Willie came out and snaked the sink a few times with no luck. He determined that the sink drainage was connected to our A/C drainage. He want into our attic, cut the vent pipe and snaked the plumbing from that angle. With much determination, sweat and hard work, the sink was unclogged.

"I purchased my first water softener and reverse osmosis water purifier 18 years ago when we first built our house. We loved both! But nothing lasts forever and both needed to be replaced. Luckily, I still had the paperwork from the original installation and I knew who to call. I received the same great service and attention as I had 18 years ago. Both the office staff and installers were extremely professional and courteous. The installers were very good about explaining everything…how the equipment worked and how to maintain it. A big plus for me, is they were very respectful of my property. They left everything clean and organized before leaving."
