They had to dig through a few big tree roots to access my plumbing and run a new line from the meter at the street all the way to my house. They also recommended that I take down the tree as it would only cause further problems.
Description of Work: I called them out because I had a leak in my pipe out in the driveway. The house had galvanized plumbing from the street to the house. They came out and did a great job for me.

I have used Seagraves for 12 years to pump my two septic systems. They are expensive, but they always get the job done, arrive on time and I've even been working with the same crew over those 12 years, which obviously says alot about the company. This year, I used them to pum one field and that went fine. They also repaired a "containment box" and line on another field that had apparently been damaged during some rennovation work we had done. This too was very expensive but they got it done, tried hard to tear up as little concrete and sod as possible and things now work well. You get what you pay for (but it still hurts!)

First of all let start out by saying, at the time of this review, I had just had a pretty major surgery. Needless to say that I was feeling pretty helpless. I called Seagraves and he said he had one promised call to answer and I'd be next. I think he may have been the owner. Maybe Mike Seagraves? Mike showed up with one helper. F.Y.I. I had a similar problem like this a few years back. The company I used at that time assumed that the downstairs half bath toilet was to be used as a clean out. I guess since it was the lowest point in the house, and that I was in a two story on a slab. I don't know. I also think they thought the sewer line ran out under my driveway to the street. 1. Mr. Seagraves started out be putting together a Wet Vac that I had just purchased. I was too week from my surgery to even do this. 2. He reset the downstairs toilet. i.e. cleaned it using the wet vac. The downstairs toilet was the point where the backup showed up. Need I say more? 3. He located my outside clean out using , using camera. A.K.A. sonar contraption. Sonar contraption are my words. He called it a camera. 4. He used the camera in conjunction with 50 feet of snake to locate blockage. By doing this he also was able to determine the direction of the sewer line, and where it made its way to the street. The blockage was near the street and was 12 feet down. F.Y.I. the sewer line did not run under the driveway. 5. He used two different heads on the snake to break through the roots. For a minute I didn't think he was going to be able to get through. He did all of this for $450.00. I find this be be very reasonable. Not to mention I now know all of the information pertaining to my sewer line after it leaves the house. I even have a clean out. That's something a previous plumber couldn't tell me.The bottom line is Mr. Seagraves knows what he's doing and his rates are reasonable. I can't ask for any more than that.
Description of Work: 1. Used camera /sonar to find Clean Out on the outside of house.2. Reset toilet3. Used clean Out, 50ft of snake, and two types of snake heads to clean away roots in sewer line near end of property line.

Seagraves came in and asked what I wanted to have fixed. After looking at both problems the plumber suggested he could make me a deal on replacing the garbage disposer and fixing the upstairs problem. He quoted what I felt to be a fair price and I told him to go ahead. He, and his helper, had the job done in short order with no problems. I felt he did a good job and I got a good deal. I will use them again.
Description of Work: I originally wanted to have the garbage disposer removed and replace with standard plumbing and have a leak fixed in the upstairs sink plumbing.

I was quoted a price of $195, because the going rate I researched was 180-195, so I decided to go with them because of the high ratings on Angie's List. I received a bill for $495. I called and was told I misunderstood. I wouldn't have gone with them if it was $495 when I had other estimates for less.

Response from Seagraves Plumbing Septic and Sewer
Without a doubt, this was definitely a misunderstanding. We felt that the customer had called several septic tank companies and possibly got us mixed up with someone else. We would NEVER intentionally quote a cost for our service and then change when we arrived at the job site. We do apologize if there was a misunderstanding, however, we are VERY careful to make sure a customer has no questions about our prices before we arrive on the job site. Any of our customers will confirm that for the previous five years our cost to pump a septic tank has been between $ 475.00 and $ 495.00. Thank you for allowing us to clear up this matter. Please call us at (404)792-2221 with any concerns.

They were honest. I had another plumber come out and they estimated $50,000 for the work. I got a second opinion and Seagraves said there was nothing wrong with anything. Everything was perfect with them. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Their price was very fair. I would definitely use them in the future.

