I Got Your Six Plumbing

Jacob S.

I don't even know where to begin with this review, and I don't usually write reviews this long. To give a bit of context, my wife and I found out she was pregnant with our first child in February 2022. We decided to remodel our bathroom before our little man got here because we had always talked about it and saw this as our last chance to do it. We started the remodel in March, which consisted of knocking down some walls to turn our bedroom into a master bed and bath.
I came across ""I Got Your Six Plumbing"" on google for Mountain Home, Idaho. Given how hard it is to find a reliable contractor and one that returns your calls, I was pleasantly surprised when Damien (I got your six plumbing) in Mountain Home, Idaho gave me a callback. My initial interactions with Damien seemed great. He appeared and spoke professionally and put on the veil of being a small business owner and family man. I was initially relieved, thinking I found a solid plumbing contractor to do this work on the bathroom so it would be done. I explained the situation with my wife being pregnant and that the bathroom needed to be finished by June. There needed to be more than one functional toilet in our house, as we had family coming into town. Damien assured me it would not be a problem and that he would have it done before June.
I asked Damien (I got your six plumbing) if I needed to pull a plumbing permit for him while pulling an electrical permit for my work; Damien told me he would take care of the permit. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AT ALL...Damien (I got your six plumbing) gave me the original estimate and quote for the work and informed me he required half of the payment upfront to start the work and the rest once the work was done. I paid him the first half of the payment, which was approximately $2185.40. Damien came to the house and picked up the check on May 10th; at this point, he was still using the façade of being professional and caring. After picking up the check, Damien (I got your six plumbing) told me he would start work the next day; I never heard from him, and he didn't return my text message when I told him I was home and waited for him. Damien came to the house a few days later. After he left, he did not clean up any mess he made by cutting pipes and just left things lying everywhere, which I had to clean up. Damien was very inconsistent and flaky throughout the entire time. This is where I shouldn't have been so trusting and naïve, I didn't go under the house to check his work, and I trusted his word. I paid Damien the second half of $2185.00 after he told me there were only minor things for him to finish but the work was done.
At this point, I knew I had been conned. Damien got paid and no longer saw the job we hired him for as a priority. I could write another three paragraphs of the excuses Damien tried to sell me on why he couldn't come to finish the job. Because he was so busy and a one-man crew or his car broke down, the excuses started piling up. This was putting undue stress on my pregnant wife, which Damien could have cared less about; he got paid.
After Damien flaked countless times, I got two other plumbing contractors to look at the work and give me an estimate for them to finish the job. This was when I was told by TWO separate plumbers that Damien had done everything wrong, not remotely within code. He used pipe fittings horizontally that were made to be installed vertically. Damien didn't put enough ventilation pipes in, and the list continues. I had an Idaho state inspector come and look at everything, and he advised me that the work was done completely wrong.
Thus, the inspector sent a notice to Damien (I got your six plumbing), which told him he was in violation. After everything Damien put us through, including stealing our money, he texts me after he got the notice from the state to tell me how this has caused many problems for him.
Long story short. DO NOT HIRE ""I got your six plumbing."" The owner and ""journeyman plumber"" Damien is a con man and will mess up the job you hire him for, steal your money, and is an absolute fraud. I wish I hadn't trusted Damien and his fake façade. My wife and I are now at a loss of close to $7000.00. Our only recourse would be to take him to court. Damien (I got your six plumbing) won't refund us the money he scammed us out of. I recommend you save yourself the trouble and find someone else no matter how desperate. The only way to stop shady contractors like Damien (I got your six plumbing) is to stop hiring them, so they can't take advantage of people. We're not the first ones he has done this to either. I found multiple reviews where he did what he did to us to countless other people. He already had one plumbing ""business"" in Mountain Home, Idaho that he had to close due to similar circumstances. So, this is the SECOND business he opened to start scamming people again. Don't give your time or money to this scam artist and find a different plumber.

Damian came out and redid the plumbing in our entire house. He was suppose to come back and do some more work. We paid for work to be done and he never did it. He stood us up twice and didn't answer his phone when we tried calling. I would not recommend him for any plumbing job!!
