Appliance Guys IncCalled Jeff at Paradise plumbing after reading the great reviews on angies list. Our downstairs toilet was clogged and no amount of plunging/snaking on my end would clear it. Jeff called 15 min prior to his arrival and arrived right around his estimated time that he would be out. He also was...
We had had two other plumbers out previously who didn't know what the problem was and suggested we call a roto rooter and contact CCMUA for marking the drainage system so a snake didn't break off. He estimated a job in clearing the sewer from the street would run about $1800. We contacted...
This is the second time we have used Michael Pridham's company, as they'd helped us clean up a sewer backup at another location. They were excellent in performance there, and also responded quickly, and were fast and efficient in their work this time. If I ever had another such problem,...

"QUICK, FRIENDLY, and CHEAP!! First, AJ called me within 30 seconds of me texting him asking for an estimate. I sent him a photo of our water leak issue and he immediately responded. He actually explained that we could probably handle the repair ourselves if we were up for it, instead of paying him or someone else. He then walked us through every step in detail and made sure we were comfortable with the directions. So in the end, it cost us $0 in labor and only a small amount for materials, and really demonstrated AJ's integrity and generosity!"

"They truly live by the code of "you get what you paid for". The price was cheaper than expected (and they included a free estimate too). So ultimately, our slow bathtub drain was cleared. However, the technician had terrible housekeeping. After stripping the caulking around the overflow valve, they left the caulking pieces in the bathtub and told us to flush them down the drain (?!). They said the provided bio solution would clear the pieces just fine...but why do that when a trash can is less than a foot away?? Then, they did not offer to reseal the valve they just opened...just left a mess for us to pick up. As such, we will not be using them again next time...free estimate or not. If we wanted the bare minimum, we would have done it ourselves."

The price and warranty were competitive with high end brands. The crew was courteous and professional during the two day install. They were the only company that included replacement of the coolant lines, rather than just flushing the old ones. So far the Daikin variable speed AC units are exceptionally quiet and the house is very comfortable. Would recommend Ace Home Services and Unique Comfort without reservation."

"We were made to sign a Waiver of Right to Cancel and an Emergency Work Authorization although I had made it clear on the phone that it was not an emergency, we were just replacing functioning older elements with new ones. He then gave us a price that, even though it was said to be a service partner rate (they had previously done HVAC work for us), seemed extremely high, but we didn't have anything to compare it to (a mistake), so we said okay and he began work. He appeared to be having trouble removing the old sink, but did not inform us that he was damaging our counter top in the process. Not until he was all done and waiting for someone to bring him the right color caulk did he show us the many cracks in our counter top. He seemed surprised that we were unhappy about the damage. He went out to his truck and called in, then returned to say that his manager offered to install a toilet we had wanted to have replaced later at no charge. That didn't seem like much consolation when we are going to have to get all new counter tops installed in our kitchen, plus the sink and garbage disposal taken out and reinstalled. Later we had another plumber install our toilet, which cost less than a third of the service partner rate originally quoted to us by the Horizon technician, with no damage. We did not want Horizon to do any more plumbing for us. In addition to the ruined counter top, when the caulk cured it pulled away from the gap, leaving holes around the back and sides. We were also surprised that he took everything with him without asking us. I told him that the old garbage disposal still worked, we were just replacing it so we wouldn't have to do it later, and would have tried to see if someone else could use it. The same with the unused pieces from the new faucet. We chose not to install the soap dispenser, and he left us the just the pump piece while taking away the straw, the bottle, and the rest of the assembly pieces, as well as the deck plate and gasket that we didn't use. Maybe technicians are told to scavenge spare parts for future jobs, but we had purchased everything ourselves so it does seem like we should have been asked, at least. I was not watching him when he packed up because I was still in shock about the counter damage and the prospect of now having to replace counter tops when we hadn't planned on it. I submitted a review to Horizon's website, but it never appeared there and I received no response."

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.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
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.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
