good thing and not a huge ripoff. Plumbers are right up there with YKW when it comes to people I
don't trust.

They have to live too. Your poop is their bread and butter.

I wouldn't mind them, if I trusted them. I had one tell me I needed a new water main, $10000 worth.
Thinking the water leak (coming under the foundation into the sump and overflowing into the
basement) might have been from the county line, I called them. They came out, tested the lines, and
told me there was no leak. Turned out my sump pump had plugged up. I put in a new sump pump and no
more problem.

Sneaky devils. I later found that the folks from this firm worked on a commission basis. Maybe they
all do now.

In my opinion you're almost always better off hiring people from a
small mom and pop business than from a larger company. Small
operations tend to have less overhead and rely more on word of mouth
recommendations.

The hard part is finding them. This time I used Angie's List. We'll see how it goes.
