Affordable Plumbing, Rooter and Water Heaters

This company was sent out to me through my home warranty service.
The guy came out, gave me his opinion, and left me still with a leak — in order to go back to the office to work up an estimate.
2 days later, they gave me an estimate for $ 1900 for an issue that cost me $ 200 to repair 9 months earlier. (And, after he left– since he left me with the leak-​i personally went to home depot, spent $ 30 and 2hrs time, to stop the leak he left me with)
I would definately get estimates from other companies before using these guys –I’m sure this price gouging is not a fluke.

These guys are GREAT! We would use Affordable Plumbing again and again! We had a major backup of water and determined it was the main line to our septic system. We had Roto Rooter out first. They wanted $ 375. Then we had the «$ 49.95» guys out and it was lots of BS and «now we need to put a camera down the llne» — then we had a third guy out who was told the entire details and we were quoted $ 99 but again «we have to use the camera in the line for $ 200 more.» Then we found Affordable through and online search and good reviews on Angies list.
Their young tech Curtis came out first. He had a hard time clearing the line but he at least found the cleanout (the first three guys could not). He recommended we have the septic pumped which we did (after 15 years) and it still was sluggish so Larry came out in the evening and spent an hour working and working on it and got it! And, he was a gentleman and did not charge additional over the first service call. $ 120 was all I paid. I felt guilty!
I own a small family business and these guys are the same. They get it that customer service and get the job done without the «upsell» — like all the big guys — is how it should be done.

I hired this company to replace a main water line that had sprung a leak. When I met with the estimator/​repairman I specifically told him I wanted a single piece of all copper pipe from the meter to the house. The reason the original line failed was that it was cheaply done with copper and plastic by the builder. I told him repeatedly I wanted ALL COPPER.
When the crew came out to do the job they tried to do a rip off job by using «pex» plastic and copper, saying «oh it’s as good as copper». Fortunately they were being supervised and their scheme was witnessed. I confronted the estimator/​plumber and forced him to come back out and redo the job with all copper.
The crew also left the yard and the neighbors yard a mess.
AVOID THIS COMPANY!
