Tim’s Plumbing & Drain Cleaning

Tim is very sweet, and he shows up. He does a good job. Workers comp is hard and very expensive. My ex was a contractor. In that arena, it’s hard to have employees at all.

My property management company sent him to fix a sewage/​gray water leak under our kitchen. I met him outside the front door of my home, and had to tell him twice that the crawl space was outside by the kitchen, and had to stop him and physically open it for him and point it out, because he was about to go in my house! He gets down to look at it, and asked me for a flashlight because his was dead. Didn’t offer to get batteries and come back, just asked to borrow one of mine. I didn’t have one. I was sitting in my home (I’m a female) with another female friend, her young child, and my dog, when the side door opened and a male came in. I thought it was my boyfriend off work early, it was not. It was the plumber coming into my home, uninvited, and without knocking, or even entering the door which I had greeted him at. This made me and my friend with the small child very uncomfortable! Lucky for him, my dog was outside, and not a biter, or else he would have been in a world of hurt and my dog would have had every right to bite him. He never fixed his flashlight, never physically went under the house, and said he would «just come by tomorrow,» at which I replied, «You mean that you will call me tomorrow to schedule an appointment?» he said yes, and rattled off my number which he had memorized. It’s 5pm the next day, over 24 hours after his first visit. Still no call to book an appointment. He was very unprofessional, unprepared, looked like a current or former meth user (not holding a grudge, my dad is too), made us women feel very uncomfortable by entering our home unannounced and uninvited (I had just had maintenance and Terminex over, and they knocked before they entered my home). He never showed me or gave me a business card or a number to reach him. I generally found him creepy, unprepared, and I feel like he violated my home by coming in the side door uninvited. I just placed a call to my property management company and have requested a different plumbing service. It’s all free to me because the property company/​landlord pays for it so the cost doesn’t factor into my review. It’s the fact he came unprepared and really weirded us out. Would not recommend.
Update on 7÷10÷2014 Tim’s Plumbing has recently been charged with workers comp fraud and grand theft. I would not let these people into your home!

terrible. do not call for plumbing problems unless you are made of money and have a lot of time to waste.

Have used Tim’s Plumbing over the years and they have always done a good job for a reasonable rate, but have NEVER been quick about it. This go-​around, though, takes the cake. Not only did I have to wait and wait for them to come… as in DAYS, but the plumber just walked off the job in the middle, due to his conflict with Tim. Not sure what to do now.

Had them service my house twice through my property management company and despite the low cost, they know what they are doing and will do it well too. Both visits were quick, unobtrusive and expertly done. Great business ethic and won’t try to charge you for unnecessary, unfinished jobs.
