We are doing a re-model of a home in Canyon Lake and hired Clint DIxon as our plumber. For the first few months, he was relatively reliable, and we paid him as per his fee schedule. In early November, he informed us that we needed a sump pump for our septic to function properly. He asked us to pay him in advance $600 for the cost of the pump and $160 for installation of the pump. Within 15 minutes of leaving our home he cashed our check and has been ignoring our phone calls ever since.
When we called him from another phone number (so he did not know it was us) he informed us that he had spent the money and could not purchase the pump but that he would buy it with money that his father gave him at Christmas, and would install it on Dec. 27th. Needless to say, he did not, and continued to ignore our phone calls until we threatened him with legal action. He then purchased the pump (according to the store, the cost of the pump is $400, not $600) and left it in our yard. He now owes us $200 for the pump, and $160 for advance payment on his labor.
We are now in the process of hiring another plumber to install the pump. Clint has once again disappeared and is not accepting any of our phone calls. I would NOT recommend him as a plumber to anyone, any time.
