Myths vs. facts
Myth: a slow drain will sort itself out. Fact: a slow drain almost always gets worse over time as the blockage builds up — better to fix it before it clogs completely.
Myth: every plumber charges the same for a simple repair. Fact: price varies with accessibility and the condition of existing plumbing — a clear quote before starting avoids surprises.
