I called Able Plumbing to come give me an estimate on a sewer leak we had under our home in April of 2012. They sent their workmen to come out within a day who looked under the house, but because of all the sewer water under there he couldn't get under to take a close look. They gave us an estimate to repair 4 foot of the line where he could just see where the water was coming from. We had to hire a seperate contractor to pump all the water out from under our home. The young man that came out was very helpful in giving me the names of some places to call to do the pumping, but a whimp at everything else. When he was able to get under he said he couldn't do anything because it was infested with leaches, even his boss told him they were black snails. He also said we were snake infested, and when I asked him the next day how many he saw, he said it only takes one. \r
The contractor that pumped the water out also laid out plastic under the house and boards so that the boys wouldn't have anything else to complain about and get the job done. Needless to say I don't need whimps under my home to do a job so I was not going to use them again. About the end of Jan. 2013 we started smelling sewer again and I called my contractor out to look. He said there was water everywhere again and he climbed under to look. The sewer was coming from the exact area where Able supposedly fixed our problem to, according to their records ""re-attach 4 foot of sewer line"" which cost me almost $1,500. My contractor pulled all the sewer line from back to front of my home, everything, and replaced all pipe for the same amount but found that the pipe that Able's guys were supposed to have re-attached, were just laying on the ground un-aligned with each other, no primer or plumbing glue or cement at all. Just laying there. Which was allowing the sewer to just come out of the pipe. Of course Ben took up for his workers, but I trust my contractor and I know he would never lie to me. I would never recommend these people to anyone.
