I discovered the leaks on Sunday. I called the company's 24 hour emergency number and a technician called back within a few minutes. He explained what I could do to take care of things until Monday and avoid paying high overtime charges. The next day when I called the office to schedule repair work, the technician had already told them to expect my call. They scheduled me for that morning!! The plumber who came was very polite, efficient and even cleaned up after himself. He had to replace several feet of the copper tubing and did so very quickly. He had to cut away some of the drywall which left a mess. But he left things even more clean than before he started(this is the basement after all).
Description of Work: The plumber had to replace copper tubing in my basement. The tubing had developed several pinhole leaks.

I was very impressed with my experience with Stang Plumbing. A plumber and helper arrived on time and were very polite. They even put little booties on over their work boots to protect my carpeting. I went over the items I needed fixed, as had been discussed when I was given the estimate. They made sure to let me know when they were turning the water on and off. They explained what they had done, and showed it to me as well. They also cleaned up after themselves. The final cost was in-line with the estimate. Overall, they were incredibly professional and I would highly recommend their services.

I found water heater leaking from the boiler drain. Couldn't stop leak. Called company that installed the unit. They couldn't come out. Interrogated Angie's List. Selected Stang Plumbing based on overall rating and number of reports. Called them at about 5:00 PM. They had a very competent technician at my house by 7:15. He had to travel about 55 miles from his home, make a stop at the shop, and come to my place. He completed the work in about 35 minutes. He was very courteous and professional. He cleaned up the work area thoroughly. We were very satisfied.
Description of Work: Replaced a leaking boiler drain in water heater. Leak discovered late on a Friday afternoon. Company sent technician in early evening. Work was done expeditiously.

Unfortunately, we woke up on a Sunday morning with standing water in our basement. We called Stang and because it was after hours, they had premium rates(about $350/hr). But our plumber was very punctual, helped up over the phone before he arrived and was very efficient. He also check out the surrounding plumbing and explained why the event happened and how we can prevent it.

We had a pipe burst on a Saturday. They came within two hours and made the repair expertly. We paid an arm and a leg but had minimal damage to our house. I think if we'd called someone else we would have paid just as much but we wouldn't have gotten as good a quality in work.

Response from Stang Plumbing
WE COULD NOT SATISFY THIS MEMBER'S REQUEST, AND WE TOLD THEM SO. IN THIS CASE, THE MEMBER ASKED US TO SELL THEM A PART THAT IS ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR SUPPLY HOUSES TO LICENSED PLUMBERS. AS SUCH, WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SELL THIS PART DIRECTLY TO OUR CUSTOMERS WITHOUT INSTALLING IT OURSELVES (TO DO SO WOULD RISK VIOLATING OUR AGREEMENTS WITH OUR SUPPLY HOUSE, NOT TO MENTION OUR LIABILITY INSURANCE). BEYOND THE NATURE OF THE RULES THAT PREVENTED US FROM SELLING THIS PART WITHOUT INSTALLING IT OURSELVES, WE WOULDN'T IF WE COULD. THE PART IN QUESTION WAS OF A COMPLICATED NATURE, SUCH THAT IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS WATER DAMAGE TO THE PROPERTY. WE THEREFORE TOLD THE MEMBER THAT WE WERE NOT WILLING TO SELL THE PART WITHOUT OUR OWN PEOPLE INSTALLING IT. WE HAVE PHONE RECORDS, NOTES, AND CONSULTATION INVOICES (THAT THE MEMBER SIGNED) VERIFYING OUR STORY THAT WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE WITH ANY ANGIE'S LIST MEMBER WHO WISHED TO SEE THEM.

They did good work, but they were pretty expensive. They were here for only an hour and I thought the price they charged was too much since the job was pretty straightforward and not complicated at all. I wouldn't use them again if I could help it because their price was high.

