      Answered
      Catons plumbing was hired to clear a clogged sewer line at my home. We discovered the old cast iron pipe was clogged and need to be replaced. I hired Catons to do a pipe bursting. They conducted to pipe bursting, using a subcontractor. I discovered after the job was complete that there was an additional bathroom connected to that sewer line that was not identified in Catons assessment and the pipe bursting disconnected it from the main sewer line. This was discovered in early July of this year, it is now October and Catons has not repaired it, I call the manager Greg at least once a week and he only responds after 3-4 attempts, then he says they are waiting on something and doesn't contact me for two more weeks. We have been unable to use this bathroom and shower for 2.5 months.

      I hired Catons plumbing for sewer line replacement work due to root invasion. They came forward to do a free camera inspection to ascertain where the fault is. I got "carried away" by the nice talk of the marketing person and got a opinion these are real professionals. Then they told this work would cost me 10K+. I negotiated and they reduced (!) 20-30 dollars to bring it as round figure 10K. They kept postponing the dates due to various reasons after getting 3K as advance from me. Then one final day, they did the job and immediately got the remaining 7K from me. They just scribbled in a small receipt note and gave it. I was promised 5 year guarantee. When I asked for the final invoice, they kept dodging. Then then office assistant Trinity replied the "system" can not generate a final invoice (heard that?). After multiple failures and voicemails, one day I could speak to her and yelled at her stating that if she is not providing a formal final invoice bill or receipt 10K, I am going to inform IRS and leave negative reply in BBB. Then she had to send it. The 5 year verbally agreed warranty is now changed to 1 year. I had to waste my time and undergo mental tension just to obtain an invoice for the amount I paid. Such an unprofessional company. I am no sure about the quality of work done. Please try to stay away from this company.
