Modern AU! for rdr2 characters

These are my headcannons for each character and what I think they would do in modern times.

Characters included: Arthur, Micah, Dutch, John, Abigail, Mary-Beth, Karen, Tilly, Sadie, Strauss, Charles, Susan, Bill, Lenny, Hosea, Sean, Molly, Javier, Swanson

_______________________________

Arthur Morgan: 

He works a blue-collar job. He would most likely be a ranch hand, but for some reason, I can also imagine him being a plumber or welder. In his free time, he does art and sells prints on Etsy. He is still an old-fashioned gentleman (In a good way), and all of the ladies he meets swoon for him, but he is a himbo and doesn't realize they are practically in love with him. They will give him the most obvious hints, but he will think the women are just being nice. 

Micah Bell:

He's the creepy uncle that you avoid at every family gathering. He hasn't had a job in like 15 years, and no one knows how he can still pay his bills. And he also always smells like lingering alcohol and cigarettes. He will lean too close to his nieces and say extremely concerning things everyone would choose to ignore. Im also getting the vibes that he went to prison for several years, but no one knows what for.

Dutch Van Der Linde:

He sells people scams or owns a pyramid scheme business. Similar to Scentsy products, he somehow convinces all of these people to buy his products to sell to other people, telling them they will get rich by selling these products, but, in reality, he's screwing them over and making most of the money himself. 

John Marston: 

If we are talking about early Red Dead 2 Marston, he still lives in his parent's basement and plays video games on his PC all day. He also watches Andrew Tate and would try to boss Abigail around and tell her he's an alpha male. (She'd slap him and tell him to get over himself) Late rdr2 and rdr1, he's grown out of that mindset and has become a working family man. Potentially also a welder, like I said for Arthur. But any high-paying physical job works.  

I feel like Abigail, Mary-Beth, Karen, and Tilly would all have a mom group they host every week to discuss their child's newest achievements. Their husbands think that is all they do at the meetings, but they also have in-depth conversations about women's suffrage and how the world caters to men. They think of ways to better the world and bring more women together to discuss these topics and bring light to issues regarding women. The girls would run a pretty popular Facebook group where they let other women express their opinions on those topics. (Arthur is a part of the Facebook group and likes every post he sees and comments shit like, “You're doing great, ladies! Keep up the good work! 😁🥰👍”) 

Sadie would probably occasionally attend these meetings (Although I dont see her having children, she would go for the cheap wine and to hang with her friends). Sadie would also go for the in-depth conversations and bring new thoughts to the table because she is a CEO or manager for a very successful company. She would share her experiences of what it's like to be on top of the men who work for her but still be looked down upon by them simply because of her gender. She would also probably share tips on that Facebook page on how to create a successful business without having to attend years of college and give tips for all stay-at-home moms who want to be more than just moms and wives. (She would also be the cool rich aunt)

Leopold Strauss: 

He would do the same thing. He gives loans to people who he knows won't be able to pay back the money, and then when the bill comes, he'd ruin their lives and probably end up breaking up families/ relationships and send people to jail for not paying back the money in time. 

Charles Smith:

I can see him being a park ranger or working in any conservation field. Potentially even a firefighter who deals with all of the forest fires that happen in places along the West Coast. He’d also be one to do something similar to what he did in the game, but he would work with the local native tribes against companies to try to win back their lands before it gets plowed over for an Amazon factory or something. 

Susan Grimshaw:

I can see her being the mean substitute teacher who yells at everyone to get to work, and then when someone does something slightly wrong, she would yell at the whole class and be like, “In all of my years of teaching, I have never seen a class behave this badly.” Either that or she would work at the front desk of the business Sadie runs. Miss Grimshaw would NOT play with anyone who would try to be rude towards her. 

Bill Williamson: 

Ehem…a police officer. I feel like this one is self-explanatory. But he would mostly sit in his car and do nothing his entire shift. Occasionally pulling someone over for speeding. If they are a white dude, he'd would let them off with just a warning. Poor Lenny would probably get the ticket. 

Lenny Summers: 

I feel like he would be the one to graduate high school early and go to college as soon as possible. I dont know exactly what he would choose for his degree, but I feel like it would be something involving politics. Maybe that wouldn't be his major, but he would take a government class. Or Potentially going into journaling. 

