“When I called him out and he immediately came my house within 2 hours and did a really quick and great job for my bathroom.”
“Dan and his crew are absolutely the best! Professional, communicative and fair prices. Couldn't ask for anything more!”
“Dan is smart and good at figuring things out. He will stay on it until it's right and he knows his stuff.”
Why it happens
What First Neighborhood is plumbed with
First Neighborhood started the master plan, before the lake was filled. These late-sixties tract homes sit on slab, with water lines in the concrete and the water heater in the garage. Remodels rarely reached the pipe under the floor.
Old slab copper shows up as a warm spot or a higher water bill. The regulator by the front hose bib quit years ago. The water heater, in a garage that gets hot in August, is on its second or third replacement.
Around here: the streets between Lindero Canyon and the lake, Village Homes, the original tract.
Most weeks
What people in First Neighborhood call about
The third pinhole in two years
Repiping →Repeat leaks mean the pipe's done. We repipe in copper or PEX, with a permit and inspection card.
Toilet valves and angle stops giving out
Pressure regulators →Usually high pressure. We check it with a gauge on the hose bib every visit.
Dan worked these streets when the houses were twenty years old, and he's been back to some for the next owner.