I was really satisfied with the way they handled the job. Initially, Mr. Seagraves, the owner of the company, came out to survey the situation and he was able to unclog the drain that same day. He arranged to have a crew come out and do the repair on the main drain line that was corroded. They called me promptly and scheduled the return trip and they came out on time and completed it in a timely manner and for what I thought was a reasonable price. They were very professional and very courteous throughout the entire process.
Description of Work: They repaired the drain in the outer room of my kitchen which was corroded. They also repaired a 4 inch drain that went into my sewer line that corroded. They also cleaned the piping that went into the sewer line and unclogged it.

as noted above, everything went as promised.
Description of Work: They showed up when they said they would, were very professional, did what we asked them to do, and were very clean (no dirty footprints). I have no idea if what I paid was more than normal or about right and, frankly, do not care. To have a service company that met all the criteria listed above was worth the price. I would definitely use them again.

They are always my regular plumbers and they have installed hot water heaters and fixed drains and they always do a great job. They are on time, reliable, courteous and do what they say they are going to do. I don’t remember the price but it was reasonable because I got a couple of estimates on that.

I love them. They are a great company. I have used them for years. They are always courteous, on time, and knowledgeable. They come to your house, and I believe they charge by the hour. If they only come for 15 minutes, they charge for an hour. However, they also ask what else they can do to fill up the time. They are well-dressed. I can't say enough good things about them. I really appreciated their service. It's a quality experience; they are well worth what they charge.

Had had the root problem several years before, paid RotoRooter something like $600. Seagraves' estimate and then final price were better. Service was friendly, on-time, efficient. A couple of days later, I had the outside spigot issue. Called to make appt, the guys came out and fixed the spigot quickly, asked if there was anything else I needed done since i was paying for the whole hour. I had a loose drain cap which they promptly fixed. Overall, it was a positive experience.
Description of Work: Needed roots removed from main drain. Also, broken spigot outside.

Excellent ... Seagraves are pros ... their price was in-line with my other quotes. Were also more creative with their solution ... used underground directional boring which limited impact on trees and my neighbor's driveway. Chuck came out to my house 3 or 4 different times to scope out the work, meet with the county sewer people, etc. The guys actually doing the work were professional, courteous and finished on time. Highly recommended.

While edging around a flower bed I discovered a large sink hole above the area of the septic tank. I called Seagraves and they had someone out the next day to pump the tank. It had not been pumped in 32 years. A crew arrived several days later to dig around the end of the tank where the distribution box is located. Chuck Seagraves was familiar with the type of installations in our area and diagnosed the problem before even digging. They discovered a collapsed concrete distribution box. I was phoned at my office to tell me when I could view the repairs before they covered the pipes.

I called them & got a set price of $475 over the phone if they can dig with shovels to get to the underground tank. If they had to bring in a backhoe, extra equipment, etc., the price would go up-depending on what was needed to get access to the tank. I scheduled an appt. for after 2:30pm the following Monday, they arrived at 3pm, found the tank with shovels, pumped the tank and replaced the dirt. The 2 workmen were very efficient, had no problem locating the tank, etc., and were able to answer most of my questions. The whole process took under an hour. The only issue was that in order to be able to pay by credit card, they had to write down my credit card number, exp. date AND the card's security code on a pad of multi-copied forms this made me a little nervous about the card's security. In the past, other workmen had a portable device or cell phone to call in this information directly. Next time I will pay them by check.

OUR SERVICE MEN DO ASK FOR THE PARTICULAR INFORMATION THAT HE MENTIONED BUT ANOTHER PROCEDURE COULD BE FOLLOWED IF THE CUSTOMER PREFERS. OUR SERVICE MEN ARE RADIO EQUIPPED AND CAN CONTACT OUR OFFICE WITHIN SECONDS. BY DOING THIS THE CUSTOMER COULD GIVE THE INFORMATION DIRECTLY TO A SPECIFIED PERSON IN THE OFFICE AND WOULD NEVER BE SEEN BY ANYONE ELSE OR OUR SERVICE MAN COULD CONTACT THE OFFICE VIA RADIO AND ASK THE OFFICE PERSON TO CALL THE CUSTOMER ON THE PHONE AND THE TRANSACTION COULD BE MADE THAT WAY. WE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE THE CUSTOMER FEEL COMFORTABLE AND AT EASE WITH THIS TRANSACTION.

We had this problem on the weekend and called, not expecting to actually get the owner himself on the phone. The man was really nice and had a plumber come out that day to take care of the situation. We were charged only a service call and really appreciated the professionalism and dedication of this company. We only use their services now and highly recommend them.
Description of Work: We had a sink that was leaking and had them come out and repair it. They took about 40 minutes or so and then cleaned up and took the waste away with them when they left.
