Mike Diamond Services
Reviews and Complaints

I've used them a couple times now and never really had any issues. I'm 50 years old homeowner and been around the block a couple times so always cautious with this type of stuff. Main line needed snaking. I know the issue...it's a tree root that's a little beyond my little Home Depot DIY snake. For $100, they can come clear the brush covering the drain and get their hands all dirty doing the job, money well spent. This time they said they couldn't snake it...total blockage so they were going to call out a "field supervisor" who was going to scope it. I rebuffed and said I was going to call someone else to which they offered to scope for free. I confirmed still $99 out the door to which they acknowledged, keeping in mind they advertise if they can't clear the drain it's no charge. So these guys don't want to be at my house for free if I send them packing.

Sup shows up going on and on how "he's on my side", and "only wants to help". After hearing that 3 or 4 times, it's pretty obvious where this job is heading. After going over my lawn with some fancy Ghostbusters looking gadgets, says he can't scope it because its full backup and for $2250, they'll tear up the front yard and figure it out 🤣🤣. Informed them that was not on the table and thanked them for their time.

So now...plan B, the cheaper plan, for $650 they'll use a water jet to try and clear it. It's still a "no" and I thank them for coming out. So he drops the water jet price to $250. It's still a "no" from me, so then he drops it to $150 and we go ahead and roll with it. LO AND BEHOLD! The $150 water jet works on a job where the $100 snake wouldn't. Pretty sure either he wasn't snaking it correct, or he was lying. I'm going with the lying part. I had this drain snaked more times than I can count. I know he's full of it.

Why not offer the $150 water jet to me from the beginning, or why not even $100? Why do we have to do the song and dance and work our way backwards starting with the most expensive job first. I get it...they're trying to make money. And I am sure they make plenty off people less fortunate. It's hard to find good, trustworthy people these days, and we can add Mike Diamond to the list of people we can't trust. Buyer beware. Don't be afraid to get a second opinion from another plumber. While we're at it...same goes for electricians. I have same stories with them

Called for service on a continually running toilet. Quoted me $700 to change the flapper and fill valve, PLUS the $95 charge just to come out ($75 fee plus $20 for "high gas prices"). Told me it was because the parts for my toilet are expensive. Found them at Home Depot for less than $50. In addition, the "diagnosis" was for a faulty fill valve but also wanted to change the flapper for no apparent reason. Called two other plumbers and got estimates between $175 and $250.

So, I had a bit of a problem with my plumbing and decided to give Mike Diamond a call. They came out and did their thing, but unfortunately, they charged me a whopping $550 for a service that didn't even fix the problem. To make matters worse, their diagnosis of the issue wasn't even accurate. Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed with the whole experience.

But, I didn't let that get me down. I decided to take matters into my own hands and called up an independent plumber. And you know what? They were able to fix the problem the same day! It was such a relief to finally have everything working properly again.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend Mike Diamond to anyone. Their prices are way too high for the quality of service they provide, and their diagnosis skills are seriously lacking. If you're looking for a reliable plumber, I suggest you look elsewhere.

So, I had a clogged drain and called Mike Diamond to come fix it. He did a good job and got the drain cleared, but he charged me way more than I was expecting. He said it was because he had to take apart and reconnect the pipe under my kitchen sink, which turned a half hour job into a one hour job. I understand that he had to do extra work, but I wasn't expecting to pay triple the $99 cost. I mean, $287 for an hour's work seems like a lot to me. But hey, if he can make that kind of money, maybe I should become a plumber too! Overall, I'm happy with the work he did, but I wish he had been more upfront about the cost.

I gotta say, I was pretty disappointed with Mike Diamond's services. I mean, I paid $99 for a garbage disposal installation, but it turned out that the issue was just a plug that wasn't removed during the installation. And get this, he didn't even have a clamp for the hose that I provided! What a joke, right? And to top it all off, he charged me $250 for the whole thing. I don't usually write reviews, but this was just too much for me to handle.

So, I called back and they said they could send someone out that night, but it would be $300. I was desperate, so I agreed. Mike Diamond came out and cleared the clog, but it only took him about 10 minutes. I felt like I got ripped off, but at least we had water again. I wouldn't recommend them unless you're in a bind and have no other options.

So, I had a problem with my water heater and I called Mike Diamond Services to come and take a look. The technician who came out was really nice and knew what he was doing. He said that the water heater needed to be replaced and gave me a quote for $4,000 plus installation costs. I thought that was a lot of money, so I decided to get another company to come and give me a quote.

The other company came out and gave me a quote for a brand new water heater and installation for only $1200! I couldn't believe the difference in price. I ended up going with the other company and I'm really happy with the new water heater.

Overall, I think Mike Diamond Services is a good company, but their prices are just too high for me. If you're looking for a professional and courteous technician, then they're a good choice. But if you're looking for a good deal, then you might want to shop around.

