Customers say: Quality work

"He came out the day after my call and diagnosed the problem, which was an old pressure tank that gave out finally! He returned on Monday and installed a new one along with a valve. His estimate was true and he is a real professional. He will be coming back in a couple of weeks to fix another more minor problem. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company."

"The problems were strange and required some investigation. The team first focused on the washer drainage. Eventually they used a camera inserted into the clearance pipe to check the drainage pipe from the house to the septic tank. They discovered a "dip" in the pipe, possibly resulting in an obstruction that might have caused the water to back up, kind of like a rock in a stream. (Admittedly, I may not describe this as clearly as I should...not a plumber!). Using shovels and an excavator, they dug about 5 feet into the ground between the house and the septic tank, ultimately discovering both the dip/weakening in the pipe and a 3" crack (almost half of the pipe) closer to the house. I feel like their work saved us much more money down the road, because without investigating/fixing the "dip" in the pipe, we would never have know about that crack. Without repair, it could would likely have begun leaking back into the foundation. The team was able to replace a 10' section of pipe, connect it to the septic, and confirm a steady drain of water. We have not had the backup or any drainage issues since. However, the smell didn't completely leave the laundry room. They came out again and, after a couple of smoke tests and cuts into the drywall, discovered a vent pipe that had in years past (we've owned the house for 5 years) simply been cut to move the washing machine hookups to the side wall (rather than the back). Although the smoke largely discharged through the roof vents as designed, this uncapped vent allowed septic odors to creep back into the washing room, particularly in the morning when the air outside was heavier. They were able to cap the pipe, and that removed the odor. We have not had any issues since they completed their work. The team was very responsive, and worked with me to reschedule the washing room work after a death in one of the worker's family...only slipped a single day. They also reduced the cost for disconnecting/moving the washer and dryer, since they didn't reconnect them (We were of course going to have to do get drywall repair/paint work after they finished). Although I am hoping to avoid any plumber issues for a while, I know who I will call if something comes up. Absolutely recommend this team."

"Very happy with the results. We had a full house replumbing job that came in on schedule, on budget and exceeded our expectations. Robert and his crew were quick and did quality work on ripping out the old Qwest pipe and pulling in all PEX. They installed a new sink for us also which was a nice touch. Immediately after the replumbing was complete the (30) year old hot water heater started to leak, Robert and crew showed up same day and had a new water heater swapped out in record time. Quality work. Very reasonable rates. Professional. Hard working crew. If you need a plumber hire these guys."
