Draingo of Alabama

A 1 star is being generous. With choice warranty they sent a guy out because the garbage disposal wasn't working. Somehow a shot glass was lodged in it. So a foreign object voided the warranty. Before they came out, the plumbing that we just had replaced was working, now it is clogged, and they don't want to take responsibility for it. The technician was rude, condescending, and snippy. I've done everything they asked and they came back out but didn't fix the problem. They said that I had to get a recall from choice to get them to come back out. This company is a joke. It has been nothing but a hassle and the problem they caused, they won't fix it. Choices answer is we have to file a new claim(which means more $ for them) and Draingo doesn't want to take responsibility for something that they caused as a result of """"fixing the garage disposal."""" We haven't even been able to test the garbage disposal yet. And haven't been able to wash dishes for over a week because of someone else's incompetence. Infuriating situation.

I paid for a one-year home warranty with Choice Home Warranty. I have a tenant in the property and the tenant called me to tell me that there is water coming up from the flooring in the sunroom. Choice Home Warranty contracted the job to Draingo of Alabama and a rep named, Seph, came out and said there is no leak and the water must be coming from a foundation crack, since the water meter was not registering usage. Draingo charged my credit card $76.87 for their service call. A couple days later, I was able to get another plumber to come out and he found a large leak from the hot water line in the kitchen and there is major mold and water damage to a few rooms. Neither Draingo of Alabama or Choice Home Warranty want to take responsibility and even reimburse me for their misdiagnosis service charge of $76.87. I suggest everyone avoid both Draingo and Choice Home Warranty.

***DO NOT USE*** Zero Starts - Madison, AL I have had 2 experiences with this company (via American Home Shield home warranty) and both experiences were fraudulent in my opinion. The first was a simple leak on a water heater. The """"plumber"""" who was sent told me that the installation wasn't done correctly (I bought the house new and this was the first time it needed service, and every other house I've been into in our neighborhood has the exact same configuration) and he told me at least a dozen times """"I'm a plumber, not a handyman"""". Then he called AHS warranty and told them that it wasn't installed properly so they refused to cover it. So I paid my $125 deductible to AHS to have these clowns come out and tell AHS that it wasn't installed properly. Then he offered to replace the entire water heater for about $700 but no part of the $125 deductible would be applied. I then called another company on my own and then came out and fixed the leak for $175 total...that was 3 years ago. The second was today and was a clogged drain line. Again, I paid my $125 deductible to AHS and expected someone to come in, clear the drain, and good to go. But wait!! Drain Go proceeds to tell me that he needs to snake from the pipe on top of my single story roof to a pipe that you can reach from a ladder, and the roof access fee is $275 additional and not covered by my home warranty!! Are you freaking kidding me? At that point I decided to fire Drain Go and AHS and will never consider using either of them again. I called a reputable plumber in the area and guess what, they charge $198 and there is no roof access fee or any other surprise/hidden fees. Drain Go and AHS is a total SCAM. Beware.

If you are trying to file a claim with your home warranty don't call Kenneth at draingo. He's very cocky and rude and I believe purposely sabataged any chance that the warranty would pay claiming improper installation and numerous things on a one year old gas water heater that had nothing to do with the control panel that needed to be replaced. He told me that he could order the part which was going to hard to come by and would cost $150 to $180 pluse $120 an hour for labor. guess what. I got the part the next day from Park supply which they didn't charge me anything for because they had so many from that company that had gone back so they covered it under the manufacture Dont call this company!!!

I had a plumber come out from a different company and didn't fix the problem they said they fixed it. They didn't and wouldn't come back out. I called Drain Co explained the problem and they came out and fixed the issue in 20 minutes. Stayed to make sure it worked. Nick came to the house and he was polite, clean, friendly and knowledgeable. Also cleaned up everything and didn't leave a mess or damaged anything.

