Bob at Raider Plumbing was a life saver for me. I was quoted almost $5400 for a leak under my kitchen sink, by Lowery Plumbing. I was told that it was under the foundation and a tunnel would have to be dug. A neighbor of mine gave me Bob's name and number so I gave him a call. He came out the next day, fixed it in about an hour and it only cost me $142!!! The issue was above foundation. There was a couple of nails that had been driven thru the hot water pipe during the building of the house, and they had finally rusted making the leak occur . I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOB! Very honest and pleasant business

What a wonderful family! And even better workers and gentlemen. During the middle of a family emergency of their own, father/owner (Bob, who was out of town) and son worked together and did a WONDERFUL job in our kitchen. Very thorough and kind. Bobs son even sat and chatted with me for a few minutes after the job was done. Wonderful wonderful people. I will definitely call them and only them for any other job the future may spring upon us.
