These people are HORRIBLE! I truly can't express this enough. Our outside line froze up 2 weeks ago. We had a hard time finding a plumber that would offer the thawing service, and we finally found Salyer. They seemed like the only company that could possibly help us so although we balked at the $500/hr price we were quoted, we had no choice but to accept it. They were scheduled to come to our house on Monday, but we were not given a window of time, so I made sure to be home all day. The morning, and afternoon came and went and we hadn't heard from them. I called them in the late afternoon and it seemed they had "forgotten" about us. They finally made it to our property on Tuesday. They stayed for about 45 minutes, and didn't unload any equipment off of their truck. They said they encountered a problem and had to wait for someone from Public Works to show up. At this point, I should mention that we got Salyer's recommendation FROM Public Works. That guy showed up, suggested that Salyer dig in our yard or the street, and then they left, and said they would be sending out a sight surveyor in the next couple days to give us an official quote for the work. I don't know how they came to the decision that they would have to dig. They didn't attempt to use their thaw machine, or really anything else. They just stood around and smoked cigarettes, and then left. We were never contacted ever again. I called their office several times and the woman who answers the phone always seems inconvenienced to talk to me. Her favorite quote is, "I'm just trying to get my head screwed on straight, OKAY??". I'm sorry I'm bothering you with my desire to PAY YOU $500 AN HOUR. Our insurance adjuster had called them as well, and never received any response from them. They have been all-around horrible people to deal with. If you need an outside line thawed, I highly recommend Mobile Welding out of Gary, Indiana. They have been MORE than willing to help us, and they only charged us $150!
