We first met with Ken who gave us a very detailed estimate which involved totally tearing out what had been completed by the previous homeowner and reconfiguring the space. We had daily communication with the project manager and were kept up to date on what would be happening on a daily basis. We enjoyed working with Jerry the project manager and Chad who did all of the tear out and carpentry work. We ran into several issues with drains that were hidden by walls, stairs and cabinetry that required drilling into existing concrete to relocated the drains properly. Throughout the process we were kept up to date and GuyCo made sure the dust was mainly contained to the basement. I appreciated the fact that everyone from staff to trades were very respectful of our space and took great care to keep the areas clean. I worked with Melissa on all selections and she was very knowledgeable and helped me make choices on everything from flooring to fixtures. Any issues that came up were handled promptly and professionally. We could not be more pleased with our new basement. We highly recommend GuyCo for any and all remodeling needs.

Ray's had been recommended by a friend and we asked him to service our system, which had not been serviced in many years. Prior to the visit, we had called Ray to inquire as to cost, how the process worked and to set up an appointment. Ray was very generous with his time, both on the phone and onsite. On the phone, in response to my questions, he spent some time discussing the "care and feeding" of a septic system (do's and don'ts) and onsite he took the time to help us diagnose a leaking toilet (we could see water draining into the tank when no draining water had been expected). Courteous and polite. Just a great job. Hope to have him back for maintenance in 5 years.

The first service they snaked our drain and un-plugged the our drain, a month later we had the same issue. Chuck sent another plumber and he stated he ran his snake 117? to the street and hit a solid. Which he couldn?t break through it and didn?t want to loose another 3? cutter. On the invoice he stated we needed to contact the City Engineering Department to have them come out since the issue lies with the City Sewer. The City of Marion came out and they left a door hanger stating they have inspected and cleaned the sewer system, found no inherent issue. So I called Chuck back out and he snaked our drain again, at this point he found nothing in the drain. He charged us $150 and left our plumbing in worse shape after the service than before the service. At least before the service I could flush a toilet where after his services I could not. My wife called Chuck back to see if he would came back out to further inspect, we did imply he needed to come out and fix whatever he did and explained the after his services left us worse off than before. He suddenly got real offensive and started to yell at her stating we don?t need to accuse him and his work. At this time I took the phone from her and told him he needs to listen and not to yell at my wife, he basically told me he was the owner and he would do what he wanted. In lieu of these events, stated all his work is performed with no warranty, and if I didn?t like it to call someone else, he continued to hang up on me. So I called back and told him how unprofessional he was and he doesn?t need to cuss and carry on, he may be the owner of his own company but people like me pay his wages, he doesn?t need to treat his customers this way. Before contacting Chucks Sewer and Drain please check the BBB, Angie?s list, other professional service rating sites. As of 05/15/2014, he is rated ?F? with multiple complaints and reviews very similar to mine.?

I was surprised when I got a call at 8:15 am by the plumber who would be coming out. He said he could be here in about 45 minutes. He and his helper arrived as promised, spent about 45 minutes unclogging the main drain, cleaned up after themselves, and were out of here by 10am.

French Drains questions, answered by experts
Most blockages can be cleared in 1-3 hours, but severe issues may take longer.
Professional plumbers use many high-grade chemicals to unclog drains. Many use hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid, when it comes to extreme blockages.
If your kitchen is flooding, first turn off the water supply and electricity before entering the room. Next, focus on immediate flood control by cleaning up any standing water with a sump pump or wet-dry vacuum to prevent long-term water damage to your home. Open your windows and run any dehumidifiers you have handy. Finally, call a professional plumber to help find the source of the flood and repair it.
Some homeowners use additives every month to help septic system performance, but according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the effectiveness of septic system and leach field additives is unknown. Further, additives made with organic solvents or alkali chemicals can actually be harmful to the necessary bacteria in a septic system.
While there is no specific “best” method to clear hair out of a drain, several options work well. Using a combination of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the hair clog is a great and easy way to help clear the drain. Drain snakes are also effective for more severe clog buildups.
