"We have an older home with older ductwork. We had Spencer and Brayton out and they cleaned and sealed our ductwork. They did a great job. Professional, great communication, attention to detail. They reduced our air leakage by 86%. We noticed an immediate difference in improved airflow, our cold spots are no longer cold spots. Thanks!"

"He was very thorough and answered my questions about the process of how he was cleaning the drain plumbing.  He determined the plug was a minor one and cleared it out quickly.  We thought he was very thorough and good at performing the job.

"It went great!
They were within line $10 of the estimate.  They were prompt and professional.
We have curved eaves on our house and they took the time to make everything look neat and clean.
They ended up working in our house all day, but you couldn't tell it since they were so clean and picked up after themselves very well.
I will be using them in the future for sure!

"Dillon was a great guy and worked fast and efficient. My house is 50 plus years old and the duct work had never been cleaned. Post the work, the house even smelled better. I am in the middle of a complete remodel and living in the house. I had all 11 vent grilles removed -(saved Dillon a pile of time not having to remove and re-install) and I would have thought a discount would have been in order."

"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."

"Their service manager came to our home on a Saturday and replaced our failed garbage disposal. Job was done professionally. He cleaned up after finishing the removal and installation. There was no added cost for coming on a weekend and the service fee was waived as we were first time customers. Very satisfied."

"I wanted to avoid having several differnet companies come through after purchasing a home.  I went with Sears Home Services because the prices were compatible and the ratings were good.  The A/C units were service on one day and the duct cleaning was performed the next week.  The A/C technician was extremely professional and explained exactly what was being done during each step.  One of the units was slightly overcharged so he recovered a little of it to put it in optimal range. 
The duct cleaning crew was very professional and performed the service fairly quickly.  The A/C duct cleaning was a little expensive but convenient due to having everything done at once.  They did miss a little of the cleanup but it was easily vacuumed.  The dryer vent cleaning was excellent.  I had already known there was a blockage in the pipe and they were very efficient in unblocking it and making sure it was clear.

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Professional plumbers use many high-grade chemicals to unclog drains. Many use hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid, when it comes to extreme blockages. 

Drain pipes carry wastewater from sinks, toilets, showers, and other fixtures to the main sewer line. They’re typically located within the walls and floors and beneath a home’s foundation. Meanwhile, sewer pipes transport collected wastewater to a septic tank or a municipal sewer system.

If the drain pump on your washing machine is continuously draining, it could be that the control board is damaged and requires repair, or there’s a clogged or kinked drain hose. If you can’t locate the problem, you’ll want to have a plumber or appliance repair expert come take a look.

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.

Yes, you can pour water down the toilet to help it flush. For each flush, you’ll need 1 to 2 gallons of water for newer toilets or 3 to 5 gallons of water for older toilets. Rather than dumping the entire bucket in all at once, pour the water in slowly for the best results. If you’re pouring water down the toilet to help it flush after a clog, only use 1 gallon of hot water.