WE ALWAYS FEEL BADLY IF A CLIENT DOESN'T FEEL OUR PRICE IS JUSTIFIED, BUT THERE IS A TRUE COST IN DELIVERING RELIABLE HIGH-QUALITY SERVICE. IN OUR CASE IT INVOLVES PAYING ENOUGH TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN TOP QUALITY, DRUG-FREE, CRIMINAL-BACKGROUND-FREE PLUMBERS, USING THE BEST QUALITY PARTS, AND CARRYING ENOUGH INSURANCE TO GIVE US AND OUR CLIENTS PEACE OF MIND. IN ADDITION, WE FULLY STAND BEHIND ALL WORK WE DO WHICH REQUIRES EXTRA CARE AND EXPENSE ON THE FRONT END. FOR LIKE QUALITY, WE FEEL OUR PRICE IS VERY COMPETITIVE. WE'RE ALWAYS HAPPY TO DISCUSS THIS, HOWEVER, AND FEEDBACK IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED.

sewer cleaning
 + -1 more
Two days after Stang snaked out the sewer line, the line backed up again. I called Stang and told them that apparently the work for which they had charged me $502 was not successful. Stang said they could come out again but will start charging me all over again. They said that they do not warrant the snaking out process. Stang said that they cleared out the blockage the first time and apparently a new blockage developed in two days. OK, I will let the readers judge this situation. I think Stang should have come out again without charge. When I called them the first time, they should have told me that they do not warrant the sewer snaking (which they did not tell me), or they should have warned me that their work could possibly end up being totally ineffective and that I would be out over $500 without the problem being solved. It would have been a different story, I think, if the blockage re-appeared a month later. But the fact that it reappears two days later says to me that it didn't get cleared out adequately in the first place.
Description of Work: Problem is backed up sewer pipe - slow drainage and backup. I called Stang Plumbing. They sent out two men and snake. Purportedly hit a grease blockage 70 feet from the house. They said they cleaned it out. To test the line, they flushed the toilet 10 times, filled and drained the laundry tub twice, and let the faucet in bathroom run for 20 minutes. This whole process (per their work ticket) took 1 hour and 35 minutes.

