When I first reached out to Kali, he immediately told me he wanted to help save me money and carefully walked me through the next steps I should take. He spent a significant amount of time with me on the phone while I was dealing with what I thought was a major leak at my house. He explained what questions to ask, what the process would likely look like, and how to narrow down the source of the problem. Following Kali's guidance, I contacted a plumber to determine whether the leak was inside my house or between the house and the meter. The plumber confirmed it was somewhere inside the home, so I called Kali back the next day to schedule leak detection services. During our conversation, Kali asked me to send several pictures of the rooms, pipes, and layout of the home so he could think through the situation before coming out. As we were talking, I mentioned that I had a boiler system. After I sent him a picture, he asked if I noticed any visible dripping. I said no. He then asked me to turn off the water supply to the boiler and check the meter again. Sure enough, the leak was in the boiler system. Kali figured all of this out entirely over the phone because he took the time to truly think through how to help me. I was honestly shocked that he was able to identify the issue without even coming to the house. I truly think he is the "leak whisperer." What stood out most to me was not just his expertise, but his heart. He was thoughtful, patient, and genuinely trying to educate me so I would feel less stressed and more at ease during a difficult situation. I truly feel blessed to have crossed paths with Kali. It is rare to meet someone who is clearly not in their field simply for the money. Kali is there to help people during times of stress and uncertainty, and that compassion shines through in everything he does. Kali, I pray that all the blessings you give to others come back to you 100-fold. You are truly a blessing, and I pray God continues to protect and guide you. Thank you for using your talents and gifts for the good of others. Valorie Crout

I'm pleased to write this positive review for Hard Ground Excavation, LLC. Miguel (425) 622-0858…read moreand his team provided exceptional service going above and beyond in helping to repair a water line leak that occurred between the water main and house. As most people know when you have this type of leak it is the homeowner's responsibility to repair. This can be a tricky and expensive repair as you must locate the water line and excavate 2-3 feet down to repair. After not getting timely or consistent responses from the plumbers I contacted, it dawned on me that this is really a Utility service repair. Working in my neighborhood was a crew installing new utilities. They had trenches open pipes in etc. it was obvious that they had the skills and expertise to do the job. I made contact with the owner Miguel, he came over assessed the problem and agreed to help. As with most projects things didn't go exactly as planned, we found surprises underground there was no way to know about ahead of time. Miguel devised quick economical solutions and was able to overcome the unexpected obstacles with ease. The team at Hard Ground operated with a high degree of safety and experience as they navigated other underground utilities using a combination of equipment and hand digging. They completed the repair filled the trenches and had all the tools to compact the ground to original specs and even gave me a temporary asphalt patch. I highly recommend them for any type of ground work a home or business owner may have. We plan to have them back out for a planned improvement project.
