He arrived on time, worked quickly and efficiently. I've used him multiple times because I have mature trees and have to have the roots cleared out every couple of years.

Showed up date and time of appointment. Professional. Did the job.
Description of Work: Bob is punctual, honest, and returns your phone calls. He charges $135 for the job and doesn't place a time limit on it. There would be an additional charge if there were problems, but he doesn't charge more if the job takes longer than normal like some companies.This was our second time using him and I would use him again.

Overall went great. I called in the morning and we were his first stop. I believe he was here for an hour, got right to the task at hand, handled all of his equipment and was very courteous. He also made some great recommendations towards our sewer line (as he knows Richfield houses very well).
Description of Work: Our floor line (from washing machine to the main line) backed up all over our laundry room. My husband tried snaking it and was able to reach the main line with no issues. Bob came and cleared way through our main line, finding a ton of roots towards the end of the line (near the street). This has been an issue in the past, so from this point forward, we'll be doing preventative clearings every spring with Bob.

It went great as every time. he knows what he is doing and I would trust him to perform his job even if I wasn't home.
Description of Work: There isn't any better than Bob. He knows what he is doing, and if he doesn't at first, he figures it out very quickly. He is a great guy, and I love talking to him about anything. Very respectful and cleans up after any mess he might have to make. We have called him probably 5 fimes over the years and I will continue to call him about the stupid tree in front of our house who's roots plug our drain to the street once a year. I know the tree has been here longer than I have (an old oak tree) bur I can still call it names, but it is part of the family so it stays, and I get to see Bob at least once a year! You won't be sorry you called ever! Thanks Bob!

Bob came in to unclog both our laundry tub and bath drain. I called at 8:00 and he was here between his provided time frame of 9-9:30. He was able to get both jobs done within 45 minutes. He brought his own tools and cleaned up the mess. Nice guy in general - would recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: Bob unclogged our laundry tub and bath drains - both which were clogged for various reasons. He had the right equipment for both - the laundry tub drain required some muscle to get access to (open up the pipe) and unclog - the bathroom only required a handheld tool. He was very familiar with our house type - as he's worked on many 1 1/2 story houses in Richfield before.

Bob arrived within 2 hours of my initial call. He quickly addressed the issues regarding the slow running drains in the showers by cleaning the drain plugs and running a snake to clean the pipes. He also checked the three toilets that I was concerned about. He determined they were running fine, but the water in the tank was too low for the toilet to flush completely. Simple solution of topping off the water in the tank. Bob was helpful and efficient. I thought he did a great job.

Excellent service, recommendation of other service provider, and follow up. We will be using Bob every year to make sure our drain lines are clean given his low cost!
Description of Work: Bob is just great. Had a clogged sewer line that required two trips. Bob recommended a plumber to install a new clean out service in our main drain line to really do the job right. Each trip was ~$100, but having Bob come back is what doubled it.

I left a message with Bob's Sewer Service at about noon on 10/4. He called back within 3 hours and said he could be at our house in 10 minutes. We had two blockages -- one close to the house and the other near the street -- but he had them both cleared and was on his way within 45 minutes. We were very pleased with his service.
Description of Work: Our sewer was backing up. Called Bob's Sewer Service and within 4 hours Bob responded and had our sewer cleaned out and I could continue washing clothes.

I called Bob on Sunday afternoon and received his voicemail that his normal business hours are Monday to Friday 7am to 9pm and Saturday 8am to 4pm. Since I knew we could wait until the next morning I left a message for him to call me and he returned my call early Sunday evening and unfortunately I missed his call. I called him at 7:15 on Monday morning and we arranged to have him out at 8am. He arrived on time and cleaned out our sewer line in less than 45 minutes. In the past we've had tree roots in our main line, but he did not find very many since we removed the tree several years ago. He did mention that our sewer line had shifted a little bit where the pipes connect and this can cause gunk to build up over time and cause a blockage. We've used Bob several times over the past 9 years and he has always done a great job! His prices are reasonable and he has always been able to come out quickly. He also is very careful to make sure that he does not create a mess.

The sewer drain was backing up into the basement as I did laundry so it was time to call Bob. I have had Bob clean out the sewer line 4 previous times in the last 10 years. (1926 house with old sewer line and lots of tree roots.) I called him at about 5:00 on Friday to schedule an appointment. His answering service answered, took my number, and let me know that Bob would call me to schedule the appointment. He called back within a half hour and said he could come over the next morning, Saturday, at around 9:30 am after his first appointment of the day. He arrived at about 9:00 am and spent about an hour cleaning out the tree roots blocking the line. There was no additional charge for a Saturday appointment. Bob does a thorough job and cleans up the area after he is finished.
Description of Work: Bob cleaned out the sewer line and removed the tree roots that were blocking it.

Bob was responsive, returned call, worked me into his schedule. However, when he arrived, he made several bad decisions in my opinion: first he went to the alleyway, without asking where would be the best place to go. Second he left without talking to me, apparently thinking it would be too hard getting the machine into the house, in all the snow. Then, I called his cell phone to learn why he came to the back and then left, and he had the worst attitude, and before I could even figure out what he needed, he said he was on to the next job, and I said that he was only just here, he said "well find someone else then!" I will. In all fairness, it is snowing, and he probably thought it would be hard to get the machine in the house. I didn't plow this morning because I have to watch the kids in the house. I have a snow blower, and it would have taken 2 minutes to clear the path. Not to mention I am a very big and strong guy, willing to help. Bob doesn't seem interested in communicating about any of this, and I don't have any tolerance for people who want my money for their services who don't have any professionalism.
Description of Work: None His phone estimate was $130.

I called Bob and he immediately returned my call and serviced my rental property the next morning. Bob cleaned both main drains at my rental duplex at a cost of $175 total. I was very satisfied with Bob's professionalism, he was prompt, fast and polite. I thought his prices were very reasonable and he will be my first call in the future. A+ for Bob!

Kitchen drain clogged on a Saturday morning. Called Bob's Sewer Service based on high customer rating on Angies list along with close proximity to our home. Bob responded within 2 hours; brought in snake equipment and had drain open within 30 mins. Cleaned up mess before leaving. Was very personable and friendly. Will not hesitate to call again if needed.

I didn't use him. Just wanted to compliment on the great responsiveness.
Description of Work: The drain in the basement backed up. I called this company (and another) on Monday morning and scheduled with the other because they called back first, and were done with the job by 1PM. Around 1:30, Bob shows up at my door to help without an appointment! Because I had to stay home for this, I was working and on the phone for a few hours. Bob explained he tried calling several times but the phone was busy, so he stopped by to see if he could help. That is excellent customer service!

I called Bob on Friday afternoon around 2:30 and he was here by 4:00. He's usually able to do his work pretty soon. He has two machines for his cleaning, one for the shorter floor drain system and the other larger machine for the main drain. He went out about 100 feet to clean our main drain line. His son works with him in the business too and both are congenial and friendly.
Description of Work: Bob cleaned our main sewer drain going out to the street and our floor drain which connects our basement sinks, shower,faucet, and laundry machine connections to the main drain. We've used him before and he always does a great job. Will keep using him in the future.

Prompt and efficient. On Saturday morning I called and left a message with Bob's answering service. Bob called me within 30 minutes and arrived 10 minutes later just as he said he would. Promptly went to work and opened drain. I didn't ask for an estimate so I can't compare actual cost to the estimate.
