Vincent in Richmond Hill

I have a service call for a condo plumbing service call. The technician came and told me this was a calcium build up on the shower handle to make the shower difficult to turn. He said the whole valve need to be replaced because if he took the cartridge out, it will break the valve. I ask him whether it can be used some CLS to dissolve the calcium. He said no. The whole repair cost is $2000 plus tax. I stopped the work immediately. Seems to me he just want to grab more money to charge some work that is not necessary. When he left, he put the handle back and did not put it back properly and water started to leak. Wasted my $99 on site visit. Hired another plumber, clean the cartridge and calcium. The handle back on. No valve need to be changed or damaged. Will not use the company again.
