I have used Roger many times. He has always been professional, straight-forward, responsive and a pleasure to work with. i called him out twice on a holiday weekend (2 totally different problems) and he came right away both times. I highly recommend him for any plumbing job.

After calling multiple Angie's list providers who stated they had weekend hours and didn't ever call back, Rodger returned the call quickly on a Sunday afternoon. I was hoping we could make the early AM schedule on Monday. Instead he came out in 40 minutes that afternoon even though he had just returned from a weekend trip out of town! He was punctual, professional and quick to do the job. He assured us that it was tree roots causing the problem and nothing else major with the sewer system. I cannot tell you how appreciative I was that someone would just call us back on a Sunday afternoon. He then went above and beyond by coming out within the hour and fixing the problem. He stated the weekend charge was $20 more from his usual rate which was reasonable. His fee was reasonable and not overpriced like other major name competitors. Would HIGHLY recommend him and we plan on using him again in the future.
Description of Work: Our sewer drain backed up into the basement a bit and the main line was cleared of tree roots that were occluding it.

Outstanding! Courteous, personable, and friendly, Roger called to confirm before arriving. Was punctual, concerned with keeping my carpets clean, efficient, effective and thorough. Discounted his price for Angie's list without being asked. Offered tips for keeping the drain clean in the future. Experienced and highly professional; would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Called the plumber on Thursday and they came out Friday. They came out and took care of it in about 20 minutes - they even called to see if they could come by earlier than my appointment time. Very pleased with the service.

I called and made an appointment for service. Plumber called that morning with eta as would be about 10-15 min later than planned. Work was completed within the time I had allowed so was able to get to work on time. He was fast, cleaned up, & was pleasant. One reason I chose this plumber was because he had a local address-he had moved and had to travel about 25 miles! (He said he didn't mind & would be happy for referrals in my area.)

He was nice, quick, professional, neat and careful about not making a mess with the grungy clogged sink water. He gave me a discount as a Angie's List referral. While he was working he gave me a tutorial about how fix a simple clog myself next time, how to know when to call a pro (when the pipe in the basement sounds clogged when I tap) plus some advice on choosing a better disposer when I'm ready to upgrade. I know he was super busy on Christmas Eve, but he was calm and friendly.
Description of Work: Our kitchen sink clogged up on Christmas Eve and I called the plummer after trying to plunge it myself, then using Draino to no effect. The plumber came out within 90 minutes of my initial call, took the plumbing apart. Cleaned out the clog of carrot peels, and reassembled the pipes in about 15 minutes.

Everything went well. From our conversation when he called me back, I'm not sure Roger works in the Hazelwood area much but he agreed to come that day. He was polite, efficient and friendly. He referred me to another company (someone he has known for years) and said he would treat me fairly. Fine with me, like I know where to call for a video of my lateral sewer line! :) So that was my experience with Roger; surely not the end to my saga however.
Description of Work: Having never had a sewer problem in 18 years one Sunday evening after a second load of laundry water was backing up into the basement. I waited to call All Purpose Sewer until Monday morning after seeing their great feedback on Angie's List vs. just calling another company because it is a name we all recognize. Roger called back within an hour or two Monday morning and scheduled to come out that afternoon. He was unable to clear the line and said I had a definite blockage, probably under the driveway, about 63' out from the house. He referred me to another company to have a video taken of the lateral sewer line.

I called All Purpose Sewer & Drain at approximately 12:30 p.m. on Friday, April 4th and a recording instructed me to leave my name and phone number. It said that Mr. Bates was being paged and would return my call. Mr. Bates called me back in about 10 minutes. I explained my situation and he said he could be at my home in about 2 hours. It was about 3 hours later when Mr. Bates arrived but he did call prior to that saying he had been delayed and asked if it was okay for him to proceed to my home at that time. Mr. Bates was professional yet courteous and personable. He assessed the situation and went right to work. When the task was completed he cleaned up the work area. In addition to explaining what caused the problem he provided suggestions on maintenance to avoid a recurrence of the problem.
Description of Work: Drain in basement was and backing up and overflowing into basement. Cabled sanitary line from basement out 110 feet.

The problem started with my sewer backing up and basically flooding half of my basement. So, I called All Purpose and got the answering service. Within an our I received a call from Roger to schedule an appointment. The day of the scheduled service, Roger called to ask if he could be there earlier than the planned time and that worked perfect with my schedule. He arrived exactly when he said he would be there and got the work done very efficiently and professionally. Roger was very patient in answering my questions as I am a new home owner and not familiar with sewer problems. I no longer have sewer problems and have found someone very reliable to do work at my home in the future. Thank you Angie's List and to the others who recommended Roger. I've dealt with other companies in the past, and this was one of the best experiences I have ever had.
Description of Work: The sewers were cleaned from the lateral line in the front yard to the house and to the street. No work was performed inside the house and everything is working perfectly again!

Roger arrived on time. After determining there was no exterior sewer clean out, he suggested getting someone who had the equipment to use the clean out on the roof. Our basement is finished and it would've been a mess. He didn't charge for the visit. Of all those I called, his price of $93 for a regular sewer cleaning was about $30 cheaper! I will use him if we have a problem.

I found this company on Angie's List and because he was close and received such a good grade I decided to give him a try. I left a message and he called back within a couple of hours. We arranged for him to come out later that day. He arrived earlier than promised, and finished the job in good time. Very pleasant gentleman and easy to work with.

The drains had not been cleaned in years and were very clogged. Roger worked very hard to clean everything out and even dug up about eight feet of clogged pipes. He stayed longer than expected in order to get the job done and stuck with his original estimate for the price of cleaning out each drain even though more work was involved.
Description of Work: We had our sewer lines cleaned out as well as seven drains from our downspouts.

Raw sewage was backing out into our basement floor drain on a Saturday morning. I left a message, and the call was returned within 10 minutes. Mr. Bates was at our house within an hour. He cleaned out the lateral line from the house to the street. He gave us some advice regarding maintaining a clean line. He cleaned up the mess on the basement floor. All in all, he was extremely professional and responsive.

Rodger's answering service paged him when we called early in the morning after we discovered our problem. Within 10 minutes he had returned our call and scheduled to come out that afternoon. He called to let us know he was running 10 minutes late. He quickly completed the job while letting us know what was obstructing the sewer line. His price was reasonable and he was very flexible with scheduling. Much more reasonable than when we had used another company 3 years ago. Would use him for future plumbing needs. Very appreciative of the same-day service!

The sewer in the basement backed up, which had happened one other time. I found Roger's company on Angie's list and called him in the evening. He called back soon after and we made an appointment for the next morning. He arrived on time and quickly understood the problem and corrected it by routing. Roger is polite, personable, reasonably priced, and professional. I would highly recommend him.

Mr. Bates was great. He was friendly, polite, and prompt. My initial phone call was returned immediately and he came to our house right away. He actually arrived a little bit early! He was here for a full hour. We were very pleased with the price. I recommended him highly.
Description of Work: The basement laundry room drain was clogged and an outside drain at the bottom of a slopped driveway was draining slowly. Mr. Bates determined that the main pipe from the back to the front of the house was clogged and blocked with tree roots. He cleared out all of the drains.
