Our technician from Cal’s plumbing Matt Watson showed up when he said he would. Found the leak at our meter and called when with options and prices to repair. I agreed to the estimate and Matt took care of it right away. Great communication from Cal’s, and from Matt, and very professional.

Matt was amazing. Dug out the main water leak area in humid and hot conditions. Identified the leak and proposed a better solution that would ensure it did not happen again. Cleaned the area and left it pristine. Highly recommend him.
