Plumb Perfect Plumbing & Heating Experts

I had just moved to Burlington and was having some plumbing problems in the basement. I called Stan and upon arrival he informed me that he couldn’t do the job as he didn’t have the proper tools. He also told me that all the plumbing in my house was done wrong and that he would «write me up a quote» to fix it. He than called a friend who did have the tools to auger my line, and that friend told me that the line must be crushed somewhere so they would need to dig it up. They told me I had multiple problems and that I would need to have all my plumbing redone (which I was not told during the inspection). At the end of about 2 hours Stan and friend left me with plumbing that barely worked, and a bill for about $ 600. I was charged hourly for both men (even though Stan literally did nothing except call a friend and stand around). In less than a week the original problem was back, and I was recommended someone else (P and P Septic Services).
P and P came in and augured the line, told me that I did not in fact need all new plumbing, and the two men spent about the same amount of time I did with Stan. I now have working plumbing, and they only charged me $ 150. If I could give Stan a negative score I would, it feels pretty crummy knowing that I got ripped off so bad. Avoid «Stan the Plumber» at all costs.

Stan put a bathroom in my basement in 2008. Our house is now on the market and just had an inspection. He installed an upflush toilet for us and it was discovered during the inspection that he left the vent for the sewer venting into our utility room. We had no idea because it was hidden behind some pipes and we basically knew nothing about sewer vents. Now we have to rip out sheetrock to find another sewer vent to connect it to. What a disaster for us and what an epic fail as a plumber. I wish I had known more at the time so I could have made him come back and fix it, but my husband reminds me that he tried to get more money out of us at the end of the job and we had a verbal disagreement with him. So please look elsewhere for a plumber, or be sure you know what you’re doing.

Help me redesign my bathroom. Highly recommended.
