"We had a clogged toilet that a plunger could not fix. The plumber used an auger and pulled out a toy car my toddler had flushed. Problem solved in ten minutes and he was really nice about it."
"Our water heater started leaking from the bottom on a Friday evening. They had a new 50-gallon unit installed by Saturday afternoon. No cold showers for the family, thankfully."
"Needed the main water shutoff valve replaced because the old gate valve was frozen open. Not a fun job since it required cutting into the foundation wall, but they did it right and it works perfectly."
