"I had a very difficult drain clog. James worked patiently, diligently and methodically to solve the problem. Twice it looked like we were licked, but James kept at it and got the job done. Acme should be very proud to have a plumber of Jame's caliber on their team."

"Showed up on time and were very courteous and professional when speaking about the project. Snaked the main sewer drain, one toilet and replaced one toilet. When using a snake to unblock a toilet, they made quite a mess on the walls. Was never cleaned by them or told about it before they left. Found it after they finished the job. The toilet they installed runs after flushing. Have to constantly wiggle the handle after flushes."

The man was pleasant and I think the work he did was ok. I am not happy that he didn't fix the icemaker. He told my husband a part was stripped and what part to get. Of course, we can't find the part. The store sold us a different kind of filter that may or may not work. That is the exact same thing that happened with a different plumber when I wanted a shut off valve installed on the icemaker in the house. I had to call him back to install the valve because I couldn't keep it from leaking.


I think the pricing is horrible but if people tell me it's reasonable, I could change my mind.

There was an 89.00 trip charge (we knew this) and the address of the business is within a mile or two.

Installing the faucet that I supplied was 228.00

Installing and supplying the hoses and faucets in laundry room was 328.00.

They did direct us to a coupon on the internet that saved us $50.00 so out total was $595.00.

They tried to sell a service plan...if we bought the plan, our cost would be lowered but to me that means guaranteed spending not saving...I'm not a fan of those. If I had done business with them for a while and really trusted them, I might consider something like that.

I have a few problems with this....

1) I think the cost is high

2) If I wanted to fix the icemaker myself I wouldn't have called a plumber. I think many people in America have icemakers and would think plumbers should have parts to take care of them.

3) Don't offer me a service plan when you just charged me a ton and didn't complete all I asked for.

I don't think these things were the fault of the individual plumber and if he had his own business at reasonable cost (and fixed my icemaker), I would have been happy.

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

You can unclog an AC drain line for free if you already have these household ingredients: water, vinegar, and rags. Alternatively, if you’d rather not deal with the mess, you can hire a pro to clear your drain line. If you go that route, an HVAC service call costs between $100 and $250.

Pouring drain cleaner down a vent pipe isn’t recommended. First of all, unlike a clog in a sink or bath caused by such material as soap scum build-up, toothpaste, and hair, clogs in a vent pipe are likely the result of debris from trees or even an animal stuck in the pipe. Drain cleaners won’t be able to eat through this kind of material. The cleaner will only become clogged in the vent with the debris, causing even more problems.

It is okay to use a drain auger on a toilet, just make sure you are using the correct tip size. The auger is a plumbing snake with a protective sleeve to protect the porcelain toilet bowl from getting scratched. Using too large of an auger can cause the snake to loop back and damage the inside of the drain and plumbing.

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

Yes—your local septic company can clean your septic leach lines with a sewer jetter, a device that pumps high-pressure water through the lines to blast out any clogs and scum buildup. Unless there’s a clog or blockage in the lines, however, you do not need to perform this maintenance regularly. Do not attempt to clean your own leach lines, as you could easily damage them, leading to very costly repairs.
