LRT Plumbing Services

David M.

While LRT is new to the plumbing game in the area, George Clift, the founder, has been at it for years and even has his son working with him.

While checking some shut off valves I noticed a small leak. LRT came out the same day (friday) and recommended they be replaced. Of course, the exterior shut off valve had been buried and we couldn't find it,but he gave me the number to have the county come out and mark the location.

When George came back out early the next week he was able to squeeze me in between some appointments he had, and was able to swap out my garbage disposal which whose seal was starting to crumble and identified a small leak in the trap that I had assumed was from the disposal unit.

All in for 3 valves, a garbage disposal, new u trap with adapter and a few other parts plus 1 hour on Friday and a couple hours on Monday came out to $770 - not cheap, but the work was clean and to my untrained eye looks great.

Before writing a review - it occurred to me I didn't shop around for garbage disposal units. A quick search and the Badger Insinkerator 1/2 hp is Spruce's #1 rated unit. It also turns up under a This Old House's list in spot #3, but #1 and #2 are much more expensive, and have special assists for septic tanks (which we don't have).
