Description of Work: I have lived in my home for over 14 years and never had the sump pump inspected. Who knew this was something one should have done on a regular basis. The crew approved on time and upon completing tier inspection pointed out I had a very outdated sump pump. It was the original installed when the house was build. Explained how the new sump pumps differ and the benefit to having a new one installed. I asked about a battery back-up as well and they explained how they work and the process to install one. I got the entire package which they were able to install three days later. The entire process was completed timely. I would use them again for other services.

Description of Work: The job was a bit more complicated but they replaced it just fine. Flooding in the basement this year required more than usual from the sump pump! In fact, the old one had died before the repair man got to the house.

It was good. They didn't actually do any work. I just wanted to make sure that the system was running properly and the battery was fully charged. They were good. They were late one hour because of previous work but they did inform me. They did come within the time frame. The price was good. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I used The Drain Cleaner for a checkup for the sump pump to check the performance of the system.

They did a great job- I bought the house 3 years ago and the prior owners appear to have neglected a lot of things that needed to be taken care of. Plus my kids seem to get lots of things that don't belong in the toilet down there- belt buckles, legos, rubber duckies, etc. They said there was clearly a large clog but they got it out and I should have less issues with toilet's flooding from now on.
Description of Work: Flushed the sewer line.

Plumbers arrived on time. Had a little confusion at first, because cable end not marked from last job and was hard to find. Snaked out the drain without any problems and in a reasonable amount of time. Plumbers were pleasant, friendly and answered all my questions. I would recommend contractor to others.
Description of Work: They ran 80ft. of cable down my main drain. Did not have any issues. I had this done as a precaution because house is over 30yrs old. I had this job done mainly because of the "deal price".

Arrived on time and snaked main sewer line. I noticed another pipe (from kitchen) that I thought should also be cleaned out. We negotiated an acceptable price then that pipe was snaked. Good job completed.

Received a call from my tenant at about 4pm on Saturday that the basement toliet and shower was backed up and everytime a first floor toilet was flushed, the sewage would get higher. Went on Angies List and made several calls to find a plumber who could come out that night. Heather was very pleasant and said someone could be there in about 2 hours. They arrived quicker than that and fixed the problem and gave good advice as well. I was so pleased I asked if they could come to my house and look at an outdoor water pipe that has been failing every spring since we moved into the home in 2011. He asked if was copper and it is, so he then said it should be iron since the solder used in copper pipes will fail in the cold. That's exactly what had been happening. The previous 2 plumbers in 2011 and 2012 never said anything. They arrived the next day on Sunday afternoon and replaced the copper pipe with iron. I also asked about cleaning out my main sewer line on Saturday since I wasn't sure when it was last done, if ever. This was completed on Sunday and the noted cost was for all three jobs. They were very polite, on-time and reasonably priced. I would recommend this company to my friends and family.
Description of Work: Unclogged main sewer line in my tenants house then did same to my home as well as replace a pipe for my outdoor faucet.

Our toilet in our basement was clogged, so of course I tried to use a plunger and it didn't work. My wife was talking to a friend on the phone at the time in which she (the friend) recommended she had used this company before. It was about 5:30pm when I called and they said they could have someone to me between 7pm-8pm. I've called other companies for service before where they promised to be out between certain times and don't call or show till hours later BUT to my surprise the technician called at about 7:15pm to let us know he was on his way. We he arrived, he covered his shoes with those blue boot covers, he was very polite and explained that our main sewer was clogged and during his inspection noticed the bathtub on the second floor was draining very slow also. He told us the cost of $200 to unclog the main sewer and since he was already here he could unclog the bathtub for an additional $50. We agreed and the technician completed his work and gave us a warranty for the drains he unclogged. I would recommend this company to my friends and family, the company was very reasonable in cost and was actually there when they said they would be.
Description of Work: Main Sewer line was unclogged and a slow draining bathtub (wife's hair definitely not mine) was also unclogged in the second floor bathroom
