    This business is the plumbing company used by our landlord/property management company and uses predatory billing practices knowing that the landlord will not dispute charges because all charges get passed onto the tenant. They provided service to our apartment in mid-June and charged over $300 despite not working on the correct pipe and not fixing the clog. They came back ~10 days later to fix it, per their warranty policy, but charged us anyway for that separate visit, $110. Each time, they list erroneous reasons on the receipt as that are blatant lies in order to claim that a new charge is warranted. The plumbers each provided different reasons when we asked them during the service, each of which were not tenant fault, but then list other reasons after leaving the premises and sending the bill to our property management company. They littered on the property and left our bathroom disgusting, even refusing to s**** back the drain cover.When I've tried to call the business (as a tenant) they refuse to speak with me and tell me to go through my landlord. Again, these are predatory and unfair practices that allows the business to always charge the highest amount, breach their warranty policy, lie to customers directly, and not have to deal with disputes knowing the landlord passes off the cost to the tenant.

    I called on Friday to schedule an appointment for roto rooter services for my clogged sink. They told me the soonest they could get someone here was Saturday ****pm. I said ok. I stayed home all day Saturday waiting. At 3:30pm I called them to see if they were on their way. They called the technician and told me he was running late and would arrive around 5pm-5:30pm. By 6pm no one had still arrived. I had a sick 3 month old baby that I needed to feed and put to sleep. I was home alone. At 7pm, while I'm putting my sick infant to bed I hear a banging on my door. I had a missed call at 6:48pm from them. I could not answer the door or my phone at 6:48pm or 7pm. If they had told me ahead of time that they would not arrive until 7pm I would have told them to reschedule it. But I was given no warning. I call the next day (Sunday morning) to have see why I was not told of an updated time (7pm). They said they tried to call (at 6:48pm - which was nowhere close to the window of time they had given me. They said to have someone come out on Sunday would be an overtime charge of an additional $40. I have a backed up sink with a sick infant in the home and I need it fixed in order to wash his bottles and keep it sanitary to prevent him from getting any bacteria from the clogged drain into his bottles. Seeing as I was given an inaccurate time slot on Saturday (12pm-4pm) - I had to call for an update on the time (5pm-5:30pm) they still don't show at 5/5:30pm and they don't even call me to say they're still running even more late and then they just show up at 7pm expecting me to be able to answer with no fair warning, I do not think I should have to pay the additional $40 for them to come the next day since it is their mistake on timing.
