Red flag
One documented no-show: plumber promised to return Monday to flag the yard but never appeared after shaking customer's hand on the commitment. This is a critical reliability failure on a verbal agreement.
“Plumber shook my hand then never showed up, broke his word”
One review documents a $749 service call that failed to resolve the issue, with the customer obtaining successful results from a competitor at similar cost
