I called this morning and spokke to Leslie (who was very professional and friendly) to advise of our needs and she told someone would be out between 10-12, Mike, the plumber actually arrived before noon which was impressive. He was very professional and made sure he understood what was needed. He took care of all the plumbing issues within 2 hours (we bought a 2 hour coupon) and he made sure I didn't have any other issues or concerns. He was timely, professional, and efficient as was Leslie from the initial call.

It was very cold that morning and snowing to beat the band. I was scheduled for a time slot between 10 AM and Noon. Trent called me on my cell phone and showed up at 9 AM. He was polite, professional, and friendly. He did not mind when I looked over his shoulder and answered all my questions. Trent used a drop cloth to keep the work area clean; and when he was done he cleaned up after himself leaving the work area spotless. In using the power snake, a joint in the PVC pipes separated. Trent went out and purchased the proper primer and cement and made the repair. After paying for the service Trent made sure to mention Backlund's thirty day guarantee on their work.
Description of Work: Wife was using the kitchen sink in preparation for a large party. Next thing I know she's telling me that the utility and bathroom sink in the basement are filling up and the water is not going down. The clog was not accessible without professional equipment. Backlund's tech, Trent, came in, assessed the situation, found access and cleared clog with a powered snake. He buttoned the system back up and ran all the faucets in the affected area at the same time to make sure clog was clear.

Initial request was for sewer main inspection by camera due to driveway cracking over sewer main. Technician arrived early for the appointment and after asking the nature of the problem went straight to work. He explained at each step where he discovered issues and marked the line on the driveway as he went. When a tree root blockage prevented continuing from the house the technician went to the manhole which my main runs directly into and attempted to inspect from the street to the house also resulting in finding another tree root blockage. Technician suggested jetting from the manhole as the best course of action as the next step. Additionally, I have one stack that has had the clean-out plug replaced. I had a second stack that had the lead plug from the original construction that I have asked several other "plumbers" to replace. None would until this technician who said it would be an easy replacement so I asked him to proceed. This stack is by far the most troublesome for cleaning as the only way to get to it is via the roof. The technician made quick work of it. Moved the dryer, replaced the plug, cleaned up the work area, replaced the dryer and completed the itemized bill with recommendation and notes to future technician all done in an hour! I've already scheduled the follow-on with Backlund Plumbing.

Very, Very professional. Drain Specialist went right to work. Once drain unclogged, he cleaned everything up and put everything back. You wouldn't know anyone had been here after he left. I won't use anyone else but Backlund for my plumbing issue. Very customer focused right from very first phone call.

Two different employees named Mike were on our job. Both were very prompt, courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and honest. My emails to the office were also returned almost instantaneously and we were able to get on the schedule right away. This was a very good experience and we will be using Backlund in the future. Thanks, Mike and MIke!

Fantastic job! Thomas got the floor drained cleared and even the bathroom sink! Another plumbing company was out about two weeks prior and said I would need to call their office back and schedule a contractor as they couldn't get the sink cabled...probably have to cut into wall, etc. HA! Backlund was able to get it done and they were better priced. Thomas was excellent - ask for him! He will get the job done and make you laugh in the process. I am so happy I called Backlund for help, they could actually do the work and will continue to get my business. I will highly recommend them to everyone I know.

Backlund plumbing is very professional. The job always cost what they said it would cost. They made one mistake, but then fixed it at no expense immediately. I would highly recommend Backlung plumbing to anyone and will use them for future projects.

I've used Backlund for several years. As always, they arrived when they said that they would and their price is better than anybody else's out there that I've tried. Granted, I've not tried all of the mom n pop places, but of the big guys, these guys are the best, in my opinion. The guys are always very professional. I would absolutely recommend them.

Went quickly, pro repaired a 2" PVC to copper downstairs. Done in an hour or less. Renter's hadn't reported the small leak, Backlund had been out the week before to camera the main line and auger the upstairs toilet. At that time, the eagle-eyed technician noticed a bucket behind the dryer with water in it. Traced the leak to a previous repair that was now failing. Called it in and had us lined up for the following Monday. Their flat rate of $90 an hour plus materials is also unbelievable, especially compared to Burton's pricing. I can't say enough good things about Backlund Plumbing, always quick and professional!
