The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Positive
“Fixed my clogged shower drain in minutes. Came slightly outside of the appointment window and didn't call like I was told they would, also outrageously expensive at $446 to spend 3 minutes snaking ~2ft worth of easily accessible pipe, but I guess you're paying for expertise. Friendly and explained to me everything they were doing.”
“Alessandro and Joey were top notch professionals, explained thoroughly everything they were doing, checked out other issues in my home, and finished both jobs quickly! Highly recommend, will definitely use them again.”
