UPDATE: Some pipes broke under the house. My slumlord, Warren Merrill, and Kimball must have had an agreement to break the law together because Kimball re-plumbed the house without a permit and without an inspection. When I called them to ask for the permit number, the receptionist hung up on me, then Kimball read the review below and told my slumlord that they wouldn't work with me anymore.
This is the third time I've had problems with Kimball Plumbing. I rent my house, so, I can't fire them, but, I would if I could.
The most recent event went like this: one of the metal pipes to an outdoor spigot was not screwed into the house (even though Kimball had just replumbed the entire house, they never fixed this), so, I pulled on the hose and the entire pipe broke off under ground.
On 3/2/14 Kimball sent a service guy out to fix the pipe. He fixed it, then turned an irrigation line ON - a water line that I've never used in the 5 years I've lived here. Since the day of his service, the line has been leaking 2500 gallons of water per day, according to my JEA report. I called Kimball to come fix the problem, which I thought was still the broken pipe attached to the outdoor spigot. However, while the guys were here, I figured out that the irrigation line was what was causing the problem.
I called Kimball and asked them who was going to pay for the 23,000 gallons of water that leaked since their guy turned on the irrigation line. As usual, they denied that it was their problem. They said that it isn't their fault that the irrigation system has a leak. I told them that it didn't have a leak when the irrigation line was turned OFF as it was supposed to be. They wouldn't settle it with me, they said that my slumlord, Warren Merrill, owner of The No Name Bar in St. Augustine and Your Place in Jacksonville, would have to pay it, which he didn't.
