We just purchased a home and discovered that the upstairs shower and sink were experiencing…read moreintermittent periods of low water pressure combined with periods of 5 to 15 seconds when the water flow seems to completely stop. I selected Drainman because of the strong ratings on Yelp, and I was very happy with the outcome of the repair. Mike Ammouri, the very friendly and knowledgeable owner, came to our home to diagnose the problem on a Sunday... which was amazing in itself. Mike went through a series of troubleshooting tests to determine that the pressure in the old part of our house was fine. He also looked at the plumbing lines going into the new part of the house where the upstairs shower and sink are located, and he reported that everything looked fine. That left the water tank itself. He went upstairs with me and we conducted a few tests and he then concluded that our water holding tank was too small, thereby causing the pump to cycle on and off. It was during those cyclings that we were experiencing the severe drop down in water flow. He came out on a Sunday, provided what seemed to be an accurate diagnosis, he charged me nothing, and he's going to provide a quote for the work. On top of that, I got a new showerhead thrown in for free.

From the beginning, Jaco spent as much time as I needed to review my options and even took a video of my problem Before I made a commitment . My instincts told me to go with them and they turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made in selecting a contractor to work in my home. Pipeshark was on time, professional, knowledable, and did a fantastic job! Each evening they wrapped up, they left the house incredibly clean, I was so impressed.

It was overall terrible experience and as time goes on I realize it could have been catastrophic if I moved forward with them. I had a clogged drain and got an invoice from Essig on what it would cost to move forward with what was needed. Essig was at my home for several hours trying to clear my drain line. Did not try to upsell me on anything I needed. Jim was absolutely fantastic and straight forward and has proven to be a man of his word with Essig plumbing. I called berks plumbing for a second opinion and hydro blasting because it was recommended from a friend who is a plumber on the west coast after the traditional snake from Essig was unsuccessful before going into the foundation. Mike from berks plumbing quoted me at $2000 for hydro blasting and to clear the drain. However said if I bought a $4200 he would only charge me $1,100 for the hydro blasting. Beware single ladies, he is going to say run it by your significant other. I thought it was considerate at first, however, after sharing my experience with other members of the community, this is how he works even when he worked at other companies. Mike is a sales man, he cares about taking your money for the lowest quality work. He sold me on the water softener system, that I did not need and was not in my budget if I needed my pipes replaced at $8,000. He told me it would be beneficial to reduce further erosion on my old cast iron pipes. He assured me the hydro blasting and water softener would solve my issues. And I did not need my pipes dug up in the basement and replaced. I DO AND WHEN I SAW WHAT I SAW WHEN THEY RAN THAT CAMERA I KNOW BERKS PLUMBING SCAMMED ME!! They came out the first time, "ran a camera" (it never happened) and somehow what Essig couldn't get through, they chain snaked and claimed it was hair and lint and "successfully removed the blockage". When I asked Ardie, the plumber Mike sent for the job, to see what was removed from the pipe that was causing the drain issues he said he got rid of it already. Then I asked him what he saw on the camera and if there was a lot of erosion and he said "it was just dark". Ardie said he ran a small load of laundry and there was no issues and I was good to go. I ran a normal load of laundry in my washer and it backed up into the utility sink. Mike sent Ardie back out to correct the job. They came back out and I demanded to see what was going on inside the pipe. They used the same camera and as soon as they got in the pipe there were several holes in my drain line. Water was going under the foundation of my home and the pipes absolutely needed to be replaced. They didn't do their job properly the first time, I did not need it snaked or a water softener. I needed them replaced as Essig told me. Then when I informed Mike I was going with Essig he completely bad mouthed them. Said they do shotty work and will try to upsell me on everything. Coming from the guy who did just that. He lowered the price of the job and wanted to do it when I wasn't home. Red flags all around with him. Then he called me several times reducing the price of the job. I told him it wasn't about the money anymore that I was not confident in their ability to do the job. Mike was going to do it the next day. I live in west reading where you need a permit to do this type of work. He wasn't going to get the permit. He also told me the floor drain doesn't get replaced because they're obsolete which is also not true. I have text messages and I have a recording of the conversation between us. That's how unsure I was about this company. I would steer clear. The employees are unprofessional and their work is not of quality. They want your money. That's all, in my experience.
