I called Deer Valley Plumbing to give me an estimate for a broken water line between my house and street. I agreed to a $75 trip fee, I was told they would diagnose and give an estimate. They arrived, looked around (did no digging, used no technology to locate leak) and told me it would cost $1700 to fix, which included $1100 to dig.
Furthermore, the tech told me he would be replacing the line from the break to the riser with Pex or PVC, but he wrote the invoice initially showing 30' of copper, when the repair would be less than 10'... (he said he did so out of laziness in lieu of line iteming the labor/digging on the estimate properly).
I asked why he used the most expensive material to price out that portion if he wasn't planning to use copper in the first place, and he told me they all cost the same..... which is kind of funny. Copper is by far the most expensive material of the three. I asked him about this, which is when he re-wrote the estimate to show $1100 in labor for digging. He made a comment that "I was making him do it the right way"...... my thought is, shouldn't you do it the right way to begin with?
I hired someone from Takl to dig out the water line, cost $150. I then called Moon Valley Plumbing, who came out and fixed the problem for $235.
All told I spent $385 to fix this issue (not including the $75 I threw away on Deer Valley Plumbing's "estimate").
Deer Valley Plumbing, if you subtract the $1100 they wanted just to dig, wanted $600 to fix the leak. I spent less than that to dig AND fix the leak at the end of the day.
Do yourself a favor and call someone else. I wasted $75 on this company, don't do the same.
