"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."
"Our dishwasher was leaking from the supply line. The plumber replaced the braided hose and the shutoff valve under the sink since it was corroded. Quick fix that prevented a much bigger problem."
"Whole house was getting terrible water pressure. Turned out the main shutoff valve was partially closed and calcified. They replaced it and the pressure regulator. Like a brand new house now."
