Work completed, charges excessive, no breakdown of costs provided

published

The staff seemed friendly and trustworthy, and I thought they were trying to help me, however their fee is unjustifiably high, and the options they provided me with were overpriced, they charged me $2700 to replace a Dux storage tank with a Rinnai continuous flow hot water system, I realised they had overcharged me but was unable to renegotiate a reasonable price because I had signed a contract. I like my Rinnai but am unable to recommend them because I felt really upset by the overcharge, they also add a membership fee to the quote and can't explain why they charge so much, I asked for an invoice detailing a breakdown of costs and they said no

Great job! Friendly and helpful.

James from SA Drains came today and fixed my leaky shower taps. He arrived within the appointed time and was very thorough and cleaned up after himself. The additional free safety inspection on my plumbing was a bonus. Very happy! Invoice 7116

From first phone call to have someone come out and give us a quote for work to be done the service has been excellent. Phone calls to let us know when someone would be here to explaining what is happening. This is our second call out for 2 different jobs and would definitely recommend.

Thorough fixing of all issues.

published

Thorough inspection of all possible issue’s. Friendly service. All issue’s fixed In good time. Preemptive fix on issue that would have blown up in less than a month, saving us the hassle of getting it fixed later.


Great customer service and quality work

published

The guys were great today, they arrived on time, they were very respectful and polite. They got on with the job explained everything before they started and explained what they did. I also paid exactly to the quote no surprises. So I am very happy with the job. Thanks to the team

Dishonest

Called them out to find the issue was with SA Water, they then claim the fee from SA Water and billed me as well, they deserve to be paid, but not twice - what a scam! For this reason I would not recommend.

Thumbs up for SA Drains

published

We had SA Drains around this morning to fix a leaking pipe on the inlet to our house.
The plumber was a great friendly fella and replaced our old fittings with a new system that should last now for years.
High quality work and would definitely get them back again.

DO NOT USE - SCAMMERS

Thanks for driving my grandma to the bank and draining her account. Job still unfinished and a mess which hasn’t been seen to.

Thousands for a new toilet?
Don’t think so.

Causing more issues to gain more fixes? Thanks for your honesty.

Water leak

I had to call out SA Drains late Saturday afternoon after coming home and finding I had a water leak in my yard. Brendan arrived that evening and was able to get the problem fixed. Very happy with the service and impressed he stayed till after 8pm to make sure me and my family had water. Invoice number 6992

Great. Fantastic prompt service. I would recommend using SA Drains and will be calling them again for other plumbing issues in the future. Great to see inside the drain with the high camera.

Great service

published

Hot water tank failed but a call to SA Drains resulted in Ben coming within the hour and then together with the electrician they installed and replumbed a new hot water tank the same day. A job very well done by two excellent tradies whom I will get back in a heartbeat if I have any other plumbing issues. Great service SA Drains

Warning Warning Don't Use This Company

published

Most unreliable company made booking Monday for electrical work to be done, told this would be done between 12.00pm - 4.00pm Wednesday, didn't happen notified 3.00pm on Wednesday came first thing Thursday morning. Price quoted to disconnect spa and reconnect spa at a later date $425.00. I didn't accept quote for what would be a ten minute job on both occasions. I rang a reputable electrical company and was charged $125 for the disconnect and reconnect, I believe this company is taking advantage of consumers and needs to be investigated by consumer affairs.

Blocked drain

Arrived on time on both occasions, the boys are very professional and smart. Gave me many options to resolve my drain issues at my house. Im so glad ive used SA Drains!!!
10/10 will recommend to all my friends and family

Scammers

published

They are scammers... Refused to give itemised invoice... Quoted over $5000 for a job which was a complete rip off... They seem to tell everyone the same story your pipes need replacing... Do not go through S.A. Drains they are very dodgy... They did a job at my house and I was not impressed at all...

Sadly, not a 5 star review

published

Originally called SA Drains for a water hammer issue, Allen the plumber was very polite and helpful and said that there was a 90% chance of fixing this problem. $2,700 later and the water hammer is worse.
Simon (Manager) recommended spending another $560 for arrestors with no guarantees and me out of pocket if it doesn't work. As it turns out, my water pipes are in the walls and not in the roof which was not determined until after the work was carried out. Initial inspection could have saved me a lot of $$$.
5 star for Allen
1 star for the unresolved matter

Invoice no. 6837. Plumber Rick was very professional in the job he performed. Having arrived on time, friendly, trustworthy and good at his trade. I would recommend SA Drains to anyone requiring a plumber.

Why do they lie in their adverts, claiming to be a local guy, yet they have 5 different adverts with 5 different names, but in the small print is SA Drains.......con merchants

Because he is probably an interstate con man running a call centre/office here in Adelaide with foreigners. They advertise on facebook for local tradesmen, then indoctrinate/brainwash them into using their crooked up-sell procedures. You should see the emailed reply I got after asking them for a refund. They can't even use the English language properly, which makes me wonder if they are Indians or something. All they offered was a $50 Woolworths voucher/bribe which I am not going to accept. Instead I reported them to Business and Consumer Affairs who are investigating them.

I'm not in their system, and never will be.
They advertise a "local guy in your area" in our local paper, but there's 5 different ads, 5 different "local guys in my area" all with SA Drains in very small print......con merchants!
Steer clear of adverts like these and support "Real LOCAL businesses". Do your research and avoid SA Drains.
And the only person who's got a complaint about my comments only joined Product review today and it's their only comment.....maybe he's my "local guy in my area"........ffs! They really do think we are stupid!!!
