Real feedback from real plumbing calls.
"Burst pipe in the crawlspace in January. He had the main off and the section cut out before I finished explaining. Pressure tested it in front of me before he closed it up."
"Called about a leak under the kitchen sink and it turned out to be the dishwasher hose. They told me that, tightened it, and did not charge me for a plumbing repair I did not need."
