      Status:
      Unanswered
      Hello, I am filing a complaint against Mr. ********************** of Cranberry, **.Dates of transactions, invoice numbers, and costs: * *********** call to them was on 9/24/23 near midnight. *Service tech (*************************) came out to property assessed and contract (**********) was signed on 9/25/23 for the amount of $8586.47, sewage drains were cleaned and further work continued the following day. *Further work was "required" (?) and another contract (**********) was signed on 9/27/25 for the amount of $13, 271,21.The business committed to replacing the outside sewage line, excavating an area of the downspout line and possibly repairing a small leak in the house. Quote from ***** (service tech), "we will put everything back as pretty as it is." The sewage line was replaced and downspout area was excavated. The small leak was the turning of a handle, no repair was required. Nature of dispute: Left our property in unsafe and unsatisfactory condition. Honestly don't know where to start. On the first day when digging dirt fell under our sidewalk and has never been safely replaced, it looks like a bridge, there is a huge hole. On the day that they backfilled the dirt, they replaced some of the concrete that they had to dig out. The ground sank which was to be expected, but of course, the sidewalk that they replaced cracked and dropped within a week and has not been safe to walk on. They left no dirt behind to fill in. There were gravel stones and broken pieces of piping left in the yard. They broke a lampost which has not been replaced, or deducted from our bill. They also "rounded up our bill" from what the contract amount was (32 cents) but showed dishonesty. Two other plumbers quoted half the price of what they charged us. Please see the attached of what our home has looked like since mid-October. We have attempted contacting them weekly with either minimal or no response. They received pictures.

      CALL ANYONE ELSE!!!If I could rate zero stars, I would!! May 2023, I was out of town and we had a water leak behind the wall that was running into our finished basement. My wife called Mr Rooter in Pittsburgh; they advertise heavily on 93.7 radio and she thought of them first. Bottom line, they had to cut into the drywall (about 6 feet), replace one ball valve and about six feet of copper pipe with PEX. They also replaced the valve at the hose drop outside. Total bill was $2101.30! The job took one man about four hours and there is no more than $100 of materials! It is true that they shared the pricing with her before going forward, but I believe it was very opportunistic. There was a leak, they were there and she needed it fixed. The bill included $380 for “extensive diagnostic service, $489 to install a $40 hose faucet, $200 to install a $20 1/2 inch ball valve and get this, there were 3 separate line items, each detailing 2 feet of PEX installed for $344 each! That is a total of over $1000 to install one straight 6 foot section of PEX! You can’t make this stuff up! Once I returned home I have had two separate plumbers that I know look at this job and both said that this would have been a $400 job had they completed it. I called and complained and they refunded the $380 for “extensive diagnostics”. In my opinion, this was still way overpriced. Not sure if $500 to install a valve or $1000 for 6 feet of PEX is worse. Lesson learned, I have their info available for my wife should she need them when I am out of town. Buyer beware, use Mr Rooter at your own risk! Lastly, I am a big fan of *** **** who advertises for them on 93.7, The Fan radio in Pittsburgh, I wish he could see this bill!!
