Today is National Plumbers’ Day. When was the last time you had to call a plumber and what task did you need them to undertake?

After a 10 year battle and hundreds of our dollars keeping our drains flowing, they fixed it!

When was the last time you had to call a plumber and what task did you need them to undertake? We had to call a plumber about 1 1/2 years ago to clean out the clean out pipe in FL. I've been using septic safe Scott toilet paper for years. Well that week Charmin was on sale and I thought...maybe I'm overreacting about the septic safe TP so I bought Charmin Within a week the house got clogged up and the drains all back up. I will never again buy TP if it is not septic safe It was a costly lesson
