They were recommended by my insurance company. After the initial work they came back to tell us all of the extra work they were going to have to do, I got a second opinion that recommended against the work they proposed.
Description of Work: They checked and replaced part of my sewer line.

Overall experience was very poor. They were eager and nice on the front end when giving me an estimate, but then the problems began. They replaced the clay pipe properly. But when they inspected the back line, they told me the entire line needed to be replaced and it would cost $10,000. They tried to pressure me into doing it site unseen. At least, they suggested, the line needed to be hydrojetted, which would cost $1,000 and a clean-out needed to be installed for $500. I agreed to that work, but not to the full pipe replacement. Instead, I had an independent inspector come out to look at the line. He looked at it and told me that the line hadn't actually been hydrojetted at all. He also said it probably didn't need to be replaced. Much more happened, but at the end of the day, they tried to suggest expensive work that didn't need to be done, they charged me for work they hadn't done, and the did some of their work wrong and had to re-do it. And no remorse in being caught.
Description of Work: Replaced 25 feet of clay pipe to poly pip using pip-bursting method, hydrojetted the lateral and drain to back house, installed two clean-outs on back drain.

A very expensive job, but I was given an initial discount and then a 10% senior discount.
Description of Work: Replaced clay tile with single flex pipe to sidewalk; blew in epoxy substance to create new pipe from sidewalk to main sewer in center of street, avoiding excavation.
