"Northshore was a fantastic company to work with. From the start, Cesar and Andre in the office were both very helpful. We got a schedule that suited our needs, and on the first day of service, the crew showed up right on time. The plumbers, Emiliano and Marcelino, were both terrific. They carefully explained the job and were super friendly and efficient. And we could not be happier with the quality of work, the results, and the very fair price! Our water pressure is vastly improved now. I would highly recommend Northshore."

"Worst tile job I have ever seen!! Cal recommended marble for the kitchen floor which is the worst kind of tile for a kitchen it stains scratched and it high maintenance. also the tile is uneven it has chips because it looks like the spacers where broken off. they installed a backsplash with beveled edges and put so much grout that you couldn't even see the beveled edges it took me 2 days to scrap out all the grout. They also had to come out twice to fix the strainer in the kitchen sink!! They installed a new tiled shower and those tiles are also uneven also the shower floor puddles in the center. I asked them to frame out the mirrors in both my bathrooms and they screwed that up but I ended up paying for the oak trim and ended up cleaning up after them. I have reached out to Cal several times and at first he told me he would come and talk to me about the kitchen floor and now he won't even respond to my text messages."

J Hughes Plumbing and General Contracting Services
"I submitted my request at 10PM in a Saturday, he called me that night to make sure it wasn’t an emergency. He gave me a quote over the phone and showed up on Monday earlier than stated since the drive was not as far as he expected. The heater was replaced in 2.5 hours, the bill was paid. I was in the process of remodeling my bathroom and had asked about super slow leaks on the plumbing in the bathroom. He took care of that while he was here, I would absolutely hire Joe again for all plumbing needs,"

The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.
There are a few signs of a clog in your main sewer line that you should keep in mind.
Common signs of a sewer line clog:
Multiple fixtures in your home drain slowly
Drains in your home gurgle during or after draining
Water backs up into your sewer line cleanout
You notice foul odors in your home
The best way to confirm that your main sewer line is clogged is to hire a professional plumber to assess the situation and use a camera to inspect the inside.
In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.
You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
