"Donald Rogerson responded very quickly, analyzed the photos I sent him, knew exactly what to bring, and provided a very reasonable quote over the phone. He reassured me from the start, and took control of the situation with the utmost professionalism and clear communication. His work was impeccable, and he even insisted on cleaning up. I heartily recommend him, not only for water heater issues, but for any indoor plumbing need. He will certainly be my plumber from now on."
"I had an excellent experience with Rooter Pro Plumbing GA for a water leak detection. Technician Jay was prompt, professional, and incredibly skilled. He quickly identified the source of the leak, preventing further damage, and provided an economical solution that didn’t compromise quality. Jay took the time to clearly explain the issue and walked me through the options, ensuring I felt informed and confident in the repair process. His courteous demeanor and efficiency made the entire experience stress-free. If you need reliable and affordable plumbing services, I highly recommend Rooter Pro Plumbing GA—ask for Jay!"

"When I requested an estimate, Joe called me back on Sunday and personally came out on Tuesday. Communication and Customer Service was excellent. Zack and JJ arrived on time assessed the job and started demoing. Had a few issues, due to the fact the building is over 50 years old and not level, but they got the job done. Worked hard, cleaned up and were excellent. I would recommend 50 Plumbers to everyone. ."

"The Insallers Xavier and Joseph make a wonderful team. They were so polite and pleasant to work with. I'm getting a second bathtub replaced next Fri and have requested Xavier and Joseph for my 2nd Install. They were very careful and precise with their work. My 1963 year old bathroom looks amazing because of them. I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Jacuzzi Bathroom Remodeling Company. They really care about Customer Service."
"called several companies on 6/23/2014 , and Moncrief was the first one that could send someone out "as soon as possible in the afternoon". Not an issue since that was the response from every other company. Technician arrived on time, was very professional and quickly found and fixed the problem. Unfortunately, I didn't explicitly tell him to review any repairs with me prior to making them. I was charged a $95 diagnostic fee and $130 to replace a $15 capacitor. $225 for 45 minutes of labor and $15 of parts. Overall a good experience, but I would not have agreed to $130 service charge for a capacitor replacement.
Update to Provider response 7/1/2014
***DISCLAIMER*** To anyone reading this review. I AM qualified to change a capacitor, the average user should not attempt to make any repair with a capacitor or any other device of this type as it can cause serious injury and death when done incorrectly.
I have no complaints with the technician, he was competent and professional and did a great job.
In response to your pricing explanation, that's great. I understand. We all need to do what we need to do to cover the cost of doing business. I don't feel like anything was not a fair or honest price. I don't feel like it's out of line with the market cost. Bottom line, I don't care. Your overhead of doing business to stay in business is not my problem. I agreed to pay $95 for a diagnostic fee to find out what was wrong with the unit. I would not have agreed to an additional $130 to replace a capacitor had I been asked before the work was done. Once the work was done, I paid the bill and I'm not asking for a refund or anything else for many of the reasons you outline.
Had I known it was the blower motor capacitor, I would have gladly accepted absorbing the 90 minutes to drive to one of the Industrial Supply stores in Atlanta that I have an account to purchase a new capacitor the next day because I'm cheap like that. The unit had been out for almost 3 days at that point and the other unit was picking up the slack pretty well.
However, I didn't have to drive anywhere or wait for shipping because I ALREADY HAD THE CAPACITOR. I bought it when I had to replace the capacitor on the outside unit 2 years ago and I wanted one on hand when the inside unit went. I also know it wasn't bad out of the box, because I tested the capacitance and discharge in the store with a Fluke 113 multimeter before I took possession of said box. It was located in a drawer less than 15 feet from your tech. Given the opportunity, that's $34 I didn't need to spend.
I would have most likely taken the chance on making the repair myself, as replacing the capacitor is not one of the more difficult tasks involved. Make sure the power is off at the breaker, do that special thing that must be done to make capacitors safe, disconnect the leads, remove old capacitor, put in new capacitor, reconnect leads and so on.
While I appreciate the time you spent to write this review and the personal note that I received in the mail, I hope this helps you understand the reason for my dissatisfaction."
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.
Most people choose PVC, or polyvinyl chloride/plastic, for their sewer line material. PVS has many advantages over other types of pipes. Mainly, PVC can resist corrosion and chemical damage, is lightweight (making it easier to install), is budget-friendly, and has an impressive life span (typically around 100 years).
The type of sealant you use on a leaking pipe will depend on the pipe material and the cause of the leak. PVC P-traps should avoid petroleum-based sealants, which can degrade the plastic and worsen the leak. Pipe sealant is specifically designed for use on pipes, but remember—if your P-trap has a crack–it’s best to replace the pipe to avoid future leaks.
A shower diverter and a shower valve serve different functions, though some modern models combine them into a single unit. A shower diverter is a specific type of valve that directs the flow of water between different fixtures, such as from a tub spout to a showerhead or handheld sprayer. In contrast, a shower valve (often called a mixing valve) controls the water temperature and turns the shower on and off. A shower system can have both a diverter valve and a mixing valve to manage its functions.
The most common places for water leaks in a home are the fixtures we use most often: the kitchen and bathroom sinks, the showerhead, and the toilet. These components all contain moving parts and O-rings that prevent water from flowing through when the fixtures are shut off, and these can wear down over time and lead to minor drips or significant leaks. You can sometimes employ a DIY solution to replace aerators or faucet O-rings that could be causing the leak, but it’s usually best to call in a professional for a permanent fix.
