Dunn-Rite Plumbing & Sewer Service

We were having some sewer issues — we thought we only needed to have our system cleaned out (rodded) out to the street… I called these guys who seem to be really nice on the phone. They came out and said they found that our pipe from our over-​head sewer was shifted and that they would need to dig out the side of our house and replace it for $ 2000… we found them in the newspaper for a rod-​out special of $ 55! They swore up and down that their computer (which I had never saw and have since been told by other contractors and plumbers doesn’t exist) found the break and needed to be fixed immediately. Luckily my husband is knowledgeable about this stuff and when I called him he said — just have the guy rod it out. that is all it needs. The guy from Dunn-​Rite (again seeming very nice and helpful) said that would be just a waste of money and he wouldn’t do it. We tried to negotiate a fair price — they wouldn’t budge… so we went elsewhere. Turns out this company totally tried to scam us… totally taking advantage of the stay home mom type situation. We had another plumber come in a rod out the system for $ 300… he took one look at the pipe and said no cracks/​breaks… our system is totally fine. I hate companies that try to take advantage. you know they are doing this to seniors too (coax you in with the cheap ad then make up a problem… terrible. Do not use this company!!! They have 2 numbers too… the other is for the suburbs 708−229−0123
