Simple job(s) of cleaning drain traps and possibly replacing the plastic push pull valves in two bathrooms.

Cleaning the drain traps is a DIY job I would normally do.....I just can't get down that low anymore or contort the body (as required).

So looking for a good plumber with good reputation and reasonable pricing......after 20 years here I understand jobs can swing by significant amounts of $$$ depending who is doing the quoting.....

I usually do multiple quotes for projects....not sure these simple/small tasks need to be multiple quoted...
Note that you probably have about 12 of the push-pull plastic valves in your house. I have had no problems with mine.

For a TV, you want to use these. Never use just a screw because it will rip out. You want to hold the TV's weight, plus be able to hold if someone runs into it, if there are odd forces from cleaning it, or someone grabs onto it by accident.

I am happy to recommend Pro Plus Plumbing LLC for a water heater replacement. Had ours replaced 2/16/24. Installed as promised on schedule, for cost quoted with good communication throughout the process.
