Affordable Plumbing And Construction

I initially requested this plumbing service to look at the gas hook up for a new oven, seeing that it was a plumbing company I asked could the technician, Ron ,put in a new toilet, he said yes, he went got toilet ""put it in"" supposedly ""and was supposed to come back the next day and put brackets to support the new toilet, this guy never came back, never answered my phone calla and refused to acknowledge that he did any kind of work for me ,meanwhile the toilet is basically suspended in air with no support, the old corroded flange was left on with a supposedly new toilet, I'm assuming it was new, since he went to ""purchase "" it. I will never do business with them ever, nor will I ever recommend their services, if this is the way they do business, NO THANKS!

Great service/ prompt Reasonable prices. Ron was very professional. Nice to get plumbing repaired the next day!!

This is a scam company that claims to know how to fix things just to take the money and put a bandaid to cover the problem up. Ron was hired to waterproof our basement and took money from us and gave us a ""warranty"" a month and a half later we have the exact same problem when he came out he made other excuses as to why it was leaking and now refusing to repair it. This company needs to be closed down because its a run by criminals who scam hard-working people and have no intention of doing a good job.

This is the most unprofessional experience I have ever encountered. He scheduled an appointment for 9:30 and never showed up! I took time of from work for the morning but ended up needing the entire day. I called several times and he never answered or called back. It is now the day after and he still has not contacted me. I would not recommend this company in any way. From looking at other reviews, I see I am not alone!

There's a reason that he has unclaimed this business on here because he knows he has all bad reviews!!! Ron Engel is the plumber that did my gas line and I now have a leak and it's been a year they told me that it's been leaking he's unresponsive... And I have no stove use... I would not recommend this company he is not prompt And caring about his customers

I don't recommend this company. They were due to upgrade my electrical inside and out. They did the inside and said they were waiting on the electric company to be able to schedule the exterior work, so they split my bill into two parts....even after several follow ups, they never returned to do the outside. I wonder if they were truly certified.

Wish I could go lower than 1 star! I ended up winning an arbitration hearing because of the poor work completed. Naturally this business owner decided not to pay. Photos of the terrible work, owner tried to blame me... Arbitration agreed with me, too bad he won't honor the decision.

Based off 1 purchase of service but numerous touch points. 

WORK TO COMPLETE: Install a water backup sump pump and main sump pump,  both supplied by myself.  

SUMMARY: I paid for a turn key Job and instead:
(1) Within a few weeks of installation the backup system turned on and would not turn off when it rained: Suspect Installation
(2) The door was not put back on.
(3) The area around the sump was not cleaned up
(4) Several NO SHOWS
(5) Attitude

If Interested ,the details are below:

PROBLEM: The pump was installed and within 2 weeks it rained & in the middle of the night the alarms/texts went off for the backup sump pump.  The water backup pump ran continuously.  The main pump would cycle periodically and it seemed like the two pumps were fighting themselves.  There were strange sloshing noises as well.  It was a sleepless and stressful night and following next day. (:  The backup ran all day. I turned it off around noon and waited to see if there was overflow.....none.  Turned it back on the rest of the day just to be sure and then tried again to turn off at night.  No flooding.  I left it off all night and no flooding.  Initially I thought this was because there was no more water to evacuate.  But after thinking about it, there is a good chance the backup was installed incorrectly.  

I called and they sent someone out ~day (+). They stated the main pump was not functioning even though there was water around it so it should have turned on (I learned later via trial that the float has to be covered allot to activate., the main pump was OK) and the 1 way valve was broken letting water enter back into the sump.  They replaced the valve & repositioned the backup so it was above the sump cover; Initial installation had the pump under the sump cover = crammed. The two guys that came out were pretty nice to deal with.  They also installed a shut off valve as the instructions showed (after I asked) that was not present at initial installation.  

They stated the main pump needed replaced and they would be happy to get an exchange at Home Depot so they took the receipt.  THEY NEVER RETURNED! I spoke to the owner about scheduling etc to finish the job and he asked how much he should charge for the main pump installation and we debated a bit via text.  We eventually came to an agreement & he said he would finish the job for free to make sure I was happy. 

During the waiting it rained a few times, and the system worked!  Why?  Because it was installed correctly the second time.  I asked him if he installed per instructions after it was installed initially and he said yes. As there was no separate shutoff valve present as the instructions indicated I was suspicious from the start.

WHILE WAITING FOR THE JOB TO BE FINISHED took some measurements. The distance between the floats @ 1st installation had them too close, 2nd installation was OK. [Since they poured gravel over a layer of dirt instead if cleaning the dirty out there was a few inches lost between the floats.  They put the backup pump under the sump cover @1st installation, with little space so those few inches mattered.  @ 1st install the two floats were very close & likely fought each other.  @ 2nd Install, the backup was above the sump cover surface...increasing the distance between the main and backup pump floats. Buckets of water and rain confirmed 2nd install was OK.

In the middle of waiting for them to return to install the main sump I sent the owner a text telling him the system was OK & to just come seal up the cover, clean up & put the door on.   There were delays by him for scheduling, one was a medical emergency which I was happy to wait...people first.  But then later he didn't show a few times and we had to chase him. 

He acted like he was doing us a favor, jerked us around, missed several appointments & it resulted in my wife waiting for him all day for several days: JOB NOT FINISHED-NO SHOW.
