Hidden Leak Leads to a Bigger Catch—How One Call Helped Prevent a Major Plumbing Failure

Hidden Leak Leads to a Bigger Catch—How One Call Helped Prevent a Major Plumbing Failure

When a concerned homeowner noticed water seeping from a joint in her water main, she knew something wasn’t right. Wasting no time, she reached out to McCray and Sons Home Services to get a professional opinion. She sent over pictures right away, allowing our team to provide a prompt virtual estimate and a plan to tackle the visible leak.


But what we found when we reviewed the images told a deeper story.

McCray and Sons was very easy to work with. They provided a quote within 24 hours of my request. I was delighted when I called to schedule and got a message informing me the business would be closed for a week for a family reunion. I love that they prioritized personal time for staff! Dan came to repair my drywall and was a lovely guy, very friendly. He did the work quickly and did an excellent job making sure everything was cleaned up before he left. I would recommend McCray and Sons to anyone who needs handyman services.

"Mason from McCray Handyman Inc went above and beyond. This was my first time doing business with McCrays Handyman Inc and it won't be the last! EXCELLENT JOB AND PRICE WISH I COULD GIVE 10 STARS !"

Warren was highly recommended to us by our general contractor when we started the process of remodeling our recently purchased home. He has seriously been our saving grace and now become our go to guy! We no longer have to wait months to get small jobs finished by our contractor- we just call Warren and he comes within a few days. He has done several jobs for us and every single time he shows up early and is very professional. He never rushes his work, he gives every job he does 150% and it always shows in the finished product. I highly recommend Warren and his handyman services!