I called Mike Diamond Services to book an appointment for a plumbing issue I was having. The person on the phone asked me if I wanted a morning or afternoon appointment, which was convenient for me. I took the day off work to wait for the technician to arrive. However, after waiting until 1pm, I decided to call the service center to see what was going on. I was put through to a manager named Louis, who informed me that the technician was not going to be able to make it until three days later. I was disappointed that I had taken the day off work for nothing and that there was no communication about the delay.

I had also purchased a service agreement from Mike Diamond Services, which made the situation even more frustrating. I would advise others to avoid this company and their services. The lack of communication and delay in service was unacceptable.

So, we had this Moen bathroom faucet that we wanted to get installed. We called up Mike Diamond and two plumbers showed up. They looked under our bathroom sink and then went out to their truck for like 15 minutes to write up an estimate. The estimate they gave us was for a whopping $1,175.33 just to install the faucet! We were like, "What the heck?!" We paid the $76.41 service fee and sent them on their way.

The next day, we had a licensed plumber come to install the faucet and he only charged us $100.00! Can you believe that? We were so mad at Mike Diamond for trying to rip us off like that. We're gonna tell everyone in our community - the Men's Club, Women's Club, Garden Club, and anyone else who will listen - about these outrageous charges, especially for seniors. It's just not right.

Overall, we were really disappointed with Mike Diamond's service. We thought they were supposed to be a reputable company, but they just tried to take advantage of us. We won't be using them again and we definitely won't be recommending them to anyone we know.

I had a problem with my kitchen sink being clogged, so I decided to give Mike Diamond a call. The person on the phone was really nice and quoted me a price that I was willing to pay. When the plumber arrived, he was able to fix the problem in just 5-10 minutes. I was impressed with how quickly he was able to solve the issue.

However, things took a turn when the plumber said that the drain basket needed to be replaced. He told me that it would cost an additional $300 to replace it. On top of that, he said that two bolts needed to be tightened on the bathroom faucet. The total bill now came to $600, which was way more than I was expecting.

I was shocked and told him that I couldn't afford to pay that much. He left with just $99 plus $20 for travel, which was the total amount that I was quoted over the phone when I first called. I was relieved that I didn't have to pay more than I could afford.

Overall, I was happy with the service that Mike Diamond provided in terms of fixing the clogged sink. However, I was disappointed with the upselling tactics that were used. It didn't seem ethical to me, and I would caution others to be aware of this when using their services.

So, I had a problem with my sink and two shower drains. I was looking for a solution and found Mike Diamond Services. They advertised a $99 per drain service fee, which sounded reasonable to me. I decided to give it a try and called them.

The technician arrived on time and was very friendly. His name was Leo, and he seemed to know what he was doing. He inspected the drains and suggested a water jet treatment to the line, which would cost an additional $400. I agreed to it since I wanted to get the problem fixed as soon as possible.

However, one of the shower lines was still not moving, and Leo had to use a snake to clear it out. He charged me another $99 for that, which I thought was a bit too much for just 30 seconds of work. At the end of the service, he tried to sell me some enzyme crystals for maintenance, which were another $99. I refused to buy them since I felt like I had already spent enough money on the service.

Overall, Leo was great and very knowledgeable. He did a good job fixing the drains, but I was not happy with the additional charges. I think it's important for companies to be transparent about their pricing and not gouge customers. I don't think I will be calling Mike Diamond Services again, but I would recommend them to others if they are okay with the upselling and additional charges.

I gotta say, I used to be a fan of Mike Diamond Plumbing. They did some good work for me in the past, but I gotta tell ya, my recent experience has left me feeling pretty sour. My Mom needed a new water heater, and we called up Mike Diamond to get a quote. They told us it would cost $3,227.00 plus $273.00 for the permit. That's a pretty steep price, if you ask me, but we went ahead and paid a 10% down payment of $323.00 in cash and $273.00 on a credit card for the permit.

Then came the real kicker. The tech they sent out to install the water heater was two days late! That's two days without hot water, folks. Not cool. And when he finally did show up, he tried to collect an extra $227.00 on top of the $3,000.00 we had already agreed to pay. I mean, come on. That's just shady.

I'm not one to complain, but I really feel like we got taken advantage of here. The price was too high, the installation was delayed, and they tried to squeeze more money out of us at the last minute. I'm sorry to say it, but I won't be doing business with Mike Diamond Plumbing again.

Called their Customer Service phone number to schedule an appointment. Appointment was scheduled with a window from 8:00am - 1:00pm. I called the center on the day of the appointment to verify as there was no show or courtesy call. I finally received a call back and they told me it would be at least a few more hours so I had to cancel. I believe a 5 hour window is plenty of time and if you are running late, give the customer a call. I was told they would make me a priority the following day and would definitely be there before 11:00am and call an hour prior showing up. On 8/29, I received no call. I called the Customer Service Center once again to ask if anyone was going to show up. The rep passed me on to her manager - Greg. Greg stated once again they are running late and it would be later on that day. Once again, no courtesy call...I canceled the appointment as Greg had no care in the world that I have already wasted hours of my time waiting for service. I guess this company does not care about their customers. Not a single worry from this group.