Hosea Matthews:

He's the retired grandpa who used to work in a factory where he made a surprising amount of money and was able to retire early. He spends most of his days walking up at 5 in the morning to watch the sunrise and read the morning paper. And he’ll spend every opportunity he gets to take his kids or grandkids fishing. And if you stay at his house overnight or for the weekend, he gives you a bowl of ice cream every night before bed and recounts every story he could think of that happened from the last time you saw him. (Some of them are surprisingly concerning, but he is one of those badass grandpas)

Sean Macguire:

Similar to John, Sean would spend most of his time gaming on his PC and arguing with children on COD or Fortnite. But he also works at a local bar as the bartender and won't hesitate to argue with the drunk assholes and would slap a bitch if needed. But he also embarrasses himself by flirting with women who will give him dirty looks or tell him that they are gay. (I feel like Karen would also work late-night shifts at the bar with him, but shes also taking online college classes because she wants to be a social worker) 

Molly O’Shea:

Instagram and TikTok influencer 100%, and lots of brands like to sponsor her and send her free stuff (Mostly because of Dutch’s business.) and she posts videos of her and Dutch, and everyone in the comments freaks out about how he is grooming her because of their age difference but she denies it all and says that they are actually in love.  But then she would post a video to that one sound, “My god this reminds me of when we were young.” And Molly be like 8, and Dutch be in his mid-to-late 20s. 

Javier Escuella: 

He’d be a musician. He would have started out in a shitty garage band with Sean and John or something, but then he’d realize he actually wants to be a serious musician while the other guys were just messing around. So he’d leave and make solo music that blows up, and he ends up going on tour, and making a lot of money and becoming hugely successful. 

Reverend Swanson:

The preacher you always see in the corner of the bar Sean works at. And if you went up to him and started talking to him, he’d tell you the most profound things. He would tell you about his life when he was younger and what happened that made him lose hope, but he would motivate you to never give up. He’d be that person you meet by chance for a few seconds that you would never forget. Hosea probably invites him to go fishing with him from time to time. But instead of fishing, Swanson stares at the water ripples in silence. Hosea would let him sit in silence and let Swanson enjoy the company and the time to think while being sober.

[gatheringbones]

“These were years when, to the distress of many a young male European, Europe was at peace. For a young man looking for battle, especially battle against a poorly armed enemy, the Congo was the place to go. For a white man, the Congo was also a place to get rich and to wield power. As a district commissioner, you might be running a district as big as all of Holland or Belgium. As a station chief, you might be a hundred miles away from the next white official; you could levy whatever taxes you chose in labor, ivory, or anything else, collect them however you wanted, and impose whatever punishments you liked. If you got carried away, the penalty, if any, was a slap on the wrist. A station chief at Manyanga, on the big rapids, who beat two of his personal servants to death in 1890 was only fined five hundred francs. What mattered was keeping the ivory flowing back to Belgium. The more you sent, the more you earned. “Vive le Congo, there is nothing like it!” one young officer wrote to his family in 1894, “We have liberty, independence, and life with wide horizons. Here you are free and not a mere slave of society. . . . Here one is everything! Warrior, diplomat, trader!! Why not!” For such people, just as for the humbly born Stanley, the Congo offered a chance for a great rise in status. Someone fated for a life as a small-town bank clerk or plumber in Europe could instead become a warlord, ivory merchant, big game hunter, and possessor of a harem.”

Do You Have the Time? Episode 011: Thank You

[October 13th, 2007, 19:45]

Leslie and Leopold sat in their seats in the auditorium back at CVU for the award ceremony. No matter what, she couldn’t get the smile imprinted on her face to soften. The prospect of going to college with the only stipulation being just another perk for her made her giddy. She glimpsed at Leopold who sat next to her, watching the ceremony. He could feel her beaming at him and he chuckled at her intensity. She sure would make an interesting, new lab partner. Or, lab subordinate. He looked forward to having her work with him. Blue light emitted from Leslie’s phone. She looked down to see two new messages.

19:21 Max: Where are you?

19:45 Mom: Parking now.

Leslie pursed her lips together and flipped her phone shut again. The host of the award ceremony on the stage announced that they were moving on to her category. All students were required to select a category when they submitted their names for consideration of the scholarship. Leslie chose arts and sciences. The list of the three winners of the scholarship was brought out to the host and he began reading the names off. Third place was taken by someone that Leslie was completely unfamiliar with. Upon his name being called, he rose from his seat and jogged down the middle aisle of the auditorium. He climbed the stairs at the side of the stage and accepted his bronze-decorated certificate to take to the bursar’s office and cash the scholarship money. The host kept the student on the stage while they called the next name.

