This company was contracted by the condo HOA thru the Property management May 8 2024 for jetting services on the entire first floor of our building. At the time supervisor LT brought an apprentice Trevor and left him to do the work while he works on another unit across. Trevor goofed by disconnecting a hose and flooded the kitchen on final testing. My tenant is the one who noticed bec he did not know it flooded due to protective gears he's wearing and only paid attention to the bucket he was filling. Incident escalated and summoned LT from what he's doing, and the property management was contacted while damage is underway. Plumbing Joint did not pay anything for the damage because LT twisted his story and it was conveniently used by the Plumbing Joint to AVOID responsibility. LT's story implied that the disconnected hose was done on purpose by unit occupant and that tenant did not clear the path under the sink never mentioned in his story that he left his trainee (Trevor) to do the work unsupervised. Property Management downplayed the flooding incident also but arranged for mitigation same day which resulted to cutting and opening infected dry walls. Mitigation process took a week and a half to complete and cost the condo HOA $2,400 and my out of pocket cost of $2,500 to repair the damage which took six (6) months to find someone to fix the damaged areas. Insurance claim went all the way to intercompany arbitration but because it was labelled he say/she says so the company avoided paying. I will never let anyone from this company do work in any property of mine even ongoing maintenance contract via the Property Management or HOA unless one or the other signs off on pre-work condition. I will give this company minus -1 star if I could. This company's sorry excuse for "customer service" inspired me to write this review. STEER CLEAR

I wish I would have read the reviews before hiring The Joint Plumbing. I am very disappointed not only by the quality of service, but the lack of responsiveness, and manner of professionalism. Attached photos to show the poor quality of work. STAY AWAY!!!! I hired Joint Plumbing to install a whole home water filtration system. They came to my home, took off twice for materials and still left a pile of garbage that needed to be torn out and installed by professionals (see attached). They did not mount the filtration system to the wall and left the main water line dangling flimsy in place. The very next day, they sent a "Leave a review for $$" email, no wonder they have any 4-5 star reviews at all. STAY AWAY!

Sewage spill

Original customer service on the phone was great. Friendly and helpful. Unfortunately....We just had someone out to empty our septic tank. Our appointment was at 4pm. When I scheduled I was very clear that I wouldn't be home until 4pm. They showed up almost an hour early which meant I wasn't home and my husband had to leave in the middle of a meeting to help them. The cost ended up being $880 when we were qouted $699. The mess that was left behind was outrageous and disgusting. One of our dogs immediately rolled in it, which was even more disgusting. Very very disappointed in The Plumbing Joint and will definitely go elsewhere next time.

Metal bar spiked into generator pad

I recently had a whole-house generator installed. The Plumbing Joint Inc. was the sub-contractor for the gas piping to the generator. Because they were the sub-contractor, I had no contact with the office, customer service, or any staff other than the plumbing Technician (and a "trainee") they sent out to do the work. The job involved running gas piping through the crawl space, penetrating out through the wall of the house, dropping down into a pre-dug 2ft trench that went out around behind the generator, then coming up and connecting into the back of generator. When the Technician "finished" the job and left, I had numerous issues with what he had done. I contacted my Project Manager, who contacted The Plumbing Joint Inc, who then sent out the same Technician who had created all the problems in the first place. I had hoped they would send out a different, more qualified Technician to make the corrections - after all, the original guy thought he had done it "right" the first time, so why would the company think he would be capable of even identifying let alone fixing these problems ??? Wanting to be fair, I had my Project Manager, a general contractor neighbor, and my own plumber come over and look at the situation prior to this second visit. All agreed that it may functionally work to deliver gas to the generator, but overall the job was unacceptable. The Technician returned for the 2nd visit, and I pointed out all the issues that had been identified. For each item listed he blamed the "trainee" for having done the work. After 1.5 hours, the Technician said he needed to order another "part," and would schedule to come back for a 3rd time. After he left, I discovered that he had spent the time digging under the corner of the generator and undermining the pad. I later discovered the damage done to the new insulation in the crawl space. At this point I decided to cancel any further work on my property by The Plumbing Joint Inc. Instead, I had my own plumber make the corrections/repairs, and re-do the gas piping in the trench from the house to the generator. My list of issues: Cut the strings and tore down parts of the NEW overhead fiberglass insulation in the crawl space Knocked the foam sleeves off of water lines in the crawl space Failed to paint exposed black iron (=rust) Trapped my garden hose behind the gas pipe Gas pipe was expected to exit the house and run parallel to the already installed electrical line - it did not Metal bar spiked into the corner of the generator pad, potentially weakening the integrity of the pad Large wad of tracer wire left wound around the pipe above ground Rather than follow the existing trench, dug under the corner of the generator and undermined the pad by 7" Piled the dirt from his digging up on the pad and up against the side of the generator Did not caulk any of the wall penetrations PHOTOS: 1.

