Description of Work
Had a shower leaking from the second story to the first. At first it seemed that it was a drain problem but it turned out to be a faulty faucet that was leaking behind the shower. Problem was correctly diagnosed and fixed.

They have not been timely, it is 3.5 hours later and I am still waiting. They have called and said they are sorry but that does not fix my issue.

The pipe did get cleaned and rootered out. The plumber left a smelly and amazing mess, which he covered with my white bathroom rug. The sink, that was only glued to the underside of the counter came unattached. He charged an additional $40 to resecure it, and it did not get done.... That is why I joined Angie's List, to find someone to repair the damage.

Sal came and had a good look told me he could fix it, but it was really in need of re-seating and by the time you do that with Labor and and supplies, he and I felt it needed a new toilet..I aleady knew this but I was putting it off, I had such faith in his abilities that I decided to go with it.

Called for emergency kitchen drain plugged from move out tenants. Dishwasher turned on and water shot out from overflow valve. Lady promised technician would show up within hour. "Javier" came, very professional and it took him approx 1 hour to clean out drain. Clogged with grease and food from tenants. Javier said dishwasher was backing up out of over flow valve. Excellent service. Would definitely recommend them and use them in future. Thank you Javier!

Overall, he was in and out in about an hour, that is quick work, he did not hang around..knew what he was doing and just got right into it, he cleaned up after himself and left me feeling very confident that the problem was sorted.
Description of Work
We had a terrible odor eminating from the master bathroom, I couldn't decide if it was the shower drain or the sink drain. I called out Drain Patrol and the service was wonderful, within a few minutes of Don's arrival, he knew the problem was the sink, he took the pipes apart and cleaned it out, it was not a pretty sight, he informed me that this where the odor was coming from but I asked him to clean out the shower drain too, which he did. Don left me with a de-greaser and instructions on what I should do with it for the next week or so, I feel very confident that is the end of the issue. I will use this company again should I need to.

Kitchen sink backed up around 6pm on a Monday. I called around 7p they sowed up around 8:30p, about 30mins later than quoted. However, he did a good job and I would probably use them again for drain service. He did a very good job of cleaning up afterwards. They would not give a quote over the phone. They insisted that the estimate would not be given until the tech was on site. I would have preferred an estimate before they came.

Beat my expectations.
Description of Work
Clog drain. Normally this would have taken an hour clear, but the clogged was solid and Drain Patrol stayed on the job well past an hour. Even a supervisor came by to assist, as this turned out to be more than a normal clogged drain. Definitely would use this company again.

I called about 4 other companies and none of them except Drain Patrol works on sump pumps. I called around 3pm and Arnold showed up at 4pm to give me a free estimate. He wanted to check the breaker switch and I had the key to the utility closet so I came home 30 minutes later and he looked at the breaker and said that wasn't the problem. Then he was going to charge me $165 to drain the water and check out the sump pump. Since this was an emergency situation and I couldn't find any other companies that worked on sump pumps, I told him to go ahead. After draining the water, he looked at the sump pump and said that it needed replacing. By this time it was around 7pm so I decided to just have him come by the next morning and replace it. Two days later, we had another torrential downpour and he called me to follow up and make sure the sump pump was working properly.
Description of Work
Our sump pump, which is under the carport, wasn't working during the recent rains and the water in the carport area was starting to flood. He charged me $165 to drain the water so that he could look at the sump pump and when he realized it was wasn't working, we ended up getting a new sump pump which he installed the next day for a total charge of $702.

Our exterior drain was clogged and producing a large puddle due to the recent rains. When I called Drain Patrol I was expecting to make an appointment for the following week. I was told that they have a 60 minute window and someone would be here to give us a free estimate. I was blown away when indeed Steve showed up 47 minutes later, gave me a reasonable estimate and then performed the work to my great satisfaction. He was able to remove the small drain cover intact even though it was in concrete and continued to work beyond the allotted 1 hr. he had given as a time frame, to make sure the drain and other connecting drains were clear. He never asked anything more than the original estimate and he kept working until he was satisfied the job was satisfactory, even removing some roots that he felt were contributing to the clog.
Description of Work
We have a concrete area in our backyard with drains leading to the curb in the street. One drain formed a large puddle from being backed up and we assumed it was because the gardener tends to blow dirt and debris in that direction. After the estimate was approved, Steve removed the drain cover and brought in a long cable type machine and began to clean the drain. When he discovered roots he took a tool and began to break up the roots and remove them. He then ran water through it with a hose and made sure the water was reaching the curb. Most workers would have stopped there; after all, it was fixed. But he continued running the cable further and further so it unclogged anything up the line and worked another hour or hour and a half even after knowing the water was running through. I was very impressed. See my further comments about the time frame, too; a most unusual company and employee. I wish more were like that.

I saved a ton of money working with this company. They were also very persistent with the work that they did. It only took them one hour to fix the problem. I would not hesitate calling them again if I need them in the future.

They had to run cameras down underneath the ground and found that the problem was close to my fireplace. Then they used a jack hammer to dig up the area and it took about 3 weeks. After my insurance company and the state inspected everything they laid new concrete. The cost included help from my insurance company who only helped with the inside of my home, but I paid close to $1000 out of my own pocket. Drain Patrol did excellent work and I'd use them again and recommend them to others!

The plumber was on time for the first visit and 3 hours late on the second visit. The plumber was polite. The price was a bit high but OK. The plumber came down about $100 from the first price he quoted. Between the first and second visits, we were away from home for four weeks. The drain clogged a second time after being used less than two weeks. The plumber's dirty shoes left dirty spots on our kitchen rug. The plumber was satisfied that the cable cleared the clog after the first visit and the high water pressure needed to clear the clog during the second visit proved him wrong. Also he wasn't aware of which end of the hose to use to connect with the water pressure drain clearing tool. The second visit was under a 90 day warranty, however the plumber wrote on the no charge invoice for the second visit ''Next time I will charge.'', voiding the 90 day warranty. I would never use these people again.
Description of Work
Cabled clogs in main line, kitchen sink & bathroom sink on 7/3/06. Returned on 8/9/06 to clear clogged kitchen sink drain, cabled the kitchen sink drain again and then, at my request, used a water pressure tool to finally clear the drain clog.

This was the worst company I have ever used. They did very bad work and it took them three days. It was the biggest mess ever, and they were not very experienced. They left a hole so big in the back yard we had to use a ladder to get into it. I would never hire this company again. The work was of extremely poor quality.
