"It went really well. We noticed a slow leak coming into the basement from where the water line comes into the house. We had a local plumber come out and evaluate the leak and he determined it was a cracked or broken 30 year old plastic water line between my house and the water main for the neighborhood, which means it's my problem, not the county's. Since this was going to be an expensive job, I used Angie's List to find another plumber for a second quote. That plumber was Mahon and their quote, with the Angie's list coupon, was about the same price as the local plumber, but they also included in that price bringing the area the water pipe enters my house up to code and adding an overflow tank to the hot water heater to bring it up to code. Plus, they arranged for the county inspector to inspect the work when done. They did use PE line instead of copper (the local plumber would have used copper) but I looked at various plumbing sites on the Internet and it looks like PE pipe is a valid choice and easier to install.
Mahon Inc. is very responsive. They had a guy out to my house within a couple of hours to look around and give me a quote. He was able to give me a quote on the spot, and once I agreed, they arranged to be at my house 8am the next day. They showed up with 5 guys, two trucks and a backhoe. While waiting for Miss Utility, they gave me good suggestions like filling a pitcher of water for drinking and filling the bathtub with water to replace the water in the toilet after flushing - this was very useful advice! They also did the inside plumbing while waiting for Miss Utility.
Everything went well - they had to dig two holes, one where my water line comes off the main feed and one on the outside of the house where the water line enters the house. There is a garden next to the house, so they moved the ground containing the tulip bulbs to the side so it could be returned later; they tried very hard not to damage the plants. The water was back on around 1pm and they left by 3pm. They would have completed the job earlier except they had to wait for the inspector before filling the holes and moving the plants back into the garden. Once the hole by the water main was filled they put down soil and seed and hay. They were able to pull the old line out with no problems, but they had a torpedo or missile that they could have used to run the new line if the old line couldn't be pulled. They did not need to do that, but it was good that they were prepared, and it would have not effected the price if they had used it.
They were easy to work with, knew what they were doing, and very professional.
