Customer ReviewsforThe Plumbing Experts, Inc

Excessive charge.I was referred to Plumbing Experts by a friend for a leak detection.Over the phone I was told leak detections range from $199 to $499.The technician automatically had to use some equipment to find the leak so I figured it would be closer to the $499. He wasn't able to find the leak at first using the equipment, so he had to start opening up some drywall. On a side note we already knew the baseboards and drywall were soaked and were going to have to be removed so it wasn't a big deal. He had to open up 4 small areas in the wall until finding the proper manifold. Once the last hole was opened, within 3 minutes he was able to see water coming up from the slab within the wall.Since the leak is now a slab leak they added an additional $3800 for "Line location and Isolation".Now they never found the exact location of the leak, but they capped of the supply line. So the total charge to find and cap the leak was an absurd $4200. I have called them multiple times but they stand by this price. They say this is a flat fee.Now if they had to dig into the concrete slab and fix the pipe underground I might understand, but for 4 hours of labor to cut open a small amount of drywall how can any reputable company stand by that price.They say I'm paying for their expertise in leak detection but this charge amounts to at least $800 an hour of labor.I had to pay this since I was "under the gun" and had to stop the leak before more got damaged, but since then I've spoken to many plumbers and they are all appalled at that charge for that amount of work. Most have given estimates in the $500-$1500 range.They quote over the phone $199-$499 for leak detection, but I guess thats for them to come out to your house, see water and say you have a leak. If they had told me over the phone that any cutting into drywall was an additional $3800 I would not have used them. I knew from just looking at the wet walls that was going to be needed.Stay Away. They are Thieves
