The one star is for this company's representatives showing up on time for appointments. Other than that, I have to be quite honest when I say that my opinion is that this company should not be in business.
Not only did the service technician flood my mechanical room when he came to replace a water filter, damaging framed art that was stored there, without telling me he had done this...
But fast forward a year later when my house was in escrow and the required well report was ordered by my out of state seller, utilizing this company. Big mistake.
The owner of the company stated to me that the well was bad, "a new well needed to be drilled". He also said that the water pressure tank in the home was faulty and gave a quote for almost $3,000 for repairs. There were other negative comments that were made about our property that I won't go into, but that were unnecessary and not related to what his job was.
His negative perspective was shared with my buyer, and who most likely was not familiar with owning a property with a well. Needless to say, because of the owner of Valley Pumps negative report and the way he shared his skewed perspective, my understandably anxious buyer pulled out of escrow!
I ordered a second well report with another contractor. The final report was similar in the water production of the well, however the well report was overall very favorable, as far as what the productivity of the well would be appropriate for, ie, even a family of four, no need to drill new well, etc.
The second well report mentioned that lots of folks would be happy to have a well that produced the less-than optimum amount that our well produced. Second well report also indicated helps for a lower producing well that were optional. In addition, the second well and home pressure tank inspection indicated that it was NOT faulty and not needing an expensive repair!
In summary, and in the end, another buyer came along just two days later and everything went very well. Second buyer had no concerns about the well report whatsoever!
It's a small community and I know people need to earn a living, but the reason I am reporting this is so people will know what my experience was and to shop around! read more