I PERSONALLY SPOKE TO THE MEMBER TO SCHEDULE THIS APPOINTMENT, I SPENT ABOUT A 45 MINUTES ON THE PHONE WITH HER AND THEN SPOKE TO HER TENANT ABOUT THE SITUATION AS WELL. (DAWNE S. OFFICE/DISPATCH MANAGER) THE MEMBER CALLED IN STATING THAT SHE HAD TENANT PROPERTY WITH A MAIN SEWER LINE CLOGGED AND BACKING UP INTO THE HOUSE. THE PIPE WAS CLOGGED TO THE POINT WHERE THE TENANTS COULD NOT RUN ANY FAUCETS FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, TAKE SHOWERS, BATHE THEIR CHILDREN AND RUN LAUNDRY OR THE DISHWASHER WITHOUT SEWER WATER BACKING UP INTO THE MAIN DRAIN. SHE ADVISED ME THAT SHE HAD RECENTLY PAID A "HANDY-MAN" THAT SHE KNEW TO GO TO THE TENANT PROPERTY A COUPLE WEEKS PRIOR, WITH A RENTED SNAKE, TO CLEAR THE LINE. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE MEMBER ABOUT THE SITUATION, I EXPLAINED, IN DETAIL THE PROCESS WE, STANG PLUMBING, INC., GO THROUGH TO SNAKE A MAIN DRAIN, I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT IT CAN BE A VERY QUICK, EASY PROCESS OR IT CAN TAKE A COUPLE OF VISITS USING A "MAIN-SEWER" SNAKE TO CLEAR A CLOG SUCH AS THE ONE THEY HAVE AND ON OCCASION WE MAY HAVE TO BRING OUT A CAMERA SNAKE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE CLOG, THAT IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS PAPER JAMMED IN THE LINE OR SOMETHING AS SERIOUS AS A BROKEN SEWER LINE WHERE THERE COULD BE TREE ROOTS AND MUD IN THE LINE, ALSO EXPLAINING THAT WE CANNOT AND DO NOT WARRANTY ANY OF OUR SNAKING (IT IS ALSO CLEARLY WRITTEN ON OUR WORK TICKETS THAT WE DO NOT WARRANTY ANY SNAKING). WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE MEMBER SHE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE HOUSE WE WERE GOING TO BE WORKING ON WAS BUILT IN THE 1950'S AND THAT TO HER KNOWLEDGE, HAS NOT HAD ANY MAJOR WORK DONE, AS FAR AS UNDERGROUND MAIN SEWER LINE OR MAIN WATER LINE REPLACEMENTS. AT WHICH POINT I EXPLAINED TO THE MEMBER THAT BACK IN THE 1950'S AND INTO THE 1960'S THE TYPE OF UNDERGROUND SEWER/WATER PIPE THEY USED HAS SINCE BEEN OUTLAWED DUE TO BREAKAGE. I SUGGESTED TO HER THAT WHEN WE COME OUT AND CLEAR THE LINE, IF IT CLOGS BACK UP IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (AS IT HAS DONE SINCE THE HANDY-MAN WAS THERE) IT MAY BE BROKEN UNDERGROUND AND MAY NEED TO BE DUG UP OR PULLED AND REPLACED. I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT THIS IS A NORMAL PROCESS AND SINCE SHE HAD ALREADY HAD SOMEONE OUT TO SNAKE IT A COUPLE WEEKS PRIOR AND THE LINE WAS CLOGGED AGAIN IT VERY WELL MAY BE DUE TO A BROKEN LINE. I TOLD HER THAT WE COULD COME OUT AND SNAKE IT AND THEN, IF NECESSARY, ON THE RETURN VISIT WE WOULD BRING THE "MAIN-SEWER" SNAKE AND ALSO A CAMERA SNAKE TO PUT IN THE LINE TO VERIFY WHAT EXACTLY WAS CAUSING THE CLOG. I WENT INTO GREAT DETAIL WITH THE MEMBER ON OUR SNAKING POLICIES AND THEY WAY IT HAS TO BE HANDLED, AND WHEN SHE CALLED BACK INTO OUR OFFICE TO STATE THAT THE LINE WAS CLOGGED AGAIN WITHIN A MATTER OF A COUPLE DAYS TIME, THAT IT DOES SOUND LIKE THE LINE MAY BE BROKEN, AND THAT WE WOULD NEED TO PROCEED WITH SNAKING THE LINE AGAIN AND BRINGING A CAMERA TO DETERMINE WHERE THE LINE WAS BROKEN. WE ALSO WENT OVER ALL OF THIS WITH THE TENANT WHO WAS AT THE HOUSE THE ENTIRE TIME THE PLUMBERS WERE THERE. THE TENANT EXPLAINED TO US THAT THIS WAS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND EVEN AFTER THE "HANDY-MAN" HAD SNAKED THE LINE IT CLOGGED BACK-UP VERY SHORTLY AFTER HE LEFT. JUST FOR INFORMATION'S SAKE, WHEN A LINE IS BROKEN AND IT IS SNAKED, IT WILL CLEAR FOR A LENGTH OF TIME AND THEN AS THE DIRT/ROOTS/MUD SETTLE BACK INTO THE LINE IT WILL CLOG AGAIN, AND UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NOW WAY TO TELL HOW LONG THAT MAY TAKE, I WENT INTO GREAT DETAIL ON THIS MATTER WITH THE MEMBER FOR A SECOND TIME UPON HER RETURN CALL. I THEN SUGGESTED AND PLACED THE MEMBER ON THE PHONE WITH JON H. A MASTER PLUMBER HERE AT STANG, WHO GAVE HER THE SAME EXPLANATION OF DUE PROCESS AND SHE ACTUALLY DECIDED TO SET UP THE SECOND APPOINTMENT, TO HAVE US COME BACK OUT W/A CAMERA SNAKE, FOR A COUPLE DAYS LATER. WITHIN A DAY OF THAT CALL SHE THEN CALLED BACK TO CANCEL THE RETURN APPOINTMENT. THE PLUMBERS HERE AT STANG PLUMBING, INC. ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE WAY MAIN SEWER LINES OPERATE. WE SNAKE MAIN SEWER LINES, AND ALL OTHER LINES FOR THAT MATTER, ON A DAILY BASIS AND HAVE REPLACED MANY MAIN LINES OVER THE PAST 40 YEARS. I FEEL I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO INFORM AND EXPLAIN THIS PROCESS WITH THE MEMBER AND WENT INTO GREAT DETAIL WITH HER AS DID JON, IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT WE WERE UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE JOB. GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY WE WOULD HAVE PROVEN OUR ABILITIES, OUR KNOWLEDGE, AND THE QUALITY OF WORK WE PROVIDE TO THE MEMBER.

