Plumbing scam
My 83 year old uncle recently moved to The Villages after the death of his wife. He bought a two year old villa. Last week, the handle that flushes the toilet fell off and he wasn't able to figure out how to put it back on. So he went to the phonebook and called PAT THE PLUMBER. They came out and told him that The Villages installs cheap plumming and he needed to have some of his plumming fixed. This included both bathrooms and all of the faucets in all the sinks.
They charged him $1,200.00 to do this. They scared him into believing that unless this was done, his plumming would all break.
If you want to use PAT THE PLUMBER for your project, go right ahead, but I would not recommend them to anyone at all. They clearly took advantage of an old man who lives by himself.
This is not just another one of those stories that circulate thru The Villages, this is the truth and I can prove it to you.
Thank you for reading this and if you are looking for a plummer to do any services in your home, I would NEVER recommend them.
