What homeowners say after the truck pulls out.
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"Kitchen drain had been slow for a year. Ran the cable, then put a camera down and showed me the grease ring on his screen. Explained what to stop pouring down it. Has not backed up since."
"Bill jumped forty dollars with nobody home. They found a slab leak under the hallway in about twenty minutes with a listening device. No jackhammering until they knew exactly where."
