Leak in pipe - plumber recommendations?
Hoping someone has a line on a good person to call about this. I noticed this morning that there's a line about 3 feet long and 4 inches wide of discoloration in my ceiling on the main floor of my house. Got up on a stepladder and while it's not soggy or dripping, it is cold and slightly damp. So I shut off my water and drained the pipes, and confirmed with my insurance that it's covered. All good so far - hopefully just a minor slow leak.
Next step is getting someone to do an estimate, so off to CP I go for the brain trust here. Who in town do people trust to do this sort of thing, and are there any spots that people know of that do free estimates? I'm not going to initiate a claim and jack up my home insurance premium if the ultimate cost to repair this is in the ballpark of my deductible anyway, so I want to find out what I'm looking at.
Really annoying to have this happen in a fairly new (just over 5 year old) building, but I guess it could be worse, or it could have happened when I was away, or something like that.
