Initially the carpet in the laundry room in the basement was found wet. With my own searching for the source of the water, water dripping was found coming down from above level. When searching for a plumber, I found this website and decided to call Public Plumbing. Vlad came for an initial estimate and told me what his diagnostic procedure would be. What worried me was that it seemed difficult in locating the spot where the leak was originated from. Holes would have to be cut in the dry walls and I wasn't sure how many of them would have to be cut. Situation seemed to me more challenging the next day when Vlad came to start the diagnostics and fix. The water dripping sound inside the dry wall that could be heard yesterday couldn't be heard any more. Vlad proceeded with his diagnostic procedure and in the end he did a very good job. He only cut two holes altogether and it seemed to me the diagnostic procedure he took was all right and he was trying to avoid unnecessary diagnostic damage.
The leaking spot was at an awkward position below the hot tub. Vlad pointed out that the pipe wasn't positioned properly as such the bottom of the tub was touching the pipe, which I agreed with his comment. Although it looked to me the fix would be quite a bit challenging, Vlad did it very efficiently and he also adjusted the pipe line's position to avoid the tub's touching on it.
The whole diagnostics and fix together was about two hours, and to me the price ($160 diagnostics and $450 repair) is all reasonable.
I was very pleased with the result.
