Stopped-up drains or other plumbing problems are never fun, but our Henco tech certainly made it as painless as possible.
We had called out another plumber for our blocked kitchen drain, they came out but they were unable to clear the drain, they ran into an obstruction at some point in the system and were unable to continue with the resources that they had.
I called our management company, who recommended a drain specialist. I called a couple, and Henco was able to make an appointment on the second day after I called.
Mark from Henco arrived and, after listening to what had happened previously, very quickly came up with a logical game plan with a couple of options that made sense to me, then he used a camera to explore our condo's drainage system, and took the time to explain to me each decision he made as he went. He boiled it down to two options, one more budget conscious and another more directed toward a comprehensive solution.
During the whole process, he was very conscious of protecting the floors/stairs as he moved his equipment in and out, and was confident from the beginning that he could solve our dilemma.
He was equipped with any/all of the equipment he needed, and rather quickly had the drain cleared, and then, at his suggestion, he used high-pressure water to completely clear any residue in the drain and advised us on preventative maintenance practices and recommended an enzyme solution to avoid or reduce the problem going forward. He was able to supply that product at a competitive price.
A friendly, articulate, and consummate professional throughout our service call. He left no trace of having been here when he left. Spotlessly clean.
I suspect Henco may not be the cheapest plumber in town, but they certainly are well prepared for any possibilities that may arise and take the time to involve the customer in the decision-making process. I don't see how it could have been better.