“The second place winner for the arts and sciences informational presentation ‘The Importance of Research and Funding’… Leslie Goodchild, awarded two-thousand and five-hundred dollars!” the host yelled with enthusiasm.

Leslie’s heart fluttered; she could not believe it. It was almost as if too many wonderful things were happening. Her jaw dropped with an enormous smile at Leopold. He laughed and motioned to the middle aisle.

“Don’t look at me, kid, go get your prize!”

Leslie stood up and adjusted her shirt and hobbled past Leopold and to the aisle. Getting to the stage was all a blur. She awkwardly trotted to it and climbed up the ledge, rather than taking the stairs. The fastest route. The host holding the microphone jumped with surprise when he noticed Leslie scaling the side of the stage like a rock climber. Leopold involuntarily grimaced and pulled at the collar of his shirt, as he watched Leslie’s graceful display.

“Whoa there!” he chuckled with the microphone far from his face. The volume was low, but it reached the audience. Snickers erupted from the rows of seats. Leslie stiffly extended her arm out for a handshake, further catching the host off guard. She began to blush and sweat. The host quickly shook her hand and positioned her next to the third place winner. He slipped her the silver certificate and she beamed out at the blinding lights pointed at the stage. She didn’t even pay attention to the first place winner. The only thing Leslie was thinking about was her lifted spirit. The host ushered the three of them off the stage after they bowed in unison. They all snuck down the staircase off to the side before the host mentioned the next category.

“Let’s make sure Ms. Goodchild makes it back to her seat safely,” he joked. The auditorium filled with laughter as Leslie sheepishly scurried back to her seat next to Leopold. He turned his legs to the side, so she could slip past him and into her seat with ease. She dropped into her seat and turned to him.

“I made kind of a spectacle, huh? Everyone’s laughing.”

“Eh, well, you’re twenty-five hundred dollars richer than all of them now, so I think you’ve got more to laugh about,” he winked.

Leslie smiled at him with excitement. Without speaking a word, she glommed onto Leopold with glee and gratitude. He grunted from the force of her hug and chuckled. His only free arm wrapped around her and gave her a friendly squeeze.

“What’s this all about?” he questioned. She released him and sat back, still looking at him.

“I’m just very excited to come here next fall and work for you. I—if I get accepted, I mean,” she stuttered.

Leopold ignored her qualifier.

“Oh, please, you’ll get accepted. We’re going to be researchers now, okay? That means thinking of experiments together—”

“Yes.”

“—and writing papers about our findings—”

“Yes,” she said, emphatically.

“—coming in everyday to keep the projects moving—”

“Yes! I can do it, sir!” she beamed and shook.

“—and things might get tough, but we can’t let that get in the way—”

“Yes, yes, yes! Ohh, I can’t wait!” she squealed in her seat.

“Leslie,” said a sharp and severe voice.

Her smile was wiped off her face as she peered past Leopold to see her mother standing in the aisle, glaring at her. Leslie shrunk in her seat and glanced around, fearfully. Her mother strictly motioned for her to come out of her row and follow her out of the auditorium. Leopold remained quiet, deciding not to get involved. Leslie clutched her certificate, and walked out behind her mother into the hallway. They were about 5 metres from the entrance and stood equidistant to the bathrooms in the other direction of the auditorium.

“I don’t even know where to begin with you!” her mother spat.

“What— what did I do?” Leslie sputtered, “Where’s dad?”

“Your father is still at work,” she said with disdain, “We were supposed to come together but he had to go back. Do you know why?”

“Umm… n—no? Why?”

“We got home within minutes of each other. About to get ready to come here, and as soon as we walked inside, the ceiling was dripping like crazy.”

“Wh—what?” Leslie asked.

“The water heater in our attic had been gushing water out the bottom for twenty minutes, Leslie.”

Leslie frowned and tilted her head, unaware of what the water heater had to do with her.

“I asked you at the beginning of the month to do a general maintenance check for us. Do you remember?”

“I— uh, I—I— think so. I just—”

“I told you to check the gutters. To check the garbage disposal and the fire extinguisher, smoke detectors, deep clean the house, and what was the last thing I asked you?”

“To check the water heater?”

