Best Appointment Scheduling in Chesapeake VA

My co-worker recommended me to this company, since I am a new homeowner and do not know anything about plumbing and any good plumber around the area. So I read all the reviews here. Many were positives and a few negatives, so I gave it a shot. $69 to diagnose my clogged pipe, which no brainer and only took less than 30 minutes, and gave me a price quote that is ridiculously expensive ($253 to dissemble and assemble the toilet and $293 to snake the upstairs drain). He also told me that if they found the flange to be broken then that would be another $200 on top of everything to fix it. I was told that if I go with them then they will deduct the $69 from the price quote. I told him that I will consider it and paid the $69. I did my research online; I found how to dissemble and assemble the toilet and how to fix the flange. I bought a snake to clean the line, but it did not do the job. So I called them again and a different tech (Eric) gave me the same price quote as the pervious tech. I told him, if I remove the toilet would he charge me only the price for cleaning the drain and not charge me another $69, which we agreed on. However, the timing of his arrival to perform the work is unknown and I will be missing a day of work. So, I did more research online and found that you can rent power electrical auger for $76 at Home Depot, which I did and clear up my pipe and everything is operating properly. I called first thing in the morning to cancel, but they demand for $69 for Eric’s diagnose, which I told them the issue and gave him the paperwork I got from the other tech in advance and over the phone. I paid the $69 in protest. Therefore, I paid them $138 to do absolutely nothing!!!Thank you for reading my review and I apologizing for being so long, but I want to show you how annoying and unfair this company has been to me and the lesson I learned from this experience. They are the following: Do not use Atomic Plumbing for diagnostic (rid of price) – there are other companies that can perform the diagnostic much cheaper. If you can do it yourself before calling a plumber go ahead and fix it, it will save you a lot of money and headaches.
