"Garbage disposal stopped working completely. The plumber tried to reset it first and when that did not work he replaced it with a more powerful unit. Took maybe thirty minutes start to finish."
"Floor drain in the laundry room was backing up with sewage smell. They cleaned the line and found it was basically clogged with lint and soap residue from years of use. Smells normal again finally."
"Great experience with a tankless water heater upgrade. They explained the pros and cons honestly, sized the unit for our household, and the installation was clean. Endless hot water is real."
