"He let me know up front exactly what needed to be done after I texted pictures of my problem. Responded with a picture of what he would replace it with. Called ahead of time to let me know his ETA. Made the job look easy, finished quicker than expected. Ended up installing my new dishwasher even though he originally was only there for the valves. It's a great relief not worrying about water issues anymore."

"Dwight installed a tankless water heater and water softner for us. He did a quality job and was some $1,500 cheaper than the highest bidder for essentially comparable equipment."

"Called about leak Sunday morning. Plumber came out Monday, determined it needed replacement and notified Choice, who approved claim and permitted plumber to order new water heater. Thursday new water heater was installed. Was kept updated every day by both Choice and the plumber. Workers left my garage clean and I have hot water. Very satisfied and have recommended Choice Home Warranty on the Nextdoor app."

"My experience with them was okay.  I bought both my washing machine and a refrigerator from them.  My refrigerator went out and so, I called them and the technician came out.  The initial phone call was great.  He came out when he said.  He was super nice.  He tried to fix what he thought was wrong.  After a few days later, the refrigerator went out again.  I called them again and I got somebody at phone who hardly understood the situation.  I thought she works at home or I don’t know what it was.  My husband spoke with her first.  She said that she could schedule a date, which was after a week.  I told her that will be no good because the refrigerator had all brand new food.  I couldn't wait for a week.  So she finally agreed on sending a technician out but again she was not cooperative in scheduling a time that was convenient for us.  I don’t know if she had a problem with understanding English but she was not able to understand.  Then I got on the phone and told her that we really needed somebody today or tomorrow and that we bought all the food.  All of sudden she said to me that she could send someone right away.  It was as if she didn’t even understand our first request.  The technician came out, he fixed the problem, and I told him that I was not going to pay him for the service call again.  He told me that it was not a problem and that I didn’t have to pay, so he only charged me for a part.  The only challenge was in calling them to make an appointment otherwise it was good.  Then I bought a washing machine from them and a technician came out to install it.  That went fine expect that our washing machine leaked right away.  So I told him that I needed a replacement and they got me a replacement.  So then, they came in and installed the replacement and it has been fine ever since.  I referred them to my friend as she wanted to buy a washing machine.  I later came to know that she went through the same problem of not able to get through the lady on the phone.  She told me that she was not able to understand the weird lady on the phone who didn’t understand what she needed.  She gave up and she chose someone else.  I knew exactly whom she spoke to because I went through the same thing.  The price was okay.  I don’t have anything to compare it to; however, it was better than some of the other ones.  I would use them again."

"Ed and his team were superior!  He had one painter that was very slow and he did not bring him back the next day.  The entire team was professional.  I work from home so they made a point to keep the noise down and to work around my schedule.  I would definitely hire them again for any repair or painting job!

FAQs for water main install, replace or repair projects in Columbia, MO

If you notice puddles or standing water in your yard, a sudden drop in water pressure, cracks forming in your foundation, frequent clogs in your plumbing fixtures, or water that looks or smells unusual, you might have a leak in your main water line. These signs mean it's time to call a professional to evaluate the issue and prevent further damage.

A professional water main inspection is a comprehensive evaluation performed by a licensed plumber who checks every section of your plumbing system. The inspection costs $165 and uses advanced diagnostic techniques to identify hidden leaks or wear. This service clarifies the exact condition of your water main, enabling precise repairs that prevent future damage and ensure the overall health of your plumbing system.

Protect your water main by scheduling a cleaning and inspection every two to five years. The average cost of a sewer line cleaning is $400. It’s also important to never dig in your yard without first calling the dig line (811) to ensure you don't accidentally hit the water or sewer lines. Watch for soil erosion, low water pressure, or wet spots in your yard, and take immediate action if you suspect a leak. Remember, the longer you leave it, the worse the problem gets and the more costly it is to fix.

When properly maintained, your water main is engineered to remain functional for 50 years or longer. A durable water service in excellent condition should consistently perform without major issues for half a century. In contrast, metal pipes exposed to acidic soil corrode faster, whereas modern plastic pipes resist corrosion and function for decades beyond metal alternatives. Regular maintenance and inspections are essential for confirming your system’s longevity.

No, homeowners insurance does not cover the cost to repair a water main. Insurers fund only sudden, unforeseen events like a burst pipe and exclude gradual issues or normal wear and tear. Damage resulting from leaks, such as mold remediation or property claims, is not covered. It is essential to contact your insurance provider immediately to confirm your policy’s details and any potential adjustments needed.
