"We had been having problems with an exterior silcock dripping while in the off position; as a result of landscapers over tightening it. I was concerned the entire silcock might need to be replaced, rather than only the internal parts such as the washers; because a plumbing expert at a local home supply store said it would be unlikely to find internal parts to match/work. The concern was due to the fact that our only access to the water supply connection point to the silcock (i.e., silcock extends 12 inches to the interior for anti-siphon/antifreeze function) would be through cutting/patching of the ceiling in our finished basement. However, Kelly Chapman did have internal parts in his truck to match/work and made quick work removing the internal parts, replacing an internal washer and reassembling; which solved the dripping in the off position (and any potential pipe freeze this winter). Now that enough time has passed since the repair in September, to monitor the silcock through some freezing weather, the silcock antifreeze function also appears to be working fine. <br /> Kelly Chapman has also performed other previous plumbing services at our house (such as gas piping, toilet/water closet replacements, water valve replacements, etc.) and each time has been prompt, efficient, professional and reasonably priced. We intend to continue hiring Kelly Chapman for future work, including a pending future master bathroom remodel. <br />"
