Do. NOT. RECOMMEND. We heard glowing reviews, but that must have been from over a decade ago because how IKES is treating customers and their tasks is abysmal. 1st job) done with 3 guys, we requested a camera. Camera Never happened. They "cleared" drain. We paid $380. We hired them 1-2 weeks later to hydrojet our French drain. After 1 attempt they said they couldn't accommodate the roots, charged us , and we paid $450 dollars for the second job. 1 week later (or 3 weeks since original clog) original clog clogs again. I call, say "yall were here 3 weeks ago, can you come fix this again? Can we use a camera!?" Yes they'll come back out "for $185" to finish what they didn't finish initially. 1 guy comes very late, think 3 hours after ETA at about 6:30 pm (because when he arrived at 5:30, he didn't have the draining equipment, or the camera, and when he returned at 6:30 pm he had still forgotten the camera) He couldn't release the clog. He was new and didn't have plumbing experience. He said he had been a plumber and with Ikes for 3 months. He got the machine stuck. At 7:30 pm he left saying " we'll be back in the morning to finish clearing" Never came back, never called. We called another plumber. He arrived within hours. He snaked the drain. He used his camera pre snake and post snake. He showed us the blockage. He was finished in under an hour. He charged $200 and I paid and tipped him on the spot. 2 months later I get my FIRST invoice from IKES for the 3rd job left undone. I CALLED ikes the following day, they said they would have the office manager call me back. NO BODY EVER CALLED ME BACK. But, I DID get word from IKES through a second party! They had sent my bill to COLLECTIONS. 5 days after I received my first invoice from IKES for their incomplete 3rd job (2 months after the initial 3rd call to IKES), I got a notice from Capital Accounts collections agency. At least The collections agency gave me 30 days to work with the issue! Way more time than IKES gives their clients to PAY for their shifty and incomplete jobs! IKES has a Sneaky and irresponsible way to collect money from their clients, for jobs they don't have the skills to accommodate. There are so many sewer services, if you save heartache, time , energy and money reading this note, then that's all I'm hoping for. Best wishes!

It went very poorly, due to the fact that they did not have the the knowledge to fix the problems.
Description of Work: The work that was being done was very basic plumbing that required very little knowledge.

Description of Work: The water line from the street to my house sprung a leak. I called Ike's based on a relative's suggestion. Mark and Ray showed up to assess the situation and were helpful in identifying the potential issue. They scheduled a time to come back the next day and give their final estimated cost. They were 1.5 hours late arriving the next day with no phone call to let me know when to expect them. Once they did arrive, they did nothing but reaffirm their initial assessment of the problem (waste of my time). They then said they had to go back to the office and get back with me about an estimate. They didn't call back until about 3 hours later and then said they couldn't start the work until a week later due to the holidays (which was understandable). On the day the work was scheduled to begin, it was raining. I was expecting them to delay their work until conditions got better but I never received a phone call that morning to let me know that they would be late or that they wouldn't be starting the work that day. I had to call their office myself and speak with their receptionist in order to find out when they were planning on re-scheduling. The next day, conditions were better and they were scheduled to come in the morning (between 9:30am and 10:00am). They arrived around 9:30am and started the work but then after about 25 mins the two gentlemen working left without saying anything to me. They didn't come back until about 2 hours later to resume the job. They pointing out exactly what had caused the leak and explained how things like this happen (which was helpful). However, during my conversation with the worker, he took his muddy gloves off and threw them into the mud puddle in my yard and then covered them up with mud using his foot. I had another issue inside of my house with the main line leaking and asked them to check it out when they were done in the front yard. They said they were breaking for lunch and wanted to clean their boots before coming inside the house but they would be right back to take a look at it. After 4 hours, I finally had to call the office and ask them to come back. The workers (different from the 2 that worked on the yard) showed up and seemed very short and irritated that they had to make another visit to my house. They then proceeded to charge me 1/2 the cost of a normal service charge to come inside and tighten some connections. The workers were beyond unprofessional and the office staff was not helpful in anyway. I was able to get the 1/2 of a service call charge taken off my bill, but only after I explained what happened. I will never use Ike's again and have been telling my friends and family to stay away from them.

Tech determined if clog was from house or or further down the sewer line. Once he saw it was from the house he ran the auger in that direction. After about 15 minutes he showed me that tree roots were the the problem. Once line was clear we ran water for several minutes to be sure drain would flow properly.
Description of Work: Shower and toilet were backing up. Ike's unclogged sewer drain line.

They were prompt and punctual. However, a young guy came to do the work and I didn't think he was really knowledgeable.

My husband decided to repair a leak under the kitchen sink (connected to the dishwasher). This was on a Saturday. Many trips to the hardware store and the day turning to evening, we needed to get the water turned on again, but the leak was not fixed. So, we called Ike's who, considering it was a Saturday night, came in excellent time and had the repair made in no time at all. Very pleased and relieved!

We called on Tues afternoon, and someone was here on Wed afternoon. This is AMAZING considering we live in Fowler, and, usually, getting someone to come this far -- well, it just doesn't happen like that. They diagnosed our problem -- a broken sewer pipe in the basement -- and collected a deposit, promising to have it fixed by Fri. At 11:30 on Fri, a different set of workers returned and worked for an hour and a half. When done, we had a completely replaced sewer pipe from top to bottom -- even going down under/through our foundation and for several feet into the pipe that runs to the city sewer. Before leaving, they promised to send back the original crew from Wed to be sure we didn't also have a clog. We did. A little before 4:00 (on a Fri afternoon!), the guys came and cleared the clog, making sure everything was draining properly before they left. We are so happy to have the problems fixed, and we can not say enough good stuff about Ike's!

Began the day by calling a different service who strung me along for about 3 hours (separate review left for that company, not quite as positive as this one). Called Ike's at 11:00AM on July 4th. Within an hour had Keith at my house and my line was cleared. Keith was very polite and professional and did a fine job and the price charged was very fair, especially since it was a national holiday. Will definitely call Ike's again if I ever need to have a line cleared. I hightly recommend them.
Description of Work: Sewer line was plugged between the toilet and septic tank. Snaked the line to clear it.

I called Ike's on Easter Sunday. My toilets wouldn't flush nor would water go down my sinks. They were at my house in 30 minutes ( I live 30 min away from them). Very fast service. The technician was very friendly and knowledgeable. He ran a rooter through my outside cleanout. He flushed my toilet several times. Everything was draining fine. He wrote up my bill for $160.00. I asked him how much was weekend and holiday charge. He explained they did not charge extra for weekends or holidays. That is the same price everyone gets any time of the day irreguardless of a holiday. I was very impressed. I will use their services from now on.

After trying to clean it out myself over the weekend on Sunday I gave up the ghost and called Ike's. They were there within about an hour and they did not charge an extra fee for weekend service which I thought was very nice. I thought they were professional and brought big equipment. They used a water jet to clear out the line and were successful in resolving the problem. I thought that the price was pretty high for the 40 minutes of work that they had to perform though they did have a pretty big piece of equipment to do the water jetting. Overall it was a good experience other than the high price so if I have an urgent situation again in the future I will use them.
