They were able to stop by the same day. I was flexible about the time and they arrived just when they said they would.The problem was resolved quickly. Professional and friendly. Willing and able to explain where and why I had a problem. Their pricing is reasonable. All in all a good deal. I have used them once in the past (four years back) and would do so again without hesitation.
My trap plug's O ring died during my own unclogging attempts before I called them, and they advised me on getting a new one. They don't keep those on their truck, so I've got a slowly dripping leak until I can get to the hardware store. I'm OK with that, because they're a drain company, not an all-around plumbing company (although of course it would've been great if they'd had a replacement).
They were done within 20 minutes. They were friendly and polite, dealt well with my dog, and gave me a $10 Angie's List discount.
Details: We live in an old building (100+ years). We've had our sewer line video'd, and had recommendations and quotes on what work to do from other companies. However the estimates we've received appear to be on the wrong pipe (really!). So when I asked Borges for a quote on excavating a spot where we have been told by other providers we have a break, I also explained that we think there may be another pipe to the street. They courteously came to our basement, we did a quick test observing a secondary pipe in the floor by running water from the washing machine. Then they opened up a manhole in the street and confirmed that this pipe is the one that runs to the street (a different pipe than we've received quotes on in the past). They made a couple of recommendations about the work to be done, including a reasonable-sounding approach of creating a new line to the street by digging in our basement (easier and less disruptive to our landscaping). The quoted price was reasonable (based on other quotes we'd received).
They were the lowest bidder on the job by far. So I was a little hesitant to hire them at first. I am glad I did it. I called the owner the next day to thank him. I would recommend these folks highly.
A year after the work all is well. The sewer backups that used to be frequent are now gone. The plantings above the new pipe are growing nicely. The street repairs are still perfect. Thank you, John.
