In 1974, cast iron piping was all the rage in residential home plumbing, specifically the sewer line. After living in my home for ten years, I'd noticed something interesting - the sewer line had broken in a number of places, thanks to a shifting foundation, an unwisely planted live oak, and just normal wear and tear. So when I needed my sewer line repaired, I asked my realtor for a recommendation and he said, call Aubrey.
Aubrey Foundation repair came out, inspected the sewer line, and pretty much declared it DOA. I agreed. The made their recommendations, and after getting a second opinion, I went with Aubrey. Up to that point, they were just competent. But once the digging started, that's when everything changed.
Aubrey Plumbing dug a tunnel under the house to reach the bathroom nexus. Then, instead of just cutting off the iron pipes and attaching new PVC, they removed the toilets and the shower drains, chopped out the rotting crap, installed new flanges and pipe going through the foundation, and put everything back so perfectly that you'd never have known there had been a problem. The foreman even put down plastic and invited me INTO THE TUNNEL, so that I could see the new plumbing and take pictures. Extra cleanouts were installed and they even spread the extra dirt around on low points of my yard.
It was the little things that impressed me the most about Aubrey Plumbing. Their attention to detail, their professionalism, but also THEIR PRIDE. I mean, these guys were PROUD of their work. Hopefully I never need another sewer line rerouted, but if I do, I know who I'm calling.
