| - Okay, I confess.
I didn't think to use Yelp to find a plumber; I'm still hard-wired for Yelp = Restuarants...
I'm working on it. :D
Well, I found Christian Brothers in the YellowPages, a nice big ad with pretty graphics and hey! a 10$ off coupon! I was naive enough to also think hey, I don't know if Christian is their name or religion, but a company named Christian can't be all that bad, right? Wrong!
I'm a small business owner so I really have to watch my costs. To get a single drain rootered, yes ONE, it cost me over 350 dollars. There were all these fees and seeing I was really surprised at the final bill, the guy didn't hesitate to pull out a big thick book of numbers from his tool bag. "Look, this is what the going rate for this is in our line of work. Look at it yourself." I was speechless as I wrote out the check and he headed out the door.
It was afterwards when I got to thinking, why it had cost so much and what kind of professional carries a book of what it's supposed to cost!
Plus, since a lot of my drains seem to be connected to one another, they were back up again pretty quickly. I called and I was told after 24 hours, it it would be considered a different problem and that I would be charged for it. WTF!?
Since then, I've found a company that does the same thing plus more for much much much less!
Don't trust these "Christians"!
