This man is a proper plumber. Let me tell you about the awesomeness.
Okay, first I had to re-attach a radiator that shady contractor had secretly left detached (it was hidden with the radiator cover) and had some stripped threads on one of the valves. I was getting estimates telling me I needed to replace all of this piping in my house, rip up the walls, etc. Mr. Wills just came in and re-attached the radiator, putting on a new valve. And at an extremely good price.
Then he came out and snaked some old drain piping in the kitchen and while he was here I asked him to give me a quote on replacing a boiler re-circulation pump. It was making a lot of noise. He gave me an excellent quote on replacing it if needed but not only that, he explained to ME how to do it if I wanted to do it myself. Other plumbing companies do this condescending thing if they've found out I've tried to do some of the work myself to save money, like "See, little woman? You failed and that's why you're having problems in the first place." Mr. Wills even talked to me about socket wrenches to use and such.
But before he left, he just started knocking around on the pump a bit and the noise reduced significantly, to almost a negligible amount. I may still need to replace it, but at this point, I may not.
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. read more
