Licensed Plumber Review?
Kitchen drainage pipe was clogged. Called urgently after 9pm and they despatched this experienced uncle plumber to resolve my clogged pipe. Despite my infrastructure he was able to drill a round hole through my cupboard so in the future I have clear unobstructed access to my drainage for future maintenance. Paid a bit more for after hours but got the job done to my satisfaction
