I wasn't even going to leave a review but after what I found in my basement today I felt the need to share. I will start at the first dissatisfied visit.
Two years ago I had a busted water line. It took a month before they would even consider coming out because of all the rain we had been getting. They were concerned about not being able to find the water leak despite me telling them it was up on a hill and I had already dug it out and located it for them.
Two techs came out, one obviously training. After they told me they were finished and bill paid I walked out to the area and between two young men, neither could cover and fill the hole back in that I had dug out for them.
Jump to this year. I called to have 2 bathroom drains checked, one leaking, one slow to drain. And a leak under my kitchen sink.
Tech that shows up at my home is the younger man that was training less than a year ago. I explained my issues and show him all the sinks and shower. He started on clogged, slow drain. He couldn't resolve the issue so he called dispatch for help. Now I am paying for two techs. Instead of working on one of my drain leaks he sits in the work van and waits.
I am told that they will have to come back at a later date to fix the shower drain issues. The office will set it up and give an estimate on cost. Noted that day, over $500.00, nothing fixed. Tech took his gloves off on my shower and threw them down, leaving me to pick up after him, putting them in the obvious trash can in the bathroom.
Second appointment, two man job, paying two techs. Shower drain in bathroom is fixed, they leave not fixing any leaks, dirty gloves thrown in my yard, not in the obvious trash can in my carport ten feet away from their van.
I go to my basement and they left all of the trash. Never in my experience have I ever had a plumber leave all of their trash behind. So yes, I called the office. Bill was paid in full. Total costs over two thousand dollars. I was told they would come by to clean up. They did, this time leaving my basement door wide open, winter if I may add, heating bills not cheap and the lights on under my house. I called to inform the office again as to how disrespectful these two techs are to peoples homes.
Now today... yes, months later but what I found. I went to look in my basement for my summer lounge chairs. They had been moved from their usual spot, in the dry sand part of my unfinished basement. I found them unfolded, legs folded under, laying in the dirty area of my basement floor that stays moist and wet, with muddy boot prints all over them. It's unfortunate to say the chairs had been moved from their storage place in the dry sand to the muddy area( wet from the repairs they were doing) and used by the techs to walk on with their muddy boots. A deliberate act of vandalism to personal property. I invited these gentlemen into my home and trusted them with my personal property and they disrespected my property and home. Yes, the company has been informed once again about the total lack of integrity. I feel violated due to the trust we place in services we all need. Thanks for reading. I am sure Hoyle Plumbing will never fulfill a service request of mine again but they are not the only game in town. read more
