"I was in rhe process of selling my home; of course, the buyers inspector said get a HVAC inspection and I did. Another company came in, said the system was fine just needed basic cleaning services then quoted an astronomical price for something I have had done previously for 1/3 the quoted cost. I guess they assumed despite times..right... Nope, I called Alco. They scheduled me for the next morning and completed the recommended cleanings with both a price and service within my expectations (umm, budget). Thanks to them for not taking advantage of the situation."

"They were very prompt and came back several times to make sure everything was working. They worked late into the evening, making sure the job was complete and they cleaned up afterwards. There was a problem that they had to investigate in order to solve, but they didn't charge us for that."

"Called about 9:30 in the morning due to backed up sewer line in the office building.  Once the issue was explained, Roger rearranged his appointments to come straight over and correct the problem.  Now we can drink coffee again!!!  They got right to the problem, fixed and got everything back together in no time at all.

"For years, I’ve had a variable odor in my basement that several licensed plumbers failed to diagnose correctly or at all. Their assessments ranged from "can't smell it" to "possible sewer gas." One plumber taped the open areas of the floor drain housing the hoses the water softener & Rinnai, while others recommended pouring vinegar & water down it. Another dismissed the musty smell from my tankless water heater's exterior intake/exhaust duct as “simple moisture.” Thankfully, Cody Carroll of Piping Hot Plumbing came for a separate job. The moment he walked past my tankless water heater, he immediately recognized the odor: a dangerous propane leak. He instantly shut down the system, explaining the serious safety hazard. He literally saved my life & home from a potential explosion. Cody's professionalism & honest, quick action were remarkable. He even went above and beyond, driving to Richmond on a Saturday morning to get a replacement that afternoon. He took care of everything!"

"A plumber came to my home and said he could not clear the blockage and that I needed to replace part of my main sewer line. I called ECR to get a quote for this job. Jeremy called me back and came out less than 2 hours later. He offered to try and clear the blockage and said if he was unable to, then there would be no charge. He then looked around my yard and found a cleanout under my house. Three plumbers had previously told me that I didn't have a cleanout by the house and that it would cost $1500-$2200 to install one. Next, Jeremy went to work on the blockage and he cleared it out! He located the area of the block and told me that I would only need to replace a small section, about a fourth of what I was told. I was quoted $3600-$4500 to install a new sewer line section and Jeremy charged me less than half of what I had previously paid to clear a blockage. I will probably still need to replace part of my main sewer line, but now I have some time to make the plans, and needless to say, ECR will be the ones I call. Jeremy was professional, polite, hard-working and he got the job done. His assistant was just as good. A nightmare turned into something I can manage, thanks to ECR. They rock!!! I have dealt with three other plumbers and my experiences were one was okay but unable to do the job, one was late and unable to do the job, and one charged me more than 3 times what I paid ECR. If you need a plumber, then call ECR for good service, honest advice, and a reasonable price. Ask for Jeremy! Thanks!!!😀"

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

It is generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage for a short time, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. While the level of sewer gas is usually low enough to only cause minor symptoms, prolonged inhalation can lead to headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous, and high concentrations of methane—a component of sewer gas—can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. If you smell sewer gas in your home, ventilate the area and call a professional to locate, assess, and fix the problem, as it will not go away on its own.

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.

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. 

If the toilet is overflowing but there’s no clog, that’s a sign that the issue is deeper in the system, and plunging may not help. A blockage in your home’s plumbing, the plumbing vent, or even city sewer lines can cause toilets to overflow. The issue could also be the toilet itself if the filler float isn’t set to the correct height or if parts are damaged or worn out.

There is conflicting advice on whether to leave a baking soda and vinegar mixture in a drain overnight. Some sources suggest it can be effective for tough clogs, recommending that you flush the drain with warm water in the morning as part of a monthly cleaning routine. However, other experts advise against leaving the mixture in for extended periods, as its caustic nature could corrode drainpipes if used too often or left in for too long.
