"Before I start my complaint I'd like to say that the 2nd (survey) team from Favinger were extremely polite and professional. My complaint is specifically about Nick's behavior and management's failure to address the issue honestly. On 12/8/20 Favinger sent a crew to clear our main sewer line. The main plumber was Nick, who was rude from the moment he entered the property, behaving as if he was extremely put out to have to clear the drain and complaining about having to take the auger down some stairs ("I should be charging you extra for this.") Um, ok. You literally just quoted the job. When they were done, Nick told me that he had only managed to clear a small hole through the roots and that the sewer line needed replacing. I took him at his word and started planning to have that job done. (Subsequently, via manager Catherine, I was told that Nick claimed that there was extensive root growth inside the pipe that was not possible to clear. This was either a baldfaced lie or utter incompetence as I will show below.) When I next went into the basement, I noticed that they had not cleaned up after the job - roots that they had pulled up were lying all around the clean-out. They also had not bothered to clear the drain that is about 12" from the clearout and that is used to drain any overflow that occurs when the sewer backs up. The result is that there was still 1/2" of water undrained. When I complained, they claimed not to have seen the drain but did come back to clear up the roots. 3 weeks later the sewer backed up again. So I rented a sewer snake and snaked it myself. I got a few hands full of roots up and the sewer drained just fine. A couple of weeks after I cleared the drain, a survey team from Favinger came to quote a sewer replacement. The team put a camera down the line and said that the sewer was perfectly clear (no roots) but they could see the seams where roots may intrude in future. This is directly at odds with what Nick had claimed - i.e. that it was not possible to clear the roots. Note also that Nick claimed that root treatment chemicals were not an option because the root intrusion was too great. Another obvious lie or incompetence since there is currently no existing root growth in the pipe after an amateur (i.e. me) snaked the drain. Catherine at Favinger has not bothered returning my calls, but instead has canceled our sewer replacement quote saying that we are "not a good match for them". Well maybe I agree. Scheming, lying, and obfuscating is not a good set of practices for businesses that I want to work with. Avoid at all costs."

"I bought a furnace from them which came with my first service free, they failed to show up at my 6 mo and didn't check in until year 2 where I showed up in their marketing system to try to get me to re-activate and buy into a service plan. Then when I did have an issue, I called because my furnace is still under warranty. They come out to tell me what I told them, my thermostat is dead and needs replacing. Did they bring the part? Nope, and that still cost me $160. On top of that they said it would be a second service fee plus labor to bring the part back the next day and install. Then they thought they could get cute. Since I was going to be out about $350 bucks for a warranty replacement they said I could sign up for a service plan today to save $10-20 because they would just count this as 2 of my 3 service visits. Since I wasn't able to be there, as I'm taking my fiancee to the doctor to get diagnosed with cancer the service member gladly took the cc# from my son and automatically enrolled me because he was doing me a favor."

FAQs for gas piping projects in Mount Vernon, WA

Plumbers with proper licensing and credentials install and relocate gas lines. When hiring a professional, verify they have experience with gas systems and all required certifications. Some homeowners choose to work with plumbers specializing in natural gas installations, as they have extensive experience with similar projects and understand the safety requirements.

The timeline for gas line relocation varies based on project complexity, permit processing, and inspection scheduling. The physical labor takes a few hours to one day, depending on the line length. However, the actual installation work represents only part of the overall project timeline. Your contractor should provide a specific timeframe based on your circumstances and local permitting requirements.

Your gas supply must be shut off during the relocation process. This safety measure prevents gas leaks while connections are being modified. Plan for this temporary service interruption by making alternative arrangements for cooking, heating, or other gas-dependent systems in your home. The shut-off generally only lasts for a portion of the work, often a few hours.

Relocating gas lines to connect new appliances is a common reason for this type of project. Whether you're installing a gas stove, fireplace, dryer, or outdoor grill, a professional can determine the best route for extending your existing gas system. The cost will depend on the distance between your current gas line and the new appliance location.

Gas line work is not suitable for DIY projects. Natural gas is highly flammable and potentially lethal if not handled correctly. Gas leaks can be difficult to detect without specialized equipment. Professional plumbers have the proper training, tools, and experience to safely relocate gas lines while ensuring compliance with local building codes and safety standards.
