With each plumbing project we offer a quality guarantee because we believe that homeowners should have the peace of mind knowing that the finished product is going to have a professional quality finish.

"I called for a repair on a toilet, told then that I already had the replacement part, just wanted them to replace it for me. Being a 'Gold' member, they told me it would be $30.00 to just come out and check it out and take care of it. They arrived on-site, I showed him my Kohler replacement part and the tech proceeded to spend close to 45 minutes trying to figure out his tablet, only to find out he was getting me 4 quotes ready. two of which were to replace the toilet, one to replace all the parts and one to use there value at a cost of $248.00 dollars. (He could have already replaced what I needed) I proceeded to ask him to leave, he charged me the $30.00...what a joke. I have use My Pro Plumber in the past, but never again, this was unbelievable. I am not sure what they are doing these days, but if you need something minor, do not call these guys. I filled out their survey, the owner called, missed the call, I tried to return the call two times, left messages."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Never pour used motor oil down the drain. Doing so can have serious environmental consequences, including contaminating groundwater, endangering animals, and killing vegetation. It can also clog your pipes, causing backups in your plumbing or the wastewater treatment plant. In most places, pouring motor oil down the drain is illegal, whether you do it in your home or a storm drain.

It's advisable to have your sewer line inspected every three to five years to ensure its proper functioning and detect any potential issues early on. However, the frequency of inspections can vary based on factors such as the age of your sewer system, the type of pipes used, and your property's location. If you notice any warning signs like slow drains, foul odors, or sewage backups, it's essential to schedule an inspection promptly, regardless of the regular maintenance schedule. 

Costs vary by severity and access requirements. Typical pricing ranges from $100 to $350, increasing with complexity or for emergency services.

Yes, rats can come up through drains. They can crawl through basement floor drains, lateral house drains, and roof drains. Installing rat blockers in your drains is the best way to repel rats and prevent them from entering your pipes. These are one-way valves that allow water and waste to flow out but keep rats from getting in.

The cost to clean a sewer line is about $370, ranging from about $190 to $550 on average. The specific cleaning method and the problem's severity will impact the project's overall cost. Some of the most common sewer line cleaning methods include:

  • Snaking or rodding: $100–$250

  • Hydrojetting: $350–$600

  • Chemical treatments: $600–$1,000

  • Repair or replacement: $1,000–$7,500
