Too Good to be true?

Have you seen ads by service companies that are much lower than all the other quotes you have received? This is called a loss leader. Not an honest way of doing business in my humble professional opinion.

They start with ( Drain clearing $79.00 ) For starters it cost most of that just to get the truck to your door. Then the service tech is most likely paid on commission, so if he wants to make any money he has to start the high pressure sales pitch.  "Oh this is bad, we need to run a sewer camera to find out what is going on with your home!" Now you are at $379.00.

The honest company. " The drain cleaning can very greatly depending on the severity of the issue. It may run from $100.00 to $300.00 in most cases."

In most cases that $379.00 drain clearing would have cost you less than $180.00 from the honest service contractor.You see, even if you had the more severe clog ( in most cases it is not ) it probably would have cost much less than the $379.00.

There are many more examples to this scenario and it encompasses all business. Would you rather have an honest service company or the one who tries to get as much money out of each stop as possible?

Again this is just the educated opinion of a 20 plus year professional Plumber who has worked for a few local plumbing contractors in the local market before starting our own company. The Idea behind H2O Plumbing Solutions is to offer honest professional service to our customers and giving the information necessary to make their own decision on the extent of service they would like us to preform.

  1. It doesn't mean that cheapest quotes or estimates will save you money most of the times the plumber with the cheapest rate will be the least experienced and more than likely will not be the cheapest job.
