Review from the web

There was a backflow issue with the sink in my kitchen on Friday night. I requested a repair, but I expected that I wouldn't be able to use the sink throughout the weekend. However, the next day, Alexander came to my room very quickly and fixed the problem perfectly. He was extremely professional and resolved the plumbing issue at a rapid pace. I am immensely grateful to Alexander for handling the issue quickly and flawlessly. Thank you!
