“It is a delicate balance,” said Jaime Howe-Stolis, Plumbing Division Office Manager. “All of our dispatchers and call takers have to communicate so we are all on the same page. We have to know everything that is going on in the field and ensure our technicians are also being taken care, and dispatched to the right calls, in the right area based on our customers’ needs and technicians skill set all so we can continue providing the highest standard of service, quickly and at affordable rates.”
