I’m glad that I reached out when I did. My plumber came to my home in less than two hours from when I called. And, it was late in the day. He was nice, professional, and fixed my sink’s leak quickly.

I had an unusual request--I perform maintenance on my drains yearly, so I don't have emergency stoppages and was looking for someone who would not charge me "emergency prices". John, owner of Rooter Shield, was the man. He set up in 6 different Clean-outs and ran his snake through them & was done in 1.5 hours.

Details: No, repair is not urgent • Multiple drains have issues • Other issue • House
