I am not an individual who prides herself on complaining and I have never written a review like this before about any other company.
But the technicians for this company are dishonest and the company refuses to take accountability for their work.
Two technicians were at my home yesterday replacing our water heater. They turned our water off for a period of about 30 minutes and when they turned it back on, they chose to use the kitchen faucet to test if the water came back on. It didn't.
The technician himself, named JEFF ALLEN, said that the sediment must have collected in the cartridge which evidently clogged with the pressure of the water being turned back on.
JEFF ALLEN HIMSELF ADMITTED THAT IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, THAT IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS, AND COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ANY OTHER PLUMBER.
So fine-we understand that with home repairs, unprecedented accidents happen. We asked for them to fix the faucet (since their actions broke it and it was completely functional before they walked into my house), and he tried his best as he fumbled with the faucet, taking pieces apart. But then he said he didn't have the proper tools to fix it (????).
THEY ARE A PLUMBING COMPANY-HOW COULD THEIR TECHNICIANS NOT HAVE THE PROPER TOOLS ON HAND TO REPAIR A FAUCET????
Instead, they walked out of my house, leaving my family with no running water in our kitchen right before dinner time.
We called Kohler and will receive a new sink cartridge, which could take up to 7 days. Oh & by the way, Kohler said there would be no special tool to repair, just a new piece-so makes you wonder if these plumbers are even properly trained if they insisted they couldn't repair anything just because they didn't have that special tool...
But when we called the plumbing company to ensure that when the part is received they would come out to fix it, they said they only would AT OUR EXPENSE.
How does the negligent actions of a technician breaking an appliance in my home result in the customer paying twice??
When I spoke with a manager who conferenced the technician himself on the line, JEFF ALLEN stated that he never touched my sink, and therefore wasn't responsible. He insinuated that we broke the faucet ourselves. (WHY ON EARTH WOULD WE BREAK OUR OWN KITCHEN FAUCET??)
RUN from this company. Do NOT let any of their technicians onto your property as they are dishonest and will not relay any truth.
The company takes no accountability for their technician's actions and refuses to make it right when a mistake was made on their end.
I am not only disgusted, but now without running water in my kitchen when I have two young children to care for. And apparently the only person capable of making a decision that would allow their technician to simply come back and fix what they broke is on vacation for the next 5 days.
They shouldn't need a manager to tell them to come back & do the right thing!! It's not that difficult to provide a service which you are supposed to be trained and educated in!!
I understand that these CoVid times are stressful for everyone, customers and businesses alike. That's why I would assume that during these overwhelming times, businesses would be going out of their way to try and provide the most exceptional customer service to paying customers, and I'm truly baffled at the level of dishonesty. Insinuating that we broke our own kitchen faucet because they don't want to come back and fix what they broke themselves is a new low. It's absolutely shameful.
JEFF ALLEN should be ashamed of himself and the company's reluctance in fixing his mistake is a clear example of negligence and horrendous customer service.