This was my first time hiring 2 Sons Plumbing & Sewer. I picked them due to their immediate…read moreavailability, flexibility for doing two separate plumbing jobs on one visit, and positive reviews on Yelp. The work I needed done was the installation of a 50-gal electric hot water heater (plus haul away of the old one) and the diagnosis/replacement of a corroded waste line connector for a garbage disposal. When I set up my appointment, I made sure to clarify that I wasn't going to be charged for the service visit, or additionally, for any diagnostic steps. Keep this in mind if you're considering them because it's probably a better idea to go with a plumbing company that won't charge you just to come out and physically look at the work you want done. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry, not because something was broken, but due to the fact that completing the work quickly was pivotal to getting a condo sale to the finish line. I was able to schedule my appointment for as early as Monday despite making the initial contact with 2 Sons Plumbing on Thursday (they could've come sooner, but I opted to avoid the extra "rush" or weekend fees by waiting until Monday). One thing I didn't like about their business model is there's no upfront cost for general jobs (i.e., install a hot water heater) or any idea of hourly charges. For instance, with Lowe's and/or Home Depot, I could call and get quotes for this type of work from their subcontractors. Going through Fast Water Heater (Lowe's preferred subcontractor), a 50-gal water heater installation might run between $2,200 and $2,400 depending on the model of hot water heater (the purchase of which is included in the quote). I ended up buying a new water heater from Home Depot ($871 after taxes) a couple of days prior to my appointment with 2 Sons Plumbing, and hauling it up a few flights of stairs to the condo in order to save money. I would later find out that, had I bought the 50-gal electric water heater carried in the back of the 2 Sons Plumbing Truck, it would've cost $3600 (I have no idea why it was this expensive). In the end, I paid 2 Sons Plumbing $1870 after taxes for the installation of the Home Depot Water Heater and haul-away of my old one ($2700+ if you include the price of the hot water heater I bought on my own). In addition to the hot water heater install, I ended up paying for a new garbage disposal plus its installation because the corrosion in the waste line was so bad that new parts were needed (which they didn't have). It made more sense to just replace the whole thing (current garbage disposal was 10+ years old)--This came out to $786.88 after taxes and a 3% convenience fee for using a credit card. Overall, it was a good experience thanks to the knowledge/prep work I had done for 2 Sons Plumbing before going with them. The final cost to me certainly had the potential to be much higher had I let 2 Sons Plumbing provide or do everything. The job took about 6 hours to complete, and I paid in the ballpark of $2500 for the hourly rates (?) plus the purchase of a basic garbage disposal and a minuscule amount of parts. I overheard that the general hourly rate is $400, so what I paid aligns with that. The amount of contact and post-job follow up documentation I received (emails; texts; invoices; etc.) was thorough but also annoying (I.e., solicitation for reviews). All things considered, here's how I'd rate things: Availability/Communication: 5/5 Cost: 2/5 Technician: 5/5 Invoice/Follow-up: 3/5

Counting the business owner, three plumbers came today. This time my initial request was to replace two faucets. The plumbers who came to give an estimate a week ago discovered that the cold water valve needed replacing. Notice must be given to building residents 3-4 days in advance of water shutoffs per my HOA rules. A few months after the first time I needed this plumbing company, a contractor working on remodeling my kitchen should have found the valve problem. But since he did not, the silver lining is the quality of the work by this company. I have complete faith that the replacement valve will work perfectly since they installed it. They showed me the plastic valve they replaced and how it would not turn at all. We all liked the faucets I chose for them to install. In the bathroom my glass waterfall faucet has LED lights to indicate cold, warm and hot water. After installing it the plumber showed me a video of the lights working before I went in to try it myself. The kitchen faucet is a Moen which looks nice to start with, and has some great functionality. As the handle is turned for the water the head floats down a little. Then it is possible to select an angle for the head to remain, for example 45 degrees. It will stay in the selected position while the water runs. The owner took a video for himself! Besides the top quality of the work, I appreciate the polite and respectful manners of the owner and all the plumbers.
