"Always late or never turned up, he gave every excuse under the sun. Workmanship was very poor, he always left a mess that we ended up cleaning up afterwards. Still not finished the job after 4 months and we ended up hiring someone else to finish and redo the poor remodel and trim."

"Back in 2021 we had D&R come out to fix a main water break. We had to pay $4000 upfront deposit (which we were fine with) as the whole estimate was around 6,000. Come day of repair Richard told us he replaced the pipe from the meter to the house connection. He came in and charged us $5,588.00 MORE. What are we going to do? Not pay him? He also told us that due to our yard being left in complete disarray he would send a sub contractor he uses to flatten our yard back out once the dirt and sand settled. That way we could start planting grass seed and get our yard back to the way he found it. NEVER HAPPENED. We still have hills and valleys in our front yard. Fast forward to this past weekend 7/27, our main water line burst again. Instantly called Richard and was given high estimates to fix. After the last time I was skeptical but it was obvious he didn't want to help. I understand warranty and the pipe was no longer covered. We dug the hole ourselves to avoid the 2500 he quoted us over the phone to dig by hand and had another plumber come to find out D&R did not replace the hose to the connection at the house like we were charged for, instead he hooked up the black farmer pipe that was a couple feet from the house connection. (I still have the receipt) Every plumber we have spoken to since says we were completely taken advantage of and the cost of the original repair should not have exceeded $5,000. Complete extortion of the situation. So here we are not even 2.5 years later paying to fix the issue D&R made us pay for. I can not in good conscience recommend this company. We are STILL paying for this repair, and have more on top of it now that it has broke again."

"Mr Rooter showed up and spent 3 hours augering on our kitchen sink drain that was draining very slow. The tech gave up and started instructing me to find where the drain line ran in the basement and start cutting inspection holes in the drywall ceiling and walls to cut into pipe in the basement. Left with sinks in kitchen both full and drain was then completely plugged. Charged me $320 to make my problem worse. I called Kruser Septic the next day. They showed up and used a small jet and within 45 minutes the drain was running free and junk was completely blown out of the pipe. Total bill was $180 with 2 service techs on site."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Professionals use augers, hydrojetting equipment, and cameras for precise clearing and inspection.

Your sewer pro will take about an hour to complete your sewer line camera inspection. However, if your home does not have cleanout access and the pro needs to remove the toilet to access the sewer line, the time to completion will take longer. Note that this estimated time does not include the time for repair, drain cleaning, or any other services you may need. 

If you’ll be digging up your floor to get access to your pipes when putting in a sewer backflow preventer, this would also be a good time to take care of any other plumbing issues or renovations. For example, you could install additional pipes for a basement bathroom. Since the floor will be sealed over with concrete when you’re done, now’s a good time to take care of those bigger tasks.

Some experts estimate that descaling your cast iron pipes can extend their lifetime by upwards of 50 years, although there’s not a lot of research to prove it. But we do know that without proper maintenance, cast iron pipes can quickly rust—leading to more expensive issues like burst pipes or main line clogs.

In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.
