    Status:
    Resolved
    I was referred to Bob Larson Plumbing by a local business for installation of a sump pump. I called Bob Larson Plumbing to ask if they do installations and to make an appointment. The lady that screened my call seemed very knowledgeable and made my appointment. The day of my appointment, the tech came to my home, never introduced himself and seemed agitated and defensive from the get go. He asked me to explain the situation to him. I proceeded to explain that I had called Bob Larson Plumbing to have a sump pump installed, that I had had a conversation with his office and that I had informed them that I had purchased a sump pump and was looking to have it installed. At that point he proceeded to verbally discredit his own coworker, saying that the lady that answered and screened my call was "just a secretary and she's no plumber" then went on to say that the people who work at the hardware store that originally recommended Bob Larson don't know what equipment is needed, don't know anything about plumbing. Most of the time spent at my home during his visit to my home was spent on complaining and verbally discrediting others. I asked if anything could be done since he was here at my home. He then stated that he would not guarantee any work that he would do, that if the equipment worked or not, he was not responsible and wouldn't know if the equipment that I had purchased (sump pump) was even adequate to install. During his last few minutes at my house, he went into the crawl space told me there was standing water, which we both knew as we could see it. Then he asked for a phone charger so that he could test an electrical outlet located in the crawl space. I didn't have one immediately available but asked if he had a electrical testing tool. He became upset and replied that yes he did but that he would have to go to his truck and get it. He came out of the crawlspace and said there was no more happening today, that someone else would come out to take care of it. He left

    Called to replace an aging water heater that Larson installed 10 yrs ago (during our 40th Anniversary dinner!). First visit to assess the situation was thorough and skilled. without pressure to purchase. The Tech yesterday seemed skilled (what do I know?); the Tech explained the components and how they work, encouraged me to call with any questions. He could have pointed out a few minor things to me but I called the next day and got my answers from the Service Mgr. (How's that for service? A real supervisor, responding to a customer's request!) Not the cheapest company but quick, reliable service. High quality water heater with upgraded features. I feel confident in them. The tech was especially skilled at giving me the bad news: he'd "met" some ants by the floor baseboard when finishing things up (I already have an exterminator), and even worse, my water meter has water in it so that means a leak is somewhere. Gave me the info of a Leak-finding company. Professional, pleasant, and respectful of my property.
