Dependable Plumbing & Drain Cleaning

There's nothing quite as annoying as getting a clogged sink on a holiday - like July 4, in the late afternoon.  So, I figure, we can wait until July 5 and not be charged 2 horses and our left leg for after hours service.  I began calling plumbers early in the morning. Even the ones who claim they have same day service, if not same hour service, were all very nonchalantly saying they wouldn't be able to get out until the 6th.  Some of them said the 8th.  Eventually, I called someone (and I wish I could remember his name!), who said he couldn't get out, but gave me the name of a friend of his who also did plumbing.  I called him, and he also said he couldn't get out, but gave me HIS friend's number!  Wish I could remember his name too.  But, the name he gave me was Brandon at Dependable Plumbing.  Brandon was at our house within an hour or so.  He unstoppped a VERY stubborn drain (note to self and others - a garbage disposal is badly named - you're actually NOT supposed to put large amounts of garbage in it :/ ) and had us up and running again.  His charge?  $100.  I've had plumbers charge me almost that to just walk in the door.

I will be keeping Brandon's number for the next time I forget that I shouldn't put half an onion, 4 tomatoes, and leftover steak in the garbage disposal.

Brandon came and did a fantastic job with our new home. He checked out all the plumbing in the crawlspace,  and scoped all the rest of lines under the house and in the yard. In a situation like this a plumber can pretty much tell you anything and the bill can go in the thousands quickly in an older house, but Brandon gave us a clean bill of health, and a lot of great info on the state of our new house. Ive had guys tell me i needed to replumb an entire structure, several thousand dollars, when i knew there was no real issue, the point being that an honest plumber is priceless, and theyre getting harder to find, since a lot of companies put them on commission now. (In Georgia, dont know about FL. ) Brandon will be our first call, and I would highly recommend Dependable Plumbing to anyone who asks me.
