| - on 10/18/13 this company came out to my house to install a new hot water heater
per my warranty company's suggestion , that was about five months ago. last week
noticed a water leak from the newly installed
pipes and the water seemed to be rust colored ,at that point i though i could
tighten the fitting and
i was able to a half turn on it , the next day same thing a half turn still
dripping , day three i went
lowe's to get new fittings to stop this leak, while in the plumbing department
a young man from that
department stopped to help me with the fitting i showed him the rusted out pipe
& showed him pictures from my cell phone and asked him how could a new pipe
installed less than five months ago could be this rusted out to the point of almost
falling apart , and his reply was he had only worked in the department for two months
and, still he was knowledgeable enough to know that when working with plumbing
that you can not connect a
galvanized fitting or nipple to a copper fitting or the galvanized fitting will
disintegrate in a matter of
no time . ( this was my ah ha moment ) the fact that i had paid this company
$275.00 on top of what the warranty company paid them. for the sum of $275.00, i
the home owner had to go behind this professional
plumber and re-install new fitting / drain the water heater / go to lowe's / and
a plumbing supply store. to replace the bad parts.
( DO NOT USE THIS PLUMBING COMPANY WHAT EVER YOU DO ) OR YOU WILL
BE SORRY. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.
P.S - THE CITY INSPECTION WAS APRIL 16/ 2014 , THE INSPECTOR ADVISED
ME THAT HAD I NOT ( CHANGED THE PIPE FITTING ) AND THEY WERE LEAKING
WHEN HE CAME TO DO THE INSPECTION OF THE WATER HEATER
IT WOULD NOT HAVE PASSED THE INSPECTION FOR A
PERMIT, AND HE SAID I SHOULD GO AFTER THEM......... ( 0 STAR RATEING ) .
