It went very well. I called Scotto's with a plumbing emergency (unable to flush toilet) and they responded in a very timely manner. Tony was personable, had all the right tools on his vehicle, and seemed to do all the right things.
Description of Work: Tony dug and found the underground access to determine on which side of pipe the obstruction was. He removed the toilet, found and removed root growth. He installed new/missing base the toilet assembly sits on. He made sure the nearby shower drain was free of obstructions. He attached a standpipe to outdoor underground access.

This happened on Memorial day weekend. I called three different plumbers and Scotto's Plumbing was the first to respond. Justin arrived at the promised time. He quickly assessed the situation and gave me a written proposal. The $98.00 surcharge for holiday/weekend/evening service seemed reasonable. The work was efficiently performed in a professional manner. Justin represented Scotto's well. I was pleased and satisfied with the work.
Description of Work: Restored water service to my home after an accidental disruption.

They are professional, courteous, and give a great price. When they were finished they cleaned up the large mess in the bathroom. They are prompt and concerned about problems you have. They always do a great job and I have been with them 5 years or so and will continue use them in future.

Vinnie arrived on time and fixed the leaky toilet. He also checked my water meter because I was concerned about increased usage on my bill. In addition, he checked the rest of the plumbing in the house and the outside bibs to be sure there were no leaks. Outstanding service.

See above story. It ended well with no leaks, and no damage of any significance done. The plumber was very apologetic and nice.
Description of Work: They installed our new water heater and three months later; the hot water outlet started leaking. The phone contact tried to stall us for a two day period, then finally agreed to send someone the same day. The installer was the same man who had installed it to begin with. Resoldering of a joint was done. One week later it leaked again at the same place. The soldered section was removed and replaced. It is still working without leaking three months later.

Originally, we scheduled the appt. for water around the base of a toilet (we thought the wax seal had gone). But the technician inspected it and felt the seal was fine and didn't want us to pay $200 just to pull the toilet to find out. Instead he tightened 3 bolts that were loose on the tank, and placed dye in the water to check. He was right! The leak came from jarring of the tank...not the wax seal. So we directed him to another problem on the list, the softener drain.

water heater repair

Everything went smoothly. It took about 3.5 hours, an hour more than the estimate, without a change in price ($675 tank, plus $49 visit charge, less $15 Angie's discount). Harry protected our floors before changing out the tanks and left the work area spotless. So far, a week after the installation, everything is working well.
Description of Work: A day after I called in, field rep Harry came out to check my (slowly) leaking, circa 1994, 40 gallon electric water heater. We talked about going to a propane-fired tank-less model, but it would have been expensive and somewhat difficult to install, so I decided to replace the existing tank with a similar one. The next day Harry returned and replaced the water heater with a new 40 gal. electric model. Harry admitted that I could probably find someone else to do the job cheaper, but I liked Scotto's promptness, candor, and professionalism, and I didn't mind paying a little more for convenience and peace of mind.

The tech he sent out was nice, but the work wasn't as neat as it could have been and they had missed a spot where there should have been caulking. I called and had them come back out, which they did and fixed it to my liking. I also signed a plumbing contract with them.

This was the third time I used Scotto's Plumbing. I had two drains that were getting progressively worse. The plunger and Draino were no longer working. I called Scotto's on Saturday night and I got (I believe) the owner right away, who set up an appointment for first thing Monday morning. The technician, Patrick, came on time. He was professional, pleasant, and courteous. He explained, through use of his sketches, how, why, and where the drains get blocked up. He gave me some preventative maintenance tips and cleared our two drains that were clogged with hair and hardened soap scum. He also looked at my other sinks and faucets in the guest bath, kitchen, and laundry area to ensure they were in working order. The technician also told me the about the benefits of a water softener and gave me an estimate for a water softener. The price for unclogging the drains was more than I expected but the service is always outstanding.
Description of Work: Cleared two clogged drains in master bathroom (the shower drain and drain in the sink).

I had a water leak from a pipe somewhere outside in my yard. I called Scotto's Plumbing. It took a few days before anybody could come out. The day before my appointment it rained all day and night. It continued to rain extremely hard on the day of appointment. When the person from Scotto's arrived I told him he obviously could not do anything with the rain pouring down and the ground soaked. He agreed he could not. I did explain the problem and he told me it soundled like I needed a brand new system. I asked him how much and he stated at least $1,200. I told him I had a leak and just wanted that fixed. He then stated they would have to dig up the whole yard to determine where the leak was coming from. I told him I did not want that and he stated the only other option would be to have a company ''they'' work with and they could determine where the leak was without tearing up the yard. I asked how much that was and he stated at least $300.00 and possibly more. I told him no thanks!
Description of Work: No work performed. I needed a water pipe leak fixed. They came out days later in the pouring rain, admitting there was nothing they could do until it dried out. They then had the gaul to say it was going to be $49.00 service charge!

Response from Scotto Plumbing Services Inc
FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO SAY EVERY CUSTOMER IS TOLD WE HAVE A $49.00 TRIP CHARGE TO COME OUT TO THERE HOUSE, THEN THE TECHNICIAN WILL EVALUATE THE JOB AND GIVE YOU A COST OF THE REPAIR. SECONDLY IF WE TOOK SO LONG TO GET THERE WHY IS PUNCTUALITY RATED A? I ALSO FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THE PLUMBER SAID $300.00 OR MORE FOR LEAK DETECTION THE COST IS A FLAT $269.00 NO MORE OR NO LESS. I HAVE THE DATE OF 12/26/2006 THE CALL WAS BOOKED. WE WERE CLOSED FOR CHRISTMAS DAY. FROM WHAT I GATHER SEE WAS QUOTED A PRICE TO REPLACE WATER SERVICE OR LEAK DETECTION AND OPTED NEITHER. PLUS REFUSED TO SIGN THE WORK ORDER AND REFUSED TO PAY FOR TRIP CHARGE.

They were very courteous about coming out for the emergency. I was given the emergency price and the minimum charge for drain line clean out by telephone. Patrick arrived in a bit over two hours as promised. He was very informative, helpful, and knowledgeable. The charge was exactly as quoted MINUS an Angie's List discount!
