Diamonds – And Plumbers – Are a Girl’s Best Friend!

By Whitney Wyatt, Communications Manager at Mr. Rooter® Corporation

We all know the saying, “diamonds are a girl’s best friend”. But so are plumbers.

When it comes to engagement and wedding rings, Mr. Rooter® plumbers have saved the day for frantic fiancées and worried wives whose rings have gone down the drain.

From a $70,000 wedding ring accidentally flushed down the toilet to a diamond dropped down the garbage disposal – Mr. Rooter has retrieved it all. Some they’ve even kept secret!

“Our plumbers are heroes when they save the day for customers,” says Mary Kennedy Thompson, president of Mr. Rooter Corporation. “We go above and beyond to safely recover sentimental items, because we know how important they are to our customers.”

While some of the recoveries take hours, others in mere minutes. Both have the same outcome – overjoyed and relieved women.

If you end up in a similar position, Mr. Rooter Plumbing recommends calling a plumber ASAP. The key is keeping the water turned off and getting a plumber to your home immediately. They can use a video inspection camera to locate and retrieve items.

Jewelry isn’t the only thing Mr. Rooter plumbers have recovered. They’ve also rescued kittens, puppies, ducklings, a turtle and ferret. In 2010, they even retrieved the keys to a cage that held someone’s pet bobcat.

But if these aren’t enough to smile about, Mr. Rooter Plumbing’s most remarkable recovery is a man’s dentures. The bill for removing the dentures was less expensive than ordering new ones. The dentist gave some excellent cleaning tips, so the dentures can be used again.
