Have you ever been in awe of those everyday heroes who can turn a wrench and save your home from a watery disaster? Well, buckle up because this episode features the extraordinary John Booth of Your Neighborhood Plumber, a true maestro of the pipes, whose origin story is as heartwarming as it is inspiring. Together we navigate the winding pipes of plumbing myths and realities, debunking everything from the fairy tale of 'flushable' wipes to the gritty truth about liquid drain cleaners. John even serves up a zesty tip for keeping your garbage disposal in tip-top condition, proving that a plumber's toolkit can sometimes include a freezer full of citrus!

As we thread the needle between the technical and the personal, it's clear that the true conduit of success in any trade is robust communication. I share the thoughtful nuances of how a simple courtesy call, like the one to our beloved Ms. Lisa, can cement a lasting relationship between a business and its clientele. Wrapping up with heartfelt thanks to John for his valuable perspective, we extend an open invitation to our listeners: if there's a local business that's captured your heart, tell us about it. They could be the next celebrated guest in our Good Neighbor podcast family, where community and connection flow as freely as water through an expertly unclogged drain.
