Report
Work was done on a leak that we believed to be a slab leak but was actually under our bath tub so I thought the cost to fix would be better. That was not the case as lines were abandoned and reconnected through the wall and took 3 hrs from start to finish and ended with a large $1500 charge. The work done was satisfactory, but the cost was excessive at what came out to $500 dollars an hour and on top of that they charged an additional $450 to patch up the sheetrock that was opened up in our laundry room and a small section in the bedroom by a very unprofessional third party vendor. Won't ever use them again or recommend.
