Positive
“I had a shower valve problem - couldn't replace the old, stuck valve cartridge. It was looking like the whole valve housing had to be cut out and replaced. Another plumber was scheduled to do the job, but Cameron offered to try to get the old stuck cylinder out that the other plumber couldn't, with no charge if he failed. It was a battle but Cameron was successful, and fixed the problem the least expensive way. …”
“Cameron and company are top notch. They excel at what they do and are extremely knowledgeable. We had a tricky plumbing issue. Not only did Cameron fix it, he was the only plumber who did not ask me to re pipe the whole front yard. Cannot recommend him and Better Plumbing enough! Seriously, next time you need a plumber call him!”
