Village Plumbing and Home Services - Monica Ryan, Owner Texas State Board of Plumbing Exaimers - Administrative Penalty Houston Texas
We contracted Village Plumbing to replace our water heater. The installation was done improperly. They did not attach the exhaust/vent to the roof correctly. There was no condensation catcher on the vent and no permit to perform the work. We contacted Village Plumbing in an attempt to resolve the issue and were forced, due to lack of cooperation, to contact the Texas State Board Of Plumbing Examiners.
The TSBPE investigator that was assigned to our case was informed by the owner of Village Plumbing, Monica Ryan, that they had not performed any work at our residence.
I am posting this for your review in an effort to stop anyone from having to experience this kind of ordeal, which is still on going. Please pay close attention to the text below as it contains a summation of findings and discussions which took place between the TSBPE investigator and Monica Ryan with Village Plumbing.

In closing, I should inform you that the City Of Houston advised me very strongly to get the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners involved as they have seen other violations pertaining to work involving Village Plumbing. The TSBPE fined the company owner!!! I hope all of you find this information helpful moving forward when determining who you will use and put your trust in for plumbing work.
