I have used this company for many years for routine and emergency cleaning of my main drain, kitchen sink and bathtub. Very satisfied.
Description of Work: Recently, I had a clogged toilet overflow. Drainbusters was able to respond the same day which saved me inconvenience and probably money. (a plumber I contacted couldn't come until the next day).

WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THIS COMPANY. I WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OVER THE PHONE AND HE STUCK TO THAT PRICE. THE PERSON WHO CAME OUT WAS ON TIME AND THE PRICE WAS VERY REASONABLE.
Description of Work: ON THANKSGIVING DAY, OUR FLOOR DRAIN STARTED BACKING UP. WE CALLED FIRST THING FRIDAY MORNING AND SOMEONE CAME OVER WITHIN A FEW HOURS. FIRST, HE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT WITH THE FLOOR DRAIN. THEN, HE WENT TO THE SEWER CLEAN OUT AND SNAKED TO THE STREET. HE EXPLAINED IN DETAIL WHAT HE WAS DOING AND WHY AND ANSWERED ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS.

WHAT A GREAT GUY! RETURNED MY CALL QUICKLY, CAME OUT THE NEXT DAY, WORKED QUICK AND NEATLY, AND UNPLUGGED A DRAIN THAT I HAD TRIED, AND FAILED, TO CLEAR WITH PLUNGER AND MULTIPLE DRAIN CLEANER APPLICATIONS OVER A ONE-WEEK PERIOD. HE GAVE ME A ONE-HOUR WINDOW FOR HIS ARRIVAL AND EVEN CALLED TO LET ME KNOW HE WOULD BE ARRIVING ON THE LATER END OF THE WINDOW, EVEN THOUGH HE STILL GOT THERE WITHIN THE TIME FRAME HE GAVE. CHECKED ANOTHER DRAIN FOR ME AND TOLD ME HOW TO DEAL WITH IT MYSELF, SAVING ME MONEY (THAT I WOULD HAVE GLADLY PAID HIM). HE GAVE ME TIPS ON MAINTAINING THE DRAINS TO AVOID FUTURE PROBLEMS. VOLUNTEERED A $5 ANGIE'S LIST DISCOUNT TO ME IN CASH AFTER I'D ALREADY MADE OUT MY CHECK FOR THE AGREED AMOUNT. PROVIDED A SIX-MONTH WARRANTY. HE'S A YOUNG MAN THAT TOOK OVER HIS LATE DAD'S BUSINESS AND HE'S DOING A WONDERFUL JOB. HE'S THE TYPE OF SMALL, GOLDEN, UNDER-THE-RADAR OPERATION ANGIE'S LIST SUBSCRIBERS PAY TO FIND OUT ABOUT.

THE PLUMBER CONFIRMED THE APPOINTMENT AND CALLED US WHEN HE LEFT HIS PRIOR JOB. HE WENT STRAIGHT TO WORK, SCRAPED AWAY THE RAG, DEPOSITS AND RUST ALL THE WAY TO THE SEWER AND CLEANED UP HIS MESS. HE WAS COURTEOUS AND PROFESSIONAL.
Description of Work: OUR CLEANING SERVICE ACCIDENTALLY FLUSHED A RAG DOWN THE TOILET WHICH CAUGHT ON SOMETHING IN THE MAIN DRAIN TO THE SEWER. WATER BACKED INTO THE BASEMENT FLOOR DURING LAUNDRY TIME THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY. DRAIN BUSTERS ANSWERED OUR PHONE CALL WITHIN AN HOUR AND SETUP AN APPOINTMENT MONDAY AFTERNOON. THEY COMPLETELY SCRAPED THE MAIN DRAIN ALL THE WAY TO THE SEWER. THE CLEANING SERVICE REIMBURSED US FOR THE COST OF THE SERVICE WITH AN APOLOGY.
