On 11/22 I had ****** ******** come out to look at why the toilet was flushing slow. When they arrived they verified that the toilet flushed slow. They then did a camera inspection and found a blockage, some bellies, and a separated terra cotta pipe. they recommended sewer replacement. At that point I called HomeServe for them to come to take a look at the pipe. I have a plan that states what is covered is a leaking system pipe that take wastewater from your home (which is the pipe that is separated) and for covered repairs there must be an operational failure (separated piped is an operational failure). HomeServe sent total plumbing to come and take a look at the issue. All he did was ask me a few questions and said that HomeServe would be calling me. I missed work to meet someone at the house for a conversation that could have happened over the phone. I called HomeServe and they stated that because I had a previous company come out and clear the clog that they could not do anything for me because I should have called them first. Why would I call them for a slow flushing toilet? Thought I needed a new toilet. Well I guess I was suppose to. It says that I need to call for covered repairs, which a separated pipe is a covered repair not a slow flushing toilet. I spoke to Tanisha at HomeServe and even told her that I would l have another company come out to put a camera in the pipe but all she kept saying was its not covered I should have called them first. I want them to fix what is covered I paid for the policy. I will also file other complaints and reviews until I get this fixed. This is completely unfair and I feel like it is discrimination, that they will find any reason not to cover the repair.Business Response

Jan 8 2023. I paid Homeserve $2039 for hot water installation. They force fit the pipes over the heater. It damaged the pipes causing a slow leak that damaged the hot water heater which is under warranty (see rust in the part that cannot be replaced in the attached picture). Thier technicians inspected the HVAC during 2 tune ups and never reported the problem to me. The attached letter documents the serious issues with their customer service. There is one help desk number to call. You cannot call anyone that you spoke with. Their management does not return calls. I attached the letter to the President of the HCAC division. As of 11/22 they have no made any response after the initial visit by the technician. They have not tried to resolve the problem. I need a new heater with a proper installation replacing the damaged pipesBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because the response from homeserv is premature. The local manager who never contacted me since Nov. 8, has scheduled an appoitment with me for Friday, Dec. 6 to view the damage to my hot water heater from the installation. When I meet with him, I will have a better assessment of whether there was any progress. However, I don't want to close this complaint until the repair is completed.

I acquired a HomeServe policy months ago for my gas water heater, but the service has been frustrating and inadequate.
Technician Issues: The first technician couldn’t access the water heater due to the crawl space door size. This should have been disclosed upfront, as access is critical. A second technician also failed to access the unit.
Contractor Concerns: A contractor from ****** *** arrived smelling of alcohol and cannabis. Without going under the house, he claimed the exterior vent caused the issue, which is implausible given it’s been in place for years. Despite this, he said HomeServe would replace the water heater.
Customer Service Problems: When I contacted customer service, they contradicted the contractors, saying the water heater would not be replaced. I endured long hold times and was transferred to the retention department, where I received vague answers. The representative refused to confirm whether the water heater would be replaced and instead kept reading the contract. She also laughed about my lack of hot water and pressured me to cancel the policy, offering a $29 refund, which I did not request.
Unacceptable Resolution: The retention representative canceled my policy without resolving the issue or clarifying if I could pay the difference for the replacement. Contractors promised one thing, but representatives said another.
Resolution Requested: I ask for HomeServe to fulfill the service their contractors promised—replace the water heater, allowing me to cover any cost differences if needed. I also request a clear explanation of their policies to prevent future misunderstandings.
This complaint is supported by recorded calls and security footage. I expect fair treatment and resolution. I trust the Better Business Bureau will ensure accountability and help resolve this matter fairly and promptly. The contract should outline what are considered abnormal situations and not have retention representative reading contractsBusiness Response

here is the email I sent over to the company.
The last communication from you indicated that you would review the recordings. I trust that you have also reviewed the overseas call recording related to this issue. Based on my research, your company appears to have multiple complaints about similar situations, where representatives claim these are "abnormal circumstances."
When the plumber visited our home, we were informed that we were outside the 90-day grace period, which feels unfair. We were 76 or 77 days in the grace period. However, I understand your contracts dictate this policy. That said, during the visit, the plumber spoke with one of your representatives who assured us that the hot water tank would be replaced if we called back. Hopefully, these are some calls you've listened to too.
Following those instructions, we initiated another service request. Unfortunately, the technician who came out could not fit under the house. The third technician, however, made assumptions about the issue without inspecting the house at all. His conclusions were made at ground level. Moreover, his behavior was unprofessional, requiring me to sign forms I was uncertain about. He insisted that I must sign before he could proceed with the work. Later, he knocked again, stating he didn’t need to go under the house and declared the issue was a disconnected pipe causing the water heater to malfunction.
Given the assurance provided by your representative about replacing the hot water tank, I believe this commitment should be honored. Despite this, we had to purchase a new water heater ourselves to prepare for hosting Thanksgiving, as my brother, who is a veteran, asked us to host the holiday gathering. While this might not resonate with your office, it highlights the urgency and frustration we experienced.
We’ve resolved the issue ourselves, but this ordeal has been disappointing. I feel compelled to share my experience with others through any platform available, as I believe your service has not lived up to its promises, especially in rural areas.
At the moment all I can say is God made a way for us, but your company did nothing to assist us or resolved the issue. As stated before I will use every platform I am on to explain to others how and why individuals should avoid using your services.Business Response

