A plumbing emergency in Crows Nest
“Jerry, what’s that smell?”
“Karen, I just don’t know. I’ve done everything I can to get rid of it but it just keeps coming back.”
“Did you try calling a plumber?”
“There’s no need to be sarcastic. You’re still my little sister, even if you are trying to be a smart ass. I did not call a plumber because I thought that it would go away if I washed the bathroom properly.”
“And, did you do that?”
“Yes, tried everything I could. Detergent, hot water, even shampoo and some bath salts. But, the darn smell returns.”
Tell me, why didn’t you just call the emergencyplumber?”
“Like I said, I thought it was uhhh something I could wash off. And I umm…I actually don’t know any emergency plumber who will come by for such a flimsy thing.”
“Shoot Jerry. What an insane excuse! If you wanted a plumber badly, you know that all you had to do was give me a call. I just had a badly blocked drain cleaned out. Why didn’t you just call me?”
“Heck, Karen, you stay in Naremburn, St Leonards, Wolstonecraft, North Sydney, Waverton, Cammeray and Neutral Bay. How can your plumber take care of a plumbing emergency in Crows Nest?”
“Surprise, big bro. I found a plumber who works not just in Naremburn, St Leonards, Wolstonecraft, North Sydney, Waverton, Cammeray and Neutral Bay. And that’s not all. They take care of all sorts of plumbing problems – blocked drains, leaking faucets, heater problems, renovations, heating… all sorts of plumbing problems.”
“So, what are you? A walking brochure for these emergency plumbers?”
“Now look who’s being sarcastic? No, I mean it, Jerry. I liked their service tremendously. They came within an hour of my call and they were very, very thorough. But, best of all, they cleaned all the yucky stuff, Jerry. There was nothing for me to do. For that alone, I’d gladly be their walking ad. You ought to call them too.”
“You’ve made your point. Do you have their number with you?”
Jerry fixed an appointment with the emergency plumber from Crows Nest right away. Just as Karen had said, the plumber came within an hour of his call. They also identified the source of the smell almost immediately. A leak at the bottom of the commode!
“Does that mean I’ll have to change this thing?”
“No way! I’ll just seal the leak for you and it’s never going to come back again. No sweat,” the emergency plumber assured him.
Jerry was relieved. The plumber finished his job in less than twenty minutes. Jerry noticed that the plumber had cleaned all traces of cement before he left. The toilet was spotless – just as Karen said. He knew he owed her on this one and there would be no end to the ribbing he was surely going to get from his know-it-all little sister! This time, he guessed it was worth it.