“To check the water heater,” her mother scolded, “Christ, Leslie, you only have to do that one twice a year. We don’t ask much of you. It’s not that hard. Just see if there’s a leak. And if there is, call someone to come fix it. You have my card information, I was prepared to handle the cost. All you had to do was go up there and look,” she rebuked.

“I’m sorry, mom, I—” Leslie squeaked with submission.

“Oh, I know you’re sorry,” she said, sardonically.

“Is… is everything okay?”

Her mother scoffed.

“I don’t know. How would I know? Your father ran upstairs and stopped the leak. We had to shut the water and electric off, and call a plumber. We might have water damage and have to replace the water heater. Do you have any idea how much that’s going to cost?”

“No,” Leslie peeped.

Leopold cautiously stepped out of the auditorium to check on Leslie.

“Well, you’re just lucky we caught it when we did,” her mother continued, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what we would do. Your dad just went right back to work. Decided to pick up an extra shift just to anticipate how much we’re going to have to shell out over this. I left the plumber there to come see you, but told him that I’d be back to figure out our options before he leaves, so. That’s how my day was,” she said, wryly, “How did your presentation go?” she asked with contempt.

Leslie wore an expressionless, distant face and held up her second place certificate with her lips locked. Her mother’s demeanour became softer for a moment when she realised that she’d rained on her daughter’s celebration. Still, her detached affect returned shortly.

“Well. At least that worked out. You worked hard for it. Good job.”

The compliment felt insincere to Leslie. Almost obligatory and reluctant. Leslie nodded with feigned gratitude and a trembling lip. Leopold crept up to them and rested his hand on her shoulder. Leslie could feel her entire body become as light as a feather, then nothing. As if she was no longer attached to her body. She couldn’t speak. Leopold wore a pretend smile and extended his other hand to her mother. He held Leslie securely under his grasp.

“Hi there, I’m Dr. Leopold Looney. I met your daughter today after I listened to her presentation. She is extremely talented and driven. You should be very proud.”

Her mother gave him a shifty gaze, wondering if he was complimenting her or criticising her. She shook his hand, firmly.

“Alma Goodchild. I was hoping to speak to my daughter alone, Dr. Looney.”

“Of course,” he took a step back, “I’ll just be near the auditorium, Leslie. You can come find me when you guys are done, or if you need anything.”

Leslie gently nodded, while looking down at her feet.

“We will discuss this more later when we get home,” Alma declared, “If you want to stay for the rest of the ceremony, you can. I’m going to go wait in the car.”

She took a step back and, before turning around and heading towards the building’s exit, she left Leslie with one last thought.

“You know, water heaters can explode from the pressure build-up. They leak to release that pressure, so that doesn’t happen. But it can still happen. And it could have destroyed the house if the pressure was high enough. If you were there, it could have seriously hurt you. Just think about that next time.”

Alma stomped away and out into the parking lot. Leslie glanced around with a permanent frown cemented to her face. She met eyes with Leopold who was leaned against the wall next to the double doors of the auditorium. He began to push himself off the wall to approach her, and Leslie realised she couldn’t talk to anybody in that moment. She twirled around and scrambled for the women’s restroom. Leopold jolted and pursued her, but she was more agile.

“Leslie, wait!” 

He reached out as he ran, but she slammed the door before he could even reach it. He groaned and sighed in frustration at himself.

“Damn these old man reflexes,” he mumbled to himself.

Leslie stood on the other side of the door with her back pressed against it. Her face was flushed and hot, her forehead pounding, bottom lip shaking, neck and shoulders tensed. It was beyond her control. Her frown opened up. Heavy sobs escaped from her breath, and tears poured down her face from her harshly shut eyes. She shrunk down to the floor, held her knees to her chest and cried into them. Her second place certificate remained clutched in one of her hands, getting wrinkled. One of the corners poked between her abdomen and her knees, and began to dampen.

Leopold sighed and leaned against the other side of the women’s restroom door with his arms crossed. Students and their parents walking past in both directions flashed him confused and strange looks. He gave them all half-waves and half-smiles.

“Hi, how’re you?” he said openly to anyone passing him, “Lovely ceremony so far, huh?”

Nobody responded to him.

He exhaled in uncertainty.

Leslie’s phone buzzed again from her pocket. She retrieved it and opened it up. More messages from Max. She must not have noticed them while she was being awarded and talking to her mother. She caught herself up on the messages and began responding to them.

