He had everything fixed in no time and even cleaned up! He took time to show me how it would work before he quit and offered to fix it a different way if I needed him to. I will be calling back when I need a plumber.

"Called to have my septic pumped. First impression was good but I feel I was mislead on the cost. Quoted $450 for septic to be pumped. Told I would be informed of any additional cost before work was done. When he uncovered the septic, I was told the lid was broken and the septic would need to be replaced. We agreed to $6000 with risers and what I thought was septic pumped?the original job he was called to do. I was informed I had to pay 1/2 today and other half when job completed. Then I was asked if i was going to pay the company that was pumping the tank. What? I called him to pump it. Makes me question if he broke my lid so he could put a new septic in. Again I thought why would he ask that when that was what I called him to do. That afternoon I was called and told it would be another $500 for risers. When job was done he tells me my remaining balance is $3950?.not what we initially discussed for the $6000 after paying 1/2 at $3000. Why was I asked to pay another company $450? "

"Initially it went well and they were responsive. Came out same day as my request but it was the end of the day and they didn't fully finish clearing the drain and when I called for them to return they let me know they don't guarantee drain and clogging services and I would have to pay again. Not what I had hoped for since they didn't fix it the first time. They didn't follow any sort of social distancing, wearing of gloves, etc. even when dealing with us with Covid going on."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Baking soda and vinegar is a great solution for cleaning your sink drain; in fact, it’s our preferred method. Here’s how to unclog your drain with baking soda and vinegar: Pour in a half cup of baking soda, then 1 cup of white vinegar, and let the two bubble for 15 minutes. Then rinse out with boiling water. This method is much safer than using a chemical drain cleaner gel.

A clogged air gap can cause a dishwasher not to drain. There are, however, other potential issues that can lead to improper drainage. For example, if you have attached the air gap to a garbage disposal and forgotten to remove the knockout plug, wastewater may backflow into the dishwasher. Check that the air gap is installed properly, and then look for clogs in the air gap and dishwasher filters.

To get rid of a sewer smell in your crawl space, you’ll have to find the source of the problem. If it has to do with your sewer lines, then repairing the line will help. You may need to make other repairs, like fixing your sump pump or encapsulating your crawl space to reduce moisture. After you make the repair, depending on the issue, you may still need to clean out your crawl space to get rid of the stink.

If your dishwasher keeps filling with water at the bottom but doesn’t fill into the sink, the issue is likely due to a blockage within the dishwasher or drain. Regularly clean your dishwasher filter basket to ensure it’s not clogged with food, and run a vinegar rinse periodically if you have hard water to remove limescale buildup.

Just as frozen pipes can cause a blocked sink that won’t drain, frozen toilet pipes can block water from flushing down the drain pipe and prevent the tank from refilling, depending on which lines are frozen. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can fill the toilet tank or bowl with warm water and flush, allowing the water to thaw the pipe as it rushes through.
