Baker's dream: no shut off
Giving a shout out to Brian Elmer Company of Rockton. Did I mention I have ancient plumbing?
Sept. 20, 2024:
Yesterday was just one of those days. Uncooperative buttercream shooed me from the kitchen…good time to give a good cleaning to the bathroom in the old house. Armed with de-limer, I set about scouring the sink and faucets.
Woe is me. Too much of a good thing. The faucet, freed from lime deposits, began leaking, as well as the pipe underneath. A trickle became a torrent.
Brian Elmer, busy, could not send anyone that day. All other frantic calls had the same result. Drenched in nervous perspiration, I resigned myself to a long night of emptying buckets. Did I mention ancient plumbing? No shut off valves.
Then Tricia, at Brian Elmer Company to the rescue. She had given thought to my dire situation. There was a plumber available. He would be right over. Before I could put down my phone and run to unlock the door, he was standing outside. All is well for now and I am just so grateful.
Thank you Tricia, thank you Brian Elmer Company. Highly recommended.
Love those new shut off valves.
