It looks like it Erickson Drain & Sewer that I used. I did find them on Angie's List. They had a special but I don't know if I went on Angie's List and got it, I think they honored it anyway. They were here in February of 2017. It was probably about $125. They did have a piece of equipment that was kind of faulty, but they managed to make it work.
Description of Work: They did sewer and drain cleaning.

Troy was hired to clean my tub drain. I did tell him that my husband in the past had used a drain cleaning product. He could not get the drain plug out but was able to snake and clean my drain. After he left i cleaned my tub and realized the Porcelite finish on the tub had been chipped by the drain. I contacted his business and was directed by his wife to send a picture so she could show Troy the damage. Troy did call me back and was immediately defensive. He indicated that he used a tarp and could have chipped the tub but said that the finish was weaken by the use of a drain cleaner. What he didn't realize is that when my husband used the drain cleaner he used a funnel and was very careful not to get the drain cleaner on the tub finish. He did offer to tear up my check and I did accept that offer. My main concern is that the chip was not pointed out while he was at my home and when he contacted me he was very angry and placed the blame on my husband and drain cleaner. Professionalism and an apology go a long way in the service industry and may have resulted in a different outcome to this situation.

Water was not draining from a basement shower, other lines were draining slowly. We placed a call in the morning, Troy was at our house at 3, arrived on time, and worked quickly and efficiently. He was tidy, cleaned up after his work. Troy was pleasant and professional. The price was very fair. We would definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: Main line from house to sewer line and the floor drains were cleaned. Both had significant sludge, only a little water passing through.

Troy showed up on time, did the work, cleaned everything up, and even worked on making friends with my dog! I will definitely call him when it's time for next year's service.
Description of Work: To prevent sewer backup, I like to have the main line cleaned out about every year or so. Since I had such a good experience with Erickson's in the past, I made an appointment for the preventive service.

We had a backup on Christmas Eve a year ago, and I wanted to avoid that this year. Called Erickson hoping for an appointment in the next few days--they came within three hours. Performed the work in great fashion. We had used Erickson before, and I noted that their price only went up 10% in the last six years.

drain cleaning
  + -1 more
The Ericksons arrived about three hours after we called. They set up the machine, protected the area from splashes, took the drain apart and sent the snake down. This sink was retrofitted during a kitchen remodel in 1987, and necessitated a 15-18 foot horizontal run of drain pipe. We knew this would possibly cause clogging problems in the future and so have tried to be careful about what we put down that drain. This was the second time we've needed to open it.
Description of Work: The Ericksons, father and son Troy, cleaned out a clogged kitchen sink drain using an electric snake. They removed ceiling tiles in the basement suspended ceiling to know where the drain ran, then sent down 15-20 feet of snake. They were able to clean out the drain in a short time, replaced the ceiling tiles in the basement, and cleaned up after themselves.

They did a great job. It took several tries to remove years of mineral build up. After removing some of the plug they kept working at it until it was running well. They work for an extra half hour after the drain was working to open it up fully. They did a great job. The quality of work was excellent.

I made an appointment for the service about a week or so in advance. I had asked for a call the night before to verify the appointment and it was done. Also, on the morning of the appointment, rather than just showing up early, they called to ask if they could come a little early! The work was done very well and all the mess was cleaned up and removed. One of the drains was very difficult to clean and they put in the extra time and effort to get it running smoothly. They didn't charge any extra, although the work took longer than expected. My drains haven't run this well in years!
Description of Work: They cleaned the main line from the house to the street (annual maintenance) and cleaned lines for the slow-running drains in the bath tub and sink on the 2nd floor.

They attempted to clear the drain by using a motorized snake to clear the line. They were unable to penetrate the clog and were reluctant to suggest another method to do so. They seem anxious to leave and did so after one hour of effort.

Prompt and polite. Mr Erickson and son were there in under 20 minutes. They cleared 75 feet of root-infested drain. They were efficient, fast, and reminded me to have the main cleaned once a year. I will call Erickson again.

Mrs. Erickson quickly returned my initial call and we made an appointment for the next morning. Later I was concerned that there might not be enough time for the job before both my husband and I had to go out, so I called back. Mrs. E was very nice about it, and changed the time to the afternoon. Mr. Erickson and son arrived on time and finished the job in 30-35 minutes. They were very pleasant and professional, and left behind no mess.
Description of Work: The drain in the basement floor was backing up when the water softener emptied into it. The two Mr. Ericksons, father and son, cleaned it out, along with the pipe from the downstairs bathroom, which goes into the same drain.

I can't say enough about these people. I had used another company last time (but they'd been bought and their prices had increased for the same work by a fair bit). I called first thing in the morning, and had an appt for early afternoon (I couldn't do it any earlier due to my schedule). They called and apologized they would be about 1/2 hr late--another job had hung them up. No problem--great that they called to let me know. They arrived and set to work. They were very efficient, yet explained things, and took care to clean up afterward. They paid great attention to detail and were very concerned about doing a good job and giving good value to their customers. I was extremely impressed and they will be my first and only call the next time I have a drain issue (note that they don't do plumbing work, only drain clearing). It's just the mother, father and son in the business--no other employees. But they've been in business 30 years and they care about what they do.
Description of Work: I had a slow/stopped kitchen sink drain. They cleared it out with the power snake.

The service was exceptional. If you've ever had your sewer back-up, you know it is something that you need to deal with immediately. Erickson Sewer Service had someone out within 2 hours. The guys that worked on my house explained what they needed to do, were very efficient, and made sure they left the work area cleaner than how they found it. I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: We lived in an older home, and once a year or so, tree roots would cause the drain leading to the street to clog and water would back up in our basement. I have used them 3 times (once a year) to maintain my drain/sewer drainage.
