repair with uponor plastic expandable water pipe fused against copper water line
Arlene M.

I was doing a favor for a neighbor who had a water line burst on her. She had an insurance contract with the water company that covers her in the event of leakage and this company is one of their recommended repair companies. The man who came to her house advised me that after using sound technology the "leak" was actually coming from my property since part of her line crossed over to my backyard. I gave written permission with the understanding thinking that if her pipe was indeed causing backflow into my yard then it must be addressed. The letter the neighbor wrote also indicated that once the work was done Mister Sewer would arrange sometime in the future to have a landscaper come out and repair damage to my yard. The original agreement was written as basic restoration consisting of "soil and seed." Later on when the owner signed off on it the limitations per her insurance contract limited them to basic restoration which was "seed and straw" as well as leveling. I was not given opportunity to initial this change as acceptable since I received a printed copy with the signature and addendum. On the day they did the work and dug up the area as deep as a grave the water line was tested. There was no leakage at all coming from the pipe that was under my yard but rather was somewhere under the concrete below her deck. They completed the project by forcing out the defective copper using an underground snake technique from her water shut off valve in her home. They replaced the line with what they call a superior plastic by Uponor. My understanding was that this pex product expands and contracts and is more durable than copper and will last longer. I did learn that without this insurance the base cost is at least $2500.00. My neighbor was grateful and pleased with the work they had done. I, on the other hand, have to consult other landscapers in order to get the right information on how to properly restore my lawn as well as allow for eventual settlement where the hole was dug. Hopefully in time I will get the information needed and go accordingly. I'm sure they are a fine company to work with but when you are filing an insurance claim they usually use the least invasive means possible and must limit their work and restorations according to the guidelines set by the insurance company. Please be aware of that fact if you are paying a water/sewer insurance premium on your water bill.

Nothing is preventing to repair the break in the line, yet Mr. Sewer creates expensive problems demanding to destroy the wall.

Drain cleaning freeing up clog in underground outside front of house. Cost way too expensive. I…read moreshould have shopped around. Price so high I believe I was ripped off. The manager got in touch with me and refunded $300 which made their price very respectable. The work was completed to my satisfaction. Very pleased.

TERRIBLE - ALL THE WAY AROUND. I would select a negative rating if that was a choice…read more The drain in my backyard was flooding. I have 2 large dogs that bark when the wind blows. The technician said he knocked (lie #1) and that he sat outside on my steps for over an hour (who has time to do that???) He snaked the drain and it got stuck. He tried with everything he had in him to pull it out. It took another good 30 minutes to free the snake. That evening I proceeded to my basement, and much to my dismay....the sludge from the drain in the yard was suddenly in my basement with a hole in the wall. I called back and was told that 2 technicians would be out before the end of the night to run a camera down the drain. The original tech came back and told me to wait until it dries to clean it up - WHAT?!?!? Needless to say..the other 2 never showed up either. The tech said he was off duty but was curious to see what happened. Next day (now 3 days after initial incident) was Sunday, we were told that a SUPERVISOR was coming out by the end of the evening. Guess who came? NOBODY! Monday - we were told that someone would call us (after 1pm) to tell us what time he would be there. They were at the door at 7:30am and my son had to leave for work, so tech could not stay - told us to call when someone would be home and he would be back. I called at 5:15pm and was told that someone was in route to my place. That is a complete contradiction to what I was told earlier, however I was close enough to home that I could get there quickly. Waited till midnight. Not only did they not show, they didn't call either. DO NOT EVER USE THIS COMPANY! I WILL LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW ON THEM ANYTIME I CAN - it is UNACCEPTABLE and UNPROFESSIONAL

It's really hard to find high quality service, especially when it comes to home projects…read more I'm thrilled to say that Revelation Plumbing absolutely excelled in every metric that matters to me. This is truly 5-star service. We had an issue where the pilot on our hot water tank went out and would not ignite. Revelation assured me they could check out my situation within 12 hours, and they provide these really nice text messages to give you precise updates on ETA, allowing the customer to plan their day accordingly. When Mike from Revelation showed up, he spent a little bit of time checking out the issue, and then correctly diagnosed it as an assembly failure. At this point, he laid out my options: replace the part, replace the tank, upgrade the tank (go bigger or go tankless). Mike gave me all the time in the world to sort out what I wanted to do, even allowing me to do some researching on the internet. When I had some questions, he gave me very honest, objective, fact-based responses, and he didn't try to sway my decision one way or the other. I really appreciate how he allowed me to perform due diligence and take my time. Considering that we'll be in the home for a while, I decided to take the plunge into tankless (on account of a recommendation from a friend who did the same thing), and the Revelation crew was able to show up the very next morning. What I appreciate most about the crew was not only their timeliness, but their attention to detail, their conscientiousness, and their workmanship. Luke spent a fair amount of time scouting the area and carefully planning how he wanted to execute this project. He even made some recommendations to me that I hadn't considered while checking in on my own preferences as well. It was almost as if the team had been working in their own house. Once they got started, they took every step very carefully, making sure that they did it right rather than simply got it done and rushed it. The end result was fantastic, and I have zero regrets going tankless. In fact, the first thing I did today was run the dishwasher and the shower at the same time with zero problems. A lot of places try to use high pressure sales or opt for quick-fix solutions that are budget-friendly but ineffective in the long run. There's also a very real communication problem with many businesses, failing to be timely or transparent. Some even have this "your job is too small for me" attitude. I didn't get this vibe from working with Revelation at all. They're one of those companies that have a way of making you feel like you're their only client. I consider Revelation to be part of my go-to "A Team," and given the quality of their work, how they source only the best brands and parts, and how they communicate every step of the way, it's a no brainer to use them for all of my plumbing needs moving forward. I'm so happy we crossed paths.

Our daughter's house in Pittsburgh had a gas leak that could be smelled. Gas company turned off…read moregas - HELP! Revelation Plumbing came out the next day. An 8' piece of (very accessible) pipe would need to be replaced with estimate of $2500!!! I asked how they could justify that price - they said, "we're not as expensive as some companies." I said how much do you get an hour? $400/hour! AND $450 for 8' pipe. We said, no way!" Had job done with new pipe - and inspected by gas company - for $800. Buyer beware of these guys. They also offered to replace our "stack pipe" - drain pipe from upstairs fixtures - for $14K! Why? Because of a leak at the bottom of the stack in the basement. To be fair, though outrageously expensive, they have done decent work for us in the past.

Needless to say, I was on Yelp finding someone else for a 2nd opinion. Jennifer at Metz called me and messaged me right away to view video footage and get something scheduled. I was able to call, text, and email her as often or as little as I needed to and ALWAYS received a response. The communication was exceptional from start to finish. Someone came out that same week to take a look and give out a timely estimate. This company does offer financing, although we did not use it. The quote was less than half of what the other company had quoted us. We got a straight forward diagnosis, with honest pricing, and reliable service. The team came out on the day they were scheduled at the time they were scheduled. They were able to complete our project in only 2 days. Extremely efficient, and walked my husband through what they were doing and put us at ease with what still needed to be done. The pictures and reviews from myself and everyone else speaks for themselves. While I hope to never need more restorative services on my property (LOL), if I ever did, I would 10,000% use Metz again. I will be recommending them to anyone I know who needs it. Absolutely amazing!
