I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE EXCITED TO SPEND MONEY ON A PLUMBER.
Bear with me.
We had a different guy come out yesterday because our toilets and sinks were backed up, and water wasn't moving in our house. He spent 10 minutes cleaning our sewer line, then told us the pipe was broken, we'd need to replace ALL of it, and we'd also need to replace the water line in our basement. As in ... dig up our whole yard, bust through the sidewalk, and get the city involved.
Grand total: $5,600.
I didn't feel good about it. I insisted we call someone else.
NOTHING is wrong with our sewer line. We almost got taken for a $5,600 ride. There was a small root clog the first guy missed.
I called Anaconda Drain based on a bunch of reviews I read online. These guys are the most professional, thorough, courteous, and honest people you could ever hope for in this industry. All of the other reviews are true. They are my plumbing fantasy. (My husband is OK with that.)
All of this got me thinking about life (always expect me to go deep, even when plumbing is involved) ...
#1 -- Never take the first scary answer, especially if it's going to cost a lot of $$$ or something important is on the line.
#2 -- True service beats trickery EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. We get ahead in life by over-delivering and being consistent with excellence, not by pulling fast tricks.
I'm feeling insanely grateful for my flushing toilets and the $5,600 I didn't spend. ALSO: Hire these people the next time your plumbing gets janky. I will never call another plumber in my life.
