| - CROOKED COMPANY! STAY AWAY! My tenants in my rental house informed me of a leak on the kitchen floor coming from the wall. We had already isolated the leak from trial and error as it only leaked when the shower was on, and being the leak came from a wall directly under the shower on the first floor, it was virtually certain only the shower drain could be the cause. I called Precision Plumbing whom showed up promptly. I was not present but my renter was, and a Precision tech were there so I dealt with them via telephone. After the plumber cut open the drywall (like a retard with a saw) he called me and in a panic and informed me he called a "restoration company" to deal with the "catastrophic water damage." He (the plumber) made comments about the framing being ruined by water damage and possibly collapse under failure (or some kind of drama) yada, yada, yada. I NEVER TOLD HIM TO CALL ANYONE OR GAVE APPROVAL TO SUB-CONTRACT ANY WORK. However, at the time I hadn't ruled out he was potentially accurate I wasn't opposed to having a "restoration company" come to mitigate any problems if they truly required IMMEDIATE attention, but sternly told him no work was to be done without my strict authorization. Indeed, my tenant was simultaneously informing me he thought the plumber was a "hype man". I personally felt just by the sound of his voice he was amped up on something, but I was trying to be reasonable and entertain all possibilities.
The tech informed me it would be another $500 to install a new p-trap to fix the leak. By this time, I was being contacted by WFM Restoration (who was almost about as amped up as the plumber) kept saying, "MOLD AND WATER DAMAGE! YOU NEED TO FILE A CLAIM WITH YOUR INSURANCE!" They sent me a "proposal" that was as pathetic as their credentials. This dude seriously took a video of water all over the kitchen floor and himself putting his $10 Lowe's moisture meter on the wall. I literally laughed when I saw it but I got angry as he was telling my tenant all this nonsense about mold dangers and how the house was uninhabitable.
Anyway, I check out WFM Restoration and their Playskool website and I never saw such a shamelessly tacky con-job of just squeezing out free speech and self praised opinions, to the very cusp of straight up fraud. These guys should be on "To Catch a Contractor". Literally, their "proposal" contained no details of what work would be done, the owner misspelled his name (probably on purpose so he could presumably say it wasn't him) contained no pricing, and came from a Gmail address instead of an email address linked to his website. I could write a novel, but there were so many red flags I knew everything he was saying was complete BS.
I send out 2 more "big" companies whom both agreed there was no need for such drastic action and all that would be required was some air movers to dry up any residual moisture sand away any surface mildew. BOTH COMPANIES SAID THERE WAS NO TRACE OF MOLD. When I start asking WFM the "tough" questions, these guys go from blowing up my phone and salivating at the job to being completely unreachable. It was clear they were just trying to scam me.
As for Precision, I would simply avoid them at all costs. Maybe it was a tech that had a "relationship" with this "restoration company", but I called and spoke with management since I was angry they got my tenants all frantic about mold when their people should never have done that in the first place. I got the impression the management was "bored" listening to me and basically was just humoring me to get me to shut up. All in all, I think there was shadiness by the tech they sent out, and by the management whom really didn't seem to care what was going on. Their plumber literally cut open the walls like Freddy Kruger on crack. I get it, you have to cut it open to find the leak but seriously there was no effort at all to keep it straight or mitigate dust. How hard is it to draw a straight line and cut up and down? Then he just throws the waste on the porch. No cleanup at all. Makes a HUGE puddle in the middle of the kitchen WAY MORE THAN NEEDED. That makes me think he was in kahootz with the WFM people. Any competent plumber could have found that leak without leaving Lake Mead in my kitchen; not withstanding I already informed them where it essentially was.
Just stay away....scamming, sloppy work, and WAY over priced. I had another yellow page plumbing company do the work for half what they were going to charge. I basically paid them $158.00 to make a mess.
