He arrived on time and cleaned out the sewer line that was from the main line back into the house. He also ran an auger into the bathtub and toilet to be sure they were cleaned out and working properly. He removed a lot of tree roots which he bagged up and discarded for me. He also checked the main sewer line for tree roots but didn't find any. He did a great job as always. I was thankful to get the work done the same day I called him, in fact he was here in less than 4 hours after calling him.
Description of Work: The sewer backed up into my bathtub and overflowed from the toilet . I called Chris Bammes, owner of Drain King and he came out a few hours later and unplugged the sewer line. The sewer line had blockage from the sewer back into the house that was full of a lot of tree roots. He also ran an auger into the bathtub and the toilet. He also checked the main line for tree roots but didn't pull anything out. This work was done on 03/29/2012. He had cleaned the main sewer line out earlier on 12/14/2011. With all of the hot dry weather we have had and the tree being close to the house the tree roots are a major problem growing in the sewer lines. The tree in the back yard was planted directly over the sewer line and the tree roots have to be cleaned out every 6 to 8 months. I have been using this company for many years and he is always very professional, clean clothes and nice appearance, on time, and does quality work. He always bags up the stinky tree roots and discards them for me. Another service he provided was when my daughter smelt gas in my home and called the gas company and they found 6 leaks in the gas lines to my hot water tank and furnace which are in my basement. I called Drain King and Chris came out, located the leaks and fixed them on 09/20/2007. My daughter, mother, and brothers use Drain King whenever they need a plumber. You can count on him to do the work in a timely manner and get the job done right. I highly recommend him to anyone needing their sewer cleaned out or any plumbing work done. In fact when I remodel my bathroom and kitchen Drain King will be doing the plumbing work for me.

My sewer backed up into my bathroom. He cleaned my sewer line out. He doesn't have any employees. It is just him. I have to have my tree roots cleaned out of my sewer line at least one, some times twice, a year. He is going to come back out and do that. He replaced my water line as well. I will be using him again.
