"They were on time, and did a great job! I recommend these guys and will use this company again.  The person came for a leaky faucet, but I asked them to put in shut off valves and they ended up helping me because the old disposal was leaking  and I did not know this, so they ended up doing all this work for me and fixing all the problems.  I appreciate the professional help.  I recommend this company.

They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.
