Molding plastic foam. The last US machine builders went out of business in
the 1980's.

I had a leaking pipe under my 60 year old kitchen sink and called a
plumbing company out of the phone book. They came in 2 hours, replaced
the broken part and fixed it for $80, probably took less than 45
minutes.

I had called my insurance company because I had no idea how long the
pipe had been leaking, so they sent Servicemaster over to have a look.

Servicemaster said that pulling the linoleum back and drying the wood
off with my hairdryer was the right thing to do and there wasn't any
damage the dehumidifier wouldn't take care of. They didn't charge me
anything.

I was kinda hoping for some numbers of what folks charge. How much to show
up, and the labor rate?

I also drive a van. No way I could be effective out of a passenger car.

Thanks, Ed. I'm obviously far too cheap.