Came out same morning I called and fixed it up just fine, despite having to deal with a horrible pre-existing pipe configuration. He replaced everything that needed replacing (basically, all the drain pipe that's under the sink, since it wasn't done right in the first place by some previous owner of the house), gave me a new clean-out to fix any future clogs, and got everything to drain great, despite the sink being originally roughed-in too high. Overall, they did a great job.

Mark and James were the best! Honest, professional, extremely quick, and friendly! They worked great together. Called us back at 7:20 A.M, came out at 8:30 A.M to do an assessment, and were back at 9:30-10:00 AM. with the backhoe. Dug two small holes, one near the well and the other where the pipe went into the home. They pulled the broken pipe out with the backhoe, installing the new pipe at the same time. All done in about 3 hours. They patched up the concrete wall in the utility room and put grass seed where they dug the 2 holes. It looked like NO work had been done outside or inside. They also pointed out some other things we should consider fixing in the utility room. Only great things to say about Stang.

Stang replaced the sewer line under my house's crawlspace after repeated rootings. This required digging a 15 foot trench along a 3 foot high space under the house. They replaced the pipe in one day when I was at work and performed some minor cleanup the next morning. The sewer line had had root issues for a few years. I had gotten a few estimates and been bouncing around different plumbers. When Stang gave their estimate, it was the lowest I had received (half of the highest and I had liked the company from dealing with them just clearing the roots.

They billed me for $300 to $400 without checking with me first. I thought that it was going to be about a $100 job so I called them about this. They told me they would give me a discount the next time that I used them. Later, I found out (it was a tenants apartment) that the company had made a hole in the wall and never patched it up or notify me that they did this. I would not use them again.

IN RESPONSE TO HIS REPORT ON OUR COMPANY...OUR MINIMUM CHARGE IS, AT LEAST, $164.00 FOR THE FIRST HOUR. WE WERE CALLED TO HIS TENANT'S PROPERTY TO FIND OUT WHERE A LEAK FROM UNDER A TOILET WAS COMING FROM AND THAT THE SAME TOILET WAS NOT FLUSHING PROPERLY. UPON ARRIVING AT THE RESIDENCE, THE FIRST THING WE HAD TO DO WAS PULL THE TOILET TO SEE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE LEAK. UPON REMOVAL OF THE TOILET WE FOUND THAT THE FLANGE (THE FLANGE IS UNDER THE FLOOR AND STICKS UP A LITTLE ABOVE FOR THE TOILET TO BE SET ON, THIS IS WHERE THE WATER AND WASTE EXITS THE TOILET) BENEATH THE TOILET WAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. IN ORDER TO REPAIR THESE TWO CRACKS AND REPLACE THE FITTINGS TO THIS LINE WE HAD TO CUT A HOLE IN THE DRYWALL IN THE CEILING BELOW THE TOILET TO GAIN ACCESS TO MAKE THE REPAIR. THIS APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED ON A FRIDAY MORNING AT 8AM AND OUR INSTRUCTIONS PER HIM, WERE TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS TO STOP THE LEAK AND TO CALL HIM ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY MORNING WITH THE TOTAL WE HAD CHARGED TO HIS CREDIT CARD AND THE REPAIRS THAT WE MADE. BEFORE GOING OUT TO THIS PROPERTY, OR ANY JOB FOR THAT MATTER, WE MAKE OUR CUSTOMERS WELL AWARE OF OUR CHARGES...$164.00 FIRST HOUR, THIS IS A MINIMUM CHARGE, THEN AFTER THAT WE CHARGE $41.00 EVERY 15 MINUTES, PLUS ANY MATERIALS, PIPE, ETC...THAT IS USED. WE ALSO EXPLAIN THAT WE ARE A PLUMBING COMPANY AND THAT WE DO NOT MAKE ANY REPAIRS TO ANY DRYWALL OR ANYTHING OF THE LIKE, IF WE HAVE TO MAKE ANY CUTS. WE ALSO MAILED HIM A COPY OF THIS WORK TICKET (FULLY EXPLAINING THE WORK THAT WAS COMPLETED AND THE IN DETAIL PRICE PER ITEM) AND A COPY OF HIS CREDIT CARD RECEIPT. WE LEFT NUMEROUS MESSAGES ON HIS PHONE NUMBERS (ALL THREE WE HAVE ON FILE) THAT MONDAY MORNING, AS HE REQUESTED, TO NO AVAIL, TO EXPLAIN TO HIM WHAT EXACTLY WAS DONE, NOT TO MENTION THAT HIS TENANT WAS ON SITE THE ENTIRE TIME OUR STAFF WAS WORKING.

