Paul with imperial plumbing was an exceptional experienced plumber. He took care of my clogged shower, also adjusted the water pressure. Making sure I had hot water for winter. He got the job done in a timely manner. Is very polite and professional. The only downside is that he isn’t 24/7 but I would definitely call him again.
