C & D Plumbing Inc.

I waited a week to write this review just in case i had any issues with the job that was done. As far as i can tell, the bathtub drain, shower handle and kitchen drain haven’t had any issues. The job seems to have been properly done at a reasonable cost by Angel the plumber. I would recommend Angel the Plumber and his company.

I purchased a prepaid coupon from Angie’s list. The same day I received a phone call from the company asking me when I would like to schedule the appointment. The day of the appointment, Angel (the plumber), showed up to my house on time. He was clean, professional and courteous. He took the time to answer all of my questions and he even asked me which way I would like the spigot to face (most plumbers would of just replaced it and wouldn’t of given me an option). I highly recommend Angel and C&D Plumbing. The experience was pleasant from start to finish and the price was fair.

Wow. Reading the previous review — this is like déjà vu. This plumber was also hired by my insurance to inspect a broken pipe. Their first video «wasn’t good enough» so they had to do a jetting of the pipes. How convenient — they needed to do a $ 2000 job at the expense of my insurance to diagnose something someone else already diagnosed. They only took two weeks to get me on the schedule for it and another week to read their video though, after an initial one week delay to read their first video. These guys see an insurance contract and see nothing but dollar signs. They added six weeks and $ 3000 to the cost of repairing my house. They then told my insurer that the pipe wasn’t cracked but had a nail in it. That being said the picture of the nail did not correspond to the pipe being broken. And of course, they wouldn’t release the video. If you are unfortunate enough to have these guys come out as part of your insurance contract, get someone else. It goes without saying I wouldn’t use them voluntarily.

Three words for you: TURN AND RUN!
C&D was sent to my house at the request of my home owners insurance policy. The goal was to simply inspect my pipes to clarify a claim that was pending for my kitchen. Direct result of their visit: detrimental Category 3 water damage (poop water) resulting in the loss and removal of walls, fixtures, floors and furniture. Expert plumbers? Please. Expert numb skulls is more appropriate.
Issue #1: During their visit to perform what’s called a «jetting» of my main drainpipe they opted to remove the toilet in my half bath. In the end they didn’t even need to do this nor did they use the access. But, Chris — an owner as I understand it — must have left his Customer Service skills at home that morning because he had a horrible attitude when he stormed out of my bathroom to inform me of a $ 500 bill I was now facing.
Chris (abruptly) «Your toilet flange is broken.»
Me «Excuse me, what?! Nothing was broken before you pulled my toilet!»
Chris «It’s your problem. I could have just not told you and put the toilet back.» (Because THAT’S the right way to handle such situations.)
Me «What’s that going to run?»
Chris «About $ 500. But I’m not doing it for you today.»
Wonderful, I didn’t contract you and I didn’t ask that you pull my toilet (which wasn’t used in the end anyway) but now I’ve got a $ 500 bill on my lap? Ridiculous.
They put the toilet back «good enough» for the time being and finished jetting my drain line from the clean-​out in the front yard instead. The real joys happened a few days after they left though. As a result of the subsequent clog, sewage flood and my plumber rectifying the issue we know that this is what happened…
Issue #2: Chris should have known by looking at my 35-​year-​old — but solid and in-​tact — cast iron pipe that jetting was a poor idea. If jetting was still to be performed he should have at least turned down the water pressure to prevent scaling. But Chris has an attitude and wants to collect his fee from my insurance company so he proceeds with reckless abandon. Consequences be damned. In short, his over-​aggressive jetting caused metal scales to break off from the interior of my pipe and build up to a point where the joyful tenants of the drainpipe — urine, feces pieces, toilet paper, grey water, black water, etc — to clog and back flow into my home creating a massive amount of damage.
So not only does Chris have a shitty attitude, but he has evidenced a complete disregard for plumbing best practices or the home owner’s interest. I will NEVER allow this knucklehead or his company to set foot on my property and my recommendation to you is the same. You may very well walk away with a bigger issue — and bill — than you bargained for.
