We had a blockage in a drain in one of our bathrooms, so we asked them to put in a cleanout to that drain. He jackhammered our bathroom floor and went to the drain to our other bathrooms and replaced the outside drainage to that bathroom having a 6 ft trench dug in our yard. He installed a double cleanout to that one drain. Today, the hole in our bathroom was filled and cemented. The trench was filled. The plumber told my husband that he did not have time to install the cleanout today and would have to install it next week. We then got a call from the office asking for our final payment.
I told the office that the work was not complete and was told that was not the information they had. I was also told that the supervisor would be notified. A half an hour later the plumber called me to say there was a miscommunication. (The only reason we wanted them to do any of our work was because we thought that a cleanout to that bathroom would make it easier for any future blockages and that is the first thing we said to him.) The paperwork said that is what we wanted and he proceeded to put in a double cleanout to the other drain....not necessary to have a double cleanout for one drain.When he called me I reminded him that he told my husband he was coming next week to put in the cleanout he said that he was going to do it next week. He told me he would have to put it inside of our cabinet, yet he had cemented all of the floor next to the cabinet that he had jackhammered and let the office know the work was done. He said he was just going to do it for us,but now he was going to have to charge us for it. Of course I then told him that we would just get someone else. We ended up spending $3550 and still did not get what we asked for in the first place. I just did some laundry and the stoppage is still there. Water has backed up into our shower.
I have since looked at reviews on Yelp and see that my opinion is similar to several others.
It was not difficult for us to find another plumbing company that could do a better job with a better attitude.
The next day (Tuesday), when I went outside to look at what they had done, I found out they broke one of my clean outs and did not fix the blockage. The sewage was just going out the vent pipe instead of into the sewer. I called them back and they said they couldn't come out until (Wednesday). I was angry since I had raw sewage dumping into my back yard, but I agreed since I had no other options. When I called on Wednesday they said they would schedule for Thursday. I said no and called the home warranty. They home warranty called On The Spot, who decided they could do it on Wednesday. They told me they would be there between 1 and 5 pm again. This worked for me since I had an important meeting that morning. During the meeting I turned off my cell phone. On the Spot called me at 10 am and said they were at my house. They left 15 minute later. I didn't get the call since I was in the meeting and wasn't expecting them until 1pm.
In the end I had to use another plumber who quickly came out and fixed what should have been an easy repair.
Ended up that the tree in my front yard cracked my sewer pipe, First American would not cover the cost because it was caused by tree roots.
The guys showed up when they said they would and were very conscientious in hauling out our old water heater and putting in the new one in our 2nd story attic(basically they had to go up and down three flights of stairs.) We'd just had new carpet installed and they were very careful of everything.
We were very pleased with the job they did.
I would use On The Spot again if needed outside of my warranty.
I did not want him drilling my concrete again because I was not sure what effect that would have on the rest of the house. I called him and he did finally figure out the real problem, my shower needed to have the gout replaced. He did offer to return some of the money.
"We tested and diagnosed and found multiple issues regarding the shower in the master bathroom. We made the necessary repairs, we updated the warranty company as to the repairs that needed to be made. The warranty company did authorize a 1000.00 coverage that the customer could apply towards the repairs so that the customer would not have to pay so much from his pocket. We made all the necessary repairs, tested everything to make certain that there were no additional leaks."
It will probably be clogged again tomorrow. If it is I will not call this company.
"We definitely had to go out to this residence multiple times. We called and updated his warranty company every time that we went out, that is what we are asked to do. Their policy does not cover baby wipes, roots, paper towels, etc. When we found out that the warranty company would not be covering their stoppage issue, we informed them as to what we were told. Their warranty company even advised them as to why this would not be covered. If the warranty company does not cover the stoppage due to this not being normal wear and tear then we quote the customers up front charges to perform the work. The customer agreed to have the line cleaned out with a cable, we checked the line and everything was flowing good at the time that we left. Unfortunately we can not control what people place in their toilets and in their drain lines. We can only point out what we find or pull back. No plumbing company will cover any plumbing stoppage if it's a reoccurring issue due to abuse of the drain line."
