              04/02/2024

              OMG HORRIBLE! Had a minor leak from the shower trim so I called and the "plumber" came the next day. He cut a huge hole in my bathroom wall to get the leak fixed which wasn't necessary. After 3 hours, he claimed the leak was fixed without showing me. When I went to give my son a shower, I noticed water pouring out from behind the faucet and the spout below. NOTHING was done professionally and now I have an even bigger problem than the initial minor leak. The "managers" are useless because you can't get a hold of them. I've sent several emails and now they just stopped responding. I was charged $1128 for nothing. A 2nd plumber came, spent several hours trying to fix what the 1st plumber damaged, but he was unsuccessful. He claimed he was talking to a manager "*****" and it was up to him what the next steps are. It was not his call. The plumber said I should get a refund, to request it when "*****" calls. He was suppose to call me that same night and since the initial problem but I NEVER heard from him. The plumber also said that the company will send restoration to make sure the leak didn't cause any serious water damage to my walls. They have to cut an even bigger hole to the bathroom wall in order to get the problem solved, but that they wouldn't be the one to fix the wall. That would have to be my problem to get that hole tiled. So who would have to pay for that? The "manager" doesn't want anything to do with this so now he just stopped emailing. The "manager *********************" said that he would call back, but never did & said he was "out of town". This is what they claim: "Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Emergency plumbing needs? Trust Benjamin Franklin for fast, effective service. Call Us Now. Trained, certified plumbers - expert, reliable & always on time. Get $5/Min If We're Late! At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of *****, we provide our clients with efficient and high-quality plumbing services, making the process as convenient as possible" That is definitely all a LIE!
