First of all, the largely overweight reddish- headed man never introduced himself. It was explained first to his company and again to him that our home warranty company made erroneous arrangements with my husband for another plumbing company to show up... when they had, the warranty procedure was not followed (not their fault, but the person from the warranty company) and it resulted in the presentation of a $718.00 bill, which prompted my refusal of service. These two from the other company had taken apart my shower faucet and rudimentarily placed it back in the wall; they told me the cartridge "just fell apart in [their] hands". They said they left it that way because it was going to be taken apart again anyway; to me, that made perfect sense. I was made to pay $75.00 for the visit. The reason I did not ask them back is because one of the two would not stop his mask from falling down past his nose and mouth; my 76 y/o Mom lives with me and it was upsetting enough to not reinvite them to play Russian roulette with the health of my family.
With that said, my husband contacted the warranty company and they made arrangements for another company to show up to my home. Plumbtegrity LLC was sent to my home.
It didn't take long for the guy to show, I'll give him that. I greeted him at the door and noticed he was wearing a neck gaiter. Gotta tell y'all, I'm not messing around. I don't take the life of my family for granted. Gaiter noted, I asked him I could give him another mask to wear because the gaiter would not suffice. He went back to his truck and put on a regular mask, emblazoned with the Tx flag. That was appreciated. Upon entry, he was given a squirt of hand sanitizer. I began re-appraising him of the situation for which he arrived and showed him the shower that the other company had been in. The way my shower is situated does not allow for social distancing so I told him I was not going to hover but would be in my kitchen. He acknowledged that.
A very few minutes later, maybe two, he emerges from the room into my hall... he has an expression of discontent. Then we proceed to the other shower, proximal to my elderly Mom. She says hello, he is curt, and her first impression is that he is rude. He looks at her shower faucet handle ( the same as the other one) and exits her area, begins moving to exit my home. He asks exasperatedly, " Did you just have these installed?" with a whine in his voice, as he began moving toward my door. My turn to be exasperated. I told him, "No, I just told you what the situation was." He began leaving and then told me, " I have to call the company and get parts... then I'll be back." I acknowledged that and wished him safety on his travels in consideration of the Covid surge. He then told me, " Me and my whole family had it this summer. It lasted about three days and it wasn't bad." Well, well, well Mr. Neck Gaiter Wannabe, thank you very much for your desired laxity when you arrived at my home. You and your family are not everyone's experience. Wait folks, that's not all...
We waited for some communication; after the second day of nothing, my husband called Plumb"tegrity" for some kind of clue as to what was going on. At that time, he was informed that the guy who came to my home refused to return, citing "he wasn't able to do anything because the other guys took the faucet all apart." That would be the first crack we discovered in that 'tegrity.
My husband then called the first company to inform them of the accusation leveled against them by Plumb"tegrity". He got them to speak to one another in regard to our faucet ( which, by the way, looked cosmetically fine, it just was not working relative to the cartridge!) and the outcome is that the first company stated they had "no idea what he was talking about." That would be the second crack in that 'tegrity, y'all. But there's more!
Let me remind y'all he said he would be back after he got parts. That would be a contractual promise. He said that to my face. That makes his statement a lie. Lies don't convey 'tegrity.
Because of his lie we had to get another plumber. It was quite the wait, particularly difficult for my Mom, but this third company was represented by an awesome plumber who'd been to my home in the past. It took all of about twenty minutes for the cartridges to be replaced. This company was informed of the situation by my home warranty company, because we weren't going to pay another $75.00 service charge; I surmise that was worked out between the third plumbing company and the warranty place.
Upon his exit, he told me, " I have no idea what that other guy was talking about."
Yet another crack in that 'tegrity, y'all.
I have no idea his reason for refusing to return but buyer beware. This guy has cracks in his business "tegrity" and you might be down the drain after calling them. If this business is looking for a certain type of client, they should state that before violating potential customers. read more
