Description of Work: They cleaned out my drain to the road and did a hydra flush. The plumber was prompt and helpful. I only wish I fully understood how serious the problem was at the time of first visit. We had a sewage backup that's why we called them in the first place. It backed up again 5 weeks later which they serviced again at no extra charge to us but now we became aware of the severity of the situation. They said that would take the $750 off of the $4000 charge to dig up and replace the pipe. The problem was by now winter was coming fast and I was worried about frozen ground and the problems with digging. We ended up going with G.A. Hunt for the job. They price matched Roto Rooter and came highly recommended. I'm really glad we did because they did an amazing job accommodating for a few extra requests. When I looked up reviews for Roto Rooter the results were about 50/50 in favor for and against. I understand why now. They did a fine job bUT it seems like a better job informating us could have been done.

They came out right away and snaked out my sewer drain. They came out the next day to jet clean clean it with a camera. They did a very good job and I was very happy with them. I was happy with what I got for the price I paid. I didn't comparison shop because of the situation, but it was worth it.

They showed up 4 hours after original appointment time. They charged 350$ to install a 10$ valve, change the water heater water, and relight the pilot light. They were professional but very expensive.

drain cleaning, plumbing

My drains had been gurgling for a few days and we had slow drainage in the basement shower. On a Sunday, water finally backed up into my basement and I knew we had a problem that was beyond Drain-O. I called Roto-Rooter. Just simply selected them from the yellow pages based on the ad that said rates were the same whether it was day, night, weekends, or holidays. From the time I called until the arrival of the tech was less than 3 hours. At arrival, he assessed the situation, located the most practical access point for the drain and got to work. Within the next 45 minutes to an hour, my problem was solved and the tech was on his way to the next call. Considering is was a Sunday night, this guy was the nicest, most pleasant person! I couldn't have asked for better.
Description of Work: Identification of the most convenient access point for drain cleaning and performing services. Confirmed the problem causing water back-up was tree roots. Kevin, the service tech was considerate and respectful to both me and my home. He was very informative and answered all my questions and was very friendly too.

It took nearly two weeks to schedule and do the work. The work involved replacing part of the driveway. Within 7 months the yard had to be dug up again to replace faulty work. While Guthrie did not charge for this, they also refused to provide any re-landscaping (which was an extra cost when the work was originally done). Within a few months, the new concrete driveway began to sink. The Guthrie representative refused to even discuss the issue and called it an "Act of God." All the new concrete in now sunken and cracked and must be replaced. The original job was done poorly. The cost was extremely high. The company refused to stand behind its work.

Not good. I was quoted a price over the phone. When a young guy showed up, he quoted a price of $7 more. Since sewage was coming up I still accepted their price. The young guy didn't know what a main sewer drain looked like and walked over to my main water valve. I directed him back to my sewer drain. He got some roots out and called it good. He said I needed a new sewer cap so I bought one. His work lasted 7 days. Previously when I got my sewer cleaned of tree roots it would last a year or more. On the 7th day I called and asked them to come back over since they didn't do a thorough job. I was told that it would cost me ANOTHER $100. I then called another company who cleaned out my drain thoroughly. I made a complaint with the Attorney General's Office to get a prorated reimbursement. The AG office contacted Guthrie's who ignored their request. I would not recommend Guthrie's Plumbing or whatever they call themselves.
Description of Work: Supposed to clean my main sewer drain plugged up by roots from a city tree.

They were very professional and friendly. They came out quickly and they had to come back because the outside faucet was leaking. They were good about coming back. They answered all of my questions. I felt like the price was fair.
Description of Work: They fixed a leaking shower drain. They had to replace the pipes. They replaced a lot of old plastic plumbing pipes that we had. That included hot and water. They put new piping to our sump pump and they installed a cold water faucet to the front of the house. They cleaned up their mess.

It went well. He was very professional and did a good job. Checked a couple of other small things to fill up the hour. Made a few adjustments and gave me advice. I was satisfied, I felt it was expensive but I had nothing to compare it to. I asked for an estimate for another job that seemed excessively high, so now I'm looking around.

Our clothes washer used to send the discharge water from the washer directly into the utility tub and under the house. Because of this, we got backup pretty regularly. Guthrie's Plumbing came out and gave us a quote, and also told us where to buy the materials far cheaper than they could provide them. They spent the day at the house and did all of the work. The cast iron water pipe crumbled when they tried to connect the discharge line from the washer and they replaced the pipe with PVC. We had one slight problem with the water heater leaking after they left. They returned promptly the next day and fixed the problem.
Description of Work: Replaced main cast iron water pipe with PVC, rerouted laundry plumbing to main line, replaced copper pipes in basement, installed new utility tub, reset and moved water heater and washer.
