David was my tech. Excellent worker. Such a nice, neat, quiet person. No horror stories, just got the work done, in both my kitchen and my basement. Routed quietly from kitchen sink to street cleared gunk from previous owners.
Description of Work: Kitchen sink would not drain (both sides) after we would run. U-tube was clear pipes all the way outside of home needed clearing.

Good. They came out, replaced the faucet, cleaned up well. Very efficient and good work.
Description of Work: Replaced outdoor faucet that was leaking into the basement of house. They came out quickly, were efficient and did a good job. They did use one of my husband's home-brew buckets and caused burn holes in the bottom but they did apologize and it was not too badly damaged. Other than that they did a good job!

They said they were too busy before I even gave them a time frame. They then recommended that I call another company, which I felt was unprofessional. Based on their immediate refusal of my inquiry, I felt like they were not interested in my business.

They were prompt, courteous, and very professional. Everyone I spoke with from this company was very professional and helpful. Since the first service call, I have had the company return to fix the problem with my kitchen sink. I would definitely use the company in the future and highly recommend to anyone.
Description of Work: I could not start the water heater in my home. They were able to come out that day and fix the problem. Not only that, they went out and purchased an access door to the heater and installed the door for me with only a small charge. Also, for no extra charge, they gave me an estimate on my kitchen sink (leaking) while they were on the job for the hot water heater.

Response from Muetzel Plumbing, Heating & Cooling
PRIOR TO READING THIS REPORT WE CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER TO UPDATE HIM ON OUR EFFORTS TO GATHER THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO PUT A QUOTE TOGETHER. AS I WILL EXPLAIN THIS IS NOT AN ORDINARY SITUATION. IN FACT, THE CUSTOMER INFORMED US THAT HE TRIED TO GET OTHER PLUMBERS TO GIVE HIM A QUOTE AND THEY DECLINED TO DO ANYTHING FOR HIM. HIS REVIEW IS ACCURATE TO THE EXTENT THAT WE HAVE NOT GIVEN HIM A QUOTE. TO THIS DAY WE STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER A QUOTE FOR THIS WORK. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE CUSTOMER'S HOUSE, WE HAVE MADE TWO TRIPS TO THE CITY OF COLUMBUS, WE HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL SUBCONTRACTORS AND WE STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PUT SOLID NUMBERS TOGETHER. WHY? FOR TWO REASONS. THE CUSTOMER HAS EXPANDED THE REQUESTED SERVICES TO INCLUDE THE TAPPING OF THE CITY WATER MAIN AND THE TAPPING OF THE CITY SEWER MAIN. IN A NORMAL SITUATION THIS QUOTE WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO PUT TOGETHER BUT IT COULD BE DONE IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. HOWEVER, THIS SITUATION IS NOT NORMAL. THE CITY WATER MAIN THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO TAP INTO IS CONCRETE, 48 INCH WIDE AND 11 FEET DEEP. THE CITY SEWER MAIN IS CONCRETE, 84 INCH WIDE, AND 34 FEET DEEP. WE ARE NOT PERSONALLY EQUIPPED TO DO THIS WORK, WHICH IS WHY WE HAD TO SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF OUTSIDE CONTRACTORS. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET OTHER COMPANIES TO GIVE US A FIRM QUOTE AND WE HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL. NO ONE WANTS TO MESS WITH THIS SITUATION. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET ROUGH NUMBERS FROM SOME COMPANIES AND WITH THIS INFORMATION HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE THE CUSTOMER A BALLPARK FIGURE. WE ALSO ASKED IF THE CUSTOMER WOULD LIKE FOR US TO PROCEED WITH PUTTING SOME HARD NUMBERS TOGETHER BASED ON OUR BALLPARK FIGURE. WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 9-12 HOURS OF OUR TIME INVOLVED ON JUST GETTING THIS FAR AND WE HAVE NOT CHARGE THE CUSTOMER ANYTHING FOR THIS SERVICE. IF THE CUSTOMER DOES WISH TO PROCEED WE WILL PUT TOGETHER A COMPREHENSIVE PROPOSAL FOR THIS WORK, WHICH WILL TAKE US AT LEAST ANOTHER FULL TWO DAYS OF WORK. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THIS IS NOT A SITUATION WHERE YOU SLAP A NUMBER TOGETHER BASED ON PAST EXPERIENCE. THIS WORK IS A VERY DIFFICULT, SAFETY INTENSIVE, AND REQUIRES A LOT OF HOME WORK AND FORETHOUGHT. WE WISH THE SITUATION WAS DIFFERENT BECAUSE IN ALL LIKELIHOOD THE CUSTOMER IS NOT GOING TO PROCEED DUE TO THE COSTS INVOLVED. IN RETURN WE WILL NOT RECOVER ANYTHING FOR OUR EFFORTS. HOWEVER, WE ALWAYS TRY TO HELP THE CUSTOMER, EVEN WHEN OTHER PLUMBING COMPANIES RUN AWAY. FINALLY, TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, NO WE NEVER FEEL THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH WORK TO LEAVE A CUSTOMER HIGH AND DRY, WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE STUCK WITH THIS CUSTOMER AND THE SITUATION PRESENTED. YOU SHOULD NOTE THAT WE ARE UNDERGOING ALL OF THIS EFFORT ON OUR PART FOR A CUSTOMER THAT HAS NEVER USED US. THAT SHOULD SPEAK VOLUMES ABOUT OUR COMPANY. AS ALWAYS, IF ANYONE WISHES TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER MORE FULLY, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME ANYTIME. SINCERELY, ANDREW MUETZEL

Our sump pump stopped working during the spring when it was raining for days on end. I called Muetzel and the scheduler told me that they were swamped with calls just like mine, but they would try to squeeze us in as soon as they could. We received a call the next day that a crew had finished up another job earlier than expected and they could come replace our pump. We were worried that it would be a major job because our radon mitigation system was hooked into our sump pump well. The guys arrived and made short work of the job and installed a new pump that took right off! I have used Muetzel several times in the past and will not hesitate to call them again!
Description of Work: Removed non-working sump pump and installed new pump around our radon migitation system.

