"Had an under-slab water line burst. They came out that day, capped off the bad line and restored water to the rest of the house, then rerouted the water line through the attic with minimal drywall damage. Very clean, respectful, knowledgeable, and professional. Only plumber I will ever call."
"Called for what I thought was a simple leak detection and they found two separate issues — one behind the wall and one under the slab. Fixed both in the same visit. Professional and thorough throughout."
"Tyson and Phoenician Plumbing are the best! I would recommend them to anybody without hesitation. They treat your house like it's their own and do the right thing. It's hard to find good people to trust, and they are it."
