Major plumbing leak from meter to house. Matt gave me all my options. Very professional and personable. His co worker Octavio was equally great. They got the job done in less than 3 hrs. You could not tell they even dug a 20 foot trench! I will always call Cal’s plumbing! Both men spoke highly of the company as well! Great Employees Great Job! Thank you!
