WARNING - Do not hire!!!! I recently had to repair $30,000 in water damage, caused by construction debris. Because of this back-up I contacted K&A to bid on repairs and to move a washer from the main floor to the basement. During K&A's inspection, the plumber mentioned several times that my home looked very familiar. As he was leaving he remembered that he had been to my home twice with the previous owner. I asked him what he found after running a camera. At that time he told me that the previous owner refused to have a camera run, due to the $100 expense. We went back to the basement and the K&A plumber pointed out exactly where he believed the blockage was. He also said he believed it was construction debris. Afterwards the K&A plumber called me and said he would not be bidding on my job, because I decided to pursue legal action against the previous owner, based on what he said. He said he felt it was a conflict. I then hired another plumber who removed construction debris exactly where the K&A plumber said it was. Later the K&A plumber stated in a letter to the previous owners lawyer, that he never told me that he suggested running a camera and that a camera that small doesn't exist. The new plumber ran a small enough camera, where I was told by K&A the blockage was, to determine the extent of the blockage. He removed a small plastic disc used to cover the toilet drain during construction. The disc was exactly what the K&A plumber assumed it was. The K&A plumber also states in the same letter that he removed the blockage and determined that no further action was required. I believe had the K&A plumber removed the plastic disc that I would not have had to have $30,000 in water damage repaired.
