approximately 2 hours on August 26th, the Mr. Rooter technician, Jason Bailey worked on the job. Before any work could be done, however, a total final cost of work had to be calculated. This cost came to $580.00. Aghast at this price I reduced the order to work on the kitchen sink only, so reducing the cost to $400.71. As work proceeded Mr. Bailey discovered that the old drain assembly could not be fitted to the new sink unit. Therefore a further work order charge to install a new drain assembly had to be calculated. This charge came to $190.59. Mr. Rooter does not separate out the cost of parts from labor on its invoices. This way the company can hide the absurd disparity between extortionate labor charges and the cost of parts. I have since priced the PVC parts used for the drain assembly and estimated the cost be $23.93. If Mr. Bailey had used metal parts for the drain assembly, as was requested, the cost of parts to Mr. Rooter would have been several times more. Instead the cheapest parts possible were used. The sink trap doesn?t even have a clean out!! On completion of the work Mr. Bailey asked me to check out the work. I questioned the leak in the faucet and was assured that remnant capillary water had to take time to drain out. But, the faucet continued to drain continuously. Mr. Bailey was called back. He informed me that the hot water seal in the handle was faulty and had to be replaced which he would do for something in excess of $200.00. The following day I uninstalled the kitchen faucet and installed a new replacement myself ? the cost $151.94. The real cost to Mr. Rooter to repair the old faucet could not possibly have been more than the cost of a site visit, a new seal (generous estimate $25.00) and 10 minutes of labor. At each step of the way, as the work was broken down into separate sales contracts, I was asked to sign an agreement threatening that if I didn't pay for the work when completed, I would face legal action including possible "legal ownership rights to your home." What business practice could be more draconian? The whole experience of this repair service can be summed up as nothing less than predatory gouging. And the moral to this sorry tale - don't be fooled by coupon promos.

My main concern about both visits in 2013: they were to call my cell phone before going to the house. It is my rental house, so I needed to be sure someone would be there when they arrived. In March, they called my home phone and left a message...no one was home. I got the message after the day was done. I even told them to call the cell phone, not home phone. The latest incident on 11/4/13...they failed to call my cell phone again after I asked them to. The assigned worker just showed up at the house. I told him he was fortunate that someone was there since I got no notification. His response was that he simply had a work order to do this job. I'm hoping the issue is corrected. I don't believe he inspected the toilet area to see if there as another issue that needed addressed. But I was not there when he arrived. The worker was pleasant, his attitude or demeanor had nothing to do with my comments on this job.

$443.30 to fix a slowly leaking bathroom sink drain and it's still leaking and now clogged. Original quote was $1,058.55 to replace the sink faucet (lol). After I asked why it was so expensive, the quote was reduced to $443 to simply 'fix the leak', which I reluctantly agreed to. After paying...

FAQs for french drain service projects in Fairmount, IN
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
