It was excellent. Edward was exactly on time, the work was performed quickly and efficiently and the price was exactly as quoted. This was performed on a Sunday morning at 9am.
Description of Work: The sewer pipe was blocked (roots etc..) from the house to the road. This is an extremely long distance. Roto Rooter quoted over $600 for the same job.

Very professional, Ed and Jason were courteous, friendly and efficient - careful to keep my house clean and unmarked. I really appreciated this aspect, as I have had damage done by another plumber in the past! This company was also very responsive and timely in setting up an appointment. I will be sure to recommend them and to use them again.
Description of Work: The garbage disposal side of my sink would not drain or respond to the usual drain openers, so I used Angie's to find a recommended plumber. When I rang Drain Masters, Ed answered and made arrangements to come by within the hour - as soon as he finished his current job. He was here in less than an hour, with his apprentice, took things apart, assessed the situation and showed me why I would need a new disposal. Details aside, when I looked at everything, he was right on target. We discussed replacement choices and the guys headed to OSH and brought back exactly what I wanted. Ed replaced the disposal, discovered the new disposal had a different angle of setup and did the needed replacement of pipes to accommodate for this. He thoroughly tested for flow and leakage, cleaned up, gave me a quick repiping estimate, then gave me the bill for almost 2 hours of work and one new disposal plus new pipes.

Called, Ed answered, made appointment for two days later. Ed and assistant arrived on time, (Area was ready for them.) I explained job. There was no known clog, just wanted to snake the drain as a preventive cleaning BEFORE any clog developed. Had been a few years since was done. Ed quoted price of $80 and I agreed. While Ed made other phone calls, prepared my bill, took my payment, his assistant went to work with electric snake (rooter). He was finished in about 10 minutes, packed up, and he and Ed left.
Description of Work: Snaked 25 feet of house drains via clean out access in garage.

They were efficient and competent. They did the job properly. Everything was fine. We added some tubing to the drain out so as to be able to find it easily the next time. We did a lot of digging to locate it. I was quite satisfied with their responsiveness.
Description of Work: They cleaned our drain 6 months ago. They found the cleanout, and then did a good job on using it.

Thanks to all who reviewed this company on Angie's List, I tried Drain Masters based on the number of reviews and the overall rating. I was VERY happy with the initial call -- "we'll have someone there within the next hour" and this promise was kept! The service was effective (no more clog), efficient (took less than 20 minutes) and friendly -- can't beat it. Thank you, Drain Masters. Your on my Favorites list now. :-)

This is an unusual and difficult problem since the pipes are in buried in cement, over 50 feet long and incorporating many angles and valves. We called Ed Sylvester (had used him before). He responded prompltly and after 4 hours of hard work, including getting into hip high water, was able to clear the pipes. This required using pressure washing and snakes in both directions. The work was difficult, time consuming and required inginuity (not the usual job). Throughout all this frustrating and dirty work he remained cheerful and completed the job leaving a working system.
Description of Work: Two long pipes in our koi pond leading from the pond to the waterfall & to the pump became clogged with pine needles & dirt making the sysytem inoperable.

In the midst of a bathroom remodel, I noticed water from the kitchen sink backing up into the shower pan (which was due for inspection). Drainmasters came out right away, cleaned out the drain and noticed that the clean out near the front door(behind a bush) had backed up recently (we missed this). I asked that he clean out the line to the street, as well, since this was an annual problem (roots). All this was done in a timely and professional manner. I will be calling Drainmasters again when necessary.

Saturday morning we discovered the sewer line was plugged and not draining. I tried to snake the drain, but could not get far enough down the line to reach the plug. Called Drain Master about 1 PM and they said they could be here around 3 PM. I called again about 3:30 and they said they were just about finished where they were and would get here as soon as possible. They arrived just before 5 PM. Once on site, they had to remove a toilet (they had asked on the phone if the house has a 3" cleanout that is required for the larger router head, it does not). They did a good job and cleared out some root growth. They replaced the toilet when finished. There were 2 minor issues that they could have done better: the toilet was not tightened down to the floor as tight as it should have been (I tightened it down a few weeks later), and they could have been a little better on the clean up (a couple "dirt"? smears on the wall and door frame). Otherwise they were very good, and pleasant to deal with and did not charge extra for a Saturday visit (I don't know if that's common, but it wouldn't have surprised me).

He came out spent about 15 minutes with the snake. Gave up and said the is possible object in the line. Took my $80 cash and split. The next day I call another company he cleared the the line with no problem. Said it was grease build up. Spent about a hour to make sure the problem was solved. He even sold me special chemical to prevent the grease build up problem. I will never use this company ever again (Flake).

The technician was unable to clear the stoppage. He tried snaking with two machines both from the sink and vents on the roof. When he couldn't clear up the stoppage, he said I had something crazy with the plumbing. He suggested the next step was to tear into the walls and fix the bad pipes. I decided I would do any tearing into walls and investigated the routing of the drain pipes. I then called another company and their technician was able to successfully snake and clear the drain.

Ed showed up on time. I was given a call 1/2 hour before he arrived. He ran the snake to clear the kitchen sink; this also cleared up the bathtub. I was charged only for one job, even though I was informed that the bathtub would cost an additional $30 if more work was involved. The job is guaranteed for 60 days.

Fantastic -- fast, efficient, and polite. Answered the phone personally and was here within an hour (somewhat by luck -- he was on a job one city over). No attempt to sell other products like some of the big name competition -- just did the work, did it well, and was off. Drain Masters will definitely get my call the next time a drain plugs up!

Woke up to a stopped-up kitchen sink. Called in the a.m. and asked them to come after 2 p.m. They showed up right at 2 and snaked the drain from the rooftop. I paid them and they left! Overall it was painless. Although I was taken aback when the plumber, while looking for the clean-out next to the house, kicked and dug in my flowerbed with his boot! I hope the violets recover.

I called them Friday afternoon, they said they'd be out sat by noon, and if they could get there earlier they would call. Waited all morning for them, at 2:30pm I called and left a voicemail. Never heard back from them. We had people over for dinner, and they couldn't use the bathroom sinks. Terrible customer service. If you can't make it, at least have the courtesy to call so I could call someone else.

Ed arrived within 24 hours after I called to request his assistance. We scheduled to have the work done between 8:30 - 9:00am. I was very impressed with a 30 minute window. It is obvious that this company respects that I have better things to do on my day off then to sit around waiting to have someone show up. Ed arrived at 8:30am sharp. He took 45 minutes to perform all 4 repairs, and we talked about him coming in to re-pipe behind the wall, when we put in the new master bathroom. Everything works well now ... and my wife is going to be very happy. Thanks Ed !!!
Description of Work: We had a shower that was inoperable for 2 years, both bathroom sinks were very slow to drain, and the master toilet was slow to refill the tank.
