Wanted thoughts from more experienced persons. Water company in his area, (big city Philadelphia) says all from 6 feet prior to the main valve is *your problem* and didn't want to pay a plumber if there was info on a list of great guys; which as before could lead me to knowledge or solution. Thanks much.
