Report
Jose from George Salet came out to our home and cleared our drains. He was professional (wore PPE), friendly and most of all knowledgeable. He asked great questions to deduce the reason for the problem. Quickly identified the area of focus. It took some time to get through the hair clog, but he took care of it. Afterwards he thoroughly checked each drain to make sure all systems were working. Including adding stress to all the drains at the same time and they all worked fine.
He was also very clean! He closed doors behind him and left not a single trace that he had been here Well, except for the fact that all our drains work now! Thank You! Best part, the price was right! Fair and not overinflated. So important in this time of inflation.

Based on the conciliatory response from this company's owner, and the fact that they did a satisfactory job on repairing a gas leak in my fireplace, I am updating this review to 4 stars.

These guys are very honest and know what they are doing. Carlos did a great job trouble shooting and taking care of some burner issues on my gas water heater. I'm very satisfied.
