It went great. They were able to see us the next day after we called. They came promptly, fixed the problem (as much as it could be fixed without removing the new toilet we'd just installed), and did a rapid and very neat job. Nice guy, too! (and he told us something about using both our old and new toilets that we never knew! Holding down the handle vs. just tapping the handle, depending on the flushing need. He also recommended the least clog-worthy toilet paper -- Angel Soft). A very positive experience all around.

We were absolutely thrilled with the service we received! Service Technician, James White gave us a 20 minute call ahead and arrived earlier than the estimated time given by dispatch. He cleared the toilet clog and replaced the water fill valve with efficiency and professionalism. We were impressed by his knowledge, friendliness and strong work ethic. Thanks again for such excellent service!!

I woke up this morning and discovered that my entire first floor was flooded due to an obstruction in my main drain line out from the house to the city connection. I called a couple of other services who offered to come to my house the next day or at the end of the day. Due to the urgency, I kept calling other services and discovered Affordable Drain Service. Chris (dispatch) was quick to answer the phone, asked what my needs were and gave me a service window that was within a couple of hours from my call. Within an hour or so of my initial call, I received an update call from Chris on when I should expect a call from the Technician that was finishing up a job near my house. Soon after that call, I received a call from Mathew who was in-route to my house and gave me a 20 minute window on his estimated arrival time. He showed up on time and immediately got to work. He reviewed everything that took place and concluded that the main drain line was likely the problem. Mathew's equipment and tools were organized and modern. He explained everything he was doing throughout the entire process which I appreciated. The drain cleared and he completed the process by using the snake router along with a strong water stream from a hose a few more times to make sure there was no further obstruction in the line. Mathew was professional, confident, on time and certainly knew what he was doing. It was clear to me that he enjoys his job and takes pride in his work. Communication from Chris at the dispatch office as well as Mathew was exemplary and very much appreciated given that I was desperate for help at the time. The value for the service I experienced as excellent! I would definitely recommend using this company for drain service.

Everything went great! Dispatch was able to schedule us for a same day evening appointment. Service professionals, Ryan Kiernan and Robert Verdugo, arrived promptly after giving us a 15 minute call ahead. They were knowledgeable and did a fantastic job! They unclogged the drain quickly for a fair price and I was seriously grateful. We will use them again in the future.

Work went very well. The clean-out for these two bathrooms was not usable so he had to remove both toilets in order to deal with the blockage from both sides. Work went fairly quickly and when he was done the toilets looked as if they'd never been moved and both bathrooms were spotlessly clean. Great job!

Ryan utilized the cleanout closest to the kitchen and cleared the line of suspected roots, repeating several times, to the main. He then tested it and it was and is draining well. He informed me that he suspected roots; He cleaned up thoroughly after the job. Ryan was very helpful and informative and knows his job well. I used my Angie's list coupon and the price was very reasonable. I have 3 cleanouts in my home, and need the camera at a later date (after tree removal). Will definitely give Affordable Plumbing another call in the future.
Response from Affordable Drain Service Inc
"Hi [Member Name Removed], Thank you for the review...we really appreciate the responses. Roots can brake the pipe, however, MANY times the roots can just be managed with preventive hydro jetting or cabling. If you have a known problem with roots, you want to stay ahead of the game and clean them out periodically before they clog the line. (I have been cleaning the roots from my father home for 18 years now) When you are ready, we will be happy to help you in putting a program together to meet your specific needs. We can do as mush or as little as you like, with no pressure. Thank you again for the review! D."

I loved them. I was very pleased. They were great at calling me back. They arranged for Jonathan to come out the same day. I know I thought it was extremely affordable. There was an service charge. It wasn't exorbitant. Most people were already scheduled. I think there was something happening. Maybe an storm. There were a lot of demand for plumbing services. They stepped up to the plate. I was exceedingly happy. He wasn't here long, and he took care of the problem. He knew I was an happy camper when he drove away. I told him that I would write an recommendation. I am coming late to the party. I meant to give an shout out to them. They totally stepped up to the plate. I know they were doing their best to get somebody there as soon as possible. Seems to me he even put on booties, and it wasn't even raining. I was pleased. They came on an weekend. I called and had to leave message. I put four to five other calls. He was one of two that responded at all. They were the only company that was able to come, and did come. It was an weekend, it was the same day.

Had it handled in 25 minutes. The minimum charge I was quoted $112 was the final price.

The work was done quickly and effectively. I down graded their professionalism only because the two fellows both felt it was a good time to use my bathroom. I suppose that I could have denied them that privilege, but I just could not bring myself to doing that.

Our downstairs toilet was severely backing up and plumbers helper repeatedly applied would not do the job. Sewer line even started backing up into the shower well in that bathroom, at which point I knew the problem was beyond the toilet. The shower well had an inch or more of very sticky sewage backed up into it. I called Affordable Drain Service and relayed the problem to them. They said they could have someone at our home in about one to three hours and they would call before arriving. I was called twice. Once was to let me know that someone would be on the way to my home in about 15 minutes. About a half hour alter, I received a call from Seth who said he would be at my home in about 15-20 minutes. Seth arrived about 2:00 p.m. and after hearing my story and assessing the situation went to work. He snaked the main line to no avail. He then removed the bathroom shower drain cover and placed about 55 feet of snake into the sewer line. That cleared the line and he went about cleaning up, especially the very stinky shower well. He was very courteous, friendly and knowledgeable about what needed to be done. He was here approximately one hour. I cannot complement Seth highly enough for a job well done. I would highly recommend this firm given my experience with them.

I have used this company for seven years at two different residences. As a side note, I had another company come out to our previous home and was told they would need to break through a wall connecting the two bathrooms for a charge of over $900! I contacted Affordable. They sent someone out immediately and he discovered that the master bathroom toilet was almost completely blocked with roots. After clearing the drain I never had another problem at that residence. I needed their services again a few weeks ago at our current home. In less than 20 minutes the problem was solved. They have always responded quickly and their rates are lower than most. Even with such low rates their work is exemplary. In my experience every tech they've sent has been super friendly, honest and fair, which is really important to me. I also appreciate that they come all the way down here to the So. Bay. I will continue to use Affordable Drain and highly recommend them to friends and family.
