horribly, they overcharged compared to their competition by over a $1000 and then did not honor the warranty that they put in writing, they charge hourly and not by the job and they charge a per visit charge separately and they charge separately for use of the camera, you will go broke using Crawford for plumbing, they have various hourly rates that show up as a surprise on each invoice
Response from Crawford Mechanical Services Inc
"Customer 1 and Customer 2 own rental property together. 6/5/20, Customer 2 called to have a sewer line cleared at one of their rental properties. CMS informed her of costs ($511.27) CMS found tree roots in main sewer line. CMS called Cust. 1 as Cust. 2 left job. Cust. 1 approved new costs and also added additional work (tub leak), which all was completed ($1109.40) CMS did warranty this work for tree roots only, which we delivered warranty letter and thumb drive (video of camera work in sewer line) of work to them personally after hours. On 7/15/20 Customer 2 called CMS and said sewer backed up again. We informed her of charge and stated if its not under warranty there will be new charges and she approved ($473.00). CMS cleared sewer of flushable wipes. There were NO tree roots with this call. Customer 1 and Nate, CMS service mgr, spoke last week and Nate informed him of everything that was completed on job. Customer 1 was fine with charges. Before end of call, Cust. 1 and Nate where laughing. Now Cust. 1 is going on Angie's list and saying CMS over charged and did not warranty work. No company will warranty clearing sewer lines (other than the warranty of tree roots) as you don't know what foreign objects renter is putting down system other than waste. CMS takes pride in our work and making sure the customer is happy with the work performed. Suzette Crawford/Crawford Mechanical Services, Inc."

I used Crawford Mechanical Services to unclog a sewer line due to water back up. Technician came on Monday, as scheduled, ran a short drain snake, at a cost of $ 354.00 to me, but had water back up again by Thursday. Called the office early on Friday to report the problem. This company will charge full service again and will not warrant their work. They sent another technician, late afternoon on Friday "just to look". The man didn't attempt to unclog the the drain and only offered digging exterior pipes at a cost of $2,000.00. The man was rude, unpleasant, disrespectful and clearly didn't want to be there. Called supervisor to report but didn't return call. This company offers very poor costumer service, will give you all kind of run around and will take advantage of costumers with plumbing problems. They do not have your best interest in mind. Be very cautious and careful to invite them into your home.

I emailed the company I on a Sunday and got a response that dayou from Susan Crawford. She CC her office person with her reply and was contacted the next day. I was quoted up to $3000 for this job from another company so I jumped on this price. Crawford quoted at $1000 The workers arrived in the morning with their bobcat to dig up the yard. There were lots of roots in the way which complicated things. When done I had water going down to the street from my gutters finally! I did have to do some seeding of grass and spread dirt and rocks around my property that were leftover. The bobcat tracks needed to be reseeded. Crawford Mechanical did the work they quoted in a timely manner and were professional and friendly. I plan to use them again for plumbing related problems in the future.

Crawford (CMS) came out to fix a plumbing issue prior to our home purchase so we decided to use them for plumbing issues that i still occurring after we gained possession. In our first appointment, the technician was 3 hours late and did not come with the proper equipment to fix the issue. Another time was scheduled to correct the draining issues. Not only was the technician a no show for our appointment, there has not been any responses from the office to schedule a new appointment or apologize for not showing up even after I had left several message.
Response from Crawford Mechanical Services Inc
"3235 Ainwick Road was a previous customer. Crawford Mechanical Services (CMS) went out for the previous customer and snaked the vent. CMS told previous owner that the pipes were really old and he might want to consider replacing pipes. House was built in 1951. The new owners (Member's) wanted CMS to come out and run the snake back into vent (as a warranty) CMS told the member that we cannot warranty snake work on the new owners. The members made an appt. with CMS to come out and snake vent. On the morning of the appt. CMS had an emergency call and emergencies become priority. CMS called the members and told them we would be late due to the emergency but would be there at some point. The members stated it was okay. Yes, CMS showed up 3 hours late. The member told CMS that she didn't have time to have the service completed so we rescheduled. CMS showed up for the next appt. on time. CMS knocked on door and no one was at house. We waited for 20 mins. thinking maybe the members had to run for an errand. CMS called the member and she would not answer the phone. CMS operator checked the call logs for this particular day and no the members ever called back to let us know where they were or to reschedule. CMS has built a reputation on integrity and honesty, and we’ve been developing long-lasting relationships with our customers for years. CMS hopes that when customers have emergencies that take presedence over another service call, that customer would be understanding and know that CMS would do the same for them if they had the same emergency. Our goal at CMS is to strive and make our customers want to call us back for any service. CMS would just never not show up or call. Thank you. Owner of Crawford Mechanical Services."

