Paul C. Oswald Plumbing & Heating

My husband and I had a leak in our first floor bathroom waste pipe. As is our way we requested (3) Vendors to come in and give us a proposal on fixing this leak. This Plumber has to be one of the least honest vendors we have ever met. The first two Plumbers came in and explained to us what needed to be done plus the cost. This guy comes in and wants to replace all the pipes in both bathrooms in our home. He then proceeded to tell us that other pipes in our home had to be replaced. We listened politely and told him we would get back to him. According to the other Plumbers we interviewed this was a job that requires only the waste pipes to be replaced. We felt that this company was trying to take advantage of us. We hired one of the other two Plumbers who did a fabulous job. We had no intention of hiring this company but wanted to warn other homeowners.
My advice to everyone is, always get 3 – 4 proposals/​estimate on anything that requires a skilled person like a plumber, electrician etc.
You will find that out of the group that at least one will try and over charge you. I also advise that you educate yourself regarding the repair and ask them plenty of questions. This way you can choose the best vendor for the job.
