"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 sewer cleanout typically looks like a white or gray PVC pipe with a removable cap. It's often located either in your yard or basement, depending on your home's plumbing configuration. The cleanout pipe is designed to provide easy access to your sewer system for maintenance and inspections. It may be flush with the ground or slightly elevated, making it distinguishable from other pipes. When you remove the cap, you can access the sewer line directly or determine its direction, which can be helpful when you need to locate your sewer line from your house to the street.

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.

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.

No, it’s best not to leave baking soda and vinegar in the drain overnight. While using baking soda and vinegar can be helpful to clear out hair and debris in your bathtub drain, this mixture might start to corrode your drainpipes due to its caustic nature if left in the drain too long or used too often. 

It’s generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. In most cases, the level of sewer gas you’re exposed to in a home will be low enough to only cause minor symptoms, though high levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous. If you’re smelling sewer gas in your home, it’s important to locate, assess, and fix the problem, because it won’t go away on its own.
