"Clearly we had a variety of tasks that needed doing. Eric and his team cheerfully agreed to do both large and small jobs, and were especially careful ensuring they were proceeding with our approval BEFORE doing any work.
We were given several options for how different jobs could be done and price ranges so we could determine what we want.
Repairing the desk and drawer were requests we made in the middle of the job.  The team graciously agreed to add these tasks to the list.
All work has been completed to our satisfaction.  The team was always friendly, courteous, and cleaned up after themselves.

"Plumbers are very expensive. This company is no exception. But that doesn't mean the work was not worth it. They communicated well, they were up front with the impending costs, and they didn't pressure me to continue with them. Once they started, they used smoke (not a camera) to locate the break. They ended up finding and fixing 3 problems that were causing the sewer odor. Considering what they were up against, they worked very quickly (it took the better part of 2 days to diagnose and fix the problem). They had to dig under the house, but they left the area as tidy as they found it. I am grateful for their expertise, and I will absolutely call them again."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.

Yes. Sewer cameras are invaluable tools that can help pros safely diagnose problems with your septic system. Without a camera to look into your system, septic issue diagnoses would be a combination of guessing and past experience. However, a camera can help confirm ideas that your pro may already have about what’s wrong.

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 generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage for a short time, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. While the level of sewer gas is usually low enough to only cause minor symptoms, prolonged inhalation can lead to headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous, and high concentrations of methane—a component of sewer gas—can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. If you smell sewer gas in your home, ventilate the area and call a professional to locate, assess, and fix the problem, as it will not go away on its own.

Thankfully, it’s pretty rare to find a rat in your toilet. It’s more likely in larger cities with big sewer systems that can be feeding grounds for rats, but even then, you still shouldn’t fret. 

“I wouldn’t worry too much about rats coming up through the sewers,” Bradshaw says. “I’d say only one out of a thousand rodent customers we get actually have this problem. And of the 20 or some customers that have had this happen, they’ve all only had just one rat come up this way.”
