“The technician noted the drain line from our washer was clogged, cleaned it out and would not accept payment. He came back and was so thorough — eventually finding that a drywall nail had been rubbing against a pipe and worn the smallest of holes! So professional, reasonable, and determined to find the real problem not upsell.”
