I received a call from my old neighbor, Brenda and was told she had hired this company to do some repairs for her that were not done correctly. I ended up driving out to her house to take a look at what was going on after being told Elias would not respond to her calls after missing an appointment to come see what went wrong.
When I got there, she showed me what he had done. He had replaced a leaking 90 in her pipe going to her hose bib. She explained that when she turned on the water shutoff to the pipe, she could hear water running. When she went outside to check there was water pouring out of the wall.
I took the paneling off the wall and noticed he had caused a compression fitting to loosen when he put a 90 SharkBite in the leaking 90's place. As a contractor myself I understand these things happen, the problem I have is, he would have known there was a break if he would have turned the water back on to the pipe. He obviously did not check his work after, because the compression was not even attached anymore. After fixing it, I turned the water back on and the 90 was leaking. I noticed that it was never even seated the entire way. A quick push and it was back together.
I also noticed that the pipe was dangling and allowing the bib to spin now that there was a SharkBite attached. I attached a pipe hanger as well as screwed the bib to the wall.
Any contractor worth his salt would have at least checked his work and fixed the problems he created. I would not recommend this company. read more
