We had a slow water flow issue that we called about. Arch got us in the next day to check it out. Toni arrived promptly and looked at the issue. He checked the water pressure coming into the house and it appeared to be a little low and after checking the control valve and adjusting the pressure, things were looking better. Pressure is still not up to where we would like it buy he did not try to pressure us into replacing the pressure valve which would have been much more expensive. He gave us a couple recommendations specific to certain fixture pressures. Toni was polite, understanding and professional. If we decide to replace the valve or have any other issues down the road, I will definitely call Arch Plumbing for the repairs.

My experience was awesome with Arch Plumbing, my plumber Mr Chris, was prompt, disconnected my old Plumbing (kitchen sink) to prepare for new counters, came back after counters install and put in new faucet, he did what was needed to get water running, and did a great job, He will be my regular plumber ( if available) when I call in to Arch. Kudos to Mr Chris, thanks for your help.
