Wayne Irvin visited me on an emergency basis, late on a Sunday night. He inspected the problem, warned me about the dangers of polybutylene, gave me the best estimate I'd had compared to a handful of people, I was able to reach on the phone, and told me he'd come back the next morning to fix it. He shut off the water to my home and returned, when promised. He asked me, if I wanted to repair the pipe ($200) or replace the whole thing ($1200). I told him to replace my polybutylene pipes with PVC, as recommended. He looked around for markings for gas, sewer, and electrical hookups to make sure it was safe to dig, but they were missing. He called them in on an emergency basis, but they took all day, to make it out. He returned the following morning and completed the work, as promised before 4:00 PM, when I got home. He delivered the invoice a couple hours later and it was identical to his estimate. My water seems to be working very well, now.
Description of Work: My home was built with polybutylene pipe connecting my house to the water main (see http://www.polybutylene.com/poly.html). When I had a tree moved out of my yard with a bulldozer, the weight cracked the pipe, causing a water geyser in my side yard.
