Let me start this review with some search engine keywords for those in desperate straits for a quality plumber:
Slab leak
Plumber
Repiping
Replumbing
My story (briefly):
The water company left me a hanging placard on my door indicating I was running 40-50 gallons an hour.
They suggested a leak detection company (see review for Leak Seekers).
Options given once a slab leak was found was 1) repair leak location, 2) re-pipe the house.
Kwik Fix (and others) was suggested for either option.
The solution:
I chose Kwik Fix for the job because they were able to fit me in the quickest. I'm pleased with everything about the service. They sent a couple of guys to repair the leak. They explained what they'd do, and that fixing the leak was a temporary fix. They suggested a re-pipe to solve the problem permanently. I agreed, partly because they explained that since the leak was near the edge of the house, adjoining the garage, with a place for the water to go (pressure was less, so less likely to blow my tiles somewhere on my first floor), I could wait. They were willing to start the work in 3 business days. They gave me the peace of mind to wait a week while I entertained family for a long planned and anticipated visit). They showed up the day after my family left. The crew, Chris, Cole, and Charles, were polite, careful, quick, and competent. They said maybe 4 days but finished it in 3. They also helped with a very simple (to them) cartridge swap in my master shower faucet. It was very difficult for my disabled wife to turn on/adjust. Chris took a few minutes at the end of a long day to not only swap the cartridge, but clean the shower head too.
Overall, I was very pleased They explained anything I asked about. They cleaned up (as much as one should expect) after each day. My water pressure and time to hot water at the farthest faucet is still great. I think they did their best to make that happen.
The cost was $7600 for a 3 bath, 2800 sq ft house. That seemed reasonable. Especially for the prompt and thorough service.
Finally, there are two business entries in Yelp for this company. I chose the one with the lower rating because a couple of the reviews were a little dubious in their validity, especially the 1 star review because of the way one of their trucks was driving.
