When it rains it pours.
Literally.
As the nation is dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic and you have just found out that your hours at work are going to be cut, you woke up to a large wet spot in the downstairs ceiling, directly below an upstairs toilet. Fortunately, your neighbor is one of the most qaulitilfed Sacramento plumbers and has time on his schedule to come at least stop the leak this morning. Like other Sacramento plumbers, however, he is in high demand and will likely not be able to come complete the rest of the reject until later in the week. By drilling a small hole in the ceiling, he has assured you that this will help the ceiling completely dry before that space is repaired.
The Best Local Plumbers Are Often in High Demand
One day can make a significant change in the lives of a property owner.
Just yesterday you were dealing with the fact that you and the kids would be home from school for the foreseeable future on what was one of your favorite holidays. Trying to make the best of the situation, however, you found a way to turn the tables and what an amazing day today turned out to be! As St. Patrick’s Day approached, it became clear this year was going to be different. You initially became really sad that you would be missing out on all your favorite places, filled with all your favorite food, music, and, most of all, people.
Bound and determined to make the best of a crummy, coronavirus driven day, you and the kids got to work. Armed with the few supplies you had at home, and an emergency run for a couple of favorite Irish beers, you put together some Leprechaun Treat Bags for the friends we usually see every Saint Patrick’s.
You spent the afternoon as a family, sneakily delivering these treats to the doorsteps of your friends. After six days at home, it was so fun for you to see your friends’ bright and shining faces light up when the doorbell rang. Having face-to-face, yet distant, conversations with so many you love brought so much joy to your hearts. Everyone then sent you pictures of their smiles when they got back inside their homes.
You knew your secret Leprechaun Mission was going to be fun, but you never would have guessed that you would have walked away feeling so filled with love and joy. Your hope was to give that feeling to everyone else. This was, yet again, proof that showing kindness to those around you feeds the souls of everyone involved.
So on this St. Patrick’s Day 2020 and beyond, it is important to try to find ways to spread joy to one another. Everyone has a really long road ahead, but there is so much to be thankful for. This may not have been how you thought St. Patrick’s Day would go this year, but it may prove to be the most memorable one.
Just one day after the Wearing of the Green, however, you woke up to the wet ceiling. So now, one day after that favorite holiday you are addressing a new challenge. This one, however, seems more manageable, because there is at least a script for what to do with a plumbing problem: shut off the water, find the leak, clean up the mess, work on a solution. And while finding the best Sacramento plumber might be a challenge for some of your friends and family, you feel fortunate that you have one just right down the block.
Whether it is on St. Paddy’s Day or in the middle of the Coronavirus, consider these facts and figures about the many times when you might find yourself looking for Sacramento plumbers or these skilled professionals in your part of the country:
- Leaks waste up to 180 gallons of water per week in the average household, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

- 13.7% of water use is the result of leaks, according to Plumbing Manufacturers International.
- More than 300 gallons of water are used daily by the average family.
