"They found a pinhole leak in a copper pipe inside the wall using thermal imaging. Repaired the section and checked the rest of the run for similar corrosion. Very thorough and professional."
"We had a frozen pipe burst in the crawl space during the cold snap. They replaced the damaged section and insulated the exposed pipes so it would not happen again. Smart, not just reactive."
"Needed the main water shutoff valve replaced because the old gate valve was frozen open. Not a fun job since it required cutting into the foundation wall, but they did it right and it works perfectly."
