UPDATE:Had the owner of the company come through on Wednesday.Master plumber with over 40 years experience.Very nice and professional.While were there fixed too emergencies.One the p trap was leaking under the kitchen sink and water was going everywhere.Another unit water was coming down from the upstairs through the kitchen.That ended up being the metal line going into toilet tank.Someone wrench tightened the line going into the tank when they were only supposed to hand tighten.This caused a crack in the plastic seal and the water then started pouring out.The plumbers fixed it.When he came out on Wednesday he looked at 2 units.He said to do it right he needs to have 2 of his plumbers out there and go unit by unit.They will check all fixtures kitchen,bath,washer,etc. and do compression test.
