"Not impressed with ARS. Our $12,000 HVAC unit was installed in July of 2019. It is supposed to be the best thing ever, super energy efficient and so on. By November 2019, we are trying to run the heat downstairs but not upstairs but are unable to. A technician comes out and lets us know that the damper motor, the part that allows for this function is broken, and that he will go order the replacement and that I need to call the office over the weekend to schedule a time for them to come back during the upcoming week to install it. On Sunday, I speak with Sherri in Houston who has no interest in helping me schedule a time to repair my broken $12,000 HVAC unit installed less than six months prior, and says "I am ending the call now." I spoke with a manager in Charleston regarding this, he did have Sherri call and apologize, but it was an exceedingly negative experience. Now, August/Sept 2020, the AC is continuously running and is having trouble keeping it at the set temperature when it could previously. This is the second time in just over a year that there has been something wrong with the very expensive HVAC. We called yesterday (08/31/20) and we scheduled a time between 8 am and noon today for a technician to come out. At 11:45, when we still have not heard from them, we call and ask where they are and are told they have emergencies on the schedule but will have a technician out some time this afternoon. So we have had to stay home and wait during their scheduled time, they don't show up, and they don't call us to let us know they are running behind!!! I am happy to make payments on this HVAC unit if it is a good quality machine that will work reliably, but the problem is that it is not reliable. ARS's customer service after making the sale is also pretty unreliable. This is the second time now that I have been essentially told by ARS that the issues with my HVAC unit are not a priority for them. I realllyyyy do not recommend this company. Please shop around when looking to buy an HVAC and READ REVIEWS! We didn't do this in 2019 because our AC went out in July and we needed a replacement ASAP so we went with the first company we found. I regret that very much."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.

Some signs that your main sewer line is clogged are easy to spot, like when water backs up into your showers, sinks, and toilets for no apparent reason. However, some indicators are more subtle. The most common signs that you may have a clogged sewer main include:

  • Gurgling sounds coming from drains or toilet

  • Water in your basement drain or in the lawn

  • Smell of raw sewage throughout your home

  • Other found odors like rotten eggs around your home

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.

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.

You should hire a sewer service professional to unclog a main sewer line with tree roots. Tree roots can grow into the main sewer line, and this problem requires a specialized hydro jet, or rooter, that is powerful enough to clear the roots. The tree can also damage the main sewer line, and a professional will need to make repairs or replace the damaged sections. Sewer line replacement costs about $60 to $250 per linear foot.
