I have a water leak that is either in an outside wall, brick on the outside / sheetrock on the in side, or in the concrete slab. I need to get the leak repaired and sheetrock/brick fixed. Heard Home 360 does good work at a fair price. What say ye? TIA

Call a plumber and get the water stopped, worry about repairs after the water is done...

Yeah, any Pedro can do the Sheetrock, stop that water first.

Personally I would turn off the water now if it's leaking in the house, get the plumber there and turn it back on.

Start making holes in drywall.
You have to break some eggs to make huevos ranchero.

No water in house, pooling outside. Also, is the leak repair something my homeowners insurance might pay for?

Don't call home 360. You want it fixed today?

It does not need to get fixed today. Leaking outside but I would like to get it done soon at a reasonable as possible price.

Post some pics of the damage, and your deductible amount and I should be able to tell you if it is worth filing a claim. Also get any fans you have and start running them in the drywall...

My bad. At this point, no visible damage. As far as insurance, I was questioning the repair work.

Most policies will cover access to the water line, replacement of the stuff that was removed but not the line itself, unless a reroute is needed then they pay for 100%. If there is no damage to the structure (drywall, carpet, etc) then the policy would not have coverage for any of the plumbing...

I just got my leaked fixed by American plumbing. They we're quick and easy. My insurance covered it along with additional damage. My leak was in the slab so they had to reroute my water line which ended up being around 2000$

Use lafleurs. They are local to you. That's who my buddy works for.

That you know of, and hopefully you're correct.

Called Lafleurs. They are busy with new construction. Not taking any new customers.
