Meetze Plumbing

Had them out to solve a clogged drain. First guy was very diligent and worked hard to diagnose as drain problem caused by roots in underground line. Reasonable bill for this first phase. Next guy who came out declared roots not treatable by grinder and they would have to replace outside line to street for $5600.00. He used camera in line but said no video available for me to see roots. I declined this major work and expense and called another plumber, who used a grinder to eliminate roots, accessing the line through my toilet. Charge: $270.00. Even if roots come back after a year or two, I saved money big time, and who knows if it will be a problem later. I will not use Meetze again.

Toilet need replacing. It was completed on the same day very efficiently. Tired to tip the plumber and he wouldn't accept it. Would definitely recommend.

On Wednesday, August 4, 2021, I called to request a plumber for my rental property to provide an estimate for a leaking toilet. Mr. Vincent Considine was dispatched to come on Thursday, August 5, 2021. I was shocked, SHOCKED, that your company charges $732 labor for a plumber to check for a toilet leak, or to let me know if I need a new toilet. Initially I thought the amount included the toilet, but Mr. Considine informed me that the cost of a new toilet would be added to the $732 plus, he could not tell me what type of toilet he would install. He also told me not to call your office because no one would be able to tell me which toilet would be picked for installation because """"that's how they make their money"""". During his visit, I was not able to meet with him. My tenant asked Mr. Considine to check for a leak under the kitchen sink. Mr. Considine informed my tenant there was a clog in the line. Mr. Considine called to let me know that the piping under the sink needed to be replaced. I clarified if he meant the pipes in the wall, or the pipes under the sink. He said the pvc pipes under the sink that are attached to the pipes coming out of the wall need to be replaced. Mr. Considine never mentioned to me that there was a clog in the line. I asked him the cost to fix the toilet leak and the kitchen sink piping, and I was given the exorbitant price of $1500! I told Mr. Considine I was going to call your office to pay for the service call, but I did not. Mr. Considine asked me if I called. When I told him I had not, he said he would take my debit card information for the $49 service call. The next day I received an invoice for the $49, but I also received an invoice that was not mine. I sent an e-mail to your office about the invoice. A young lady from your office called to let me know there is a system problem in your office, which sends incorrect invoices to customers. So far, I have not been charged for anything on that invoice, which also included pictures that were not of my property. Thursday evening I called another plumbing service to come on Friday, August 6th. I was given a cost of $125 for labor plus parts. I used that company instead. The plumber from that company repaired the toilet for a total cost of $135. I asked the plumber to check the kitchen sink problem. He informed me that he did not find a clog, but he did find a leak in the connection that joined the pvc pipes to the pipes in the wall. He repaired that for me as well. His total cost for the day, which included the toilet repair, was $313. I almost had a heart attack after Vinccent Considine's $1500 verbal quote. I was astonished that the company charges extortionist prices for simple plumbing tasks. I do not understand how Meetze Plumbing can justify charging people those prices.

Of late, I have been very disappointed with Meetze Plumbing. I have been overcharged and advised to have several things corrected that were not relevant to the service I requested. I was charged $89.00 for some annual membership (my word) that waives the 49.00 trip fee. (When the service charges were added, the plumber told me the charge is cheaper with the $89.00 fee). I just believe they overcharge for their services. I would love for this company to operate with honesty and integrity.

Wow! These guys are comfortable charging a lot of money. Maybe it's their pricing model, but $437 for a leaky shower is nearly insane. Now that they've cleared my service fee check, I see they're not even a local company. They are part of some large Kentucky holding mega Plumbing business! Who needs this at all? They could have used the uploaded video to diagnose the problem, but they wanted to charge the $49 service fee, and have the opportunity to look for problems with the hot water heater. If we want to avoid runaway inflation, consumers need to push back against pricing that does not reflect value. These prices reflect the fact that they deal with people who are desperate or totally out of touch with the working class, not with the value of the services that they deliver.

Had Meetze tech come to my newly purchased condo to see if the plumbing was legal and up to par since there had previously been a lawsuit over the illegally plumbed condos when built. Meetze tech said it was illegal and they would need to tear out a wall and blah, blah, blah -- estimate $600.00. Then I got a City Inspector come take a look and he said the plumbing had already been corrected, was perfect and legal, nothing needed to be done. Meetze was going to rip me off for $600.00.

I had a horrible experience with Meetze Plumbing. I am a teacher and single mom and rely on repair people to be honest and not price gauge me. I needed an upstairs toilet repaired (inside rebuilt) and was charged $435 for 45 minutes of work. The plumber did not give me an itemized receipt to reflect the price of parts (which I had already priced at Walmart and were cheap). He also wanted to charge $200 to unclog sink drains ($200 each). My father called the owner on my behalf and Mr. Meetze was extremely rude and unwilling to work with me at all. He said his price was """"his price"""" and he was """"sticking to it."""" I have since learned from a friend who owns rental properties that he had 9 toilets rebuilt for around $1000 in Atlanta. I am furious and feel extremely taken advantage of.

Jason and his partner were great! Very friendly and professional. I was curious about the test they were performing and Jason was very knowledgeable and willing to explain what the test does and why it's done. Meetze Plumbing was super responsive. I called near the end of the work day and they were able to schedule me for first thing the next morning! I definitely recommend them to anyone with plumbing needs! Update: I'm a little bummed out. I still meant everything in my review above and this part was because of my own stupidity. I should've asked how much they charged for the service I needed but I did not because several other companies charged charged a much less amount so I just assumed these guys did as well. My own fault BUT just a reminder to do research...I paid $178 for an annually required test that other companies charge $40 for with the same certifications and licensing:(

I understand COVID is a problem.. but it's been 3 months since they have ordered a handle for my toilet. I've inquired twice for an update and assured they would call back and I've never heard from them..I'm annoyed they have charged me for the entire job completion so they have their money as if they have done the job.. I just would have appreciated an update.

We called because our dishwasher wasn't draining. Shephard came out and fixed it in no time. He was polite, courteous, and very obviously knew what he was doing. They charged us only for the house call on a Sunday no less. Others we has contacted were WAY more expensive. I have Meetze saved on our speed dial from now on.
