    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    Hired CAPPS Plumbing in October of 2022. Today is May 20 2023. We had a basement flood where water was coming out of the floor drain and we called them in to assess and fix the problem. They quoted us $14,000 to do a full overhead sewer conversion. We agreed and had them proceed with the work. *** came to do the work and they added to the cost to $18,000 because material cost went up. Then $20,000 cause they needed to bring in the electrician. Then they went up to $28,500 due to unforeseen circumstances that they should have seen since they went into the pipes with a camera. We ended up paying the final $28,500 for them to complete the work that they recommended to make sure my basement doesnt flood again. When they left my house, they damaged drywall when they were climbing in and out of the egress basement window and hid it with blankets and debris. There was also a smell of sewage that they did not address until the city told them they needed to come back and seal up any open pipes and get rid of any sewer gases. They came and sealed some up but left others because there is still a smell. Today, I called them because my basement was getting water again coming from the floor drain. They came out and checked the issue. They refused to fix the issue unless we paid them another $750 to clean the ejector pump bucket and hopefully that works saying that the ejector pump THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO EJECT P*** AND WASTE AND SINK MATTER FAILED AND IT WAS OUR FAULT because there was waste in the ejector bucket. THEY REFUSED TO WARRANTY THEIR WORK THAT WE HAD ALREADY PAID $28,500 FOR THEM TO FIX and wanted more money from us!In the end we lost $28,500 and we still have the issue that was supposed to be fixed to begin with which was water coming out of the floor drain. We do not want the company to come back and fix the problem anymore because we dont believe they will do anything in good faith.We prefer to hire someone else to properly fix the issue.

    Capps plumbing replaced my 86 year old widowed mother's water heater and charged her $3023.00. The work was performed on a Friday afternoon. I got quotes after the work was done for $1500 and another for $1550.00 I spoke to the owner and he said there was a mistake and offered a small refund if I removed my review. I just want people to know that I believe they took advantage of my Mom and I encourage people to get quotes from companies other than Capps.

    *****, we appreciate the opportunity to have discussed the work performed for your mother and are sorry we weren't able to come to an amicable resolution. We did offer a partial refund for her services. Unfortunately, we couldn't come to an agreement. We respect your right to a second opinion and always recommend our clients make the best decision for them and their budget. You mentioned these price comparisons during our phone call, and they were for a tank installation during regular business hours which is comparable to our price. However in this case, we performed the work on emergency and installed various parts to bring your mom's tank to State code. If you are able to get a quote that is an exact comparison, we would be happy to review it and discuss this matter further. Thank you!
