Cabled 45 ft to the city main to clear roots from the drain. Receipt stated "No warranty given". This seemed a bit expensive compared to drain cleanings I've hired in the past.

Thank you so much for the review! I'm so glad you were happy with our service. The sewer cleaning took much longer than any average sewer job and the line was infested with roots for 40 feet. We don't just poke a small hole in the roots to get you through - we like to do a thorough job to make sure each line is cleaned as if it was our own. While the cost was more than expected if you continue to perform a yearly maintenance to keep the roots cleared you would expect the charges to be drastically cheaper. If this was my sewer I wouldn't go any more than 1 year between cleanings. The other route and permanent solution would be to replace the entire sewer line...which you may want to consider with the condition of this line. Let me know if you'd like a referral for an excavator! Have a great Tuesday!

We had used Ryan's service a few years ago for the same problem. At that time we were told it could last 2-5 years. When we ended up with the same trouble three years later, it seemed on track. At that time, the service was about $375 which included the camera to find the source of the block and the water jetting to unblock. Forgetting who we called last, we had another company come out to perform the same thing. Upon arrival we were quoted $495 for the first 1.5hours with that company. We declined their service and were happy to remember it was Ryan's. We scheduled Ryan's for the next morning which was their next available appointment. Then received a call a short time after letting us know they could come right away due to a cancellation. They were there and gone within 20 minutes. No camera needed this time and the charge was $190. Their pricing compared to others get's an A+. Still expensive for 20 minutes, but far better than other quotes.
Description of Work: Unblocked tree roots from sewer line.

They charged $49 to come out and give a quote. They quoted snaking out the main line 90ft for $214 with a spiral cutter head. It was a success and cut through some roots that were causing the plug. They were in and out - in 45 minutes. I felt $265 was expensive - but nonetheless I didn't have the equipment myself to snake that deep.
Description of Work: I called them to clear out the drain that had plugged several times in the basement. Requested them to snake from the basement clean out to the city line.

Our serviceman, Aaron cabled out 90 feet, then became stuck. Had to call for an auger and another cable to loosen and free up stuck cable. He then cabled in and out to 105' 10 times to remove roots and consumer products. My line is 80' so the problem appeared to be in the city sewer line. This was proven when another backup occurred on 7/21/2013. Aaron suggested callling the city to check their line. I did and the city worker found a blockage that had to be flushed out. Aaron came back on 7/23/2013 and videoed our line which turned out to be free of any blockage or damage. He was also kind enough to talk to me at length twice while off duty during this process. I highly recommend Ryan's for sewer cleaning.
Description of Work: Called because of sewer backup. Spent several hours here clearing and flushing line. Came back at my request on 7/23 and videoed line. This cost an additional $190.00

They were personable, knowledgable, prompt, had cool high tech equipment. Aaron, is wonderful and we always request him when we need to have work done. He is great and always does his work with care and concern for the customer. Also, Ryan's has a great office staff, all of them very friendly.
Description of Work: Had them out to fix a sewer line back up.

The service was excellent and the price was reasonable. They would expect great service. The guy who came out just had a baby and he was supposed to have his time off and he actually took time to come out here and help us out. He was very thorough and very clean. He did a great job and he didn't take a long time to do it.

Our service technician was very friendly and knowledgeable. He did everything in a very quick fashion. We had to call three plumbing companies until Ryan's Modern Sewer Cleaning said they were able to come out the same day. We woke up in the morning to find our tub filled with disgusting water and everything was draining very slowly after doing a load of laundry.
Description of Work: Snaked the drain that was connecting plumbing in our Laundry Room and also our main bathroom (50-60 feet apart). Replaced the fill valve in toilet tank.

The service tech was very friendly and got the job done. I did feel the price was a bit high but have not checked comparables. I would have appreciated it if he had worn shoe covers as my floors got tracked with slush.

Hey [member name removed]! Thank you for your review on Angie's list! Sorry about the mess that was made with the slushy shoes. We take every effort to make sure your home is treated with the most respect and shoe covers are a must. Our service manager did speak with the technician about your concern.

Asked local hardware store for a referral for my sewage backup in basement. They (and since then others) said Ryan's was "the best"! Little did I realize, this was the day after Thanksgiving, the busiest day of the year for this kind of service! They didn't charge extra for the "holiday" arrived by 9 a.m.! Aaron, my technician, had years of experience and was informative and patient (I was quite discombobulated), described my situation and my options. I'd ask for him again if needed. Also, their office staff is very responsive.
Description of Work: Aaron promptly arrived at my historic home with all its many pipes and crammed-full basement. My main sewer line was obstructed, possibly by tree roots. He diagnosed and fixed the problem and gave me good advice. After over 20 years with Ryan's, he exuded confidence, competence, and professionalism. Very practical, caring, and helpful.

Great.
Description of Work: Ryan's snaked out our drain to the street, shop vacuumed debris out of our drain trap, and did a great job. The technician was really friendly and did a great job. We will call Ryans in the future. Our friends use them too.

We got up on this Saturday to a dishwasher overflowing and a totally plugged kitchen sink. Water was everywhere. We called Godwin Plumbing, as we have had them before, only to learn they didn't offer service on the weekend - but they highly recommended Ryans Drain Cleaning. So we called them and left a message. He called back a couple hours later and came out a couple hours after that. He checked with us first to see if we wanted it fixed on a Saturday at an extra emergency cost or did we want to wait for Monday. We did choose to have it fixed at the emergency rate. When he got here and looked at it, he knew the problem right away and fixed it promptly. It was something that we could not have fixed by ourselves and were very grateful to have it fixed today. We felt his service was well worth the price. And the service man, Steve, was pleasant too. Overall, a good experience -- if any plumbing emergency could be called that!!!!
Description of Work: Fixed a totally plugged kitchen sink that was backing up into the dishwasher.

Hey [member name removed]! I'm just getting on the Angie's List wagon here and saw your wonderful review! Thank you for your kind words :) My brother Steve left Ryan's to clean drains with my cousin at Nuclear Power Plants on the East Coast! While we miss him terribly we are so happy for his new adventure. Rest assured tho, I have many qualified, friendly, family-like folks that work here. We do offer preventative maintenance pricing. So when you notice the sink starting to act slow or gurgle give me a buzz! We prefer to catch these things before they cause you a headache :) Have a good summer and stay cool! ~Stephanie

Hey [member name removed]! I'm just getting on the Angie's List wagon and saw your review. Thank you for your kind words! I looked back in the system and saw that it was 2006 that we cleaned your sewer. Due to the severity of the roots growth in the line and how long it's been, it might be a good idea to do a preventative maintenance. The cost would be less as well if we can catch it before you have a back up. Give me a call or stop by the office sometime. Stay cool this summer! ~Stephanie
