Kintex Plumbing

The young lady answering the phone here lacks basic communication skills. When I ask to speak to someone that knew what they were talking about she hung up on me. What a joke!

Was assigned this plumbing company from our home warranty company. The tech showed up in an unmarked van, looked at our weak flowing toilet, when he flushed it and it almost overflowed he attempted to shut off the water from the back, when the water went down he said there's nothing wrong and didn't fix it. We showed him some water damaged leak spot in the master bathroom we believed to have been caused by the upstairs bathroom, he ran the water and didn't see the water leaking then said he can't fix it if it is not leaking, even though you can see the water spots and feel the softened drywall. The tech acted lazy and just didn't want to be there to do his job. I would give this company zero star if I could, but since the lowest is 1 star, they could have it because the guy did bring his own shoe covers.

Worst plumbing company ever. Ever. Ever. They can't fix anything, don't answer the phone or return messages. Six visits over four weeks to get a sink fixed. Can't get them to fix my toilet and they won't take my call!!! You're better off with not fixing your problem at all then having them "help" you.

Seems that if you call the home warranty and you get them they really try to for lack of better words "screw you" called in for a couple plumbing issues. Tech comes out looks around with his hands in his pockets, sees the spots on our ceiling, was told by my husband was a water heater pipe leak, pokes his head in our attic, sees the insulation (not sprayed insulation btw), then tells my husband that he will need to tear our ceiling out to get to the pipes because we have insulation. He stated that he'd be back once we cut open our ceiling. My husband assured him that he wasn't tearing our ceiling up and he left and never even addressed our other issues. The Tech had a horrible attitude the whole time he was there. Showed up in an unmarked van. Again the worst experience with a plumber ever but we have only used Sam the plumber with past issues and they have always always given us the best service so that is what we are comparing. Didn't use this time because recently got a home warranty unfortunately. Calling home warranty, requesting someone else and that they never send this company out again.

If it was possible to give them a zero I would. I used the Kintex plumbing in Florida. They were set up with me because my home warranty company referred me to them. I suddenly had a bad leak of water in the bathroom coming from the bath tub. It was sending water onto the floor and making the floor wet every time I turned on the tub. The tub was being used about 3 times a day for the entire 2 years I have lived in the house. They sent a plumber that had a major attitude, kept complaining about how hard the job would be, how much work was involved, and clearly seemed like he did not want to do this. It clearly seemed like he was trying to get out of doing the job. He even said I should call the company that made the bathtub. In any case, he said some piping and parts were needed and he would get back to me. The next thing I know, the home warranty company calls and says that the plumber thought the leak was months old and they would not cover it. Really??? Who would have water pouring out from under the bath tub for months and not call for repair. That is beyond absurd. The tub was used daily for the 2 years I lived there, with no leaks at all, or of course I would have called if there was. If the guy was either lazy or incompetent or both, they should just have not taken the job and charged me a fee. They caused problems with the home warranty program because of their poor plumbers. This was an active leak with water visible and getting the floor wet and they were called the day it happened. I highly suggest to NEVER USE THIS COMPANY and if you are referred to them by your home warranty company, refuse them and ask for someone else. You can not do worse. Their plumbers are incompetent, lazy, unprofessional, and really do not know what they are doing.

RESPONSE to comment by owner:
What you say is not true or relevant. You do have control over the coverage company because you are acting as their agents, they send you out, you are paid, and you make a the plan for them to follow. They use you as their eyes and opinion. When you send out someone with an attitude, that is lazy and does not want to do the job, lies about what the problem is, and tells that to the coverage company, they will use that as an excuse not to cover something that anyone with a few brain cells would know is an acute problem. There is a leak, it just started, there is water on the floor, there was not water there before. Your employee says it was there for a long time, and that is absurd. Anyone with common sense would know that I am right and your employee is wrong. It shows you hire incompetent people that have poor judgement and are a poor reflection on your company. The problem is, it affected me and would affect anyone that is foolish enough to use your company. If you were a legitimate company, you would care about this and the other negative ratings about your company to try to avoid this happening. You are not offering to fix it, I even called to see if you would send someone else out, and you did not. Bottom line, the guy you sent is incompetent and unprofessional. You are making excuses for him, so therefore that behavior is ok with you. You offered nothing to fix it, so again, anyone considering using your company should run and choose anyone else.

I called them in for a blocked shower through my Home Warrant company. The technician they sent called and said he would be there in 15 min. An hour later no sign of him. I call him and he says again I'll be there in 15 and was finally there 45 min later. He looked at the shower, took a little plastic tool and took a ball of hair out and said that was my problem. I asked him if he was sure and whether he needed to snake the pipe and he said no. Next morning I have the same issue and calll them back. They were not able to come out for 4 days although this was a job not done properly. I schedule for the next available date but literally the next morning, the shower has sewer coming out of it. When I called them they lied and said technician snaked the pipe and this is a new problem and would not be covered etc. besides them not accepting responsibility the woman on the phone was extremely rude and yelled at me. Will never use them again

This company was dispatched to my house by American Home Shield to diagnose a garbage disposal and dishwasher backup. The company mysteriously cancelled my appt for the previous day stating that they had left me a voicemail and did not get a call back. I did not have a voicemail or missed call from them. And I now had to wait another day to resolve my issue. Anyway, the technician arrived after the 8:00-12:00 window. Who doesn't love sitting around all day waiting for a repairman? Once he arrived, he was very rude. Didn't say anything at all really. Took one short look under the sink and went to his car to call AHS. AHS called me and stated that the technician reported "misuse and abuse" of the disposal. He reported "there's a refrigerator worth of food in the disposal". Well of course there is...it's freaking clogged and a weeks worth of food is coming back up! That's why we called you! If it was working correctly, I wouldn't need you. The tech never came back in the house to explain anything to us. I'm assuming AHS told him how mad we were and he just drove away. Terrible customer service. Terrible experience with this company and AHS. Will not use or recommend them to anyone.

SO very bad! Had three different issues with them, initially there was just one! Every time they left there was a new problem. Had to talk to them over an hour and they still charged me for three visits. RUN! They could care less about the customer! The TECH used horrific obscenities!
USE someone else!

I had a bathtub backing up at my apartment last week, and I got this company recommended by a friend. The plumber that came out was really helpful, we had a bit of a language barrier but he was really fast and efficient. He was in and out in no time! He managed to clear the drain line and haven't had any problems since then! Thank you guys at Kintex! You are all true life savers! I will definitely be recommending this to company to my family and friends!
