  I began calling Beis for plumbing related issues a year ago. *** spent a small fortune with them on necessary repairs and new toilets to my home. Yesterday, 6/18 service person, ****** came out for a backed up line in my kitchen that had my dishwasher backing up and left standing water. I soaked up most of the water with towels before he arrived and removed the them. He used my plunger to move the clog along. I paid the service fee of $95. He then told me that usually when you run the dishwasher, the standing water will go down. He then began pressing buttons and ran my rinse cycle and left to sit in the van outside of my home for almost an hour. I called Beis around 5:03pm when I went to open the dishwasher to put the rack back inside and found the heating element had melted the sprayer arm that was laying across it. Its dead stuck now and the dishwasher is yet unusable, again! I was told someone would be back out to look at it tomorrow or Friday. It was Wednesday. Fine. However *****, called me today (Wed) to so call ask me what happened when she had already made up her mind that they were going to blame me. The service person didnt put it back nor ask me to move it. I assumed, he being a professional, hed moved it back into place once the water receded. ***** then told me that we dont service dishwashers. So why did he run my dishwasher without my permission if Beis doesnt touch dishwashers? ***** was definitely condescending, then confronted me, blamed me, interrogated me. I asked her multiple times for a manager or the owner. She refused to escalate the matter in the moment. They have to make it right and not blame the customer/ victim. ***** told me shed have the owner listen to the call, I take that as a way to intimidate me, to make me back down. It didnt work. This establishment owes me for damages as I want them to file an insurance claim and I want a public apology for being mistreated.

  **** called because her kitchen sink was draining slowly and the dishwasher was not draining either. Since the dishwasher was not draining properly, ****** had to test the dishwasher once he cleared the drain, to ensure the job was completed and everything was draining properly. This does not require opening the dishwasher, only pushing a button on the front of the dishwasher. When ******, as **** stated then told me that usually when you run the dishwasher, the standing water will go down., she failed to mention to ****** at that moment that she had removed the pieces of the dishwasher so they were not fully secured inside. Since ****** did not remove the pieces inside of the dishwasher and **** did not mention to ****** that her dishwasher pieces were not securely installed inside of the dishwasher, we are not responsible for damages to the inside of the dishwasher.

  The company came out to do a minor repair (change a gate valve to a 90 degree elbow and soldier in a ball valve.) The plumber left my home without replacing my grounding wires because mine were too corroded. He told my wife he was behind for the day and asked me over the phone if that was ok. Initially I said yes and after thinking about it, I think having my home grounded by a licensed and professional plumber makes more sense because its a safety issue. I called the service manager back and they were unable to make arrangements to have a plumber come by my house after hours meaning after 4pm. So **** wanted me to do my own repair, at my time and expense while still paying $1250 for this service and wouldnt make an accommodation to meet me at 4:15 at my residence. Oh and by the way there is a leak in the pipe when they left where previously there wasnt a leak. If theyre wanting me to complete my own work my bill should be adjusted accordingly, also I feel like Beis shouldnt have left my home without the grounding wire in place especially since its a matter that deals with safety.

  Beis Plumbing LLC, ***********************************************************************. ***** ************ On June 14th of 2023 my next-door neighbor located at ************************* Mo. ***** had a new water line placed in the ground. She hired Beis Plumbing LLC of **************. This line required the shared driveway to be dug up about 500 feet. During this process and the company's failure to call Dig rite they struck the *** buried phone line disrupting services for several days. When Beis Plumbing returned to complete the work they installed the new line and covered the ditch. They left several trees without enough dirt to live, the ground was not covered properly and the disruption in natural vegetation, grass, slop for water runoff, and the driveway has caused issues with sinking vehicles during rain. I was forced to haul rock in due to the impassibility of emergency vehicles to get through in the event it was needed. The owner and operator were asked to make needed repairs in an effort to bring the property back to the condition it was, and he refused. Multiple attempts have been made to get this issue resolved without success. Our resolve to this would be driveway repair, excavation of the land to level it back off, grass seed and straw. I feel this is not much to ask considering this is private property and not an easement or public road. Thank you for any help in this matter.

  Beis Plumbing did not do any work for this complainant. We had a contract with the neighbor for the plumbing repair work. The work was completed and our customer has always been happy with our work and condition of all of the areas worked on. We have done what is outside of our contract by bringing 2 tons of rock in for our portion of work in the utility easement that is not required. After which this neighbor shook the hand of our service manager and thanked him. Prior to our work, locates were called in for this repair and AT&T was not marked where it was hit. We had AT&T out the same day to make the necessary repairs. After correspondence with these neighbors we offered to do more rock and sod at additional pricing to correct corroding that was already present in the area. The customer that we did the work for even provided $500 to the complainant for any further rock he wanted to have. We have since had numerous harassing messages on multiple media sources from this complainant, his wife and son. We even have an intoxicated voicemail left in the middle of the night to our service manager. We do not have any contract with this person and went beyond the scope of our contract with our customer. We backfilled and graded the entire area that we worked on and came to lay seed and straw to fulfill our contract.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  This is private property and there is no easement. There was never an offer to me for sod or repairs, maybe the other neighbor but not me. The company did bring me some rock, not near enough but it was appreciated. All I asked was for them to use a machine of some type to help level the yard that was covered with dirt after they dug it up for water line placement. As far as the rock on the driveway, yes it is very messed up and will require tons of rock. The contracted person payed me 300$ not 500, and it is for repairs to her driveway not mine. I would be happy if they brought a bobcat or tractor out to regrade along the driveway in an attempt to level the ground out so I can seed and straw it. I was never intoxicated and for the record have never harassed anyone. I have been professional and respectful this entire time. I am the one that provided your crew members water to drink, a hose to clean themselves with and anything else they needed. All I want is a level backfill job so I can get rock down and grass growing again. 
  
  
  Sincerely,

  We called this company out to do some work on our Jacuzzi tub upstairs. The tech cut off everything that was working, but realized he couldn't get the new stuff to work. I showed up at home and asked him what we should do. He said not take a bath or move. I called the company about this situation. They said this wasn't their practice. They sent another tech out and he moved the stuff and cut up our tile. He got it working. We took a bath and water is leaking from the ceiling. He forgot to hook the drain back up to the bathtub. I called them and they sent a painter and drywall person. He said he didn't see any mold. He said he would find a paint match. Then they scheduled the tech to come out in two weeks. No one came out and then it was a month later. I called them recently and I told the secretary. I asked for a callback and no one called back. I've been dealing with this since February 2022.

  Hello, 

  We have rectified this issue by hiring a contractor for the work that was needed for repairs. He repaired the drywall and even offered to paint match, then paint the entire ceiling. We can provide invoices that we have paid by ******* *********** if requested. The issue was not from the install, it was a part defect that we replaced and corrected. We have done our part and reached out to the contractor to set up further work. Once we hired the contractor we informed the customer that we would pay but would not be responsible for scheduling.
  

  Thank you, 

  Beis Plumbing

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because: They have sent out inexperienced workers, they have destroyed out bathroom and it still not repaired properly for all the damage they have done.  They left the drain disconnected in my bath tub that left gallons of water to drain down on my kitchen ceiling, I have a big white patch in my kitchen on the ceiling right underneath where the bath tub is.  They should have connected that drain. 
  
  Sincerely,
  
  ***** ******
