I called discount plumbing a month ago because my main line was backing up. The first technicians came out to snake the line (while charging me for double man-hours for a single person job). After breaking my toilet handle and then charging me for the part he had to use to fix it (toilet still runs to this day), he called it good and left.
Called them back out 2 weeks later after going in the backyard to find sewage running out of my rear clear-out pipe. Second technician ran a snake, told me it was on the city side. He told me that visit would probably be a warranty visit, since the first guy didn't get it done. He said the stoppage was on the city side. Tree roots.
I get the bill in the mail, said it would NOT be covered under warranty because of the roots. So I called the city, who proceeded to run a camera (while I was watching the screen) all the way to the main line. No roots. Water wasn't even flowing down that pipe, it's definitely on my side.
Call Discount Plumbing again today because it's still backing upthey contact their on-duty technician who tells me he'll come out, but he's going to charge me overtime. I explain my case, he's not willing to contact his boss or anything. Told him I'll call another company.
I'm a reasonable guy, and every technician was a nice enough person don't get me wrong. But they're not willing to back up their work in the least. I would not recommend them unless they righted this wrong for free. That won't happen though, because I'm calling someone else, being that my sewage is currently flowing into my back yard...
