In an emergency situation when a plumber has to be called out during non-business hours Southern Plumbing has raised the integrity bar by means of employee compensation. The bigger companies’ employees are paid by 100% commission. Meaning, when they come out they could potentially be attempting to sell you something that you don’t need because it will drive the cost of the job up higher. Southern Plumbing’s employees are not commission based so you get charged for the repairs you need, not the repairs that cost the most.
