Seorae Village: A Neighborhood Plumber, Ten Minutes Over the Hill

Seorae Village is low-rise by design: detached houses and three-to-five-story villas climbing the Montmartre park slope. That housing stock — much of it from the 80s and 90s — produces a distinct set of calls:

• Ground-floor and semi-basement drains during summer rain. Houses cut into a slope collect runoff. If your lowest floor drain has ever burped up water in a downpour, the outside line needs jetting before the next rainy season, not after.
• Villa stacks serving stacked families. In small villa buildings the handful of households share short, old vertical lines. Recurring bathroom clogs usually trace to buildup in that shared run — we scope it, clear the whole line, and split the explanation cleanly between what is your unit's and what is the building's.
• Long-occupied family homes with original plumbing. Households that have been in the same house for years often live with a slow drain or a ticking water meter longer than they should. A camera inspection plus targeted repair usually beats the re-piping they feared was coming.

Language, practically: text us in English and we answer in English. Phone calls work in Korean or Japanese. For French-speaking households, written English by SMS with photos has worked smoothly for years — the photo does most of the talking, and every price is put in writing before work begins.
