This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. They sent me a guy - with a 10 year experience, as they claimed. The experience clearly did not help him, as he flooded my basement, even after I had warned him that there was water in the pipe the day before when we carefully opened it. I even showed the buckets of water that we drained previously. Then after the whole laundry was flooded with stinky stuff, he promised to clean and then told me he did not know what the problem was and he was NOT BEING PAID for making decisions.... Ah? Why did you even come then if you cannot make decisions on what has to be done? Anyway, wasted a day with them. Don't waste yours.
