"Toilet resealed but shims were exposed and not very professional looking results, probably will leak in future. Light fixture was cheap, but service man complained and should've denied work, instead hung and it fell 2 hours after he left, breaking the fixture. Service man stated that they normally don't do estimates. He walked through house but gave no estimate, told him it was OK to call me back or email estimate. Emailed them 2 months ago and secretary told me that service man would call me, never did. Tried 3 times to get them to give estimate, she never stated about not giving estimates. won't use them again."

Additional DBA - Hathcock Plumbing & Electric Company Inc.

"Paid them a few years ago to put in a main drain line and during the main line replacement did they bring up an issue with the slope and distance. Fast forward to last 90 days. They have flushed the line twice, rooted it three times and have ran a camera once. Keeping track that’s 700 plus dollars. Fast forward to 14th which was the 2nd time they flushed the lines in less than 45 days. Tech tells me because of the road construction and settling the slope is no longer there, Come out on the 21st cause it’s backed up again and they ran a camera, I’m on the porch watching the city water guy is out there with him. He does his thing talks to the City guy and leaves, doesn’t say jack to me only conversation he had with me was where was a power source, the city guy tells me it’s holding water in a section of my yard, so my main line they installed has a belly in it keeping it from draining properly. So it’s not due to settling and road construction out by the road causing the slope to be off it’s due to sucky installation and now it has a belly in a section keeping it from working properly as the slope is good before and after it. And guess what now Roto Rooter will not return calls. And at no point offering a solution either. Got a solution today and it was I could put a pump in but because I had a bad attitude because of their workmanship and throwing money at a problem they won’t even touch it. At no point in the last 12 months zero recombinations were given to fix or correct the issue."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Schedule regular inspections, fix minor issues promptly, and ensure proper drainage.

An active cleaning agent and a drain snake is the best way to clean a main sewer line. You can purchase a regular or enzyme drain cleaner or make a DIY drain cleaner with baking soda. Use your chosen solution at least once a month or as needed to keep your sewer line clear. 

If you don’t have a sewer cleanout, clearing out clogs can be extremely difficult. You would need to try to clear the clog from sink drains, but it can be harder to reach the clog all the way in the drain line. A sewer cleanout makes it much faster and easier for pros to clear clogs from your main sewer line.

In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.
