My son broke the hose bib off his outside water faucet. He called ARS Rescue Rooter for an estimate on the repair.
Nine hours later ARS showed up and wrote a $546.33 estimate to solder on a replacement "Tee" fitting and replace the 3/4" shutoff valve.
Needless to say we told ARS to take a hike, and called another company, (name upon request) for their estimate.
They came within two hours of the call and not only replaced the shutoff valve, but ALL the outside piping for a total of $125.00
I have pictures of the before and after and the ARS ripoff estimate that I have scanned and will send or post as needed.
