I would never recommend this company, especially their tech James who is a total scammer!!
I had a relatively easy fix (1.5hr job for a rookie tech); a leak in a 1” nipple between the water meter and the water pressure reducing valve on our water supply line. I showed their tech exactly where the leak was; he immediately started to tell me we needed to replace the entire water supply line from the meter to the house…ya, without even digging in. Again, I showed him the actual leak, and explained all that needed to be done. He looked at it for a moment, then agreed and cleaned out around the hole at the meter box. When he dug out around the pressure release valve it was clear to see all he needed to do was replace the nipple and plum the valve back in. Again, he started telling me he needed to replace everything because it would not work unless he did this and that… he just kept talking, making thing up (one of those guys who think all homeowners are all idiots). I actually got down and pointed out what needed to be done; again silence, then he agreed I was right… what an ass!! He wanted to do a lot of work on our line that was not needed. I am an engineer by trade, my specially was troubleshooting electrical, mechanical, piping (pluming) issues. This job should have been completed in 1.5hr’s tops. My wife keep asking me why he was just standing around on his phone all the time… Because of lack of actual work the job took him two (2) hours, he ended up replacing the nipple that was leaking, but then replaced all the new brass extensions/fittings on the water pressure reducing valve we had installed a few years prior (in great condition) and he replaced those with PVC pipe… He charged us $595.00 for this. Beware of this company!!!