19:50 Max: Haha, you’re supposed to take the stairs, weirdo. 19:50 Max: I wanted to sit with you during the ceremony, but I couldn’t find you. 19:53 Max: Hey, how come you didn’t come see my presentation? You said you would try. 19:53 Max: I thought you would at least let me know if you weren’t going to make it. 19:54 Max: Actually, when you get off stage and go back to your seat, I’ll meet you, and we can talk in person, okay? 20:04 Max: Did you leave?

20:08 Leslie: Sorry I didn’t come see your presentation. I was talking to a professor here about his research.

20:08 Max: Oh, there you are. You were talking to him for the whole 8 hours?

20:08 Leslie: Well, no. 20:08 Leslie: But I had to present, too.

20:09 Max: Yeah, but I asked if you would have lunch with me, too.

20:10 Leslie: I said maybe because my parents were supposed to come see me.

20:10 Max: But they didn’t so, we could have had lunch together, right?

20:12 Leslie: I guess so. But I was eating with the professor.

20:12 Max: So you did you spend the whole day with him?

20:14 Leslie: No.

20:14 Max: After that, you just presented the whole time?

20:15 Leslie: He took me to his lab to show me where he works.

20:15 Max: He did?

20:15 Leslie: Yes.

20:15 Max: Sounds like you spent the whole day together.

20:18 Leslie: Are you mad at me?

20:19 Max: I just don’t understand why you would give all your time to him when I specifically asked you to come see me and eat with me and sit with me at the ceremony.

20:20 Leslie: I want to go here, and he’s a professor who was interested in my project. I thought it was a good idea.

20:21 Max: I mean, it was. You can talk to other people and everything. But I thought we were going to spend time together and you didn’t even ask me if you could do that stuff instead.

20:21 Leslie: Would you have been okay with it if I did?

20:23 Max: I don’t know. 20:25 Max: Where are you? Can we talk about this in person? 20:31 Max: Hello?

Leslie shut her phone and put it back in her pocket. She took a deep breath and rested her head on her knee. At some point during her conversation, she ran out of tears. There were no thoughts in her head for a good five minutes. She felt exhausted. Like a drain protruded from her heart and people were lined up, siphoning off parts of her. But gradually, she felt just a few drops of life returned to her. She picked her head up off her knee and listened.

“—and you are such a driven student. It seems like you have a lot to worry about, so if you aren’t able to come in to my lab everyday, that’s okay. I’m not even in my lab everyday, if I’m being honest. I still need your help if I’m going to cover your tuition, but it shouldn’t be a stressor that ruins your college experience, either. Wh— what’s that?” he mumbled to somebody else, “No, I’m not trapping someone in the restroom, I’m trying to get her out!”

Leslie giggled and sniffed. She dried her face and stood up.

“Anyway, Leslie, we’re going to figure this out. Together! I always want all of my students to feel comfortable in my classroom, in my office, and in my lab. Since you will likely be in all three of those at one point or another, that goes triple for you! I can see brilliance, and you have it. You just need to be given the resources to use it… my, uh… my wife, she used to always tell me to do exactly what I wanted, no matter how far-fetched it seemed. I think she could see that I was the dreamer out of the two of us, and she wanted me to embrace that as much as I could,” he chuckled, “And, now I’m in a position to help you embrace your dreams… at least I think they’re your dreams. Uh, you can correct me if I’m wrong,” he nervously laughed and cleared his throat, “Hi, please enjoy the ceremony,” he spoke to the passing families, “ Anyway, Leslie, the point is… I still think you should come work for me. And, I don’t see any reason why your mom would be against it, despite the… strong feelings she seemed to express a half an hour ago. If you have any… personal problems when you work for me, then we can always sit down and… we’ll work something out for you, if you want. Okay?”

Leslie meekly opened the door. Leopold jumped back in surprise, and gave her some space. They stepped out of the way of the doors and she leaned against the wall. Her face was relaxed but fatigued. She still appeared red in the face and around the eyes.

“Your wife doesn’t encourage you to do that stuff anymore?”

“Oh, err,” Leo startled, “I— uh, she— has been gone for… a few years, now.”

“Oh…” she trailed off, “She sounded like a very lovely woman.”

“Yeah… thank you— Leslie. She really was.”

“Do you want to talk about it? Can I help you?” Leslie asked. Leopold chuckled, wryly.

