Plotke Plumbing would come out every year and snake out the roots in the main line. This year they had a hard time breaking through, so I decided to have the camera run down the length of the pipe. Roots were entering the seams of the clay pipe. Giovanni did the camera inspection, which I watched while the camera went down the line. He gave me an estimate on using a combination of pipe bursting and reline. Only 2 holes were dug and no trenching. He indicated the job would take 3 days, and offered to start a few days later, since there was no backup or emergency. I have used Plotke Plumbing on big and small jobs for many years. I trust the owners and decided to go forward. The crew showed up right on time, spent the first day doing the excavation, second and third day installing the new pipe and cleaning up. I got to see the completed job by the camera that was inserted in the line for me. I think they did a good job, showed up on time, did what they said they would do and delivered the finished job at the agreed price. Nobody likes to hear that they need a big plumbing job for their home. Plotke Red Lilly works around my neighborhood all the time. They would not be in business this long if they were not doing a good work and providing good customer service.

I was referred to Express Jetting by the plumber friend of an employee of mine who doesn't normally do sewer line work. I called Phil Aleman of Express Jetting in the morning and he was out to my house by the early afternoon. The original quoted fee was $225 to run a camera through and then hydrojet the sewer line, but the cost quickly shot up to $1,250 when it was apparent that 1) my sewer line had tree roots entering it at many pipe junction points and 2) the length of the sewer line was over 180 feet from my house to the street. My wife had called a few other companies earlier in the day to get some idea of what it might cost to have this work done, but only one was willing to quote us a price ($180 for the first 80 feet, then $0.65 for each additional foot of hydrojetting; this did not include a camera analysis which some companies were advertising as being free but at the same time were not quoting a price for the work). I was shocked by the $1,250 bid for the work but since this was an emergency I felt I didn't have much time or choice at that point so I went with it. The alternatives would have been to 1) just hydrojet the line (no guaranteed roots cut), which probably would have lasted me 6 months to a year of clog-free operation (but I really didn't want to be "on watch" the entire time thinking that the roots were still there and a backup could happen at any moment) or 2) have a plastic liner put in the pipe from the house to the street (which Phil quoted me would cost $8,500). 5 hours later the work was complete and seeing how much was involved with it, I didn't feel as bad about the price (though I'm still stinging from writing the check; $250 an hour is a pretty high rate of pay). This is dirty, stinky, tiring, often frustrating work that even with my level of home improvement skill I felt was better left to the professionals. (Once I had a chance to breathe after this entire experience, I found that some companies offer the service for less - one was half the price! - but remember, you don't always get what you pay for, whether you're paying a higher price or a lower one. The true value of the job is in the workmanship and how well the company stands behind it.) Aside from the high price, the only other thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the fact that so much of my water was used for the job (I estimate 500 gallons - 200 to run through the line to try to unstick the rooter which got hung up on something about 200 feet into the line, and 300 to refill their hydrojet tank, which I didn't think was very fair, especially given that I'm in the top-tier payment schedule for my water company). At any rate, the work was done, the line cleared (as far as I know; I wasn't given a DVD of the cleared line like some companies give), my toilets flush, and I have a 1-year warranty that no clogs will occur due to tree roots. If I wasn't so under-the-gun with this emergency plumbing situation, I would have taken more time as I usually do and researched other companies more thoroughly - including Express Jetting for whom after the fact I found no reviews and no license info through the state (normally not a good sign in my book) - but sometimes you just have to make an on-the-spot decision and live with it, and that's what I did. (NOTE: Phil recommended adding RootX in 6 months to kill any roots that have since grown into the pipe and said that this should keep the line root-free for some time. For appx. $30 a jar, that's a BIG savings over having to re-hydrojet or re-line the sewer pipe...I just have to remember to do it!)

From the beginning they were courteous, professional, well-mannered, intelligent, and communicative.My sewer line backed up at night (as these things always do), leaving me without even the ability to run the faucets, let alone use the bathroom. I called that evening (they have on-call plumbers for cases like these) and they were at my house first thing in the morning to fix it. After a video inspection of the line and an examination of the pipes (from under my very shallow, awkward craw-space) they determined that my original clay sewer pipes were the victims of massive root-intrusion. The immediately began digging down to get to the pipe so that they could cut out and replace the blocked section. The pipe turned out to travel much deeper underground than any of us expected, but they just fetched some more equipment and kept on digging. By the next day (a Saturday mind you), around eight feet of digging later, they reached the pipe and were able to open up a section for continued video inspection beyond the root intrusion. What they found was that they clay pipe had also cracked at the point where it met up with the city line, shifting it out of alignment. This is bad. The only options are to start digging up the street to replace the entire pipe all the way to the city line (which involves the city -- enough said), or use a technique to reline the interior of the pipe with a fiberglass shell (which essentially creates a new pipe without any more digging). I chose the fiberglass. By the end of the day (again, a Saturday) they had scheduled a pipe-lining contractor to start work first thing Monday morning. By mid-day Monday the fiberglass was pumped into place, and a few hours later we had a fully functional sewer line with a 50 year warranty. The whole job took several days, but Jeremy and Fabian made sure I was never without water or a toilet for more than a few hours. Though they spent most of their time digging in they dirt, they showed up each day in clean uniforms with a very pleasant demeanor, worked hard with no complaints, and safely secured the worksite before leaving each day. They even managed to preserve the foliage that covered the dig site. Thanks again guys!I have used Ford's for all my plumbing needs since I bought the house eight years ago.

"These people are competent but their ethics are highly questionable. I posted a job description on yelp and tendered offers from many plumbers John's Plumbing replied and agreed to do the work for a specified price. The work consisted of two parts. After they had done the first, they told me it was best to wait until the bathroom wall was tiled before doing the second and assured me they would return. After tiling was complete and I requested they come and finish the work they surprisingly told me it would cost another $500. Miscommunications can of course occur but in this case the scope of work was given to them in detail and clearly included both parts. This is not only highly unprofessional but outright dishonest. While they may be competent I would advise people to consider choosing another company for their plumbing needs that has a higher ethical standard."

I posted a job description on yelp and tendered offers from many plumbers John's Plumbing replied and agreed to do the work for a specified price. The work consisted of two parts. After they had done the first, they told me it was best to wait until the bathroom wall was tiled before doing the second and assured me they would return. After tiling was complete and I requested they come and finish the work they surprisingly told me it would cost another $500. Miscommunications can of course occur but in this case the scope of work was given to them in detail and clearly included both parts. This is not only highly unprofessional but outright dishonest. While they may be competent I would advise people to consider choosing another company for their plumbing needs that has a higher ethical standard."

You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
