Too funny. Literally this morning, I was in line at Timmys and the guy in front of me, a friend of my bro-in-law and also a plumber, asked me how I solved a little prob I had a couple months ago at one of our rental properties...
The tenant called and said that there was a backup in the drain in the basement, so I called the aforementioned guy. He told me to call the city first as it may be their problem and to call him back if it wasn't.
Sure as shiz, it was the city's problem and they indeed fixed it immediately.
He went on to say that it was a good thing I called him and not some random plumber as they have a tendency to come and screw around for a couple of hours (and rack up a bill) before telling you to call the city.
What a strange coincidence.
