I called SOS and described my situation, and they said that a plumber would call me back in a few minutes to schedule a visit. True to their word, he called right back and within an hour he was at my house and got to work. He finished the work very quickly, then recommended that I purchase an inexpensive lint trap for my washer hose at a hardware store to prevent the drain from clogging again.
Description of Work: The drain that my washer empties into had become very clogged with lint and was backing up. SOS showed up exactly on time and within 10 minutes had cleaned out the drain. Their representative also gave me advice on how to prevent it from happening again.

Someone showed up exactly when they said someone would be there and did the job quickly. I might mention that although I hadn't originally called them, when they found out about the referral they gave me their Angie's List discount.

I spoke to Jeff in the late evening to make appointment, was informed that a serviceman was available between 10am-12pm the next day (which I found acceptable). Randy called around 9:30am to verify services needed, to make sure I was home and to let me know that he would be over in approx 20 minutes. Once in my home, he was able to efficiently assess the situation and effectively deal with it, all the while maintaining cleanliness which I found surprising. I expected a much larger mess. He was very professional and personable and I would definitely welcome him back again.

Work went very well. The clog was about 8 feet into the line and he was able to clear it pretty quickly. He cleaned up and left.
Description of Work: Called SOS about 8 am. They said they have someone out between 12 and 2pm the same day; he showed up about 1:20 pm. He ran a snake through our clogged bathroom sink and was done in about 10 minutes. I got the 10% Angie's list discount from the web site so I paid $94.50 instead of $105.

The serviceman was late in getting there but a previous job took longer than expected. He had a difficult time getting his "snake" thru the drain due to outdated plumbing but kept at it until he successfully found the opening and the clog. It took him more than an hour for the first drain but he charged me for one hour of time only for that drain.

SOS answered (rather than my having to leave a voicemail) when I called to make the appointment, scheduled it for the next morning even though it was not an emergency and said they would call when they were on their way to our house. Randy called and arrived shortly thereafter. He was professional, polite and willing to answer our questions about the work he was doing. He recommended having the main line cleaned in two years as a preventative measure. For billing, he wrote up the bill right on the spot, wrote down our credit card number, gave us a receipt as well as a sticker to remind us that SOS did the work and when to have it done again. The whole process took about 30 minutes. I will absolutely hire them again.
Description of Work: Cleaned out tree roots from house to street in main line and the floor drain. We used the 10% coupon on Angie's List and the 50% coupon for cleaning of a 2nd line.

Over the period of a year my bathroom sink and bathtub drains began to drain ever more slowly. Randy, from SOS Drain and Sewer Cleaning, was, prompt, professional and ethical and did a great job based on a per-item price! (This is in contrast to a previous experience with Roto-Rooter where there was no per-item pricing and I even got hustled to pay the Roto-Rooter representative in cash). Again, from now on I'll always use SOS for my drain cleaning.

SOS came that same afternoon that we called. He was able to determine where the problem was immediately and cleared it. He told us how to prevent it in the future and even what to do and who to call (not his company) if this problem became persistent. We appreciated his service, information and the Angie's List discount.

I tried to fix a blocked drain line for my sink and bathtub and ended up stripping the drum trap cap and pushing the blockage further down the line. They were able to clear the clog and repair the trap in less time than it took me to figure out I had gone too far.

They called ahead to let me know they were on their way. It was raining, so they were very concerned about getting mud in our home. They helped me place rugs and old sheets so they wouldn't track in the mud. At the end, they showed me where they had missed the rugs so some of the mud got on the floor. They were very concerned, but I assured them I thought it would clean up ok (it did). Very nice experience.
Description of Work: We have our line cleaned every couple of years due to some tree roots that tend to clog it up. I happened to be home the next day and checked with SOS to see if they could possibly come out the following day. They could and did an excellent job.

Brad called before arriving for same day service. He evaluated the situation with my drain and drum trap. He covered my furniture with plastic to prevent a mess. He removed the drum trap cap (difficult, messy and smelly) and snaked the plumbing. He replaced the cap (the same re-usable plastic cap) and we checked that when the bathtub water ran, it did not leak. After everything was complete, Brad cleaned up the area. He answered all of my questions. Brad was polite, professional and honest. I would call SOS in this situation again.
