"My experience with this company was not so great. We called them on a Thursday afternoon to come out and look at our furnace which was dripping water. I was thrilled when they said they could come out that same day. The tech arrived and diagnosed our issue very quickly, but the part had to be ordered so they would have to come back the next day to install it. The part was called a collector box and it basically is a large rectangular piece of plastic housing with a gasket that collects condensate. It was leaking from both bottom corners. He quoted us $800 to replace it. I thought that price was kind of steep, but whatever, sure go ahead and get our heat working. The part arrived the next day and the same tech from the previous day arrived shortly after to install. This is where things start to go downhill. After he gets it all buttoned up, he announces that the new collector box didn't come with an exterior gasket. He claimed he couldn't remove the old gasket from the old collector box because it was too deteriorated. The manufacturer doesn't sell the gasket separately, but he'd be willing to replace our perfectly functioning motor (which comes with a new gasket which is what we really needed) for the low low price of $1900 additional dollars. Better yet, he suggested we replace our whole furnace for somewhere in the neighborhood of $6000. He even offered us financing with a monthly payment plan! So an $800 repair has suddenly ballooned into $6000. Something didn't seem right so I did a quick Google search, found the schematic for our furnace, located the part number for the gasket and ordered it online. THE PART COST $6.00!! We advised the tech that we were not prepared to spend such a large sum of money and to please put the old collector box back on our furnace and leave. As it turns out, it was NOT the collector box that needed replacing. The box itself was in great condition. It was the INTERIOR gasket that had worn out and was leaking water. The EXTERIOR gasket that goes between the motor and the collector box did not even need replacing. However for 6 whole dollars plus shipping, we received both gaskets for our unit and our 8 year old furnace is working great now with no leaks. Also the motor that they quoted us $1900 to replace unnecessarily, only cost $125 on the same website brand new with the gasket. I understand there are labor costs involved with any repair, but Christ! And here's the kicker, it's been more than a week since this whole fiasco took place and they haven't refunded our money as of yet. Matter of fact, there was a new charge from them that appeared on our credit card statement today. May have to fight it through the credit card company, who knows. Our basement has constant video surveillance so this was all captured on video. Needless to say, we will not ever call this company again to repair anything and could not in good conscience recommend their service to anyone. Proceed at your own risk."

Drain cleaning services FAQs
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
On average, a plumber will take 30 minutes to two hours to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn’t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.
It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.
In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.
Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.
