Kawartha Lakes Mums - Have you Heard of  Karelsen Plumbing?

Karlesen Plumbing Saves The Day!

from St. Dave's Diner Lindsay
Just wanted to say "Thanks!" to Dick and the boys at Karelsen Plumbing. They always provide great service, and today was no exception.

 I was in downtown Toronto when a plumbing situtation arose at the Diner, the kitchen staff called Karelsen's and, as one staff member put it "they practically walked though the door to fix it before we hung up the phone". Kudos to them!
