Avoid this company at all cost! In early March 2018, I had a sewer line problem at my house. I have a home warranty and John Hudgins plumbing is who my warranty service contracted for the job. The plumber sent to my home was not able to find a trap in my yard to access the sewer line, they told me they would have to access the line by a vent in my roof. They used a metal cable to feed into my sewer line from the roof. When they did this the metal cable was allowed to scrape and scuff my new gutters in multiple places. They were less than one year old and in perfect condition prior to them coming to my house. During the job the cable became stuck and they eventually left the equipment and came back the next day. There was absolutely no communication on the second day. I had no idea what time they would be back to my house and nobody would return my call. Once the cable became stuck it was obvious they had no interest doing their job and actually fixing the problem but rather just wanted to retrieve their equipment and leave. After they were able to free the line on the second day I was given an invoice for $75, which is the copay with my home warranty and was told that was all I owed. I asked the technician to take a look at the damage they caused to my gutters and all he said was well I'll just have to talk to the owner and go from there. They left and the plumbing problem was no closer to being fixed.
I left multiple messages and never heard back from them over the next week. Finally, a person answered when I called. She said I owed them $1000 for their service, I was being billed per hour, per technician, for them to 1. not fix the problem and 2. Damage my property. She offered to have someone with the plumbing company come out and spray paint my gutters. Another week went by and still I had heard anything from them. I called back and talked to the same woman. When I asked why I have not spoken to anyone that can fix my problem she stated well you never asked to speak with the owner. She eventually hung up on me after suggesting that I had previously damaged my gutters and wanted them to fix it. Its been a month and haven't gotten anything from them, not even a phone call. LOOK ELSEWHERE IF YOU NEED A PLUMBER!
