Plumbing Rip Off

To repair a popup leak, I was charged $241.95. This supposed to be a free estimate and yet he took everything apart. And than said it would be $194.95 which I thought was much too much to begin with but I said go ahead and repair it, because everything was taken apart. I guess that's the trick (take everything apart so not to leave it without a pipe on the bottom of the sink)the customer would agree to pay those obsorbent prices. Then after he was all finished he hit us with well the labor was $194.95 and it is plus part and tax. That all came to $241.95.

DO NOT EVER USE ROTO ROOTER THEY ARE RIPE OFFS

Comment On This

I just had a septic system inspected for a house we are purchasing and roto-rooter did it. We were initially quoted $270 to pump and inspect. By the time they were done it was $1015.00. The realtor had gone to the health department for the map of the septic yet they said they needed the camara truck to locate it then had to call in backhoe to dig 2'. It was quite a shock to get that final bill and I feel as if we were taken advantage of!
