperson would be out within the next hour or two. Within one hour, there was a verification call that he/she was on the way, but was having difficulty locating the street. Ray arrived, determined that it was only an unlit pilot, and took care of it instantaneously. Ray also took the time to show me how to do so myself should the need arise in the future. He also explained that the company no longer sells my brand of water heater, but told me to contact them when I need service and they will locate the parts, etc. He then did not charge me for this very brief and simple service. What an unexpected surprise!

In May, our sewer line backed up again. Connections were not done properly by AAA. Would not recommend them. Expensive and performed inadequate work.
Description of Work: AAA Auger replaced 3/4 of our sewer line w/pvc line six years ago. Sewer line was backing up into a bathtub. AAA came out w/camera and found tree roots penetrating clay sewer line and recommended replacing the majority of line w/pvc. Said we would not have problems for 50 years.

When I scheduled the service call, I explained the situation in detail; however, when the service person arrived, they immediately explained that they could not work with the granite countertop. The person in the office was ignorant of what their service personnel were qualified to do. The service person at my home gave me an estimate for repairing the plumbing and replacing the disposal, if needed. He was friendly and professional, but in the end, we found someone who could repair the plumbing for much cheaper. (AAA Auger's estimate was $300, but we found someone to do the work for $185.) We used AAA Auger in Austin when our hot water heater sprung a leak and were pleased with their work, so we will likely call them again for future plumbing work.
Description of Work: Requested a free estimate for reattaching our undermount kitchen sink to our granite countertop (the adhesive had failed and the sink dropped) and repairing a cracked pipe that resulted from the sink falling.

They did a great job. I have had somebody else do other lines and they had done a crappy job. They had even left a mess of my driveway. However, Auger, I will definitely call the again. I was very happy and they came in and did their job. They did not take forever to finish the work. I am very pleased and I have not had any other problems. Somebody gave me their name after I have had two bad experiences earlier. They were worth the money I paid them. I wish I had used them in the first place. I like them a lot. They are located very far and they drove all the way to help me. They were very good and were on time. They called me what they were here. They did what they said they were going to do. I would tell others that they know what to do and their father has been in this business for 30 years. They are very honest people. They will tell you exactly what you need. They don?t take you for a round and are very straight forward. They even told me that if they did to do the job right they will come back and do it right. I dealt mainly with these guys and I was very pleased with them. If I have any other plumbing problem, I will only call them.
Description of Work: We used AAA (Triple A) Auger a year ago to reroute the water lines and turn off certain lines that were broken under the house. They dug up but could not get the lines so they had to reroute. My driveway had to be dug up and the water lines as well.

The year before I only paid $125 for the same service. That's some inflation. Anyway, when these guys got done with their service, they reneged on their contract. They said couldn't give us the usual guarantee because of the age of the house. It would of been nice of them to tell us that before they performed the service. Then the plumber went on about a $1500 quote to replace the entire waste line. No thanks. We won't be using these thieves again.

AAA gave me an estimate of $ 6,000 to tunnel under the house and repair it. I subsequently found another company that did the service for $4,500 they had to tunnel about 17 feet. AAA was very nice and arrived on time etc. However the price for service was way too high

Response from AAA AUGER Plumbing Services
AAA AUGER ran 3/8 cable in 2" line and attempted to clear blockage in drain line on 12/27/2010. Our plumbers use a price menu guide when bidding each job. The price menu states a price of $157.50 to run 3/8 drain cleaning machine. After we were unable to clear line because of defect in line our plumbing tech then offered to use run camera in order to locate defect. Our menu book price is $175 ( add on price ) to run the camera. We completed both task for $287.50 not $332.50 as suggested by our menu guide. A defect was located about 15ft under the home. Now when bidding a tunnel job there are many factors to consider to include permits, condition of existing pipe, labor, any other variables and material needed. AAA's plumbing tech uses his price menu to bid each job. In this case it seems that another plumbing company was able to give the member a better price to complete the tunnel job and repair. I can only assume it was completed by a licensed plumber, done correctly, up to plumbing code, inspected and that they gave a warranty that they will honor if needed.

Sewer water was backing up into the house. So they augered from a clean-out valve, but had to go more than the 100ft they typically do. As a result, they weren't exactly sure where the clog was. They got their auger stuck, so told me I would have to pay for the cost of digging up the line and cutting the auger free. While it was dug up, might as well install another clean-out valve to make it easier for next time. They couldn't tell where exactly to dig, though. Turns out the problem location was just off the property line and therefor the city's responsibility, but I still got tagged with the cost of augering, digging up the line and installing the clean-out. They did provide a pro-bono fiber optical camera inspection of the line and said it looked good.
Description of Work: The augered 120ft of pipe from the house's clean-out valve to the city's sewer main. Then the installed another clean-out valve and marked where the city needed to do their work.

I had a leak so called him to fix it. He told me he needed to make a hole in my wall to fix the leak. He made a large hole and couldn't find the leak so he made another one. After he couldn't find the leak with the second hole, I had to tell him just to stop because he was literally just putting holes in my wall. He gave me a number for someone else to come fix the holes in the wall because he said that he wouldn't fix them himself. After that I was so frustrated I ended up calling another company. I had to pay $127 for them to put holes in my wall and not repair them.

I have seen the bad "press" that this company has received from this site but I called them again because they have always given me excellent service. They did not let me down. Don't believe everything you read!
Description of Work: Reuben has come to my house to fix a leak from my upstairs toilet ($1305.5) in June, and he unclogged my bathtub ($125.50 using a $12.00 coupon) today. For the clogged drain, using another company cost $173.00. After fixing the leak upstairs the pipe around the one he fixed started leaking and Reuben came right away and fixed the second leak without charging me. Reuben has always been extremely courteous and professional and he arrived in an hour after I called the company. Reuben also left the chemicals that he used with me so I could use them to keep my drains free.
