My job was scheduled for the day after I called and I was contacted that morning to confirm the plumbers would arrive between 8:30 and 9 a.m., which they did. The work was performed quickly and professionally. I don't care for Zurn's $59 travel charge since it is not applied to the work and an additional fee is charged if you don't have any work performed after receiving an estimate.

Response from Zurn Plumbing Service Inc
WE DO HAVE A $99.00 MINIMUM FOR SERVICE CALLS WHEN NO WORK IS APPROVED. THE REASON FOR THIS CHARGE IS THAT WE HAVE TECHNICIANS THAT ARE IN THE TOP OF THEIR FIELD IN A FULLY STOCKED TRUCK DRIVING TO EACH OF THEIR JOBS. THERE ARE A LOT OF UPFRONT AND HIDDEN COSTS TO PROVIDING A QUALITY PLUMBING SERVICE. OUR SITE VISIT IS INTENDED TO COVER TRAVEL TIME FOR THE TECHNICIAN, AND SOME OF THE FUEL AND TRUCK EXPENSES. THE REASON THAT WE HAVE A MINIMUM IS TO COVER SOME TIME SPENT ON A JOB THAT WE TYPICALLY USE TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND GET THE PRICING TOGETHER FOR THE CLIENT. IF WE ARE TO STAY COMPETITIVE, WE MUST HAVE HIGHLY TRAINED PEOPLE, AND IN ORDER FOR THESE TRAINED PEOPLE TO STAY, THEY MUST BE COMPENSATED FAIRLY. OUR TECHS ARE NOT ON A COMMISSION STRUCTURE, AS SOME OF OUR COMPETITORS DO. WE DO THIS TO PREVENT ANY HARD SELL TACTICS. I HAD HOPED THAT BY EXPLAINING THIS, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE A LITTLE INSIGHT INTO WHY THERE ARE MINIMUMS AND SITE CHARGES, IT UNFORTUNATELY IS A NECESSARY EVIL IN TERMS OF OUR SURVIVAL, BUT WE ARE ESTABLISHED AND PLAN ON BEING HERE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. RESPECTFULLY, MATTHEW ZURN

The three Zurn techs were all very courteous, professional, efficient, and performed their work well. The same description can be given for the tile crew and the sheetrock crew. Overall, I was very pleased with the job; notwithstanding, the fact that it was the most expensive plumbing problem that I have ever experienced. The total cost was around $2500, not including the paint work, which still must be done.
Description of Work: I had a major drain leak in the upstairs shower stall which was completely tiled in. The water was staining the kitchen ceiling under the shower drain. The first tech that came out to diagnose the problem had to cut a hole in the sheet rock in order to fully determine what was causing the leak. The problem was with the seal between the drain and the shower pan (which is under the tile). The second crew came out later and spent an entire day tearing out the shower tile, the old shower pan, the old drain pipe and replacing everything except the tile and the sheetrock. Zurn does not perform tile work or sheet rock repair, but did have some recommended individuals that do that type work.

Sean came out the first evening and gave us the estimate and while he was there he fixed the leaking shower head that was part of the overall shower problem upstairs. Mark arranged for the utilities to be marked and set our appointment. Paul and his crew came as promised early in the morning and began work immediately. It was an all day affair but they worked diligently and cleaned up afterward.
Description of Work: They installed a new copper water line from the street into our slab home; installed new bib; fixed an outside spigot; and repaired the master shower drain.

Making an appointment was easy and friendly. Paul was the plumber who arrived a little late due to morning traffic. He tested the bathtub and laundry machine for leaks and then opened the ceiling of the garage. He provided explanations and an estimate. I agreed on the estimate and the rest of operations was done in 60 min. Here is the break down of costs: Remove sheetrock $71.5, diagnosis check for leak $65, replace 3/4 water pipe $185.30, site visit $59 minus Angie's coupon $20 total $362.80. Site was cleaned and debris removed. Paul was friendly and effective. I find the costs rather expensive (e.g. removing sheetrock), but the company's good reputation was confirmed and it was quickly done.
Description of Work: On the ceiling of the garage a black spot had appeared and was humid. After removing the sheetrock, it appeared that there was a small leak on the soldering of a corner of copper pipe leading to the laundry machine on the 2nd floor. After increasing the opening in the sheetrock, the corner was changed and a new soldering placed. The opening in the sheetrock will have to be closed by another company.

Zurn Plumbing showed up on time and went right to work to determine why our sewerage ejector pump was not working. Once they got the old pump out, they recommended that it be replaced with a new one. They quoted a price to do this and came back the next day with the new pump and completed the work. The quoted price of approximately $700 for furnishing and installing the pump included everything, including both visits to our house. We were very pleased with every aspect of the job.

Very efficiently. The service rep first looked both in the kitchen and in the basement. He tried to clear it with a snake down the drain but the blockage wouldn't budge so he had to replace part of the drain pipe in my basement. Reduced charges so I didn't get fully charged for the time he spent trying the drain snake.

Response from Zurn Plumbing Service Inc
AFTER MEETING WITH THIS CLIENT TWICE ABOUT REPLACING SOME FIXTURES IN HIS BATHROOM, I TRIED TO CONTACT HIM AND DID NOT GET A RETURN CALL. TWO WEEKS AFTER I WENT TO HIS HOME, HE CALLED THE OFFICE UPSET THAT NO ONE HAD CONTACTED HIM - EVEN THOUGH WE HAD LEFT A MESSAGE/VOICEMAIL FOR HIM. HE SENT AN E-MAIL, AND WE RESPONDED BY APOLOGIZING THAT HE HADN'T GOTTEN OUR MESSAGE, AND WE ATTACHED A PROPOSAL AT THAT TIME FOR HIM TO LOOK AT. NO WORK WAS EVER SCHEDULED, BECAUSE THAT IS DONE ONLY AFTER A CLIENT APPROVES THE CONTRACTED PRICE. WE DON'T REPEATEDLY CALL SOMEONE IF OUR CALL IS NOT RETURNED, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO BE PUSHY WITH CLIENTS. WE APOLOGIZE THAT WE COULDN'T MEET THIS GENTLEMAN’S EXPECTATIONS FOR THE WORK HE WANTED TO HAVE DONE. BEST WISHES, MATTHEW ZURN

Zurn was very responsive. The leak occurred late Sunday night and while they couldn't come out until Monday they arranged to see me early Monday morning. They waved the diagnostic fee because the leak was easily identified. Replaced the leaking portion of the water line with copper in about 45 mins.

Their ads promise free estimates on "large jobs" and the dispatcher made no mention of a cost for the estimate. Nevertheless, my wife was forced to pay a "visit" fee. The visiting plumber also seemed to be pushing his services somewhat aggressively. We chose a different plumber.

I emailed Zurn Plumbing on a Tuesday night because my kitchen sink was clogged and no amount of Liquid Plumber would clear the pipe. The very pleasant dispatcher called me on Wednesday morning to say that he could send someone out on Thursday. The plumber called 30 minutes in advance of his visit, arrived, and diagnosed the problem: a clogged and corroded cast iron pipe. We made arrangements for him to return on Monday with a helper to complete the job. On Monday, the plumber called 30 minutes in advance, and came and completed the job in about 4 hours. All debris was removed, and the space was left clean. The dispatcher called afterwards to check my satisfaction with the job. All is well, the kitchen sink is back in business.
Description of Work: Replaced an 80 year old, 30 foot cast iron sink drain pipe in the basement crawl space.
