Extremely dissatisfied and totally doubting the work that was done. Unfortunately, my plumbing emergency occurred on a weekend, and my regular plumber was swamped and couldn't get to a sewer backup for two weeks. I would have been much better off calling the village in the first place. They were wonderful. I am worried I was totally ripped off for $4,000 and my front yard is all dug up. There is unfortunately, a huge sense of urgency when you are without indoor plumbing. The first tech never returned a glass and never even emptied to buckets of sewer water and got my basement carpeting soaked for $179. I should have insisted on seeing proof of the costly repair quoted the next day through cameras and the compromised sewer pipe connection. Trust no one, especially a plumber. And are they really licensed plumbers or only techs. The two techs who jackhammered my front stoop, replaced the connection, installed an outdoor access point, removed excess material and added gravel were good. A village inspector approved their work. But I never saw the compromised connection. I should have insisted. In addition, Precision Plumbing couldn't rod out to the village sewer in the street after three tries, but the other plumber contracted by the village got through on the first try. Imagine that. The supervisor, Chris Hart, who replaced a seal on my toilet, never even removed the old wax seal or properly checked the connection from the shut-off to the toilet. A bucket of water filled up in my basement, after the ceiling was soaked, under the first floor toilet. The responses from Precision Plumbing on the Yelp forum are totally fabricated. The owners are John Zagoul; and Mike Barowski. There is no such person as Matt M. The only time they provide service is to pick up a check for work that wasn't necessary. Stay away. These people are scammers.
