Best Security System Repair in Saint Louis MO

Responded quickly, friendly service, fair pricing. I had a small repair completed - it didn't require an electrician, but was beyond what I felt comfortable doing on my own.

We already belonged to the club for furnace and A/C where they come out twice a year and clean the unit and check it. When the technician came out and serviced the furnace, we signed up for the plumbing club as well, as we are above 70 years of age and repairs are not easy for us. After a few months I noticed our water bill creeping up a little, not a lot, by a few dollars more each month. At about the same time Tiger called and said that it was time for the plumber to come out and do whatever it is that they are supposed to do, check for leaks and drain the water heater. While the man was here I mentioned that the shower had a slow drip. He said they would have to tear out a wall and change everything over to copper pipe to stop the leak. (This home was built in the year 2000). I asked him how much it would be to install a new toilet that they would provide or procure. $400.00. Then I asked him how much it would be just to put new parts in the toilet tank to stop the slow leak. Same answer- $400.00, because they use the best parts. Then He told us that the leak may actually be between the water meter and the house. They may need to dig up the yard and if I don't sign up for it today it will be much more expensive later. By the time he got through he quoted more than $8,000.00 for fixing a leak in the shower, and a trickle in the toilet, possibly install a new toilet, digging up the yard and repairing a fictitious leak and installing a shut off for the water heater. I told him I had no idea that it would cost so much, and there is no way we are able to agree to that amount.

My pastor was a contractor for many years . I explained this all to him. He told us that all that needed to be done to stop the very slow leak in the shower was to pop off the covers on the faucet handles, use a screw driver to remove the parts, take them down to Ace and buy new washers. And as for the slow leak in the toilet, buy a new flapper. So-we did these things for under $20.00 and fixed the leaks.

We had called the city to come out and check if their meter was accurate because we were concerned that perhaps there really was a leak either before the meter, or between the meter and the house. The meter was fine. So then I called a home improvement company we trust. He found no leak anywhere outside the home. All the leaks are fixed, and we are cancelling membership in both clubs

And oh, BTW, the man from Tiger did not even drain the water heater like he said he came to do. So we have been paying month after month for nothing.
