"Always late or never turned up, he gave every excuse under the sun. Workmanship was very poor, he always left a mess that we ended up cleaning up afterwards. Still not finished the job after 4 months and we ended up hiring someone else to finish and redo the poor remodel and trim."

"We had this plumber here last February 2020 and we were pleased with him. He said he could redo the plumbing so it would be neater as the guys that had put in the water neutralizer had made quite a menagerie of pipes and etc. He also told us that it appeared that the pressure tank had a small leak and we should think about getting one in advance so we could replace it when needed. We called him for another repair this December 2021 and left messages on 12/10, 12/11 and 12/13 at the 715-453-8240 and he did not return the calls. Thinking that the number may have changed I searched online and found a cell number which I called and got an answer. I told him we had 3 leaks on the 13th of December and he said he couldn't come until the 17th so we limped along until then. When he got here he seemed crabby, he didn't answer my questions(some I asked 3 times) and he did the repairs which included two pipe leaks, a leaking pressure switch and he hooked up the new pressure tank. After they left we ran the water and the pump was short cycling. Come to find out he never set the pressure switch correctly so it was set at 40/30 so the pump was cycling off and on continuously when we ran the water. I should've stopped payment on the check. We adjusted the pressure switch and corrected the pressure tank as well. Also, he didn't have any 1 inch pipe so I found a piece of new 1 inch pipe that we had, then he needed a 1 inch to 3/4 inch tee that he didn't have so he had to go to Merrill to get that, we're in Gleason I was thinking, "what do you have in that fancy truck if you don't have these parts?" Then he charged us for the time it took for him to go to Merrill and back too yet. Very disappointed in his work. Will not be calling him again."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.

Water leaking through your basement floor is a good sign of a clogged drain, but another sign of a clogged basement floor drain can include unpleasant odors coming from the drain. Also, hearing gurgling noises when water drains from the basement or having other plumbing fixtures (like toilets or other drains) backing up is a good indicator.

Roto-Rooter does not charge by the hour, so the quote you get after your in-person consultation should cover the whole project. This includes the time it takes a technician to get to your house and the time it takes to complete the job. For context, a plumber will charge anywhere from $45 to $200 per hour, but you may also pay a service fee or flat fee. 

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.

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.