I had an appointment scheduled between 12-5 on a Tuesday... They call me at about 6pm that night to tell me they are running late and they can try and get me later that night or tomorrow morning... I say tonight doesn't work Let's do tomorrow but I don't want morning I want afternoon. So the next day comes.. I don't hear from them it's 6:30 and I call. and he tells me that he thought I said evening. I said no afternoon, your schedulers even block hours between mornings and afternoon. The original scheduled time was between 12-5 so when I say afternoon that's what I expect. He then tells me how I'm wrong and I told him the evening. He says your house is far away so it will only be my first or last call...... (which by the way I'm like maybe a mile or 2 away.... he assumed that because I have a Hartselle address I live in Hartselle which in fact I live in Flint....) Don't do business here if you can avoid it because they will just give you the run around and can't be honest and punctual....

Would NOT recommend this company. I had a major leak behind my kitchen sink on 6/8. Drain Go came out on 6/17 & claimed the leak was """"repaired"""". July 3rd I come home to a house full of water. The leak was not properly repaired. It caused water damage to my floors & carpets & even kitchen cabinets. Manager came out on 6/9 & saw the proof that this happened. I had a restoration company there taking up my floors to dry. All the water damage was visible & that still want enough for the company to take ownership of their lack of ability to get the job done properly. Save your time & your money. Most importantly, save your house.

Our kitchen sink was not draining and we tried everything we could do at the homeowner level to get it working. Ultimately had to use our home warranty program and we were assigned Draingo for claim. These guys were great. Very courteous and professional and fixed our problem inside of an hour from start to finish. I would highly recommend Draingo for your plumbing needs. Thanks guys!

Today 8/30 I had Draingo of Alabama come to my Home through AHS my warranty home company come fix draining issues, and faucets issues in the master bathroom and the guest bathroom as well as replace the hose in the kitchen sink. 2 Young men Dr. up to my house my car is in the driveway they felt the need to block my car which my daughter had to go to work so they blocked it with their truck. Anyway till young men came in one with a brown hair and tall occasion and the other one call Kasian as well probably a little bit shorter than the tall one with red hair the way they didn't introduce them southside I'm Jack I'm John I'm Jeff nothing so they come in and I said hey so this is what I have I have of four faucets that need to be to be checked because I lost the pressure washer at the pressure wash on the side of the water pressure and also am I need the sinks to be to be clean because and the two bathtubs he comes in he says no I am not doing that I only have orders to do two Fossetts and you have to get another so I said that's ridiculous that you need another order I said that's going to cost me another $80 for you to come out here and he said that's the way that I said no they are saying my warranty company talk to you as it's up to you why can't you just look at the faucet and they wouldn't do it and the guy would repair come to me and said listen just get something full of vinegar and salt these things and you can pretty much fix the problem and I go and I tell the guy why would you do this why would you go and ask for another order it's going to cost me $80 I don't have that money and he would not listen and then he said that I was yelling at him because my voice got louder but not disrespectful I just couldn't believe it, I was not disrespectful I even apologized and he got up and he said I'm done I am done I'm not finishing this job and he walked out and he said have a blessed day. Funniest thing is that he didn't realize that the warranty company was on speakerphone they had spoken with him and recorded the entire conversation between us! I will NEVER EVER use them again

I just had a great experience with Draingo. Austin and Tyler were the plumbers who were sent to check on the master bathroom toilet that had been leaking around the base when flushed. Austin quickly suspected blockage (wasn't able to clear it with a retriever), so he drained and pulled the toilet, found the issue - a chunk of soap in the line along with a really messy glob of wax from the poor installation of the toilet several months ago - cleared it, put in new bolts to the base where there had been NONE, cleaned up the wax mess, put down new wax, reseated the toilet, then tested it repeatedly to make sure it was working better than it ever had. He was assisted by Tyler who had to make multiple trips down a long run of stairs and then the multiple steps down to the truck on the street. They were both courteous and knowledgeable, plus they thoroughly cleaned up the bathroom floor where they'd been working and hauled off all the trash they had generated. I couldn't be more pleased with the service of these two representing Draingo.
