"In December of 2019 I noticed a drain in my basement was backing up (water) and called Service Now. When the technician arrived I described the conditions of the clogged drain and he determined it was the main sewer line. He stated that a clean out valve had to be installed (at a cost of $574) to run a snake through the line. I agreed and shortly thereafter he announced he could not clear the sewer line and that another crew was needed to "jet" my sewer (at a cost of $800). I agreed and the following day two technicians arrived and stated they would run a camera through the sewer line to determine the blockage. Shortly thereafter one of the technicians produced a video showing cracks and some broken pipe fragments (but no blockage) in a section of the main sewer line. They recommended that I have the broken sections of pipe replaced (at a cost of $3600). They then proceeded to jet the sewer line and announced that the clog in the sewer had been removed. That evening (after the second Service Now crew had left) I noticed that the drain in the basement was still backing up, so on the following day when the Service Now service writer arrived to discuss the sewer line replacement, I mentioned that the drain was still backed up and he replied that "they would look at that when they came out to replace the sewer pipe". I then began to think Service Now was defrauding me and contacted another plumbing company. When they arrived a couple of days later they determined that the drain from the kitchen was clogged and had to be snaked to clear it (at a cost of $128). I agreed and the other plumbers successfully cleared the drain. I have since contacted Service Now three times (once on a three way call with my credit card company) and each time I was assured a manager would call back, and 10 months later I'm still waiting."

"As a small business owner, I strongly caution others against this HVAC/R company. In over 10 years, they?ve been the least trustworthy and poorest performing contractor I?ve worked with. We experienced repeated service issues, a 25% rate hike without notice, ignored emails, and unreturned quote requests. Worse, we were billed for work that wasn?t done?confirmed twice, including by a third-party inspection with photos. Even when confronted, they deflected and delayed for months. We had to hire another company. They also mis-sized a walk-in freezer due to bad measurements and blamed their supplier. When shown proof it was undersized, they argued with no solution. They later mismeasured again on a replacement bid. Their attitude throughout was defensive, unprofessional, and dismissive. If something goes wrong?and it likely will?they will not stand behind their work. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Most blockages can be cleared in 1-3 hours, but severe issues may take longer.

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.

You could be smelling sewer gas in your kitchen because of a dry P-trap, clogged vent pipe, or leaking plumbing seals. If you smell a rotten egg odor, check your sink’s P-trap and plumbing connections first. A clogged or damaged vent pipe can trap sewer gas and push it back into your kitchen through the plumbing pipes. Loose or deteriorated seals around drainpipes can also allow sewer gas to leak out. If you can’t find the source, call a local plumber for expert help.

DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and specialized equipment requirements. Hire professionals for effective clearing.

Regular maintenance, such as not disposing of grease or coffee grounds down the sink and routine use of strainers, can prevent clogs.
