Clear View Plumbing And Heating

Quoted $195 for travel and quotation for a leaking pipe. Two options presented, Option A for $675 and option B for over $1000. Appproval was given for option A and payment made. Technician then spent 45 minutes and determined that he could not complete the repair as more needed to be replaced. We were quoted an outrageous price of over $2000 to fix the problem, which we ultimately fixed for $1239 through another provider. When asked what the charge would be for the time attempting to make the repair, they responded with a 'diagnostic fee' of $250 which is according to them a standard charge but not quoted to us. I wouldn't recommend Clearview for the exorbitant prices, requested upfront payment (this is optional by LAW) and bad customer service. Although I might want to work as a plumber if the charge our rates are $250 for 45 minutes of work.
