In a panic mode we used the phone book to locate a plumber, George Brazil was one of the first to come up. (alphabetically).
We placed a service call for after hours. The tech showed up and charged us $145.00 for the trip charge and $372.00 for the service fee. This was to replace the shut off valve and supply line to a toilet.
The total parts for the valve and line are about $25.00. The total amount charged to us was $517.00.
I have called three other local plumber companies and for the same service and time of nite the charges range from $180.00 to $280.00.
The other companies are; Mr. Rooter, Zeen Plumbing, and Roto-Rooter. All companies are located in the same city. (La Habra, CA). I have contacted the office and am waiting to hear from a manager for a credit back / fair charge.
