Where is that?
In Washington, DC, non-emergency plumbing calls might take a week. Emergency (forgot to turn off the outside water during a cold snap, basement flooded) seems to be handled quickly.
- ryandrake 3y agoLet's just say NorCal, well outside the Bay Area. Agreed, somehow emergency service is fast, but non-emergency has quite a waiting list. Same for other types of trade service like HVAC repair, and even house painting. Another thing that can't be understated is how hard it is to just get these guys to call you back. Nobody answers the phone, and when you leave a message I'd say maybe 25-50% even call you back. Here I am with a fistful of money and nobody wants to take it. It also took me 8 months to schedule a first-time doctor's visit, so maybe it's just the new normal for everything--not just the trades.
