We had a ""lovely"" experience with our basement filling up with raw sewage last night. The plumber who came out, Jim, was a pleasure to have to fix the problem. He was honest, answered all of my questions (and there were a lot), and explained everything he was doing at the time he was doing it. Him and my father-in-law talked like they were old friends (my father-in-law is also into doing his own plumbing with the equipment he has, so they talked plumbing talk while doing the job). The prices were actually considerably lower than what I had expected as I was told that plumbers are expensive. Not only did he fix the problem, he also cleaned up the problem and disinfected the basement when he was done. We have been living in our first house for less than a month now and are happy we were able to find a plumber that we can trust.
