PLUMBER DID NOT USE SHOWER DRAIN CLEAN OUT. RAN SNAKE THROUGH TUB DRAIN. APPEARED TO BE CLEAR AFTER SHORT WATER TEST. AFTER PLUMBER LEFT, A MORE EXTENSIVE WATER TEST SHOWED DRAIN TO STILL BE CLOGGED. PLUMBER RETURNED. COULD NOT GET CLEAN-OUT OPEN. HAD TO BORROW MY TOOLS TO GET THE CAP OFF. EQUIPMENT (SNAKE) BROKE, HAD TO WAIT FOR REPLACEMENT. CLEARED DRAIN AND REPLACED CLEAN OUT CAP DESTROYED IN THE PROCESS. NOTICED LEAK IN UPSTAIRS TUB DRAIN. SAID HE WOULD FIX. DID NOT HAVE PARTS SO TRIED TO SEAL WITH EPOXY. SAID TO CALL BACK IF SEAL DID NOT WORK AND HE WOULD COME BACK WITH RIGHT PART AND FIX IT. CALLED TO SAY IT WAS STILL LEAKING. WAS TOLD HE WOULD BE GIVEN THE MESSAGE. DID NOT RECEIVE A RETURN CALL.

THEY DIDNT KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING ABOUT INSTALLAING A NEW TUB. WE ASKED IF THEY KNEW HOW TO DO IT, THEY SAID YES, BUT NEITHER OF THEM HAD EVER DONE A TUB INSTALL. WE HAD TO WALK THEM THROUGH THE PROCESS. WERE NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE PRICE SINCE THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME ASKING OTHER PEOPLE WHAT TO DO ON THE PHONE.
Description of Work: FIX PLUMBING OF NEW TOILET AFTER NEW FLOOR INSTALL. THEY DID A GOOD JOB HERE. THEN THEY DID THE PLUMBING IN BATHROOM TO PUT IN A NEW BATHTUB.
