We were having an issue with our grey water backing up and had no idea what type of system our pipe lead to. We had two other companies come to the house, fail to diagnose and or fix the problem, and we still had to pay a pretty steep price. We called Busy Bee and to our surprise, they came the same day. After only…

Over the years I have had to hire out several different companies to do repairs to my home. All of those companies, with the exception of one, were unprofessional, unpleasant to deal with and the quality of their work was sub standard at best.

This company was a lifesaver especially Vinny they came on very short notice to make sure that our systems would be back up and running before our holiday. He spent the time to do a perfect job and did not settle for “good enough “. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
