Cleaning is not an easy business. You have to be willing to deal with the filthiest situations imaginable, and do it professionally and courteously.I was talking to a Philadelphia-based contractor the other day and he was telling me about all the plumbers he sees trying to get into the drain cleaning business. “It’s an art,” he says. “It’s not simple. There’s a lot more to it.”The people at O’Connor Plumbing in Germantown, Maryland, understand there’s more to it. Drain cleaning had never been an important part of the equation for the 66-year-old business, but that changed a few years ago.
