In December they came out to clear out my sewer. In march my basement flooded again, and they said I needed a lot of work done. They also said they could not fix the problem because tree roots grow. I hired a different company to do the job, and have had no problems since. A $100 job turned into a $500 job.
Description of Work: They were hired to open my sewer line.

We had told her at the time of service, she had a broken line. She did also open a case (94458713) with the BBB, and they closed the case in September 2013. (She declined to pursue matter).

I had to leave an message on the answering machine and it took a while to get a call back. Not a big problem since I was not in an emergency situation. It took 3 business days to get an appointment, and the workers were a no show on the day scheduled. I called the office and they were rescheduled for first thing they next day. The arrived as promised on the second day. The workers were courteous and easy to deal with. They called ahead of arriving per my instructions. Worked hard to get the job done. I would highly recommend this company even though there were a few glitches.
Description of Work: Rodded sewer to street and cleared line from washing machine.

Waste of my time.
Description of Work: Called them to clean a grease trap. They said the earliest they can come out was in a week. Highly recommended, so I thought it was worth the wait. Had a friend wait at my house the morning they said they were coming. They never showed up. Called at 11am to see what was going on...all I got was a machine (and multiple times thereafter). Thanks for totally wasting my time.

Excellent. Steve filled me in on what was going on the morning of the bad flooding in the area, and told me it wasn't my sewers specifically backing up, but rather the city sewers. So he didn't rod out our sewers that day, but they checked back a little bit later to ask if I wanted it done as a precaution. I usually have them do it once a year anyway so I said yes. As usual, he came out promptly, did the work, and was pleasant. I call them for most of my sewer needs.
Description of Work: Checked city sewers and basement when sewers started backing up. Also, came back on a separate date to rod out sewers.

The job was scheduled one day after the call. It was not an emergency, but they were responsive and prompt. The job is not one anyone wants to have done but these men were prompt, knowledgeable, courteous. They rodded through a stoppage near the house and then went through tree roots 100 feet further down the drain.
Description of Work: The two workmen rodded 100 feet of sewer.

Called ILLINOIS SEWERAGE & DRAINAGE CO for a estimate for a yearly maintenance sewer rodding. Cindy was very nice, gave estimate, and scheduled a time to come out in two days. Cindy called me the day before service to advise a 1 hr. time change, Very Appreciated!!! Steve then came out on scheduled day and performed the electric rodding on the sewer line. Did not take him long, rodded right from the down spout drain. I found Steve to be nice too and made the job quick. I did wind up paying just a little more ($10) than the estimate.
Description of Work: A yearly preventive maintenance sewer cleaning on a common townhouse main sewer line.

I have these guys inspect and rod out my sewer lines every year, and they always do a great job. This year was no exception. They are extremely nice and professional on the phone, schedule very fast appointments, and the guys who come out to perform the (very dirty) job couldn't be more professional and pleasant. These guys continue to be a real ''go to'' service provider for us.

This company is great. They lived up to their reputation of honesty. The office person was helpful in diagnosing my problem over the phone, assuring me (based on described symptoms) that I would not need to have my main line excavated; and at most catch basin would need rodding out. An appointment was scheduled promptly and when I needed to re-schedule, the appointment was set for a time convenient to me. I would highly recommend this company to others with sewer problems.
Description of Work: I contacted company because my basement was flooding. I thought I needed to have my catch-basin rodded out. When company investigated they found the catch basin had been eliminated, and upon further investigation found that my gutters were hooked into my basement drainage system causing basement to flood when it rained hard. Workmen explained how I can re-route my gutters to avoid flooding in the future. Company did not charge me for coming out to the house.
