Anthony's Plumbing, Inc.

To Whom It May Concern:This letter is in response to the written complaint you have received from [redacted].I would first like to share that we have been an accredited business since 2006. We also have an A+ rating with the Revdex.com and currently have...

zero complaints to date. I would like you to see that this is the true representation of our company.[redacted] called on June 29th, 2015 requesting service at his three story commercial building located on [redacted] for multiple units not draining. A written contract between [redacted] and Anthony’s Plumbing, Inc.authorizing the service for the amount of $473.50 was personally signed by [redacted] himself before work began.During the course of work multiple problems came to surface resulting in returning to [redacted] and his property manager for additional approvals. Our professional recommendations were not implemented at the customer’s request however different methods in which [redacted] requests were attempted in order to try and bring relief to the building. We invested over 7.5 hour attempting methods [redacted] requested with no success and our professional advice on the next step of the process to have things corrected properly was never acknowledged.After returning the next day, our two technicians made yet another attempt to try [redacted] direction in cleaning his drain and again the outcome did not change. (Please see attached pictures) At this time we attempted to reach [redacted] for further authorization to continue with the next proper step and were unable to reach him. We processed a payment with the credit card provided by [redacted] for the amount of $178.00. (Please see attached invoice) We made every authorized attempt to resolve the issue and at no time did we take [redacted] credit card and walk away. We charged [redacted] accordingly for services rendered at the property in question based off [redacted] request. Please see attached invoice showing two different signatures and initials all done at different times in the course of work at the property. The information provided will show that we kept in contact with the customer throughout the course of work.[redacted] Drain Cleaning was also a company called out to the property. He recalls the property and happen to have had the same experience with [redacted] causing him to refuse further service at the property in question. He would be happy to discuss his experience with you if you have any questions.[redacted] Drain Cleaning [redacted] I have also attached four recorded calls displaying [redacted] unprofessional behavior when contacting the office. Unfortunately the cell phone conversations could not be recorded and I am not able to show the additional attempts made to work with [redacted].I will not allow my employees to be mistreated with verbal abuse by any customer which includes [redacted]. I will also not accept the ongoing threats [redacted] has made towards our company therefore we will not be refunding any payment collected for services rendered.We hope that the Revdex.com and its customers see this complaint filed against Anthony’s Plumbing, Inc. for what it truly is, a customer wanting to get free service to maintain his commercial property functioning. The building does need maintenance in order to run properly and will not be done for free or in a hostile environment.In addition, [redacted] also disputed the charges with his credit card company and after providing them with a copy of the contact signed, his claim was denied.Included are several attachments to this email. There are four phone call recordings with [redacted] in no specific order, two pictures of the technicians working on the problem in question, a copy of the invoice showing multiples signatures by [redacted] and a copy of the credit card receipt showing the payment amount we processed. We strive to always provide the best quality, value and service to meet our customers’ needs as our current record shows contrary to [redacted] inaccurateaccusations. I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this and we hope that one customer’s animosity does not affect nine years of quality service we have provided our customers.

Anthony's was paid by the home warrantee company to unclog a shower. They came did the work and the same problem occurred that night. They came back out the next day. After walking around the house said they needed $295 to go on the roof and try to fix the problem.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

the merchant is playing his games with u and I all over again... All he provides is recorded conversations of my  my attempts to resolve dispute and he provides no relevant material to such... He has given me runaround and provides no avenue for resolution other than to rip me off for work he never did... I will forward over copy of fictitious invoice provided by merchant which clearly states in his own technician writing that he didn't get sewer drain unclogged to the degree that the city of Phoenix environmental services got involved and requested that we get a licensed plumber to fix issue... We did do so and paid for that services to also include cleanup of grounds surrounding that's sewer backup feces etc.... Can you provide me address as to where to mail these pertinent documents which reveals that merchants unethical and impractical billing and business practices.. I can be reached at [redacted]. Thank you in advance for your valuable assistance.. I will admit that I have and still am frustrated with merchant and his practices to deceive..sincerely, Ken salman

Anthony's Plumbing is a very professional business. They schedule appointments in a reasonable amount of time. Their technicians are knowledgeable and take time to explain your choices of plumbing. The office staff is pleasant and answers questions to the best of their ability. I've used this business several times. Right now I'm working with Mark Johnstone on a large job. He has been super about explaining the progress of the job, working with my contractor and keeping my tenants informed. I will continue to use this business.

Anthony's Plumbing employees are very courteous and professional and above all, do great work. I have hired Anthony's on three occasions and have been very impressed with every facet of their company. I highly recommend them for all your plumbing needs from home warranty covered work to new installs such as water softeners etc.

Review: On June 28 , 2015 I had a drain clog at my residence and looked for plumber on craiglist and found Anthony's plumbing advertising a special for opening drain clogs for $55.00. I called and they came out to unclog my drain... I met briefly with technician and all he was interested in was to get my credit card number or cash deposit to ensure payment before he began work... I thought that was odd but still gave him my [redacted] card as my concern was to get sewer drain unclogged ...I left for errands and when I came back my drain was still unclogged .. As I asked for a progress report from technician, he stated that he needed to get a bigger snake in order to unclog drain...he then left and came back 2 hours later without snake saying another technician is going to bring it.., I waited again another hour and technician says that he couldn't get the large snake 150 ft and he would come back in morning... He did return following morning without any equipment needed to unclog drain and my drain was not unclogged... He wasted my time and had me go through a nightmare of waiting unable to leave to take care of my business, spent all day and night smelling the odor from sewer clog.. More so , he without asking took 5 pieces of new lumbar from my side yard to throw over sewer backache so he could walk on... In addition to that the would he laid puncture a water line on side of building... A total damage cost of $120.00...this company are unprofessional and crooked .. They didn't clear my drain and damaged my property... When coming home later I find an invoice from Anthony's plumbing for an amount of $ 186???no work was performed and when calling them to inquire this charge they gave me run around which clearly illustrated their deceptive business practices,,, they must be stopped from ripping consumers like myself off..please help me with these crooked people.I had to call another plumbing company [redacted] plumbing phone number 602 402 3727 ...Desired Settlement: That they remove this false unauthorized charge from my [redacted] card for the no work they did..l I called to get my drain and clogged.. They didn't unclog it and instead they charge me and destroy my property,,I want reimbursement for my damages of my property in amount of $120.00.. And finally I want this company to be reprimanded for this illegal practice...
