I received a letter from the water company that my meter reading was really high. I checked the usual suspects and determined it wasn't anything inside the house.

Tim and his co-worker Gabe were super! Explained all the possible problems that might be causing our shower to leak into the cabinets. Tim ran a number of logical tests to isolate the problem and got to the root cause. Plus Tim was just a great guy to talk with while he was doing the work. Great service!

This company was very responsive and quick to arrive to a newly found leak. The plumber, Wayne, was professional and communicative and helped me understand what was happening in detail. Other than the VERY high cost it took to repair a leak from my water main pipe (right where the irrigation system split off), I am a happy customer.
