If I could give them zero stars I would! AVOID AT ALL COST!!!
We need three P-Traps installed at a house we are selling. The original plumbing was done with S-Traps and is not up to code.
I have been trying, with no luck, to find a plumber who wants to work and make some money before the holidays!
Today, I met a plumber with ROOTER PLUS at the house, showed him the existing traps and he said, There is nothing wrong with the way they re done now. He added, They are not up to code but they work fine and there is no issue with them. Bear in mind, these traps have been in place since 1998 (over 17 tears) and have never been a problem, they just do not meet code requirements.
I asked if he would write it up on an invoice and told him I was willing to pay a service fee for his time and he replied, I ll have to call my boss and see what he says. I asked him if he was a plumber and he said he has been a plumber for over 10 years. I asked, once again, if he could simply write up an invoice and charge me a service fee and he said, I m not allowed to do anything without calling my boss first.
After he spoke with The Boss , he photographed all three sinks, the ones that had nothing wrong with them, and texted the pictures to The Boss .
After several minutes The Boss called back and told him that all three traps need to be replaced and for him to Look at the book and give me an estimate.
The plumber went out to his truck and, after 20 minutes of Looking at the book , returned with the following quote to do the job (see below)!!!
Now, I have installed many sinks in my lifetime and I know how to install a P-Trap (it is really easy). I also know how much they cost and where to get them.
Lowe's has the P-trap kit for $3.98 each x 3 = $11.94 plus tax. The Extensions are $3.48 each x 3 = $10.44 plus tax. For a total of $22.38 + 7% sales tax = $23.95 and about an hour of my time to install them, I can have all three traps up to code.
They are obviously taking advantage of people who do not know any better!!!
$1,162.94 for TWO of the three sinks...do the math and it would be $1,745.01 for all three! The tech told me that he gave me a discounted price!!!
STAY AWAY FROM ROOTER PLUS AT ALL COST!!!
