I had a great experience with Plumbing Pals (PP) today. My shower drain needed to be snaked so after a bit of Googling, I came across PP. I scheduled service and a technician came out the next day.

Our technician was dismissive and refused to explain what was going on or what the problem was with our shower. He left our bathroom a mess and also slammed the door on our way out which caused something to fall and break which he didn’t bother to pick up. We also got out drain snaked by him only a few months ago…

Clogged kitchen drain on Sunday, called and was given a 8-10am window on Monday. Leroy arrived on time, took a few tries, coming back in with bigger snakes (augur?), until drain was clear. Even then, there was a gurgle noise at the end on drain clearing, so he came back to run the snake one more time to clear that…
