Best Plumbing Inspection in Anchorage AK

I had roots in my sewer line that caused drain problems for a couple years.  I own a small power drain snake but could not get it to clear with 75 feet of cable.  I called Chugach and made an appointment for the next day.  I was informed that they had two appointments before me and would call when they were done with those.  By noon, I had not heard anything and called to get a status update.  Chugach said they were tied up with a problem but hoped to be out soon.  Less than an hour later I received a phone call and was told someone was on the way.  I learned that Chugach was still busy so they took the time to contact another business and had them come out to make sure I was taken care of.  The respondent was polite and efficient.  My drain was free of roots in about 30 minutes.  I was charged the quoted rate for one hour and provided with good advice on how to help keep my lines free and flowing.  I rarely see a company like Chugach make sure I was taken care of, even at the loss of their personal business.  No reschedule and no excuses, just a happy customer.  For this courtesy and concern, they have earned my future business and I give top ratings to Chugach.  They were less expensive than other snaking services and used the correct equipment to clear, not just unclog my lines unlike my previous choices even though they had told me I had root problems.  I am very pleased.

I had a horrible experience with Discount mechanical and would recommend staying away from this company. I called because I had a clogged drain. The technician came to my house tightened the trap under the sink and then told me they don't do rudder work and they don't unclog drains. I was charged an hours worth of work. I listened to the recording with the technician and I specifically asked for help with a clogged drain and they failed to let me know that they do not unclog drains. I was charged a 145 dollars to tighten a T Trap.They are a worthless plumbing company that doesn't do plumbing. When I talked to the office manager she acknowledged the error on her staff for not informing me about the fact they don't unclog drains. She said she would reimburse me for 1/2 hour of service. When she called me back she said she would not reimburse anything after talking to the owner. I told her to have the owner call me back but the owner was too much of a coward to call me back.

I kept hearing the commercial on the Radio that says Remember the name, Living Waters, Living Waters....  So I called them.  I had a plumbing quote to re-replumb our 4 plex in south anchorage for $7,200 which seemed high given it was a 3-4 day job for 2 people.  Jeffrey answered the phone.  I asked for an estimate and the first thing that struck me as Odd is he says I'm not sure if we'll CHARGE for the estimate, but someone can check it out soon. I've never been charged for an ESTIMATE in my life.  12 minutes later, he calls back.  He said he spoke to the boss and had a ballpark figure for me.  He asked how many fixtures I had in the unit.  17 I told him.  He says Ok, he was Right on then- It will be right at $80,000. I was stunned but I thought he said $8,000.  Finally I asked Did you say $8,000? No.  The estimate was EIGHTY THOUSAND dollars- for a 4 day job!!!!  

My biggest issue is that they are running around using the name of God to their advantage Living Waters is a reference to Jesus Christ.  An $80,000 estimate is about $73,000 higher than it should be.  There is nothing charitable, kind or neighborly about that.  No christian values emanate from this.  I was shocked and expressed that to Jeffrey.  He didn't offer to come look or allow me to speak with the boss that gave this un-Godly estimate.  He didn't budge- $80,000- take it or leave it.  

Since then, I have spoke with 3 professional plumbers.  They have all said the same thing Living Waters is a rip-off!  They price gouge and do poor quality work.

In their commercial they say Remember our name.  You bet I will!  They forever will remind me of the time they tried to rip me off.  
Don't waste your time calling them.  They might even charge you for it.
