What this site is
WaterMainCall is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and work on a service line is normally permitted and often coordinated with the utility — ask to see the permit. We carry out no work, we test no water, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything. Nothing here is a statement about the water at any address.Spencer in numbers