This company did work for us in the past and we were pleased. What we did not like was how they changed the billing and did not inform of this until the job was finished. They bill by the job not they hour. The bill we were sent was not itemized so we don't even know how much was for labor and how much was for parts. Because of this, we will never ever use them again.
Response from Crawford Mechanical Services Inc
"I would like to thank the member for her response on Angie's List. As a business owner, we want to make sure our customers are satisfied. I pulled the invoice and we installed a Delta faucet for her tub. The member signed the service ticket and was given a total for how much the job was going to cost (which was itemized). She signed for the invoice that was in the amount of $665.00. The total of the invoice was $665.00. I am not sure how we changed the billing since the service ticket she signed for and the invoice that we mailed to her was the excact amount. Hopefully, in the future we can service the Kolman's. Thank you. Crawford Mechanical Services"

Things dried up well, so it appears I'm "good to go"! As my contacts with the company went very professionally, I would be comfortable referring them to other customers.

Worst work we've ever had done. Installed shower incorrectly and left a tool down the drain - even after being asked about it. Shower needed to be replaced by another contractor. Terrible also at returning calls and keeping appointments.

CMS is the installer for Home Depot. Purchased a water heater on-line and was contacted by CMS the next day to schedule an appointment. Installer called when he was leaving his last job, on the way to pick up the water heater from Home Depot. This was great for me as it gave me time to meet him at my house from work, and was well within the time frame quoted. Installer was very friendly, knowledgeable and respectful of my home. Install went quickly (about 60 minutes) as this was a relatively straight forward install/replace. I would certainly consider them for other plumbing work.

Mr. Hendershot was prompt, courteous, and thorough in making certain the hot water heater connected correctly and was working correctly before he finished. He explained and answered my questions thoroughly. He was friendly and very polite. I would contact them myself if I ever have future plumbing/piping problems.

Michelle, the lady in the office, did an excellent job of straightening out the mess with Home Depot (they did not send the order, so I was waiting around half the day for a phone call that never came). Steve, the plumber who did the installation was very quick (under an hour) and thorough. Came within the 2-hour window estimated by Michelle. Left the work area in good condition. Was very thorough in explaining the new water heater to me. Very comfortable with their work; would gladly have them do work for me again.

JOB 1. THE PLUMBER WAS VERY NICE. THE COMPANY CALLED THAT HE WOULD BE LATE. JOB 2. ROCKY THE PLUMBER WAS VERY NICE, AND DID THE JOB. I LIKED THE FACT THAT HE COVERED HIS (DIRTY) SHOES WITH SHOE COVERS PRIOR TO COMING IN MY HOUSE. I WAS NOT CHARGED A FEE AS I HAD ALREADY PAID WHEN THE FLUSHER WAS ORIGINALLY FIXED.

THE INSTALLER WAS NICE. HOWEVER, AFTER HE LEFT I DISCOVERED THAT EVERY CONNECTION WAS LEAKING. THE LEAKS WERE SMALL BUT TOOK ME A DAY AND A HALF TO FIX. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE JOB WAS DONE CORRECTLY AND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

THEY DID NOT WANT TO HONOR THE DISCOUNT. TWO DIFFERENT PLUMBERS DID WORK POORLY OR INCOMPLETELY. IDENTIFIED PROBLEM WITH A SUMP PUMP, I EXCHANGED IT, BUT THE PLUMBER FORGOT TO KEEP AN NEEDED PIECE, WHICH ADDED COST. THEY USED INCOMPATIBLE PIPE THAT LEAKED. ANOTHER PLUMBER SAID THESE SHOULD NEVER BE USED TOGETHER. QUALITY OF PARTS USED AND WORK DONE CONFLICTED WITH PROMISES MADE. HE RECONNECTED THE TRAP BADLY. THE FAUCETS WERE INSTALLED BADLY, AND THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. THEY USED PLASTIC FEED LINES, INSTEAD OF METAL I REQUESTED DUE TO POORLY STOCKED TRUCK. RELUCTANT TO ADD SHUT OFF VALVE WHERE IT WAS NEEDED. POOR CLEAN UP AFTER, A LEAK LEFT A CABINET SATURATED. THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO KNOW SOLUTIONS THAT WOULD BE BASIC KNOWLEDGE TO A PROFESSIONAL PLUMBER. WOULD NOT EXCHANGE MY CHECK FOR A CASH PAYMENT. WOULDN'T LISTEN TO MY CONCERNS, UNWILLING TO RESOLVE PROFESSIONALLY.

PURCHASED UNIT AT 1:00 PM AND RECEIVED PHONE CALL FROM CRAWFORD WITHIN 1 HOUR TO SCHEDULE INSTALLATION. THEY SHOWED UP AT THE TIME THAT THEY SCHEDULED AND INSTALLATION WENT SMOOTHLY. THEY LEFT THE AREA CLEAN AND JUST THE WAY THEY FOUND IT.
