Report
We needed a new kitchen faucet installed. Gentleman was very nice and installed for us, but water pressure was significantly less than previous faucet. When asked about it, he said it was the faucet. Several months later, our handyman was here to fix other things and commented how it shouldn't be that way and may not have been installed correctly. I called power and the woman who answered was extremely defensive and rude that it could not possibly be an issue on the install. Mentioned several times how she and her whole family were plumbers which didn't seem relevant to a customer service inquiry. Said they would send someone out to look but was adamant we would be charged.
While our handyman was still here he took a closer look and there was sediment in the faucet head, indicating it was never cleared out as should've been when installed. He was able to fix easily. Clearly a simple step was missed. Everyone makes mistakes but the horrible attitude and customer service upon us calling guarantees we will never use power plumbing again.

Power plumbing came to my rescue - building drain was clogged up - so other people sink and food were coming up into our sink. Not pleasant. I called Friday evening and they were round Saturday morning to fix the problem. Professional, response, and explained everything that was happening. I will. use them again. Service: Drain cleaning

This is a bad plumbing outfit. They charge extremely high prices for a less than adequate job -- they don't look for solutions and borderline rude in trying to figure out what to do about 'grey area' type problems. Poor experience overall! Not using again!

Warning this place charges by the hour not the job. They took advantage and charged me thousands of dollars when I needed emergency labor. Do not use them. I recently needed more plumbing work for a different non emergency project and after getting more quotes I received a free hour estimate and a reasonably fixed price for the work. when I asked them about doing work they tried to charge me extra to come out in the snow and the operator Ray was extremely rude. Please beware they are a rip off and I would def never use them again.
