Toilet overflow leak through second floor ceiling lights

Service Masters quoted $1,800.00 to clean up. 4x4 ceiling hole, two fans for three days. No drywall repair, No plumbing repair. Is that a fair price? Has anyone had this issue? Can anyone recommend a good plumber? thanks

 

Did you contact your homeowners insurance? They may pay for a portion of those costs. Sorry I can't recommend a plumber for you.

 

Carlos....he's all over this forum and highly recommended!! We love him! 703-726-9311

 

That's ridiculous .. what are they doing? I'll cut a hole and bring fans for half that! But seriously, unless this was there for a while, there's no mold or other issues. Just cleanup.

 

It just happened. The hole cutting is only $4.52. The fans (2) and dehumidifiers are $100+ for three days. I think it is excessive too!

 

Thank you I will call him.

 

Yes, called homeowners insuresance and they recommended Service Master, and Clover plumbing but they have not called back.

 

Let us know what you think

 

I'm missing something ... $4.52 + $100+ ... how do you get to $1,800 ??

 

We had this happen over Christmas. $2,400 to cut into the drywall, pull up tile, replace all of that, 3+ fans and 2 dehumidifiers for over a week. If you'd like, I can send you the estimate. We filed with homeowners insurance. Paul Davis did the drying and repairs and we were very pleased with them.