I was told the cost of pulling the toilet from it's seat was $350.00 extra. I agreed to that because the drain needed to be draining. After the job was complete I was told if I pay cash the job would be cheaper. I was given the option to pay with 2 checks due to the fact that I had no cash on me, 1 check for Mike Diamond, and 1 check to the tech doing the job. I informed the tech that I would write 1 check for the job payable to Mike Diamond. The date this happened was today 03/23/2016. I don't have the client number but the contract receipt he gave me is 2300384. The name on his shirt was Gabriel.
The total cost to me was $449.00. The job took one hour 25 minutes from start to the time the tech drove off. I thought your company should know that you could be loosing money with people like this working for you. I'm asking you to review my bill and if you see fit to refund anything that's up to you. Thank you for looking into this please let me know the outcome.

Again Thank You

I scheduled a bathroom faucet repair for my aunt. My aunt is 94 yrs old and is careful with her money. When the Smell Good Plumber got there he suggested a new faucet since this was the original faucet from the 80's. He went to his truck to see if my aunt could get a discount and gave us the estimate of $1165.90 which included a faucet $726.58 and the pop-up for $334.37. I almost fell over. My father just had his kitchen faucet replaced for $250 including faucet, pipes and labor. I told Smell Good she could not afford $1165.90 faucet and I went to Home Depot that night bought a nice faucet for $125 and a pop-up for $25. My husband took off work and installed it for her.
Mike Diamond does take advantage of poor little old ladies that don't know any better and are stuck when a household problem arises.
I would never call Mike Diamond and his Smell Good Plumbers, they smell FISHY.

Our water heater was leaking, needed a new one installed. Our water heater is located in the basement, so a special heater with a fan for ventilating was needed. The price was ludicrous, but we had to move quickly because I had company, water in the basement, etc. The serviceman quoted a price of $4500 for the "special" water heater. He also did not give us a breakdown of costs: labor, water heater price, etc. He just gave us a blanket price of $8500! When the water heater came, I asked him the model number of the water heater and I looked it up on the internet -- Only $1700 for the cost of the unit! Then he started back pedaling and said he could probably save us on the installation and reduce the price! He ended up cutting the cost by $1, 000. What a dishonest company. Rip off all the way!

Hired the plumbing company Mike Diamond to fix a back up problem in our main pipe in out mobile home. He came and I was thinking that they would hook up main pipe to another pipe that would drain the sewage in to a tanker for health and safety of my family (3 children under the age of 5 yrs). NO they didn't do that, they just let all that raw sewage drain all over our driveway, around our faucet by the hose, and under our mobile home! He left the mess and left me and my family and our health in a very dirty unsafe situation! I call to complain, but was just pushed aside as our health and safety of my children doesn't matter! Now in order to get it clean we need $2, 000 + to have under our home and around our home clean and safe again, but we are an extremely low income family and can't afford to pay that! So what are we to do! Thanks for nothing Mike Diamond and I will NOT be recommending you to anyone EVER! And if we get sick I'll see you in court! attach pictures taken outside 5 hrs later and no pictures of under home yet!
Signed a VERY unsatisfied customer!

Call him for a main line stoppage...told it would be 99.00. The guy arrived, complained that he needed to be a foot from the pipe, (he was 2 feet away) and a bush was "in the way"...all this would mean was extra charges...Nothing was said on website about needing to be 1 foot away, or about bushes. Pipe is completely accessible and has been acessed many time without problem...This was a rip off for more money. Did not happen, as hubby told him no way was he paying for BS charges. Called someone else...no problem.

My shower was backed up. The tech. said he couldn't get the snake past the original "saxophone" style trap and told my wife that it needed to be replaced with another trap that the snake could fit through. This would cost $800. I have three problems with this... since investigating the problem myself. 1. There is an access port under my raised foundation house, which would have allowed access without making the bend. 2. The sink is connected and access could have been gained easily from there as well 3. I made it past the trap in the shower on my first attempt with a $30 drill powered snake from Lowes. I will never call these scam artists again!

After hearing Mike Diamond Plumbing commercials all the time, on Sunday we called them regarding a main that needed to be snaked. They promised to be out in 45 minutes and now, low and behold (3 hours later) they say they cannot get a tech out until tomorrow morning. It's only 3:15pm and they are supposidly open 7 days a week, 7am-7pm and they cannot get someone out here after promising 45 minutes 3 hours ago? My husband said to cancel the order and the woman was a complete witch to him and was as rude as she could be. We cannot even flush a toilet... How can we wait until tomorrow? They are a shady company who is big on false advertising and I suggest you stay as far away from them as you can!
