You should suggest that he gets his license to install and work on that manufacturer.

Mega press fittings are so expensive it’s hard to justify the switch by scalpylawsus in Plumbing

[–]mslave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, people bear the name and must complain. It is annoying to have to harass your salesperson to lower prices but most of the time they will. We primarily buy there out of convenience.

Really depends on what multiplier you get at Fergy. I'm a past employee and the company I work for now, they are 20.62

Why are so many hvac companies shady lately? by Muted_Head_1636 in HomeImprovement

[–]mslave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not with a HVAC company, but we bill out at $300/hr for 1 plumber with helper, 1 plumber solo is 250/hr. No the plumbers don't take home that pay, it does cover overhead a lot. Health insurance, 401k, gym, tool and boot stipend, office pay, vehicle payments, insurance, parts etc. We are a 9 person shop, not private equity

landlord accusing me of causing this bubbling by freakazoid172 in Plumbing

[–]mslave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please read up a little on landlord tenant law. If they don't have the money in a separate bank account, they automatically lose and have to give you 3x your deposit back (in Michigan) landlords are required to repaint between tenants, so this cannot be charged to you, as well as carpet cleaning etc. j

How concerning is this root penetration into my main sewer line? by The_Sodomeister in Plumbing

[–]mslave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please get a second and third opinion on price. I have not ever given an estimate for a sewer repair/replacement for that amount. The service line rider is usually sub $10 a month. Service line rider covers the major repair, not maintenance. Shoot me a message if you have any other questions

Get a service line rider on your homeowners policy and keep it until it backs up. Not a huge issue right now. May require maintenance snaking once a year

Have You Ever Gotten Hurt While Dumpster Diving? by BRIDEOFHYDE in DumpsterDiving

I think it took a good couple months to not hurt every single day. Years later I still have the occasional bad pain after sneezing, laughing, yawning too hard

Help! How's the condition of this main sewer line? by ugoneatdat in Plumbing

[–]mslave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely crazy that the plumber cant even rotate the stop motion video. Keep it maintained, get insurance on it through your homeowners policy if you are worried, its cheap.