Our shower has been draining slowly for about a week. Finally, it stopped draining at all. We tried 2 bottles of drain opener, a plunger, and a snake - only to have the backup become worse when we used the bathroom sink. We called Muetzel and they had a plumber at our home that afternoon! He snaked the drain, got rid of the nasty hairball clog and gave us tips on how to prevent this from happening in the future. Yeah!!
Description of Work: Snaked a totally clogged shower drain.

The experience was excellent. They are exceptionally professional. The plumbers show up at the door and they immediately put boot covers on so they never track dirt in and out of your house. They give you the price for the work upfront. They don't tell you that you have to give them either cash or a check. You can pay with a credit card, if you are a good customer they will even bill you. Additionally if there is a specific technician that you like you can request them and they will send you that specific one.

The work was excellent but the price was what shocked me. I've used them before and it seems to have gone up a bit. The work was good, they were professional and timely, but I felt $360 was a bit expensive for this particular job. I think I would shop around for another plumber before calling them again.

gas leak repair

First of all if you don't now what they're doing, and no one else is there to make sure that they are doing the right thing, you don't know if they're doing what they've contracted to do and that was a huge problem. A guy from a gas company came out recently and told me that the work I had hired this company probably didn't need to be done, and that the company had "got me." The company was nice to me, but if they don't do what they contracted to do it doesn't matter that they were nice. From now on if I have work done on my house I will have a couple of men there who know what's going on so they can make sure that the work is being done correctly.
Description of Work: I hired them to dig from the street up under my sidewalk and all the way up to the meter in my house, and put a new meter in. The problem was that I didn't understand what they were doing and I don't think they did what they said they were going to do.

Response from Muetzel Plumbing, Heating & Cooling
MY HEART WENT INTO MY THROAT AS I READ THIS POSTING. I IMMEDIATELY TRACKED DOWN THE PAPERWORK TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE WORK WAS PERFORMED IN FEBURARY 2007. THE CUSTOMER CALLED US AFTER THE GAS COMPANY SHUT OFF HER GAS AND DISCONNECTED HER SERVICE FROM THE METER SETTING. WE WENT OUT ON SITE AND FOLLOWED UP WITH A QUOTE TO THE CUSTOMER TO REPLACE HER GAS LINE, INSTALL A NEW RISER AND METER SETTING. ALL WORK WAS QUOTED AT THE PRICE OF $3,207.00. NOTHING APPEARED OUT OF THE ORDINARY FROM THE PAPERWORK, SO I CALLED THE CUSTOMER TO SEE IF SHE FELT COMFORTABLE DISCUSSING HER COMPLAINT. WE TALKED FOR ALMOST AN HOUR. SHE IS A VERY NICE LADY AND WHAT SHE DID NOT REALIZE WAS THAT WE BORED HER NEW SERVICE. SHE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DIG UP HER YARD TO INSTALL THE PIPING AND WHEN WE DID NOT, SHE THOUGHT WE FAILED TO INSTALL THE NEW GAS SERVICE. WE DID IN FACT INSTALL THE SERVICE, RISER AND METER SETTING PER THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE GAS COMPANY. I AM NOT SURE WHY THE GAS COMPANY WOULD SAY WE "GOT HER", WHEN THEY TURNED HER GAS OFF AND TOLD HER SHE NEEDED TO HAVE THE WORK DONE. PERHAPS THE INDIVIDUAL WHO SAID THIS REMARK WAS WORKING OFF OF HER BELIEF THAT A NEW SERVICE WAS NOT INSTALLED. REGARDLESS, THE CUSTOMER INFORMED ME THAT SHE IS HAPPY WITH THE WORK THAT WE PERFORMED, HOW NEATLY AND PROFESSIONAL IT WAS INSTALLED AND WAS SORRY FOR THE MISCOMMUNICATION TO ANGIE'S LIST THAT SHE HAD A COMPLAINT ABOUT WORK THAT SHE THOUGHT WE DID NOT PERFORM. SHE SAID THAT WE WERE ACTUALLY THE LOWEST BID ON THE WORK AND THAT EVERYONE ELSE WAS GOING TO DIG UP HER YARD. SHE IS NOW GRATEFUL THAT WE BORED THE SERVICE SO THAT HER YARD WAS NOT TORN UP. THIS WAS A CASE OF THE CUSTOMER THINKING ONE THING AND MUETZEL PLUMBING DOING SOMETHING BEYOND HER EXPECTATIONS. I AM SENDING HER ANOTHER COPY OF HER SIGNED CONTRACT THAT DETAILED EVERYTHING WE DID SO THAT SHE HAS IT FOR HER RECORDS. FROM NOW ON, WHEN THE CUSTOMER IS ON SITE DURING A SERVICE REPLACEMENT, I AM GOING TO HAVE OUR TECHNICIAN GO OVER EACH STEP OF THE PROCESS WITH THE CUSTOMER. HOPEFULLY, THAT WILL ENSURE THAT THE CUSTOMER HAS A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE ARE DOING AND HOW WE ARE DOING IT.
