"Fast - done in 24 hours. Repaired correctly. Unfortunately learned in retrospect that Charging $529 to saw into a wall, replace a pipe secured by a wing-nut. Will call again for an emergency. Otherwise, this does not represent a good value."

"He explained what had to be done, came back the next day and completed the project in a professional manner, I recommend pro to complete your plumbing needs."
"Our old diverter just was stuck in the "shower" position. Eric went and got the parts but had to go back to the hardware store to return and get the correct part. We never was given the receipt for the parts. Eric did show me the receipt but I didn't have my glasses on and he took the receipt with him when he left. The one part of the replacment didn't fit, so he just put the old part back on and took (the part that he said didn't fit) with him. When he was asked to return because the spout/diverter was was leaking he did come right back. However the problem of leaking is still happening and it wasn't leaking before his service call. So we're a little disappointed with that. His solution is to make the pipe longer (spend more money) but the pipe was fine with the old spout/diverter. Our old diverter just was stuck in the "shower" position. He's a nice young man but I think he's inexperienced. And he should take a job out of his normal area if he's going to complain about have to come back to fix his work. He complained it cost him $40 in gas. Sorry kiddo, I told him our address and he could have said it was too far. So in that respect he's a little immature."
"Excellent Service from planning through Execution and installation to final fine tuning. The folks communicated well and explained every detail of the step. Got permit and inspection done. It was seamless. Thanks. R."
"This is the second time I used this company. And both times by stuff was moved carefully and quickly. I recommend this company to my and my sister use their service and she had nothing but good things to say."
"The service went well. They were able to clean the parts of the home I needed cleaned within the 4 hour time frame. Two people came out for the service and brought their own cleaning supplies. The vacuum they did use did not clean the rugs very well. They did have to come out quite a way to get to me so I would not hire them again because of how much the travel fee would be. They did fine work and I had no problem scheduling the service."
Drain Pipe Installation questions, answered by experts
Even if the shower drain doesn’t seem clogged or dirty, plan to clean it out about once per month—or more frequently if you or your family shed a lot of hair. It’s a good practice to remove any hair from the drain on a daily basis, as hair can accumulate fast and cause clogs in no time. You may also want to have a plumber thoroughly clean the drains in your home once every six months.
Costs depend on clog severity, pipe condition, equipment required, and labor.
Drain pipes carry wastewater from sinks, toilets, showers, and other fixtures to the main sewer line. They’re typically located within the walls and floors and beneath a home’s foundation. Meanwhile, sewer pipes transport collected wastewater to a septic tank or a municipal sewer system.
Inspect regularly for clogs, clean drain lines, and ensure grading directs water away from the foundation.
If methods like hot water or a plunger don’t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you’re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.
