Sheesleys sent Sam and Zale to fix a clogged pipe. They were both friendly and professional. They found the problem and talked me through the issues as they fixed it. I would highly recommend them and Sheesleys for their great service they gave! Service: Drain cleaning

They always answer the phone, they show up and they get the job done. No long phone queues, voicemail. When your toilet doesn't flush or water is leaking that is worth a million dollars.

These guys went out of their way on one of the coldest days of the year. So kind and professional, from the person who first answered my distress call, who ended up calling out the boss, who showed up on the site to roll up HIS sleeves, if that's what it took to get us the help we needed. What a crew and what a company. So grateful.
