Description of Work: After an appointment was made 2 weeks prior, no one showed up. When I called (number listed on Page A27 of the coupon section of the September issue of Angie's List Monthly), I was advised that I was "not in their system" and I was "outside their service area". Why was the appointment made if no one was going to show up? Bad Bad Bad business practice!!!

Response from Matt Mertz Plumbing Trenchless Sewer Repair Expert
This member called in looking to schedule service in her home. The new employee scheduled the service to take place on the 21st of September not knowing we don't service the McDonald PA area. We called the member back and informed them we wouldn't be able to take care of their plumbing issue. This is why we didn't show up at their home on Monday the 21st.

Description of Work: The Matt Mertz team replaced my old hot water tank with a tankless system which included re-routing a gas line, tapping into the existing water supply lines, running new vent lines, and installing the new water heater and drain. They also replaced and reconfigured drain lines under the basement concrete, roughing in new toilet, shower, and sink drain lines. | |The work was high quality and I couldn't have asked for better service. The team was very professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and took the time to discuss options with me before doing the work. Service was completed over 2 days, which was impressive considering the amount of work that needed to be done. I will be calling on Matt Mertz again to inspect a few floor drains that I suspect are clogged. I highly recommend this company.

Response from Matt Mertz Plumbing Trenchless Sewer Repair Expert
We value our customers and try to get to everyone we can, however we can only get to so many people each day. This customer called in Monday the 14th of September requesting emergency service for water backed up in his basement. We already had our maximum amount of emergency calls schedule and didn't want to schedule someone and not make it to their home. We asked if we could put him on the emergency list for Tuesday the 15th and he denied the service. I'm not sure how we can get an F rated for being honest with our clients.

After reviewing our phone records and data base, we have no information on this scheduled appointment. This leads me to believe she has either the wrong Mertz plumbing or the appointment was never scheduled. Please have Gwen contact me directly, so we can get to the bottom of this. Thank you, Gabriel Negri Matt Mertz Plumbing

Description of Work: Initially, we called them to install a water line for a new refrigerator. We were very happy with what they did and got an estimate to replace the toilets in our house. They came back two weeks later and did that instillation. Both times they did the work to perfection and we would not hesitate to call them again. We highly recommend them.

Description of Work: Matt Mertz came and visited on the first call and gave me direction on how best to handle my situation where my house to main sewer line has broken, leaking sewage into my yard. After I followed their guidance they followed up with me which was awesome. I decided to move forward with the work which required digging up the yard, replacing the sewage line and control valve and putting the yard back together. The workers were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and worked hard to get things complete timely, sometimes staying until after 6pm! | |After they fixed the issues they repaired the yard by replacing the dirt. Intially it was going well until the heavy rains came. Of course there is settling but due to the large hole they had to dig, there were sections requiring additional filling. A simple call back to Matt Mertz plumbing had them coming out a few days later to backfill and organize. They did a fabulous job in filling all areas. | |Extremely please with the Matt Mertz team and their efforts. I will definitely use them again as needed and refer as much as possible.

Description of Work: The appointment originally was to snake out downspout drain. also showed him a leaky outside faucet shut off faucet. Brian showed up on time, completed the snake out quickly. We then went into the house to check out the faucet. Brian was able to replace it. very quickly without any mess. I would definitely use them again. The total cost was much less than I expected. He also checked a shower faucet and tightened it up so it work work correctly. Truly awesome work.

Response from Matt Mertz Plumbing Trenchless Sewer Repair Expert
The customer called after 5pm on a Saturday. Our office staff is in on Saturdays from 8am to 4pm. After that, our line does have an extension for you to reach myself, Lisa, at 24/7 for an emergency or if you need to speak with someone right away. He did NOT call that extension but chose to leave a message in our general mail box. That mail box does get checked first thing Monday morning. As soon as we heard the issue- we made sure to take care of it same day! Our drain tech did come out for the snaking. We did have another tech available to come out but the home owner was not available each time frame we gave. (We did have later that evening and all that week time slots open.) If there is any issues with our work I ask for the customer to call us so that we may resolve it and make sure our customer is fully satisfied. We are always willing to talk with our customers about any concerns or questions they may have, so if you are reading this as a potential customer, please do not hesitate to contact myself directly as I am always available to talk.
