These young men worked for several hours trying to clear the blockage, being partly successful. I thought they had the drain clear but they explained it was still backing up, that the clog was just further down the drain so took longer to notice that it wasn't draining correctly. We made plans for him to come back the next morning with his machine that would knock out the clog.
They arrived first thing the next morning and got to work. He used a camera in the pipe and found a huge clog in the larger pipe the other pipes in our home lead to. It was a bear but they worked on it until it was clear.
I believe that many other workers would have given up and had us just replace the pipe (at a much higher cost to us) but his perseverance saved us many dollars.
We'll be using him in the future to replace the toilets and a couple of other jobs.
Honest, thorough and friendly. Fair price too!
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.
3. They were prompt and courteous.
- went well, came on time and finished as expected. probably better for larger plumbing jobs. including water heater installation will call him when I need a new water heater, toilet tuneup was really a good price for a plumber , but essentially an opportunity for this firm to introduce itself.
