I have used this provider once before to clear a clog in the same drain line. On the previous occasion the clog was far enough along in the drain line that it was forcing the drain by the laundry area to back up. On this occasion the clog was closer to the point where the drain line becomes vertical and was affecting only the sinks and toilets upstairs, not the basement drains. Gentleman who answered said he would take my info and description of the problem and have someone call me back. A woman called back about 10 minutes later (whom I assumed worked for the provider) and provided pricing info for their after hours service ($89 service call, min. $250 for first hour of labor). She asked me if wanted to dispatch the provider now or wait until morning. I asked what the difference in price would be if I waited until morning. She said there would be no service call charge and charges for drain cleaning would probably be around $95 if I waited. I opted to schedule them to arrive between 8 am and 10 am the following morning. The plumber arrived the next morning and investigated the problem. He informed me that the charge for using the \"medium sized\" cleaning auger would be $179.00 but if that didn't clear the clog then he'd have to use the \"large\" auger at a cost of $269.00. I asked why the pricing was so much higher than what was quoted by the woman I spoke with the prior evening. He said \"those are just the people from our answering service and they should not be quoting prices at all\". I mentioned that part of why I was asking about charges was because I was a member of Angie's List and noticed that there were some coupons available for this provider's service. I also mentioned that I had used this provider before for the exact same problem (about two years earlier) and had used an Angie's List coupon at that time ($79 for drain cleaning of 1 drain). The same coupon was available this time only the price had gone up to $99.00 and did not cover the $59.00 service call. He said that it would be a good idea for me to purchase that $99.00 coupon, especially if it turns out that the \"medium\" sized auger was unable to clear the clog in the drain line. He seemed to struggle quite a bit with the medium sized auger, mainly because there were several bad kinks in the auger cable that prevented it from being properly extended far enough into the drain line. He even took the medium sized auger outside at one point in order to full extend the cable and attempt to straighten it. However, he was still unable to clear the clog with that machine and had to use the large auger. The clog was finally cleared after a total of about two hours of work. I presented the $99 coupon and asked him to give me a total for any remaining amount I owed. He gave me a total of $170.00. I was expecting him to only charge me for the $59 service call, per the terms of the coupon so I asked him what the full charge was excluding any coupons. He said the total charge was $269.00 because he had to use the large auger. I pointed out to him that it's nice they're willing to accept the Angie's List coupon for $99 but if I still owed $170 above and beyond that then I'm still ultimately paying a total of $269.00. He then said he'd have to call his boss. A few minutes later he returned and said that the coupon does not apply as payment in full for this type of drain cleaning because he had to clean part of the main sewer line. I told him understood that but this was the same part of the same main drain line they cleaned the last time for $79 with the only difference being that the location of the clog was actually further along in the drain line on the previous occasion. He insisted that really they probably should not have applied the $79 coupon as payment in full on the previous occasion. I'm still a little fuzzy on exactly where the demarcation is between a common waste stack in a house and the home's \"main sewer\" line since technically all the drains in our home connect to the common waste stack. Furthermore, the fine print details of the coupon, which I understand are written by the provider, state that the customer \"must have accessible, ground level clean out for drain\". I'm having trouble envisioning what type of \"ground level clean out\" they might be referring to other than the one that is typically available on the main waste stack (main sewer line) for the home. I can understand that for $99 they don't want to get caught up in having to dig up someone's front yard to clean out the main sewer line but we're talking about running a snake from the basement of the home for maybe 10 or fifteen feet to dislodge a clog and frankly, I'm still wondering whether he really needed to use the \"large\" cleaning auger because the medium sized auger was ineffective due to the cable being kinked up and in a poorly maintained condition. I will probably shop around for a different plumbing service in the future."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/oh/cleveland/mayer-plumbing-and-heating-reviews-60799.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Active Rooter® Plumbing & Drain Cleaning LLC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"OH","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Sharon K."},"reviewBody":"
Both times Mark and his son were prompt, cordial, and careful not to make a mess while snaking the sewer lines. The entire job could have been done in one visit, but we were in the middle of helping our son move to his new place and decided two visits were be more convenient for us. We were very impressed by the whole experience, the detail directions of what they would do to correct the issue, and all costs were given up front. We will definitely use Active Rooter, again, for any other similar issues with our plumbing.

After having them waterproof part of my basement, I still have issues with water but they are very responsive and have proposed a solution to the problem, much of which lies with the city's outdated storm and sewer systems.

"Our furnace install was done professionally. The installers were great. I do not blame any of our problems on the installers. It is their corporate office and lack of concern for issues a customer has that will affect any future customers. They simply do not care. The day after our furnace install we received a text that stated "Anderson Heating, Cooling and Plumbing, and sister company A New Image Heating and Cooling are offering a FLASH BOGO! Valid this week! The Furnace is FREE when you install an AC! Call today for details.". I called immediately because we had expressed an interest in both heat and AC. I asked why we were not offered this BOGO when they knew we were interested in both and the sale was good for the week of our installation. We would have taken this deal and gotten both. I was told by the Mentor office that they were unaware that the sale text was going out and asked if I could give them a few days. The following Monday I did receive a call back and was told they would install our AC for $4,000. The original estimate was about $6,000. So they were offering to take $2,000 off to install the AC. My furnace was $5,695. Is this a deceptive advertising ploy to get another $4,000 out of us? I disagreed with this offer and was given a contact at their home office in Grand Rapids MI. I sent the info to Geoffery Kartes who is their Director of Digital Marketing in MI. That was four weeks ago and I have heard NOTHING from anyone. I even called Mr. Kartes and still did not get a call back. This is apparently a "pass the blame" situation where no one is willing to take responsibility. Associates in the Mentor office agreed with me, one of their associates even encouraged me to escalate my displeasure because he said this has happened before, yet nothing has been done. Maybe if they ignore me I will go away. I will not. I wanted to let potential future customers know this happened. I am also letting the BBB and the Ohio AG know. Thank you for taking the time to read this."

"I called Arcos because we had a small problem, with our kitchen drain, that I just couldn't fix. I spent most of my summer underneath my mobile home trying to unclog the pipes. Edgar came out and told us what the actual problem was. It turned out my "small problem" was actually a huge problem that I couldn't have fixed myself. Edgar had to replace all the piping under our mobile home (in the rain, snow, frigid temps) so we could use all our drains again. He kept us informed on every step of the project. He was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and did a FANTASTIC JOB!!! He did in such a short time what I couldn't do during an entire summer! I highly recommend Arcos Mechanical, and Edgar, to handle any and all plumbing projects you may have. Call him first, like I should've done, and save yourself a lot of money, time, and frustration and let them do it right the first time!!!!"

FAQs for sewer cleaning projects in Eastlake, OH
In most states, companies that perform sewer cleaning services don’t need specific licensing, but you should always ensure you hire a licensed and certified plumber to get the work done. You can use our state licensing tool to check whether the potential sewer cleaning company holds a plumber’s certification and license. Hiring a certified sewer cleaning services guarantees that the work will be done safely, there won’t be additional damage done to your home, and the problem will be fixed.
The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.
Drains in your home gurgle during or after draining
Water backs up into your sewer line cleanout
You notice foul odors in your home
The best way to confirm that your main sewer line is clogged is to hire a professional plumber to assess the situation and use a camera to inspect the inside.
In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.
You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
