"Sure glad we could help you out!"
"Thanks [Member Name Removed]"
A week past by and I did not hear a word from Josh. I called and and emailed him. In response I receivfed a terse email "Lots of rain. Will do it next week."
Called until I reached him. He said he would get it done "End of this week or defintely next week."
Two weeks passed. No word from Josh. No job performed.Called and left message and sendt email about when he would get the job done. Asked him to call me. Sends an email that the excavator wants $3,500 "cash in advance" to drop his other jobs and do the work.
That was it. Did not want to do business anymore with Josh and A1. Asked Josh for the film of his original filming so I could give it to another service. He said he did not save it and copuld not provide it.
Finally, he had his "friend" the excavator call me. This particular person seemed oblivious to how serious the drain problem was. Said he had only known Josh a few months. Generally, claimed to be unaware of the severity of the problem. Also said the $800 was a starting point and that it could get a lot more pricey depending what he found. Thought the cost would be closer to $1,600 -2,0000.
I called another plumbing service and excavator. In less than 48 hours after I first talked with them, they were able to clear the line with a more powerful snake. Plumbing and drains etc work fine.
Their film indicated that, yes, pipes are slightly offset -- will fix that in the spring with a different excavator.
"I[removed member name], is a very dishonest man. It rained for two weeks. We don't dig in the rain. He was very pushy from the get go. I told him pipe wasnt connected right. I see he says that. I got the sewer working and he knows that. He's just talking to hear himself complain... he was so embarrassed because I was right. I do great honest work.. Come to find out he found out I was right! His post should be removed"
"You have the wrong business. I'm 4 hours away from where you're located."
"Glad we could help you out."
