"Kelly from Castle Plumbing was phenomenal from start to finish. He came out to assess the issue, told us the problem, quoted us a price, and was back quickly to fix the leak. He showed me the broken pipe he had fixed and charged us exactly what he had quoted. He was in and out in about an hour, and it was not an easy space to work in under the house. Kelly was very responsive on the telephone, and he was super professional and polite! We will be hiring him to install a tankless water heater for our house. Great service!!"

Serving most of Southern California, Pacific Coast Copper Repipe Inc is a privately owned & operated company that has specialized in repiping for the past 22 years. We only do repiping, which enables us to complete your project quickly and efficiently, all the while keeping the price competitive. Pacific Coast Copper Repipe does not subcontract work. All work on your job is performed by payroll employees, properly trained, supervised and insured. We maintain both liability and workman's compensation insurance for your protection. To date we have completely repiped well over 8,000 single family homes and more than 1500 apartment buildings consisting of in excess of 12,000 individual units.

"The process was relatively smooth. The company owner gave me what I consider a fair bid. He also clearly communicated the scope of the project and how to prepare for it and he was able to answer all of my questions to my satisfaction. The crew showed up on time and dug right into to prepping the project. They were careful in moving items that had to be pulled away from walls and covering affected areas with plastic sheeting. The re-pipe took a day as promised and this was followed by a few days of drywall repairs for the many holes. This was spread over several days to accommodate the city inspections and repair of a related drain issue that was not part of the re-pipe. Both the pipe crew and the drywall person took care to clean up after themselves. PCCR also pulled the required city permits and arranged for the inspections."

"Plumber that was sent said needed new valve. Came out with valve, so I thought, turns out it was actually a cartridge for the valve. Wanted to charge me for 3 hours labor. One hour was spent putting in 2 screws....Didn't fix the problem and expected to be paid 3 hours labor. This is a big rip-off. Also send apprentices to do the job. I believe in on job training, but i shouldn't be paying for it. They reduced the bill by $140, but still the problem is not resolved and I am out the time and money. I would suggest finding another plumbing company that doesn't try to run up the bill by wasting time and who know what they are doing."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.
