I booked their advertisement $99 camera clean out special today but when the first tech came he said he didn't have that camera capability and someone else needed to come. Granted, this special is explicitly what I ordered when I booked the appointment. The next guy called a few hours later after he was scheduled to arrive and asked me why I needed the camera option. Red flags started popping up as I tell him it's a clogged 2 inch pvc pipe. He said they don't work on pvc. I said that's impossible because all new homes in the last 40 years use pvc pipe for the kitchens and baths. He said he would have to ask his supervisor then said he couldn't do the job. I wasted half my day for this clown show of a company to give me the run around because they determined my issue wouldn't give them the opportunity to up charge me. Horrible business ethics.

This review replaces a previous review written as the work was nearing completion, after the field supervisor was freed from a larger assignment. With his hands-on leadership, the project was closed out in a few hours, and the county inspector approved the work. It was a rocky road. This three-day project expanded into three weeks. While the initial team started well, the work was slowed by equipment failures, reassigned workers, and poor team communication. The work failed two county inspections due to insufficient management oversight, and was resolved by redoing a lot of the work and tearing up more of our yard. Two sprinkler lines had been broken and improperly repaired. After I spoke with the owner of the company, a senior leader ensured the sprinklers were fixed, and the work area cleaned. The owner and managers are using this experience to further train their staff on their field practices.

The office staff was confused about getting my call scheduled and gave me incorrect information. The owner did call me and after that, communication was great. When the guys came to the house, they did not leave an even concrete floor so when my floor guy came to reinstall the flooring, there is a gap. When I walk on the floor, I can feel exactly where the work was done. Trenchless told me this is how they do it but it's not logical to have a floor significantly lower where the work was done. I expect to have to replace flooring sooner than normal because of the gap the cement layers left. Trenchless tells me it's a flooring problem. Looks like a concrete problem to me.

On the scheduled day and time, Service Technician Steve Hendry arrived. I had been given a call by Whitney about an hour prior to tell me the technician was on his way. She was very helpful and pleasant to speak too. I found Steven to be very professional and knowledgeable not only about what services they provide and how their product works but about the system at my house. He educated me on when and what type of materials were used in my neighborhood. After discussing what I called them about he promptly got to work. He allowed me to watch the camera run down the line on the large video screen. His equipment was hi tech and he explained what he was looking for and what he saw and didn't see. He explained how the line connects to the city system and what areas I am responsible for as a homeowner. It turns out my line had been replaced at some point before I purchased the home and was in pretty good shape. He did see two potential areas of concern and gave me a couple of options on how to repair them. After Steve did his work, I felt confident that I did not have any immediate concerns. There was no charge for running the camera down my line but I felt I got a lot of information that helped me with my concerns. If I decide to address the minor areas he pointed out or if something worse developed, I will definitely hire The Trenchless Co. Now I understand why this company is recommended by so many.

Their bid was so high it was unbelievable. I got someone else who was so much lower. Maybe they have changed. They came after I contacted them and they were very nice. They were thorough and looked at everything. They guy was very professional. They didn't do the job. They also came out to look at cleaning out a sewer line. He was very good and very professional. The job I'm talking about was way too high. The estimate that they gave me was so out of line.

James came punctually. Very knowledgeable, personable, and honest individual. He inspected the pipes with video equipment and discussed the pipe material and what I might look out for in the future. He did not find any leaks.
If I need to have work done in future, I will call Trenchless.

I had my toilets removed to install flooring, and discovered tree roots growing underneath of one of them. I was concerned about the state of the sewer lines. I had heard ads for The Trenchless Co on the radio (and saw the same deal along with good reviews on Angie's list). I called to set up a non-urgent appointment and they gave me a 2 hour window on the morning that I wanted. They called ahead and even arrived a little early (I was still heading back to my house) so they waited for me. The technician was professional and personable. He explained what he was going to do and educated me on my sewer system. He videoed my drain line from the back all the way to the street, showing me the entire system. It turns out that the pipes are fine and clear of roots. Since there was nothing to clear, the inspection was free! He did say that the roots are likely coming from outside of the sewer pipes, between them and the foundation, so he did give me a quote for reworking the concrete around the toilet. I was very pleased with the time they took to do the inspection even tho they did not get a bigger job that day.

Response from The Trenchless Co

"Dear Mr. [Member Name Removed] Thank you for the great review and feedback on our services. I'm glad you heard us on the radio and tried us out for our free video inspection and diagnostics for repair or replacement if needed. I'm glad to hear that there wasn't a larger issue with your sewer line - that is always the best outcome. One of the reasons we don't charge for estimates and camera inspections is we would hate to charge someone when they don't have a need - so it's nice to know that you appreciate our company values and focus on customer service. Thanks again for choosing The Trenchless Co. and taking the time to share your experience. Sincerely, Max Greenberg Owner - The Trenchless Co."

We had a clogged drain outside our home. It was causing a major mess. I checked Angie's list and decided to call The Trenchless Co. The person who answered the phone was pleasant and understood my problem. She had a repair man (Laird) out within 45 minutes. Laird diagnosed the problem and worked tirelessly in some pretty unpleasant stuff to fix the problem. In addition to his competence, he was pleasant and patient. This company seems to be customer friendly and hires great people.

Rarely have I found another who values business relationships and wants to work "things" through.  No one is perfect, no one is 100% all of the time and knowing this and wanting to be the Best One Can Be---is remarkable to this consumer and I THANK YOU!   Max, the owner, contacted me and made it known he was concerned and cared.  He wanted to make things right. He wanted my business and my referrals and he will get them!   I have found a plumber who deserves every bit of success the world may provide.  Exemplary business ethics and communication skills.     If ever, another has concerns, or if others want to contact me---I am not related and I will share my experience..  I am a consumer whose faith in businesses has been restored.   Thank you !  May I encounter more like YOU!!!!
