    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Unanswered
    On January 14, 2023 I contacted Powers Plumbing to repair a leak at *******************************************************. On Jan 16, *********************** went to repair the leak and stated that he had tested repair and there were no more leaks. Several days later, tenant reported that there was still a leak. On Jan 23, **** went out again to repair leak and stated that he tested for leaks and found none. Additionally, appointment was for 12 noon and he invoiced for 4 hours but 1.5 hours were billed as labor after hours which should not have applied as he should have finished at 4 p.m. Several days later, tenant reported that there was still a leak. On Feb 1, **** went out again for more repairs but again, several days later tenant reported leak. I complained to ***************************** and asked why after three visits, **** had still not been repaired. He promised to send a different tech. On Feb 23, *********************** went to unit and reported that leak was coming from a different place than any of the places that had been repaired by ****. On Mar 2, ***** went to unit to repair leak. In light of the above and major inconvenience to tenant that five different visits caused to fix a leak, I subtracted the labor amounts paid for *********************** ($1,567.50) from the final invoice and sent remaining balance of $562.50 with attached letter of explanation. Powers Plumbing accepted payment but was only willing to give partial credit and has been invoicing me for balance of $895.99. I offered to split the difference and pay $448.00 to close out account. They refused to make the billing adjustment. Since they never fixed the leak I originally hired them to, I believe my offer is fair. Attached are letter of explanation and all invoices. My desired resolution is to pay $448.00 to close out account.

    Avoid this company at all cost! (similar experience to the last review posted here on BBB - Owner showed NO interest to resolve customer complaint)I have work contracted out with Powers Plumbing for a client in the past. They did a ok job. So I called them again. The dispatcher only told me they charge $169/hour. Long story short. 1. They did NOT inform me of the driving time they charge. 2. When I arrived on site 35 min after the plumber arrived, he had done NOTHING - the scope was laying around on the driveway and ladder was still in his truck and he had keys from the lockbox in his hand. I stayed on site for a full hour. 3. Then I was charged for two hours of work! WORST OF ALL, when I questioned the 2 hours were charged, the ***** called me - not to apologize for omission on their part or LISTEN to my observation and account for the hours at all, but to continue to defend for the 2 hour charge. No CUSTOMER RECOVERY. He was focusing on winning an argument. It's really a shame to see that happen in service business, especially with the ***** of the business - which tells you a lot about the business!To save myself from more angst and misery, I OFFERED TO PAY HIM FOR GETTING NOTHING BACK, just to get him off my back and not wasting MORE TIME on his ego over the business matter at hand.It may have been a long standing company as they claimed, but the current ***** is not in the right mindset to run it or to OWN it.
