"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."
"Replaced an old water heater that was rusting out from the bottom. The new one is more efficient and they even upgraded the expansion tank and earthquake straps. Everything up to current code now."