Plumber did not come with all the necessary tools to complete the job and a second visit was required. Plumber did not install new faucet to manufacturers recommendations, because the hole he drilled was too big to allow for the faucet plate to be attached to the brick-so he simply used putty to fill int he hole. Pretty shoddy work for the price.

AS THE STANG INC. VICE PRES. I AM VERY DISHEARTENED TO HEAR THAT YOU HAD A LESS THAN SATISFACTORY SERVICE EXPERIENCE. WE STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE AT STANG AND TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN WORKMANSHIP. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO CALL OUR OFFICE AND SPEAK WITH ME AS SOON AS YOU FELT DISSATISFIED. I KNOW CALLING TO REPORT A LESS THAN SATISFACTORY VISIT SEEMS TIME CONSUMING AND A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE BUT, WE CANNOT MAKE IT RIGHT IF WE DO NOT HEAR ABOUT IT FROM YOU. SOMETIMES MISTAKES ARE MADE AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED SO WE CAN NOT ONLY RESOLVE THEM BUT, SO WE CAN LEARN FROM THEM AND SO WE DO NOT REPEAT THEM. THIS IS THE FIRST I HEARD OF YOUR COMPLAINT BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU SO WE CAN MAKE IT RIGHT. WE DO OWN MORE THAN ONE ROTARY HAMMER DRILL BUT, NOT EVERY TRUCK CARRIES ONE BECAUSE THEY RUN ABOUT $850-$1000. WE HAVE 4 LARGE ONES, 4 SMALLER ONES AND EVERY TECH HAS A BATTERY OPERATED DRILL WITH A HAMMER SETTING FOR UP TO 1/2 INCH MASONRY BITS. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK WE ARE ALWAYS PREPARED FOR A JOB BUT I KNOW EVEN THE MOST EXPERIENCED OF PLUMBERS WILL MAKE A MISTAKE NOW AND AGAIN FOR WE ARE ONLY HUMAN. THE IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR YOU TO KNOW IS THAT IF A MISTAKE IS MADE ON OUR PART WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO RECTIFY IT SATISFACTORILY AND EFFICIENTLY. SINCERELY, JON HERSHBERGER

Excellent! Scheduling was easy. Communications with the company were excellent. When the original scheduled plumber had an emergency assignment they informed us and sent a replacement within two hours. The cost estimate was right on target (and matched my own back of envelope estimate from a few days previous). The work was completed quickly, efficiently and correctly. The plumber explained to us the workings of the new water conditioner. Overall, couldn't ask for a better experience with a plumber for this non-emergency call.

James and Mark are awesome! They were on time and did everything that was necessary to complete the job beyond expectations and requirements. James pointed out areas where another (licensed!) plumber had caused many of the problems that were now occurring (incorrect replacement of polybutelene pipe caused leak and chasm under driveway over time; poor soldering of copper pipe and joining adding to corrosion; improper use of PVC). Highly ethical and professional, James refused to do a "good enough" job, demonstrating pride of workmanship. Neither James nor Mark took a break all day, preferring to complete the job. A part of the job included coordinating with WSSC inspector, which they handled completely. The finished project was done beautifully, and cleaned up well. Unlike other estimates received, the price given was solid; no additional materials or time were charged. We were surprised that other firms wanted to charge $60 for an estimate; Stang's estimate was free. Working with their office was easy, and scheduling handled quickly.
Description of Work: Replaced defective pipe from water main to house; corrected sub-standard installation of water meter; installed hot water pressure tank per code; installed pressure-reducing valve per code. Also gave expert opinion on re-plumbing of laundry room and answered numerous questions at no additional charge.
