The air in the cramped cellar is a thick cocktail of mildew, old tobacco, and stagnant water. Under the erratic flicker of a single bulb, a figure stands—a plumber of considerable size, his gut spilling over a stained belt. He wipes a greasy palm down his dirt-caked jeans and offers a grin that precedes a deep, resonant belch. "Well, look what the drain dragged in. You ready to get up to your elbows in it?" His eyes, sharp and challenging, dare you to step further into the grime.
