I had an appointment with MILLER AND SONS PLUMBING, INC on April 14, 2021. I did not really know what the problem was, but I was told that there was a leak coming from my upstairs toilet. The appointment was for the plumber to come and diagnose the problem and fix it. When the plumber arrived he went into the bathroom and checked the toilet. He could not identify a leak. He flushed it and there was no leak visible. He told me that the only way he would have a better idea of what was going on was to go to the bottom unit and cut into the ceiling and see if he could identify a leak that way. After him cutting into the ceiling, they flushed the toilet and still there was no water visible. He noticed a pipe was not connected. He identified that as the problem, and not the toilet. The plumber wrote me an estimate of the price that it would take to fix it. The plumber Diagnose - Toilet leaking into downstairs apartment Tenants state that every time the toilet in unit 12 is flushed it leaks into the downstairs apartment. Service - Description of work Completed. What I did- in this unit 12 I could not exactly find leak until I went to apt 5 and cut hole in ceiling and found part of a drain disconnected. in order to fix I will need to remove more curling and soffett to see all the piping and verify this is only one issue, at this time I will await on their decision of what they wish to do. the work will be done at time and material with a approximant time of 3 to 4 hours , addressing the one broke pipe, if more is discovered it will increase cost to repair. I was charged 140 dollars for him to cut into a roof! His diagnosis was wrong. The association had a plumber verify the problem, and it was discovered that the pipe he diagnosed was not even a water pipe. It was a vent pipe. That issue was fixed, but my issue remained there was a leak coming from my unit and I did not know where it was. The association allowed for their plumber to come into my unit and see if he could figure out where the leak was coming from. That plumber also identified the toilet as not being the problem, but instead there were cracks in my shower drain, that was causing the problem. He could not do the work, but at least now I knew what the problem was. Knowing what I know now, I should have just gone to a new plumber. I called MILLER AND SONS PLUMBING, INC back and scheduled just an estimate, not a diagnosis or anything like that. I had identified my problem, I just needed someone to do the work to fix it. I would like to say, that they even cautioned me that, if fixing the drain did not fix the issue, then they were not responsible, because they did not diagnose it. I received an appointment for May 3rd, 2021 to receive an estimate for replacing my shower drain. SERVICES Estimate - Replace castiron drains. There was a leak. PLEASE CALL on the way!!! I was at the residence on May 3rd, 2021, and I meet with Anthony Wiley of MILLER AND SONS PLUMBING, INC. I can not understand how two people could have been in a one-on-one conversation and this kind of misunderstanding occurs. I was there with Mr. Wiley and I saw him take pictures of my shower drain. I even asked him numerous times how much is was going to cost to fix shower drain. I was quoted around 570. I was really shocked, because the woman over the phone had quoted me like 800 to 1000 dollars. Really to fix my drain? He was like yes, and I do not know why she would have told you a price that high. On May 10th, 2021 I arrived after the plumber had started working. I did not go look and check in on him. I allowed him to continue to work. I wish I would have looked and seen that he was doing the WRONG THING!!!! It wasn't until he was finished that I learned he had been working on the toilet all that time! So upsetting. I was freaking out. I was like there is no way I am paying you for doing this work that I did not ask for. I still needed to have my shower drain fixed, because I had to take care of the leak going into my neighbor's unit. I was told that, if I paid that price today, then it would just be deducted off the price for completing the shower drain. At the time I thought this was a fair deal, because I still needed to fix the shower drain. I was told that there would be a new appointment for them to come give me an estimate on the shower drain. I was like why did I need a new estimate when I just had one for 570? No one came out. I was just sent this new estimate. Demo & Installing New Shower Pan $1,495.00 Deduction This estimate will have a deduction of $580 due to customer paying for previous job that was not what customer wanted. When I got that estimate I was like WTF! I called another plumber and they said that price was way too high. I called MILLER AND SONS PLUMBING, INC back to ask for a refund. They answered once and then stop answering. I then opened a claim dispute, but somehow the still feel justified in taking money from me. These people are crooks!!! read more
