Please read the full review, tl;dr: I had a horrible experience, and they have terrible reviews on Yelp, not sure how the google reviews are so great.
I was assigned Grade A Plumbing through my home warranty AHS. I noticed a leak in my garbage disposal, and after a few weeks of observation and confirmation (it happened under certain conditions), I put in a service request this past Saturday. The company promptly contacted me on Monday morning and set up a service appt for the same day, it was amazing! But it went downhill from there.
The tech (Marsailes) arrived promptly on the scheduled time. However, right from the very first interaction, he was rude and aggressive. Like there was something wrong, and he had better things to do, and I had forced him to come for service and was making up an issue.
He walks over to the garbage disposal and does some very basic sink usage, and claims there is no leak, and unless he can see the leak live (no photos would do) he cannot do anything about it. He was being extremely rude and aggressive. Trying to make me feel like I was wasting his time. And I explicitly told him, I paid a 100 dollar dispatch fee, and I wouldn't do this for fun, if I didnt think there is a leak.
So I reproduce the leak for him, by showing how under heavy water load conditions the sink would leak water from the side and bottom, and tell him if that is considered a leak. And if it is not I understand and he doesnt have to do anything, otherwise he needs to address it. It is as simple as that. He gets defensive about it, saying he will have to talk to his boss.
He calls his boss, and I guess his boss approved the replacement. He comes back with 2 tattered boxed garbage disposal and pushes me into a choice between the 2 and he won't waste any more time here.
I choose one, during the install he manages to break the new disposal, so he then gives me the upgraded disposal so he can be done with the job. (He did make a phone call to his boss that he messed up, and to deduct the price of the upgraded disposal from his paycheck). He unscrews my old disposal and simply replaces it by mounting the new disposal in it's place. He does not check the plumbers putty, or sink flange seal of the drain, does not check the mounting bracket, or replace the p trap hardware. Just reuses all the same stuff, but does not verify leaks or seals or conditions of them. And then wipes up some of the water and just leaves in a huff. All throughout he is rude and aggressive and makes it seem like his time is being wasted. Note that this my first time ever dealing with him, his company and a plumbing repair through the company.
After he leaves, after our night use of the sink, I notice that the p-trap has a small leak through the slip joint washer near the drain outlet. Now I am reluctant to even call this company to address the issue, in case they break something or do an even worse job. The disposal is fine so far. But I noticed that the sink flange is slightly misaligned and the plumber putty seems to have come out from the sides a little. Not sure if it will cause problems later down the road, but I dont want this tech or company to address it.
Please avoid the company, or at least the tech. Not sure what the whole problem was. read more
