"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."

"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."