In response to *** *****’s complaint, a HomeServe Office of
the President (OTP) representative contacted him on December 19, 2024, to
address his concerns and offered clarification of his coverage. The OTP member advised
that due to the coverage being cancelled and according to the service agreement
exclusions, the following is not covered: “5. Any replacement, correction,
upgrade, or move of Your existing System in order to meet any code, law,
regulation, ordinance, or utility directive, if not directly related to the
necessary Covered Repair.”
We acknowledge *** *****’s continued dissatisfaction but
maintain that our investigation and resolution align with the terms of his
service agreement and are both fair and consistent.

Hello,
My name is ***** ******** I had an issue with my outside sewage pipes and filed a claim with Home Serve on November 5th, 2024. Its November 18th and nothing has been completed. We are not able to use any of our bathrooms or showers.
Each and everytime we call Home Serve, they give us the runaround or another excuse why our pipes are not being fixed and continue to delay it. Each time I talk to a Home Serve representative, I get a different excuse.
For instance, I received an email today that states that our service is complete. I tried calling Home Serve, but the systems were down, and they could not help. This has happened numerous times. This is one of many instances that have resulted in the delay of fixing our sewage pipes.
I have paid my home serve fees for more than 6 years, never late and this is how my family and I are treated. This is terrible customer service. I have to call every day to try to make them do something but they keep delaying it.
It is not my job to facilitate communication with Home Serve or its partners. Its been two weeks and nothing.
Warm Regards,
***** *******Business Response

I contacted HomeServe on Thursday 11/14/24 regarding a pipe that was connected to my garden hose spicket. The garden hose spicket broke off and cracked the pipe that it was connected to it.
The HomeServe rep stated he would send it to a plumber to get it repaired, he did not inform me it wasn't covered by my policy. He informed the plumber ultimate drain cleaning and service that there was a sewage leak, which was totally false and incorrect. On Friday 11/15/24 I took the day off from work to wait for the plumber. The plumber came to my house around 1130am ET. He informed me that the repair to the water hose spicket pipe wasn't cover and it would be $300 to repair. I contact HomeServe again around 1230pm ET to ask them why it wasn't covered for repair. The HomeServe rep stated it was covered and she create a new work order to send to the plumber. I once again asked her and said 'so to confirm this will be cover and you will pay the plumber for this repair", she stated yes. Around 2:52pm ET I received a call from HomeServe stating it wasn't covered and I would have to pay out of pocket. The rep stated she didn't know what the other reps told me but that's their policy it's not covered. I spoke to a manager a few minutes later and he stated the same thing. He's not sure what the other reps told me but it wasn't covered. They stated all their calls are recorded so they can review them. No one at this company knows what's cover and what's not. I was lied to twice, made to waste my time this Friday, 11/15. They promised and stated it was covered for repair by them but backed out later stating they can't cover it because that's what their policy states. This would have all been resolved if during my first phone call to HomeServe I was informed it wasn't covered.Business Response

An appliance reimbursement check [#****** - **** **** ***] for $750 from HomeServe [an **** ****** affiliate] was sent to my deceased husband of more than 3 years. I requested his name be removed from their plan two years ago; my ~$60/mo premiums for this plan are paid from a bank account not bearing his name; and his name is not on the warranty deed. I have spoken with numerous HomeServe agents since 9/6/24 through 11/4/24 in an attempt to resolve this. With every call I enter a "round robin" of transfers to agents requesting the same information, and always finally ending with an agent telling me they "will call or email me within xx number of hours" but they never do either. The last agent with whom I spoke was "William" on 11/4/24 at 8:43 am. William stated that everything appeared to be "in order" but he could not explain the delay and "would email me asap." The delay, in my opinion is obvious. This is not a small amount of funds and instead of my earning interest on it, HomeServe benefits daily from the delay. Multiply this by thousands of customers and it's obvious such adds up. I will add that the techs they send from ** ******* who attend repairs and maintenance are excellent. Otherwise, I would be dropping this plan.Business Response

Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic.
