Service charges and post service treatment
Plumber came to replace my water shut off. He had to shut off the city water but his key was too short he also need a water pump as the hole was filled with water. He said the key works on MOST houses and sometimes they need a longer one and once in awhile the HOLE IS FILLED WITH WATER SOMETIMES and they need a pump. He wanted to reschedule which would mean another service call. I said no. He went to shop to get a longer key and a water pump. Got charged for the travel time. Got the bill June 16th and was charged for the driving time to get the proper tools. I called to voice my concerns and it took two emails and 9 days for someone to call me back. The man who called told me they only carry standard equipment. I tired to talk to him and asked If you know there is a possibility the key is deeper and that there may be water in the hole why not carry a long key that will work for everyone and a pump. He just kept repeating himself. So in other words they don't come prepared for something that they know is possible. He did take half hour off my bill I said thank you and was about to say more but he hung up on me.
