Few remain, but they do exist.

I once had a drain blockage that my guy kept messing with and couldn't get out. He called a friend with a bigger jetter. When that didn't break it out, and after about 3 days of futzing around with their ideas, they called this other guy. He was the good plumber.

He showed up, and without getting his hands dirty, diagnosed the problem, collected a fee, and left in about an hour. (Some crew had laid fiber cable, drilled through the drain pipe, and created a blockage. The good plumber called the company who did it, who got their own crew to fix it.)

So I guess the moral of my story is yeah, ask a plumber for a good plumber.
