"I could not choose repair of well cap but Happy Home does do plumbing repairs. After 30 years the well cap started leaking. Mike came and immediately found the problem. Parts had to be ordered and Mike and Calvin did an outstanding job repairing an old old piece of equipment. Mike came the day I called Happy Home to help with this problem. I highly recommend them!!"
