Cost is determined by the job. We accept cashier's check or cash.

"Initially the work performed by Al Savelle was satisfactory. However, when we contacted Al to return and correct an issue with the toilet leaking from the base he refused to stand behind his work and correct the problem created by his work not being done correctly. Below are the details of the situation: Al Savelle was hired to re-seat 2 toilets in our home on 21-April-2018, after our floors were installed. On 22-May-2018, one of the toilets started leaking at the base. When I called to get him to come out and fix the issue he stated he would be at my house between 0830-0900 on 23-May-2018. The morning of 23-May, I received a text from Al stating "Good morning Scott, I can't warrantee that old toilet and my schedule is busy right now. Your best bet is probably to get another local plumber". I responded with several texts after that as follows: From Scott K: Al - you did the work to install the toilets and one is leaking. Therefore it is your responsibility to come and fix the issue since the work done was not done correctly From Scott K: The age of the toilet is irrelevant. The toilet did not leak before the floors were installed. The whole purpose in hiring you as the plumber was to ensure the reinstall of the toilet was done properly. From Scott K: When will you be here to correct the problem? Scott K: So am I understanding that you are not going to honor your promise of "Our work is good. We promise. And behind that promise, we want you to know that we back our work with a satisfaction guarantee. We won't stop working until you like what we've done"? I received no response to any of the above text messages After several attempts to call Al to discuss the matter (each time the call went straight to voice mail with instructions to text the issue to him as he does not check his voice mails), we are now forced to contact another plumbing company and pay for All Savelle's incompetent work in order to prevent additional damage to our brand new flooring."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Most commercial liquid drain cleaners work in 15 to 30 minutes. Consult the label on the bottle for additional instructions or time suggestions to prevent damage to your drainpipes. Alternative solutions such as baking soda, salt, white vinegar, and/or boiling water can take longer since they are less harsh than liquid drain cleaners.

Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it’s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they’re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.

Simple blockages can be cleared using household plungers or manual snakes, provided no severe plumbing issues exist.

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.

It might be possible to dissolve hair caught in a drain, but it’s usually not a good way to go about clearing the clog. Some sources mention that baking soda and vinegar can do the trick, but this won’t actually dissolve the hair. The hydrochloric acid in drain cleaners can dissolve the hair over time, but it will much more quickly destroy your plumbing pipes and leave you with bigger issues. The best way to remove hair is to do it manually with a drain snake or to have a plumber use an auger to pull clogs out.
