Should I clean before the plumber comes?

<div>Before your plumber pays you a visit, it’s a good idea to clean up any boxes, garbage, or other obstacles that could be in their way.

They were okay. They couldn't fix the problem, so they didn't charge me anything which was nice. Usually they charge you for a service call, but they didn't charge me a service call which was refreshing. Their punctuality was good and they were here when they said they are going to be there.
