"Sump pump failed during a heavy rain and the basement started flooding. They came out in the storm, installed a new pump, and got the water under control before any real damage was done."
"Floor drain in the laundry room was backing up with sewage smell. They cleaned the line and found it was basically clogged with lint and soap residue from years of use. Smells normal again finally."
