I called last night for a morning service. They called this morning and said they were 20 minutes away, he arrived in 15 minutes. Seth F. was very professional and friendly. I showed him what I did in the last 24 hours. He used a big commercial sewer snake and cleared 100 feet of the sewer line. Currently, all restrooms are functioning properly. Seth did a great job, he also thoroughly cleaned up the area many thanks.
