Shower Issue: In the middle of a warm shower the water would turn exceedingly cold for no reason
5/23/25: We called Atomic Plumbing to look at the Master Bathroom Shower where we are having the issue
Atomic Plumbing came out on the 23rd; After troubleshooting they determined the Delta Single Handle Valve (Cartridge) had a bad Anti Scald Valve. To resolve the issue, they removed the old cartridge, and installed a new Delta cartridge (RP4663) recommended by tech. After the work was completed the components were tested and verified according to the Tech who was positive this would resolve our issue.
The cost for the Service and Parts was $325
After spending $325 on the first service call the same issue was still occurring, so we had to make a second service call to Atomic Plumbing
5-27 Atomic Plumbing made another Service Call for the same issue
The service Tech is now irritated that he had to come out a second time to troubleshoot the issue they didn't' resolve the first time. With a feeble attempt to trouble the same issue, the Tech arrogantly stood in front of the shower for seconds and said he could not find any issues and that the shower was working properly. Again, I explained to Tech that my husband and I are both experiencing the same problem and it is still not resolved. Atomic Plumbing's response "Your issue is fixed and there was nothing they could do".
Since they couldn't resolve the issue with the existing Shower head they recommended replacing the existing shower head with the Delta Woodhurst Single Handle shower head. Frustrated with the issue, we agreed
The cost for the Service and Parts was $260
Note: His invoice is $260.00 but he charged me $ 270.40
At this point we have spent well over 500 dollars on resolving our original issue BUT now we are having issues with the replacement Delta shower head they installed
New Issue: After turning off the shower the shower head continually leaks
5/27/25 We decided to call the Atomic Plumbing owner (Billy Matta) to discuss the issues we have encountered with the money we have spent and the parts that have been wasted trying to resolve our original issue and now the new issue with the replacement Delta shower head is leaking. We were only asking for help!!!
The owner, Billy Matta, was extremely rude and belligerent and proceeded to tell me that there was not an issue his techs could find and that we insisted on replacing the device that was not working. We only asked about the replacement Delta part since the techs could not fix existing Delta shower.
After a long discussion I mentioned to him that the shower is now dripping water all night long. He rudely informed me that he would send someone out to look at it but basically that is all they can do. He became angry and informed me to find someone else to fix the leak and proceeded to hang up on me
This has been the worst customer support I have ever experienced where the owner of a company tells a customer to go to another company to fix their problem
Thankfully we took the advice of the Atomic Plumber Owner to find another Company to fix their issue
The new company came out and indicated on their invoice that the replacement Delta shower head was dripping and found the cartridge wasn't making proper seal due to the scaling in the shower value. They lightly sanded inside the value and installed a new shower cartridge, checked for leaks. The shower is now working properly thanks to the new company
Inconclusion regarding Atomic Plumbing:
* Subpar work
* Poor customer Service
* The owner was very disrespectful, insolent and quick tempered and had no interest in helping us with our concerns
* I will never use or recommend Atomic Plumbing to anybody read more
