Description of Work: Unclogged sewer drain line from toilets/showers and ran camera to ensure it was all clear. Timely, responsive, extremely reasonable, so clean you wouldn't know they were there, and 30 day guarantee. Will definitely use them again.

Description of Work: We had a aging outdoor sewer line that was still intact, but needed to be replaced before the entire system collapsed from old age. The work involved excavation and pipe bursting technology. It took about a week and a half to complete the work and get everything back together. The workers were clean cut guys, professional, courteous and prompt. The communication between myself and the company was excellent. I would definitely use Jim Dandy in the future if any plumbing needs come up.

Description of Work: They came out and fixed 2 very slow sink drains that 2 other plumbers failed to fix. The other guys wanted to replace the pipe but we have a horrible crawl and that would have been very expensive.

Description of Work: They snaked the bathtub drain in my older home and replaced an odd flapper assembly in a toilet. I would have had a hard time doing either of these, based on the equipment I own and the fact that the tank had to be removed to replace the flapper assembly (I will be looking at those the next time I replace a toilet, for sure)! Very prompt and responsive, but I am surprised at the amount of time that it took to find the proper flapper assembly and wonder if mine was so very strange when it was an American Standard toilet. It seemed like quite a lot of money, but maybe that's what plumbing costs are these days.

Description of Work: Repaired a leak in my tub faucet by replacing the gaskets and stems. Service provider was late for my initial appointment (on a saturday), due to previous job running long and WA-99 being closed. Their office was responsive, and worked with me on rescheduling for that day. The part needed was obscure (PF from the 50's), so they had to come back Monday morning to finish the work. I would have preferred an estimate prior to the work being done, but they fixed the issue that both Beacon and Southwest had stated couldn't be repaired, so all in all I'm pretty happy.

Description of Work: Had a tankless waterheater with a cracked heat transfer wall over New Years. Customer service, the supervisor, and the technician were all extremely professional and polite. Turnaround time on calls/questions were very fast. First visit didn't solve the problem, so supervisor came out next day and gave credit for missed diagnosis on final bill. Cost was okay (had to get a new waterheater), not great/discount, but not exorbitant either. Will definitely use in the future.

Description of Work: I called to schedule a routine side sewer cleaning-- the dispatch person was very professional. Arranged a 2 hour block of time around my schedule. Carl came out to do the service-- also very punctual, very professional. He asked me if I would like to see the video of the sewere line-- I did-- and he showed me the live video of the clean out from my property out into the main street line, told me how many feet he ran out to clean out roots today, and how many feet in the future would very likely be adequate. Totally positive experience, and I've recommended Jim Dandy to other neighbors. Will continue to use Jim Dandy/Carl for future preventive maintenance service.

Description of Work: I had a clog too close to where the side sewer meets the city's main line (about 100 feet out from our house) for them to comfortably try to snake it out. So they had go out by the street and dig six feet down to my pipe, break it open, and then clear out all the build up. They then replaced the pipe. All in all it wasn't as terrible as it could have been, but I was not impressed with their punctuality, or their communication. Basically they will give you a window of time to expect them, however, if they are going to be later than that do not expect a call from them. Furthermore, they are great for emergencies but that means if there is still work at your place they will bump you to get somebody back in service. I think that is great, but a phone call would be even better. Overall, a good company, but if you need constant updates and communication they may not be the company for you.

Description of Work: We scheduled main sewer line rooter cleaning (2 hour window, 1-3 pm). No one showed up for the scheduled appointment or called to let us know of delays. (To their credit, we did get a call at 3:30 pm, but by then we had little faith left they'd keep any appointments, and scheduled a different provider). Because of this, our line remained clogged a day longer - as we refuse the ripoff of afterhours emergency surcharge. The other service provider (Rapid Rooter) charged less, was super-punctual, and - most importantly - got the job done efficiently.

Description of Work: Original call was regarding a leaking valve to the toilet. Upon arrival, Ryan quickly assessed the situation and was able to make the repair quickly. Since there was a one-hour minimum, I was able to run through a punch list of other non-emergency repairs: outside faucets, shower hardware. Ryan was the best!

Description of Work: We had a clogged kitchen drain. The drain was cleared, but it took about twice as long as it should have, because they were unable to remove a cap from an access hole. They adjusted the bill, but I have had the same service done in the past for $75 less and less than half the time. One point in their favor: they came out on a weekend day, and our "regular guy" doesn't do weekends.

Description of Work: A sewer scope by another company found a small disconnect at the junction between our sewer line and the city main. Jim Dandy rep said it did not need to be repaired in the near future necessarily but could get worse in the future. Offered to repair with trenchless method for $9K, which we accepted. Rep seemed confident that this method would be a permanent fix. We did not talk about contingencies. When the crew attempted the repair, it turned out not to be possible to do the repair without digging up the street. Also, in the process of attempting the repair, it became a bigger problem that needed immediate repair (toilet paper started plugging the junction between our pipe and the city main) rather than a small offset between the pipes. Jim Dandy manager wanted to charge us for the work they did (digging hole and placing liner) that did not fix the problem and that had only made it worse, plus the work to repair it. The total would have been $20K. Their view was that our pipe was in worse shape than they'd expected when they went in. We negotiated down to a total of $15K through a stressful process. This is what the repair would have cost if the problem had been diagnosed correctly to begin with. But we might have chosen to live with the offset if we had known the repair would cost $15K. | |I believe the work itself was ultimately done correctly and some of the crews were very professional. One crew left unsafe gaps in the covering of a deep hole in the street, which we covered ourselves with boards. Crews did not always show up when scheduled and did not call to reschedule. | |I would not use this company again. I believe they should have repaired the problem for their estimate of $9K. If you engage this company or another for this kind of repair, I recommend finding out in advance what will happen if the trenchless method fails and what your financial responsibility will be if that happens.
