"In February I had a tech named Chad come to fix a squealing toilet. He insisted it wasn’t the fill valve but the inlet valve behind the toilet. When remounting the toilet he made ME, who just had open abdominal surgery help him remount the toilet! He flushes it 3 times, still squealing. He knows he hasn’t fixed the issue but still charges me and leaves. Like I said, I’m recovering from a major operation & this was a toilet in my rental unit located above my unit. I wasn’t renting it out at the time so I let it go for a few months bc you know recovering from illness and working 50 hours a week gets in the way. The part & work was supposedly under warranty for 1 year. I had another plumbing service cone and look at the squealing toilet. They replaced the fill valve. After 8 flushes- squealing again. Stays for another hour repeatedly flushing the toilet then leaves with problem not fixed. I go to my unit, HUGE hole in my ceiling. Clearly the toilet has been leaking every times it’s flushed and just sat in the floor/ceiling until it got too wet and the plaster gave away. Call roto rooter- they take 2 days to come and are no where in the time window. If I had a tennant at the time this would be an EMERGENCY but they take their sweet time. They come and replace the fill valve AGAIN. They admit Chad had no idea what he was doing. They said I would be refunded for the damage, lost money from not being able to rent it, and the original call. In comes the arrogant Ozie Soarks. He will ONLY send some third party restoration company to “fix the damage”. This third party company is even more rude and stupid than roto rooter and wants to rip up my place, leave it dry for 2 weeks, then only patch the hole. According to the two companies my insurance company sent out, they said the floor of the bathroom was also shot and needed repaired. So I had to use the insurance company Incase there were future issues, if this claim wasn’t followed through I’ll be liable for all future issues since this would be “pre existing” if not fixed right. This ends up being a $5,000 claim. Again I have to deal with this Ozie moron. He says he’s done with me bc I cancelled the home restoration he recommended. When I explain they couldn’t fix all the damage he tries to mansplain to me and says “Mistakes happen” and they’re not liable. Sending inexperienced techs that don’t know what they’re doing is absolutely their problem. I work in healthcare, if I make a mistake someone dies. I’m so sick of people not standing behind their work with garbage excuses. I’m like you need to refund me bc after ALL of this the toilet is squealing again SO loudly you can hear it in the yard. Ozie blames this on a wax ring. It’s not the F$&@ing ring!!! Ozie tells me that he’s “done with me & I can call the BBB and my lawyer” and hangs up. Buckle up buddy!!!!!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

You could be smelling sewer gas in your kitchen because of a dry P-trap, clogged vent pipe, or leaking plumbing seals. If you smell a rotten egg odor, check your sink’s P-trap and plumbing connections first. A clogged or damaged vent pipe can trap sewer gas and push it back into your kitchen through the plumbing pipes. Loose or deteriorated seals around drainpipes can also allow sewer gas to leak out. If you can’t find the source, call a local plumber for expert help.

Ideally, you might find that you only need to clean the sewer line or remove a clog from the main line. That costs $200 to $300. However, “sewer main clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear, depending on what is causing the clog, distance from accessible cleanouts to the clog, and whether there is occupied space below the clogged line (apartment buildings, condos, etc.),” says Botelho.

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.

The best practice is to clean the sewer drain lines in your home once a year or every two years. Older homes could require more frequent maintenance. Keeping up on cleaning your sewer lines can prevent severe clogs, help ensure your system is working properly, and prevent expensive repairs.

It’s true: Thanksgiving is known as one of the busiest days of the year for plumbers. The day after Thanksgiving is also a jam-packed day, as people reckon with the issues caused by pushing too much turkey meat down the garbage disposal or other plumbing problems. If you run into a plumbing emergency during Thanksgiving, you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that plenty of plumbers work on Thanksgiving due to the uptick in demand.
