AKESON'S PLUMBING SERVICE

Mr. Akeson came out as soon as he could leave the job he was working on when I called; he arrived quickly to deal with this emergency. The failed main water valve was leaking profusely. This was the main shut off valve into the house at the house not at the street. He arrived with the necessary copper pipe, and necessary valves and did the job expeditiously. The original water main valve was a gate valve; he replaced it with a lever-operated ball valve. He replace several small lengths of related copper pipe as well as the hose bib. Prior jobs Mr. Akeson has done in the last 5 or so years: My house was built in 2005; I purchased it in fall of 2009. Mr. Akeson has done several emergency jobs and installation jobs including: installing a filter system for a restaurant-quality espresso machine, replaced the drinking water system in the kitchen, and reseated a toilet which our flooring tile installer seated incorrectly. The very first job he did was an emergency. The baseboard installer accidentally drove a nail into a high-pressure water pipe servicing the air conditioner. Of course we turned the water main off immediately. Mr. Akeson arrived at this first call just as soon as he could. He looked at the special type of plastic composition pipe and stated that he was certified/qualified to repair it and did so immediately. He had the replacement materials and special tools to work on this sort of pipe. Mr. Akeson is the only plumber I use. He is smart, quick, reliable and friendly. His pricing has been reasonable.

He was very prompt and efficient. We had used them before and was impressed with their service. He was only here a short while and installed the new garbage disposal without any problems. He was courteous and made sure it was working and not leaking anymore before he left. There was no mess after he left and we were extremely satisfied with the job he did. It was nice that he explained everything as he was going along.

Dave and his son did a wonderful job. They came in with a lower quote than others, had great references, and we are very happy with their work. Good, honest people.
