Pool Leak Inspection Mike BEWARE! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY! Van Nuys Ca

BEWARE! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY!

I spoke with Mike re: leak detection for my combo pool/H20 (more like a pond- only 3'D on the deepest end.) His website lists the leak detection price as $250 for a pool/spa. He told me $395. We scheduled an apptmt. As per his instruction, I had to make arrangements for my pool man to turn the H20fall off (when he came the wk. prior.) I scheduled an apptmt. with Mike. NO SHOW. I called him. He said I had the wrong day. Despite the fact I wrote the apptmt. in my datebook, he scheduled a 2nd date.

This time he showed up. He wanted to park his truck on my very steep driveway rather than in front of it on the street. I never allow anyone to park there as it's an accident waiting to happen. Very tricky to maneuver and if you don't curve to the left when you back out you will hit the electric gate, which is very costly to repair. He got nasty about it and said "Then call someone else!" So I relented and allowed him to park there.

He & his assistant looked at my pool/H20 fall only to tell me he needs to come back because he needs a jackhammer to access the pipe. (DUH! Wouldn't you automatically bring a jackhammer with you in case you need one to do the inspection? And why would he need to park in my driveway when he didn't even bring the equipment to do the inspection?)

He said he needed to schedule another apptmt BUT he was going out of town to Brazil, so I would have to wait until he returned. Another couple weeks delay!!! So I scheduled apptmt. #3. And it gets worse~ it would now cost me another $125 on top of the $395 quoted! BAIT AND SWITCH!

The magic day arrived. I waited from 10AM-12PM, his usual "2 hr." time frame. NO SHOW (again.) NO PHONE CALL. I called him @ 12:30 & left a cheerful message asking if he was "on his way." NO RETURN CALL TO THIS DAY.

3 APPTMTS. & 1 MONTH LATER here I sit. Right where I started. Now I have to start the process all over again looking for a leak detection company as Mike is totally unreliable, unequipped, and rude.
