Mike was awesome. He was knowledgeable and honest/forthright with costs. I was told I could not do a tank heater because they don't "make them anymore" from another plumbing company (Roto-Rooter), and they tried to sell me on a tankless (for 7k). Mike immediately knew that I could get a 40 gallon skinny installed for 3k. The work took him all day, because he paid attention to detail. I cannot recommend this company (or Mike) enough.

CP was friendly and knowledgeable. After telling him what issues I had, he diagnosed the problem and located the clog. He quoted additional work for me to do in the near future due to a nearby tree root system damaging the line. He also replaced an intake water valve on a toilet that was leaking. I'll hire this company again to complete the repairs.
