We hired this company to repair a gas line for our outdoor grill. On 6/15/20 the plumber arrived earlier than agreed upon (he was supposed to give a 30 minute heads up phone call...he arrived 10 minutes after the call and before I was even home. He didn't have the part needed so instead of calling us and leaving, he sat in his truck and smoked for 20 minutes (billing us for the time). He returned 5 days later to attempt to complete the repair. He arrived and 9:02 and left at 11:17am. At 10:52am he stepped through my 15 foot living room ceiling, leaving a huge hole. He immediately called my husband and said it wasn't his fault. He proceeded to "clean up" for almost another 30 minutes (while still billing us for that time). My husband had to leave work early (again, costing us money), and I spent all afternoon trying to find someone to repair the drywall. The damage for repair and painting was 500.00. I called Professor Plumb the next business day to ask how much our bill was. Chase stated that it was 3 hours worth of work totaling 350.00. Over 45 minutes of that time was the plumber sitting in the van smoking on the first day and after he stepped through our ceiling on the second day. He had only actually done 2 hours worth of "work" (10 minutes on 6/15 and 1.45 hrs on 6/19). The gas line still wasn't repaired!! He said there was a leak after working on the second day. I called every day for 5 days and spoke to an employee named Chase. I asked for the owner to call me. He never did. Chase said the owner attempted to call on Wednesday 6/24. I never had any missed calls or messages. So in summary two hours of actual work was done at 116/hour=232.00. The damage to the ceiling was 500.00. Professor Plumb owes me 268.00. I am out 268.00 for a job that wasn't completed. The owner will not contact me and will not pay for the repairs. Please spare yourself a lot of heartache and choose another plumbing company. read more
