    I called Ben after having my 3rd septic clog in just three years. Another company suggested that I…read moreneed a completly new system. Ben immediately diagnosed a bellied (sagging) inlet pipe as the problem. Just 6 days later he dug it up, replaced the badly bellied, five foot long PVC inlet pipe and also installed two risers. It now works like it should and he saved me untold THOUSANDS of dollars! He was promp, professional and VERY reasonably priced! Highly recommended!!

    Well, after calling Ben and telling him that I had water in my shower and both of my tubs I was…read moretold to go unscrew my sprinkler heads as because of the cold weather the heads were probably frozen. I did that and nothing changed. Called Ben back to have him come out unfortunately in freezing temps only to tell me that all was well and that it would be 100 bucks for the service call. Today same problem and now the pressure built up enough to pop the quik cap off of the cleanout and dump sewage into my yard. A text to Ben gets a reply of oh you have a clog going into the first tank just run a garden hose down the clean out pipe toward the tank. Would have been great to have had this diagnosed correctly and fixed last night before it dropped another 8 degrees into the 10's with snow now falling on the ground and 4" to 6" in the forecast for today. Not exactly sure what the service call to my house was for other than a confirmation of his misdiagnosis of the problem and an opportunity to try and collect 100 bucks only to cause additional issues as now in addition to still having the same problem I called about I'm now going to get to thaw where my sprinklers belong as that was never the problem in the first place

    Total Solutions Decatur Texas overcharged me by 110%, be…read morecareful of the first estimate you are provided! Two residential exterior faucets failed from ice formation overnight because I was unaware they could do so if a hose remained attached cost me $499.99 very similar experience as those below. The Review app seems to take your phone nbr rather than your actual home...I expect these are all from the same plumber Total Solutions My offer to pay Charges Service Call: $72.50 $72.50 By the hour serv. Tech 1.5hrs @ $165/hr $247.50 $165.00 1hr Materials/products 4" Frost Proof hose bibbs 2 - PRIER 1/2 MIP 4 FROST PROOF HOSE BIBB LF 478-04-LF (2 @ $83.00ea) $166.18 2@$37ea*1.30% $96.20 TOTALS $486.18 $333.70 invoiced ($499.99) The total time to repair was less than 45 mins. Your worker was gone for approx. 1hr to obtain parts. Your Service call should have made certain he had these faucets on his truck before traveling to my residence. That faucet is a commodity plumbing item during the winter for plumbing contractors. Early in the visit after he was able to see the faucets the worker had me sign a work order for $237.00 total. He never explained the cost of the units, nor did he mention the travel time will increase that cost by 147.0% to $499.89. Had he done so, I'd have paid the $237 and wrote it off to experience. I'd still have to hire a different contractor but I could get a fair cost estimate b/c I then knew what I was dealing with. Your service took unreasonable advantage of me in multiple ways. The applied travel time to obtain the faucets and their markup costs are exorbitant. The exact part from many vendors is listed online and available locally at a retail price of $36 to $48. In my offer I marked that retail price up 30% over retail cost. Total Plumbing cost was actually less b/c Total Plumbing buys in quantity, to receive a substantial discount. Further, there are less costly, equally effective though perhaps uglier, versions for even less from Total Plumbing vendors. Please refund $145 to my account. If this remedy is not provided, then I never again will use your service, and I will tell my experience to others. Too often, unscrupulous contractors seek to take advantage of elderly customers. I learned now this is NOT simply a misunderstanding by the worker and/or others about fair and reasonable costs, it was an effort to do otherwise.

    Requested service for 2 frozen outdoor faucets. Was quoted $237....got charged $500 by adding all…read morekinds of unfair extras which were never discussed, such as 2x + mark up for faucet valves ( retail $35 ea, charge $84 ea) extra time ( did not have the valves on the truck, so had to go get them. Travel time to Decatur is 10 minutes, charged an extra hour and a half at @ $165.00 per hour) When back, it took him 15 minutes to put them in. When confronting the owner he said charges were fair. So apparently he engages in a very dishonest modus operandi. DO NOT RECOMMEND. BUYER BEWARE.
