Dale Plumbing shows a mixed track record across only 3 reviews. On the positive side, two reviews praise Curtis Dale's responsiveness, cleanliness, communication, and technical knowledge — particularly for a complex PFAS water filtration install. However, the 1-star review is a serious concern: a repair to a kitchen drain pipe failed within two months, suggesting a workmanship deficiency that directly harmed a vulnerable elderly customer. This failed callback situation significantly drags down the project completion and experience scores. With only 3 reviews spanning over a year, confidence in any dimension is low and the WW Score should be treated with caution.
Flags & Warnings
• FAILED REPAIR: One review explicitly documents a repair failure within 2 months on the same issue, with no indication the contractor followed up or offered a remedy — this is a significant project completion red flag.
• VULNERABLE CUSTOMER IMPACT: The failed repair affected elderly customers who stated they cannot afford another plumber, indicating a potential lack of warranty or callback policy.
• LOW REVIEW VOLUME: Only 3 reviews total. This is the minimum threshold for a WW Score calculation and results in very low statistical reliability across all dimensions.
• RECENCY NOTE: The most recent review is from August 2023. The PFAS install review is from April 2022, over 2 years old. No reviews from the past 12 months are present in this dataset.
• NO FAKE REVIEW PATTERNS DETECTED: The three reviews are distinct in language, detail level, and rating — no signs of coordinated or fabricated reviews.
Reliability Statement
This WW Score is based on only 3 reviews and should be considered highly unreliable — the presence of one serious workmanship failure review among just three total reviews has an outsized negative impact, and no confident conclusions about this contractor's typical performance can be drawn.
