"Called for a leak detection appointment. They used some kind of acoustic equipment and found a slab leak under the living room. Gave us three options for repair with honest pricing on each one."
"We had a frozen pipe burst in the crawl space during the cold snap. They replaced the damaged section and insulated the exposed pipes so it would not happen again. Smart, not just reactive."
"Replaced an old water heater that was rusting out from the bottom. The new one is more efficient and they even upgraded the expansion tank and earthquake straps. Everything up to current code now."
