“Charlie and the team did an extremely thorough job when fixing the backup in our sewer. They identified the blockage with a camera and made sure it was all flushed out. They answered all my questions and gave me updates on their progress the entire time. It doesn’t get any better than Callahan Plumbing and I highly recommend them. Thanks again!!”
