Gas leak from flexible tubing required emergency service from PG&E. After shutdown, not able to start water heater, hot solder had dripped onto piezo igniter switch. Masterserve did not respond promptly to urgent calls for replacement of igniter. Result, no hot water for five days.
1) Hot water and cold water were accidentally backwards in the garage. I would think that they'd test this before saying that it's done, so they had to come back and switch it. Shoulda been obvious.
2) The water heater was left tilted at an angle so they had to come back again to fix that and needed to drain the whole tank.
3) I was often told that I would receive a phone call on a certain day and that often didn't happen, so I had to call them many times.
4) The patchwork wasn't completed until 13 days after the repipe because of miscommunications in the company as to who was scheduling the inspections and arranging the patchwork. A couple of times, my contact just forgot about me and admitted this, though apologizing.
The crew was supposed to arrive between 8:30 - 9:30 AM on the day of the repipe. They arrived @ 8:25 AM, immediately did a walk through of the job with me and commenced doing their thing. Their were a couple of roadblocks they ran into for bringing the water from the ground up into the attic compared to what was discussed during the quote and when they brought this to my attention, they also supplied 2-3 alternative solutions that worked out better. They were completed and cleaned up by 2:30 PM and I have better water pressure than I have had in over 3 years.
Hopefully I will not need their services again, but I would definately call Masterserv if the need arises and have recommended the company to two friends so far.
The five man crew arrived on schedule and got to work immediately. Met with supervisor Mark and foreman Jose and reviewed job.
The crew laid down tarps for dirt control (looked good at first, but wasn't that effective. Attic insulation was still tracked in house They did attempt to vacuum everything up.)
Crew didn't have a ladder so they used mine. No big deal.
They all worked really hard and there was no loafing around. Had the walls opened and new pipe laid out and ready to go the first day.They didn't hesitate in working late. Made the ordeal of having to have a re-pipe bearable. It was great to still have water all day and that night.
The crew were very polite and friendly and we enjoyed their presence.
They really appreciated the free lunch we gave them and helped cement our relationship. They all deserved a "Gold Star" for their outstanding work.
The next day layout was completed, old pipe removed and new tied in. New piping was flushed and pressure tested. No leaks.
As a former building inspector, I was very impressed by their professionalism, work ethics and attitude. It's very rare to have someone "do it right the first time".The following day the drywall came and repaired all the walls that had been demo'd. Outstanding job.
Only a few negatives:
Cleanup.
Attic insulation that had been pushed aside was not put back.(still not done)
They also missed some shock absorbers which the building inspector caught. Jose came back the next day and took care of the them. Bathroom exhaust fan had been stepped on and pushed down below the ceiling. Drywall man attempted repairs. OK..
Piping could have been flushed a little longer to get all debris out. Minor.
Overall I am very pleased with the work. Price was a big OUCH!
UPDATE!
It has been several months now and I find the installation was not as great as I thought. Rather than moving the ceiling insulation, they installed the pipes on the roof rafters. Pipe insulation inadequate; water too cold in winter and scalding hot in summer. Don't let them take short cut!
