We had a broken water main therefore our water to the house was turned off. An employee from N. Saanich plumbing came on Friday to give us a quote but it was going to be a big job as we couldn't locate where it was broken, maybe it was under the foundation's? He got his boss on his mobile speaker phone, I was standing nearby and he was unaware, he explained the garden size and layout, large landscaped property etc. The owner replied to him that "this is going to be an expensive job, 10, 20, 30K so do you think these folks can afford it? otherwise I'm not going to waste my time going over to give a quote!" the employee (who seemed knowledgeable) spent time telling us about options using big machinery $350/ hr and left saying that the owner would be around on Monday to give us a quote. He never showed up. Not only that, no one even called to say they couldn't come, or say they were too busy. Nothing! So rude and unprofessional. When you don't have any water it's irrelevant as to whether you can afford it, it has to be fixed. Luckily for us I had another local plumber scheduled to come on Monday to give a quote, he did show up and he did find the broken pipe, without big machinery ripping up the lawn and flowerbeds and at a fraction of the price that N Saanich plumbers had been overheard suggesting.
We now have a fabulous plumber for all future work. As for North Saanich Plumbing be prepared ( It seems they like to use expensive options) to be overcharged or left high and very dry! I would give - rating if possible read more
