Dennis and Eric arrived very promptly, cleared the clog, and showed me the condition of the inside of my cast iron sewer pipes with their drain camera. They also scraped some jagged rust from the pipe that was helping to cause the clogs and gave me excellent advice on how to avoid the problem in the future. It was reassuring to be able to actually see the condition of my pipes, and to know that there was not a more serious problem under my home. They offer very thorough, professional friendly service at a more than reasonable price. It would have cost me significantly more just to rent a drain camera. Don't waste your time trying to fix it yourself, just call these guys.I give them my highest recommendation! Thanks again, guys!

The BAD
1, They spilled water onto the floors around all the toilets and in the garage at the Hot water tank and made no clean uo attempts.
2 They opened my outside hose line to drain the pipes and NEVER turned it off. I found the hose running 4 hours later.
3. They turned off the breaker for the Hot water heater and never turn it back on. After a day and a half of cold showers, I called them and they stated they would come out and check it. I turned the breaker back on myself. (I should have thought to check it earlier)
4. Partly my fault that they failed to realize that the actual problem with the toilets was the water pressure. Their work, new pipes ect. and my $183 for unneeded repairs.
The GOOD
1. Due to the blockage concerns I was happy that they used a shop vac to suck the water from the pipes.
2. They didn't charge me for the Hot water tank (they were unable to drain) after they ran into a problem when trying to drain the Hot water tank and found that I had a water pressure problem.
Mr Zee did an excellent job in repairing sofit where the wood had rotted and installing a drain. He was courteous, prompt and did an outstanding job. I will definitely hire him again.

Service representative was very cordial. The service for the first and second visit was prompt but incomplete. Their online presence seems to be efficient and responsive. In terms of a definitive repair, that has not been reached. In the first visit, water was run down the drain for about...

The name on my invoice is Pro-Team plumbing not The Drain Team.
Better Homes initially cleaned a blocked drain line, but unfortunately this did not fix the problem. Two weeks later, the ice buildup had returned. They ordered the part prior to the repair and returned to install it. The repair solved the problem. They were prompt and very professional.

I'm a do-it-yourself kinda guy, with a fair bit of plumbing experience. However, I was unsuccessful trying to clear my own clog, including pulling both toilets and using a 1/2" x 50' manual auger. I was reluctant to call a professional due to concern about high prices, upcharges, and my...

"Initial visit was not good. Jose was condescending and not understanding the situation. Second visit included the branch manager. While they spent a lot of time, I was quoted $1700+ to “fix” the issue. Turns out Jose misdiagnosed the bathroom venting problem. Said venting never went anywhere and needed to cap it off in the attic. While I am not a plumber, I saw the situation- pipes had come apart from the junctions. No investigation- it was completely apparent. So either incompetent or fraudulent, do NOT use this company."

"Frank Smith missed our appointment to fix blocked drains. He did not reply to numerous voicemails or texts. Finally he contacted me saying he forgot. When he did visit, he did not bring the right tools but spent 2 hours to show he was trying to fix the drains . He kept asking me if I had one part or another that he could borrow. Why would I have spare parts that a plumber uses? Without the right tools the visit was useless except he charged me for his time. As he did not have the right tools the first visit, he told me he had to come back the next day. The 2nd visit he brought a helper but still did not bring the right tools so would need to come back a 3rd time with the right tools. For 9 hours of his time @ $100 per hour and 2 helpers that werent' needed at $20 an hour, according to him, he ended up charging me $1,600. The $100 per hour is not unreasonable but padding out time and wasting time and visits because unprepared is ********. This man is an unprofessional con man."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts
No, you should not see water in a sewer cleanout. If you do, it could indicate that you have a block or leak in your main sewer line—which can cause sewage to back up inside your home and potentially flood your yard. Your best bet is to call a local sewer cleaner if you notice any water or sewage around your cleanout.
Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There’s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don’t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same 18- to 22-month schedule), but it’s not always necessary.
While you don’t have to run out and immediately buy a new toilet at the first sign of a clog, if the toilet keeps clogging because it’s a low-flow or poorly designed model, a new toilet may be the way to go. If your toilet keeps clogging, you can try using less toilet paper, adjusting the fill valve, checking the toilet vent pipe on the roof, and using a toilet auger to make sure nothing is stuck in the pipe or trap.
An AC drip pan may stop draining if there’s a clog where the drip pan connects to the drain line. Clogs can form from a lack of cleaning or from rust or corrosion buildup. Cleaning the drip pan at least once per month lowers the chances of debris clogging the drain line.
Most clogs are resolved quickly, often within an hour. More complex issues requiring pipe disassembly might take longer.
