    Status:
    Answered
    On March 18 ************************************** my home by a1 plumbing. I personally dont use the downstairs bathroom, therefore it was a while until I found out that there was no hot water to this bathroom. When I realized this, I contacted a1 plumbing to inform them. ****, the owner, wouldnt even listen to my complaint. His only concern was that I still owe him money. He said, how can he uphold the warranty I was supposed to have when I still owe money. I happened to have another plumber come to my house who made me aware that the hot water was capped off (it wasnt capped off on my original water heater. We had hot water to the bathroom). I still have the old water heater that shows the split pipe that the hot water was hooked up to. Also, this plumber said the work is not up to code. No straps. No expansion tank. I waited a couple weeks til I had the remaining balance I owed in order to get **** to honor the warranty that A-1 plumbing said I have. He still kept saying that he will not come. He kept insisting the job was done right. I even offered that if he would give me a date within a reasonable amount of time (in writing) I will trust him and pay the balance. He still refused. I have since come to find that he did not obtain a permit for this work as well. I am so saddened by all of this. I feel it should have been so simple. He comes and fixes the problem. I pay him. We all go on happily. I dont know what else to do. I have sent numerous emails. Now I am being ignored. I will have to take time and effort to make official complaints with the city. But that is STILL not the route i wish to proceed. I just want him to have integrity and honesty. And to simply fix what isnt right. Thats all.

    Having American home shield home warranty a one plumbing was called out to replace kitchen faucet after job done plumber left water all over the place housekeeper cleaned up water called for a comeback thinking something was leaking that came back stated that the plumbing was rotten and needed to be replaced For $600 then it went down to 499 then it went down to how much money do you have policy with American home shield is to call For new workorder to repair damaged pipes . Management stated that the money negotiation was regard policy that they will work with the customer to lower the price my interpretation is they scam American home shield and they scam the homeowner for more money I told AHS that I will no longer have A one plumbing enter my house or my mother's house on a home warranty repair. My impression is that they teach their plumbers to try to extort money but it's God's policy to ask for money.
