"It was cleared within a half hour. The technician was extremely polite and he left everything as neatly as he found it. The price was excellent and he worked quickly. In the past when I had plumbing work done it always ended up more than I thought and there was alway a lot of cleaning up to do after they left. I was afraid to call anyone I felt plumbers were so hard to get to come to you house and you were at their disposal . Right from the start the main office was very responsive they offered to send someone the same day I chlose to have them come the next morning. The technician called before coming and showed up on time. He was very polite identified the problem and work extremely quickly and cleanly leaving everything very neat. After this experience I will never dread calling a plumber. I am definitely added this company to my phone to call for emergency plumbing The price I paid was $235.00 much better than I exspected"

"Return Air Vent Move - Tech cut a crude opening in the ceiling framework which did not properly fit the elbow duct he installed. Did not clean up sawdust and did not replace insulation he moved. Displeased with the quality of workmanship of their technician. Repaired the sloppy workmanship myself due to time constraints for my construction addition. Bowman owner said I should have called back to let them fix it. Plumbing for Half Bath - Owner arrived on Oct 9th, 2018 to give me a free estimate to do the job. He did not like the fact that I mentioned the poor quality of the Return Air Vent Move job. After reviewing my half bath requirements, he left but never got back to me with a quote for the job. Called HL. Bowman approximatley 3 weeks later on Oct 29th, 2018 to inquire about my quote. Rep. said he couldn't find anything regarding my quote request. He said he would check on it and get back to me. As of Nov 1, 2018 I have still not received a return call or my quote; very dissapointing. Will not use this vendor for any of their services. Got a quote from H.B. McClure Plumbing to do the rough in plumbing; $2100. Will probably use them because I have been happy with the quality of their workmanship in the past."

"Seemed pretty inexperienced (although not sure that is unique these days given staffing shortages). Didn’t really understand the ask about the bathtub drain being clogged. Did correctly fix the shower issue, but when they replaced the fixture they didn’t screw it in all the way so the next few showers let a lot of water into the wall until we realized and fixed. Overall did the job and came in reasonable time but seemed to be very new to the job."

"The young technicians who came to my home to installed the new thermostat and move it to another wall in my home were polite and conducted themselves professionally in my home and cleaned after themselves. I very appreciated Uri suggestion when he recommended to me another alternative at the initial visit and gave me a few quotes to choose from. So I'm very happy with ER service and I would rehired these two individuals back to my home. I will definitely recommend ER to other people in my life."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.

It is not advisable to use drain cleaner in a washing machine. Drain cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can damage the internal components of your washer, including rubber seals, hoses, and even the drum. These chemicals can also react with any residual detergent or fabric softener, potentially leading to noxious fumes. If your washing machine is experiencing drainage issues, it's best to address the problem directly by inspecting and cleaning the lint filter, checking for clogs in the drain hose, or seeking professional repair services. Using drain cleaner in a washing machine is a risky solution that can cause more harm than good.

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.  

You can drain a hot tub very quickly by using a submersible pump rather than the hose-sized drain at the bottom exterior of the tub. A pump can move up to 30 gallons per minute, draining your hot tub in no time. Using the regular drain can take up to two hours.

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.
