"First, I want to say that TMI seems to have grown professionally since I last dealt with them in 2012.  I'm just getting started using Angie's List and so posted a review from my past work which wasn't favorable to them for the bad service I received at the time.

However, after speaking to them they did a great job of making it right by even reimbursing me (3 years later!) for the overcharges, sent me an apology letter, and apologized profusely over the phone.  While I previously would have never done business with them again, I think we'll give them another try in the future in our next bids for work on our rental properties.

Thank you TMI for being professional, following up on even an old issue, and for making it right.  It means a lot to the wife and I.

For those curious, my previous review is below.

ORIGINAL REVIEW FROM 2012 SERVICE WORK:

My bathtub had a leak where the faucet is and so I removed it. However, there was some kind of nut inside the wall that I couldn't get off easily and so I thought I should call a plumber to do it so that I don't brake it. | |The plumber came in, didn't smile or put booties on, looked at it... took out a pretty large pipe, twisted it off, and replaced the new faucet with one I already bought. | |Took him literally 15 minutes or less. Know how much he charged me for such a simple job? $300. That guy just made $20 a MINUTE or $1200 an HOUR from me. | |I complained to the company and all they said is, "It costs what it costs" and refused to refund me any part of the costs. | |I will NEVER do business with TMI, Inc. ever again. |I've spoken to at least 2 former employees of theirs who now work for other local plumbers (that I do trust) and they said TMI was terrible to their customers and very shady. | |AVOID THEM AT ALL COST - RUN!"

"I had a wonderful experience with Five Star Bath Solutions! From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. The owner Nathan was extremely helpful, professional and followed through with everything he said including start time and completion of work to get done. Rob did the work, and he did an absolutely amazing job. He was friendly, knowledgeable,respectful, detailed, and clearly takes pride in his work. The finished result looks beautiful, and everything was completed with great care and quality. I would highly recommend Five Star Bath Solutions to anyone looking for excellent service and a job done right!"

"Jake and his team did an amazing job on installing our floors. We’re renovating our home and had our master bedroom/closet switched from carpet to laminate floors. The team was professional, answered all our questions, and completed the job as planned. They did such an amazing job that they’re also going to do the kitchen backsplash and plumbing once the countertops come in. I’m really happy with everything thus far and look forward to working with Jake and his team in the upcoming weeks. I highly recommend Picture Perfect for any of your renovation needs."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Building codes don’t allow homeowners or businesses to run sewer pipes and water lines in the same trench for safety and environmental purposes. If the sewer line started leaking, it would risk contaminating the water supply to your house, which threatens the health of you and your family. These lines need to be in separate trenches and may need to be separated both horizontally by around 5 to 10 or more feet and vertically by 12 to 18 or more inches.

Most jurisdictions legally require a backflow preventer on your drip irrigation system. Even if you live in a place with less strict laws, installing one is a great idea. If you’re planning to use fertilizers or other chemical additives in your garden, a backflow preventer helps ensure those substances stay outside of your home’s water supply. Depending on the complexity of your irrigation system, you may be able to install one for under $100.

Yes, you can use flexible pipe for a sink drain. Flexible pipes can make it easier to fit sink plumbing together with less measuring and fewer cuts. However, corrugated flexible pipe can trap hair, grease, and food particles in the folds and cause foul odors and eventually build up enough to clog the drain. Smooth pipes are recommended for sink drains and plumbing.

Whether an earthquake gas shut-off valve is required depends on your location and circumstances. Certain cities, states, and even insurance providers mandate them, especially in areas with high seismic activity. In California, for example, while laws vary by county, most jurisdictions require a valve to be installed in newly constructed homes or when a home is sold or renovated. The Los Angeles Municipal Code specifically requires a licensed contractor for installation. Even if not required by law, installing a seismic shut-off valve is a wise safety measure. These devices automatically cut off the flow of gas during an earthquake, which can prevent gas leaks, fires, and explosions. It is recommended to check with your local building department for specific laws regarding installation, permitting, and inspections, and to ensure the valve you install is on your city's list of approved models.

You should flush your water heater at least once a year, with some experts recommending a schedule of every six to 12 months (e.g., once in the spring and fall). The ideal frequency depends on several factors.

If your area has hard water with high mineral concentrations, you should flush the heater more often—typically every four to six months. Additionally, a water heater that is used frequently may require more frequent flushing than one that is used less often.

Regular flushing is important because it removes sediment buildup from the bottom of the tank. This maintenance helps improve the heater's efficiency, extend its lifespan, and prevent issues like clogs, overheating, and increased energy consumption. You can either learn to perform this task yourself or arrange for a service plan with a professional plumber.
