Last Friday my toilet got plugged and wouldn't flush. The plumber I had used previously appears to be out of business, so I looked for another plumber. I hadn't used this service before, and was a little concerned that they are a relatively new business, having opened in 2020. Their BBB score is A, though, which was reassuring. So I emailed them for a quote.
The response was quick -- less than a half hour -- and precise. My plugged toilet would coast $129 to clear if the plug was in the toilet, more the plug was in the pipe to the main sewer line, and still more if it was in the sewer line. I asked when they could come out. They were booked through Monday mid-day, not perfect for me, but we had another bathroom. So we went with it.
They showed up when they said they would -- well, 10 minutes early. ;) They got to work, cleared the toilet fairly quickly, left it clean, and charged exactly what they'd quoted me. All good.
They also warned me that the toilet was quite old, hadn't be particularly high quality when new, and needed replacing to prevent frequent plugs. Our previous plumber had warned us that this was likely to be the case some time ago. So I asked for and received a quote to replace it with both an inexpensive and a best-quality option, to discuss with the property owner. (We rent.)
This sounds pretty routine for a good business, and *is* -- for a good business. Which is my point. :) These guys are honest, specific about costs and what needs doing, show up when they promised, and do the job, at least from this experience. They're on my list -- I will definitely use them in the future.
