I've used Shorty's for many years both for routine maintenance & in an emergency. Most recent was an emergency with a sewer blockage. He was quick to respond to my message & had someone out in a few hours to resolve the issue at a reasonable price.

Great! He communicated quickly, arrived on a time, was not disruptive, did the work well, explained the issue, and offered a lower cash price.

He likes to be paid in cash and it's less money than the company I went up with. We will probably go to him and stick with him. Shorty is fine.

I have used Shorty several times in the past 10 years. They always show up as promised, get the job done, clean up well, and move on their way. I feel like they do an honest job's work for a fair price and will always call him if I ever need this type of service again.

Our kitchen drain was slow for months and finally backed up completely. I snaked the drain 25', but still wasnt improving, so I called Shorty based on a family reccomendation. He promptly showed up the next day and went to work.
I had already prepped the stack cleanout and gotten some junk towels out, and he brought in a huge professional snake, and within 15min had cleared out over 50' of drain line. He was happy to give some tips on how to keep it from happening again (if you need to run your disposer, throw it in the trash instead).
Pulling the 50' snake out of the drain left a mess that could have been cleaned up (or protected against) a little better, but, frankly, the drain was clear, and cleanup only took me 15min, so it wasnt too bad.
I would gladly recommend and/or rehire him in the future, but maybe get ahold of a few more junk towels/drop cloths beforehand.

Went great. He always clears any clog within minutes and tells you what the issue was. Called yesterday because of a clog, he was there today exactly when he said he would be, cleared the clog, told us what it was, and was gone in a matter of 20 minutes or so. Does great work.

I called Shorty, as I always do when my pipes back up, and he made an appointment for 10:00 a.m. the next day. He arrived at 10:00 a.m., and immediately went to work to clear the rust out of the cast iron pipe. He ran all 15 feet of that snake through the line several times to make sure it was good and clean. He asked me to run the kitchen faucet, and it ran perfectly after that. Shorty is always pleasant to deal with, and comes exactly when he say he will.
A little known note, he's also the least expensive of all the drain cleaning companies in St Louis, and I've contacted many.
Thanks again Shorty.

Called Shorty to have a sewer line cleaned out in the morning. He set up a time at 10:00am that day top be there. He called about a half hour later asking if he could make it 12:30 as he had a guy missing that day because off illness and that he would be the service person coming instead. He arrived on time, cleaned out a nasty clog caused by tree roots, and was very pleasant. He suggested that I might want to clean it out more often if I couldn't get it replaced. Overall, Shorty was pleasant on the phone, during the work process, and communicated well when he needed to reschedule. I will be hiring him for all my drain problems with all my rentals. Price was good as well. Takes cash or check, checks are $15 more.

I have used Shorty at least 5 times since 2004 to clear blockages in the main drain on my homes. Every time I call him he treats me great on the phone. When he shows up, still the same nice guy. His prices are great and he works quick. I've never had to wait more than 24 hours for him to show up. He shows up, gets the job done, and leaves with a smile...even after being up to his elbows in your waste. Now that is professionalism!

They did a great job of cleaning out my very backed up sewer. They couldn't finish the job the first day, but finished the job on a Sunday. Very quick and efficient service.

''Shorty'' is great! He came a couple of days ago and rooted the line under the basement, suspecting he had solved the problem. Unfortunately, I had to call him back because the line, backed up again the next time it rained. He very cheerfully came back, rooted out a separate line, which has in fact solved the problem and did not charge me any more for the second visit. He was very friendly, very prompt (showed up within about 2 hours of my first phone call), and offered a discount of about 20% for paying in cash! The greatest thing is that he has promised to come by in the next few days and install an access cap on my gutter drain to allow for easier access to clogs in the future, all for no charge whatsoever! Shorty for President!
