Can local plumbing services always be trusted for urgent issues?

[Benbeker]

Last week, a friend had a major leak that flooded part of her kitchen. She quickly searched for a  plumber near me and called Houston One Stop Home Solutions. They arrived promptly and fixed the issue, but it made me wonder are quick local searches enough to find reliable plumbing, or do we risk compromising quality for speed? Have you ever relied on a nearby plumber during an emergency, and was the service up to standard? How do you balance urgency with finding trustworthy plumbing professionals?
