Jim was super thoughtful and knowledgeable and did an amazing job!<br><br>Edit: Steve was also super great! He showed up quickly, diagnosed the issue, and then fixed it just as quickly. He showed me what was going on with our pipes and was able to walk me through the future repairs as well. Highly recommend asking…

Way overpriced. I booked in a rush but I highly encourage using a local plumber because the prices are insane. $300 for maybe 10 minutes of work. I refused the full work that needed to be done because they said even if they get equipment out it would be $700.
