I had a number of quotes from different plumbers provided for different projects within my house. I found the overall price of mr rooter high compared to other the plumbers with the exception of one item. I decided to move forward the one item which was reasonable ( new laundry (washer) and fixing of a drain). I was in the middle of some renos so the area was partial unfinished.
Here are the items that I was unhappy with:
1. Alexia had to cut some holes in the drywall to run the pipes and drain for the laundry. The hole for the drain was a large square for a circular pipe. I couldn't understand why he couldn't use a large circular drill bit attachment to minimize the gap around the pipe.
2. The Drain was attached to a lose piece of wood on the wall.
3. The hot and cold water was nailed onto of the wooden studs. He suggested that when I am ready I should recut and put into the studs
4. Didn't recommend I should have a drain for the floor near the laundry and when I called him to check it out; he said I didn't need it.
5. Failed to check the washing machine to ensure the hose would fit the drain for the water discharge (follow-up visit was required to fix).
All in all it took 3 visits to get the job done, but I am disappointed with the end result.
Details of the quote.
For another project I was quoted $700 to move the water tank eight feet. I drained the tank and moved myself and paid a fraction to refix the plumbing.
