A normal day with Clara

Picture a Friday night in Huntington Beach, right after a family Thanksgiving dinner. A homeowner calls because the kitchen drain has backed up and water is rising in the sink. The house was built around 1974, and she lives near Fountain Valley. She is not sure whether the water is still running. Clara asks her to close the shut-off valve under the sink and to stay away from water near outlets, then asks where the house is. She confirms the name and address, checks your open slots and reads back the date and address for confirmation. You get a notification on your phone with the summary. If the problem is a burst pipe or sewage backing up, Clara flags it as urgent and can transfer the call to you.
