  I am glad we chose Abel Plumbing for our install work. They were great. They were on time and showed up when they said they would. Their work was quality and their plumbers were easy to work with. Also their prices ewere reasonable. We chose what I consider the best in a competitive field.

  Abel plumbing was contracted out by our home builder. My husband had found numerous mistakes that Abel plumbing was doing during the course of the building process. Currently having to fix problems that Abel plumbing did with another local plumber. Called Abel plumbing to make them aware of problems, did not have the courtesy to return my phone call to talk about the problems. Instead the secretary called me back asking me what the other plumbers said because they were not aware of the code changes. I expect professionals to have professionalism and keep up to date on their expertise; I'm expected to at my job. Not impressed with Abel and we have contacted the BBB regarding the experience we have encountered. In response to Abel Plumbing LLC initial review response to review. There is no blame cast toward Abel Plumbing for the mound system. The discharge from the water softener did not help the saturation of the mound. Which was not only from our water usage. Related to our septic tanks and mound system being placed when it was to wet, not correct machines. It caused our holding tanks to be under water almost constantly. This in turn caused our mound to be saturated. In our opinion when the homeowner catches things in a home build from a licensed plumber that has to be fixed prior to passing inspection, that is a problem. For example not limited to, 1.) all exterior downspouts were angled upward. This means in the winter the lines would freeze and have blown. 2.) Our spare bathroom cast iron tub was not secured properly, this had to be addressed 3 different times before it was adequate for placement of tile. 3.) Kitchen pot filler brass fitting was applied to tightly and cracked, with in one year of placement, needed to open drywall and fixed by Abel Plumbing. 4.) Now pot filler started to leak again and now a different plumber will be needing to go back into dry wall and fix what Abel Plumbing already did and fixed. In our opinion we would not recommend Abel Plumbing for any plumbing needs or concerns.

  Response from the owner

  Hello Kristina, I am sorry for your situation with your mound system. I know sometimes when bad situations happen to us that we get upset and want to cast blame in any direction that we can. Here at Abel plumbing we pride ourselves in staying up to date on the plumbing code. Everything with your interior plumbing is and was up to code and was inspected by the plumbing inspector to verify that. The County Sanitation Department of Winnebago County informed us that your mound system that was designed and installed by another contractor was sized correctly but since your household uses more water than what the system design guidelines go by which resulted in your Mound becoming saturated. Almost every water softener system in the State of Wisconsin discharges to a municipal sanitary sewer or private onsite wastewater treatment system. It is allowed by code SPS 382.38 Table 382.38-1. The softener discharges 48 gallons every time it regenerates which would not be a cause of your saturation issues. I appreciated working with you and hope that you have better luck in the future.
