Our bathroom sink drain was clogged. Again. And since I don't relish racing against a quickly filling sink to brush my teeth, we went online and found a recommendation for Pacific Drain on THAT parents' network site, you know the one. We were able to make an appointment with Nasir the next day. While we were discussing the appointment, Nasir told us he would call us at 9:30am on the day of the appointment to tell us more precisely when he would be arriving (but that it would be between 10am and noon), and--get this-- he ACTUALLY called at 9:30am on the day of to tell us that he would be coming at 10:00am. And then, wait, because this is shocking, he actually showed up at 10:00am! Then he cleared our drain in about 30 seconds, explaining to me what he was doing so you can do it next time. The whole thing took less than 10 minutes and he volunteered to give us a discount because it was such a quick job. I have to admit, I was slightly floored. I have never before interacted with a plumber who was so 1. Punctual (let's be real if they show up the same week they told you they would, it's usually a bonus) 2. Communicative (he called when he said he was going to call; and he called twice -- once to give us an estimate of his arrival time and once to tell us he was actually leaving the prior job and would arrive at our house in 10 minutes) 3. Fast. He was in and out in 10 minutes. 4. Nice. He volunteered to give us a discount.
As an added bonus, when he arrived, we asked him if he had shoe booties (because we have a crawling infant, not because we're usually neat freaks) and he offered to take off his shoes! Although I'm not looking forward to more clogged pipes, when it happens, we'll be calling Pacific Drain & Rooter Service. If you value actually knowing when a service person is going to arrive because oh.. I don't know... you're not a shut in, and if you value professional and quick work, Pacific Drain & Rooter Service won't do you wrong.
