A leak developed in a pipe joint adjacent to the one they fixed. They came back out, but said they weren't responsible, it was just poor original installation. They did give me a 10% discount on the labor for the new leak. But now I'm seeing that I have a very slow leak in the joint adjacent to the second replaced joint. It's so slow I'm not going to bother with it for now. But I'm going to have a try a new plumber in the future. I have no doubt that my plastic pipes are cheap and crappy. But I do doubt that they are cheaper or crappier than the typical spec house. I need a plumber who can work with the pipes I have, not the ones I wish I had. Plumbers, I'd suggest maybe strapping or clamping the pipes you are working on to something heavy, to minimize the torque on adjacent joints. I'll also note that the original burst pipe was a hot water pipe, close to the outlet of the water heater they installed, but that may truly be pure coincidence.
