"The day before today my husband called for an estimate from Drain Masters, and was quoted $269 to come unclog a sewer lateral causing a flood in my basement. The service man arrived and we went downstairs to look at the area and he asked me if I had a lateral clean out in my backyard (I said no) and then the employee stood there, in the water, writing up a ticket, NEVER looking at the source of the backup, where the water was coming from, where the clogged line was, nothing. But quoted me $410 for his work for today and when I said my husband received a quote (of $269) over the phone the day before, the service man stated that it wasn't possible for my husband to get a quote because his company does not provide quotes over the phone and that my husband must have called a different company. I stated my husband is not a liar, I was right there when called and obtained the estimate, and that I would not pay $410 without an explanation as to why there was an additional charge of $141, especially since the service guy did not go in the area that had the backed up sewer line. There was no answer. I was literally ignored. I told him I didn't want the service because he had no explanation of why he was charging me $141 more than what was quoted, not to mention insinuating my husband was lying about the phone quote. Then he told me that I owed him a $69 service charge and I asked why he was charging me this fee (Drain Masters offers free estimates) and he stated this was the fee for coming out and telling me what was wrong. Then I said that we already knew what was wrong (we had a back-up causing a flood) and I was not going to pay the $69 fee especially because he didn't do anything but stand in front of me and write up a ticket. He said he would write the ticket up that I declined services and then he asked me to sign and initial the ticket in three different places. I asked why he needed my signature three times and he said to authorize services. I replied that I didn't authorize him to provide his services therefore, I didn't need to sign anything. He ripped off a copy of the ticket for me and stormed out my basement door. After the fact, I did confirm online that Drain Masters does provide free estimates. I also called around to obtain estimates from other companies with this highest I was given being $189. My husband ended up going to a rental shop the very same day Drain Masters came to my home and rented a 100 ft sewer snake to run through our line to fix the clog, which, worked perfectly and was exactly $42.10 (including tax) to rent. In hindsight, I cannot help but feel that Drain Masters and the service man who came to my home are dishonest or at the very least have questionable practices. The service man tried to up-charge me with no explanation, he tried to charge me a service charge when he did nothing and the company he works for provides free estimates, he lied to my face about the company not providing estimates over the phone, and in so many words told me my husband is a liar. But, I mostly feels this company is shady is because one of the places the service man asked me to sign states "Work Order Authorization" which has a small message to see reverse side, when I flipped the invoice over the paragraph states "failure to pay the persons supplying these services will result in the filing of a mechanic's lien on the property" in big bold, all caps font. I can't help but wonder if this was the service guy's way of getting me to sign the order and then turning around and trying to bill me for services that were not provided. Do an online search for Drain Master reviews and review the BBB website. There are many, many complaints similar to mine. ADDENDUM: Minutes after posting a review, Mattie called my husband and stated we owed the $69 service fee because they do not offer free estimates. Anything online that says so is outdated. I guess it is easier to say they do not offer free estimates than to remove the "free estimates" from their web page."

A gas log fireplace should be inspected and serviced as needed once a year. Preventative maintenance can help keep your fireplace in working condition and save money in the long run by avoiding more costly repairs on parts that could have been fixed sooner with a regular inspection.
The cost difference between a gas fireplace and a wood-burning fireplace depends on the type of wood-burning fireplace installed. The cost to install a gas fireplace tends to be cheaper than the cost to install a brick wood-burning fireplace. Installing a gas fireplace costs about $3,600 on average, whereas the cost to build a masonry wood-burning fireplace can go up to $30,000. The cost to install a wood-burning fireplace insert or stove can cost from $700 to $6,500, about the same as a gas fireplace on average.
The cost to repair a fireplace depends on the type, extent of repairs needed, and your location. The average cost to repair a fireplace varies depending on the part of the fireplace that needs work:
Firebox: $160–$2,500
Refractory panel: $200–$300
Hearth: $150–$800
Mantel: $500–$1,200
Pilot light: $100–$350
Igniter: $100–$150
Gas valve: $150–$300
Thermocouple: $75–$350
Thermopile: $75–$350
Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