“Maybe another time, kiddo. I think you might need some rest first.”

She nodded and, after contemplation, opened her messages with Max to show to Leopold.

“So, your mom and your boyfriend have problems with you, huh?”

She scoffed.

“Max isn’t my boyfriend.”

“He’s not?”

“No!”

Leopold furrowed his brow and glanced over the messages again.

“Well… whatever he is… just be careful. Don’t let him tell you what to do.”

“Do you think I did something wrong?” she frowned. Leo sighed and pursed his lips.

“You know, poppet… why don’t we go it down to talk about this, alright?”

“…Poppet?” she asked, bewildered.

“Oh, it’s just an old man way of calling you kid,”

“Poppet… you and that woman…” she paused and thought, “Martha! You two sure do like terms of endearment.”

Leo shrugged.

“I guess it rubbed off on me! Maybe it will for you, too,” he chucked, “So… want to get some space from here?”

Leslie hesitated, took a deep breath and followed Leopold further away from the auditorium. They sat down together on the other side of the room of the box office where there was little noise. The wall behind them was mostly glass, and it peered out to the parking lot. They could see Leslie’s mom in her car from where they say. Leslie fidgeted in her seat and kept glancing outside.

“Maybe we shouldn’t talk for very long…” she mumbled.

“As long as your comfortable with. Or, we don’t have to at all. You can have my phone number and email address if you want to get in touch later. I guess you’ll need it anyway, if you’re coming to work for me,” he chuckled, “But you can always come back to the university to meet me and talk before you start work, too.”

She nodded vigorously, trying to internalise everything the best that she could. Leopold remained silent, and waited for her to initiate the discussion.

“I think Max is easier to talk about right now. Is it okay if I only talk about that?” she questioned.

He hummed in approval. She paused.

“…Dr. Looney?” she asked. He smiled faintly at her. “Thank you for being so nice to me today.”

Always Use a Professional Plumber

Plumbing issues are serious problems that home owners and occupiers face from time to time. It’s of the utmost importance that you contact a professional plumbing business instead of just someone in the local paper. There are many reasons to choose a professional plumber when it comes to your plumbing needs. This article gives a few examples of why you should use a professional plumber.

Choose a plumber who has up to date equipment.

When it comes to your plumbing needs, you may be tempted to go with someone based on the lowest price. Sure, you may have a small budget, everyone does, but this is not always the best way to go. I’m sure you have heard the old saying, you get what you pay for? Well this is often true when it comes to a quality plumber. Let’s start with the importance of workmanship. Hiring just some random guy may not be the right idea, especially if it’s a big job, like clearing out a drain. Sure, he may be able to get a pipe snake down there and get it cleared, temporarily, but what if you have large roots in your pipes? They probably won’t have the tools or equipment to inspect the pipes properly, such as a drain camera that travels down the drain pipes, identifying problems along the way. Will they have the tools to completely clear the pipes and correct the underlying problem permanently? Probably not. In fact, many of these low budget plumbers will more than likely refer you to a professional like Clearwater Plumbing and Maintenance

Choose a professional plumber to get the job done correctly and quickly.

Another reason to choose a professional company is that you will get faster and better service. A professional company is going to have the tools and equipment to get the job done right the first time, and within a less amount of time. If there are problems that take longer to fix, they are going to tell you before they start, so you know there is going to be a delay.

Maintain in contact with a plumber who will offer you 24-hour service in case of a plumbing emergency.

It is important that you have someone on hand to help you out in an emergency situation. Problems don’t always happen during the day during regular business hours. Usually these emergencies happen in the night or early morning, on a weekend, even on a holiday. Sure, a regular plumber may be able to help you in an emergency in most cases, but now you are at their mercy, they can charge you just about anything and you are going to pay it, because you no choice. A professional plumbing company is going to be on call, keeping the same emergency hours, but a good company isn’t going to rake you over the coals to come out in an emergency. If you have used them before, in many cases you may even get a discount. Additionally, a professional plumbing company may even offer a maintenance program, where they come out and maintain your plumbing, preventing problems from happening in the first place.

So now you know some of the reasons to hire a professional plumber service when it comes to plumbing and drains.

So, the next time you need plumbing or drain work done, turn to the people who know what they are doing. Whether it’s a small job, or a big one, make sure you use a plumbing expert  Clearwater Plumbing and Maintenance
