Description of Work: December 3rd, 2008 was my very frustrated day, because the handyman broken my water pipe. I called professional plumber to mend the broken water pipe. The first company I called made me wait for an hour; they sent two plumbers to my house. After they took off the drywall panel the handyman put on, they checked the damage at the pipe, and told me the damage was too close to the wall; they needed to make a hole on the wall to replace the entire pipe. The pipe was in the basement, to make a hole on the concrete wall needed a lot of work, because it needs to take all the soil out from outside the window well about 8'-9' depth. I just sealed the minor concrete leak by the US Waterproof, did not want to get another hole on the concrete, and may need to seal it again. They gave me estimated price that was sky high $2600! I said I would think about it. They stayed outside for a while, and knocked at my door, said they discussed with their boss; it can be down to $2000. I still told them I would think about it. After they left, it was already dark. I called the second company Aqua Plumbing, they sent a plumber Dan. He looked at the hole and said he wanted to see if the pipe was round; if it was round he can connect another pipe on, otherwise, it really needed to change the entire pipe. I crossed my fingers, and wished luck. He cut off the old copper pipe from the damaged position, touched the pipe, said it was still round. Then he took off the other part of the pipe that was connected to the water meter. He told me there was a seal on the water meter; I needed to call the city water department to put another seal on after he repaired it. After he brought a small piece of copper pipe, and started to weld it on. I was very nervous, because there was wood frame next to the pipe, and the flame was just next to the wood frame. I said: "You would not light on the wood!" He said: "Trust me, I am very experienced!" After finished the work, he charged me $540! I was happy comparing with the $2000! I gave him very good evaluation on the sheet he left to me, and would like to tell this story to Angie's list.
