Best Water Heater Repair in Laredo TX
Plumbing Service
I've used Chavarria Plumbing several times, but through our home warranty company so I've only paid deductible. The service I needed was not covered by my warranty so I called them to fix it anyway.
I had to call multiple times to get someone out. When they finally came, they located the leak which required MINIMAL digging. The other leak was in plain sight. I asked for a quote before and he said less than $300 depending on what they found.
What they found was a simple leaking PVC pipe. It was about as simple to change out as plumbing can go.
He handed me the bill afterwards for $295. I couldn't believe they charged me $260 something for labor. They left to get parts (literally al it needed was some PVC and a couple of elbows) and that took an hour. Then they stood outside of my house another hour waiting for the sealant to dry (which takes about 3 minutes). When I questioned him about the high rate he just said they like to wait for it to dry to be sure there are no further issues.
I was thoroughly disappointed with the way they WAY overcharged for a simple fix. And then intentionally waited around to run up the clock (they say they charge $89.50 per hour so what's another hour in the sun when you can pad your pockets?)
That probably explains why I had to wait for them to come out for more than one day... their employees are waiting around for pipes to dry.
Very disappointed. It's so hard to find honest people here.
