They did great. They put the old water heater in a bag so it would not drain throughout my house. It was at a reasonable price.

Responded promptly to my message and set up an immediate appointment. He arrived when he said he would, he diagnosed the problem, fixed it, and charged me less than half of what I had paid for leaking pipes previously. He was highly competent, courteous, and more than highly reasonable in price. It was a very good experience.

Outstanding service. We were given an estimate over the phone, and the final price was right on. Andrew and his helper were on time, polite, efficient and fair. My 5-year-old son's comment when they left was, ''Those were nice guys, weren't they?'' Everything was great and we are very happy with the job. Without a doubt, we would hire the Drain Connection again.

Andy had excellent customer service skills. I caused him to make a wasted first trip because I had said we had usable outside electric power outlets. When he found they were not working, he cheerfully rescheduled the job (the next time bringing his own generator). He automatically reduced the bill for the original drain cleaning once we agreed to the more extensive work. Andy also professionally handled a communication problem at the end. Because of our gas line, storm sewer location, & problems caused by the recently installed handicap ramp in front of our house, his crew had to install the pipe further away from the house than we had earlier agreed. I was initially distressed because of property line issues & called Andy quite upset. He immediately drove to my house & reviewed the situation, promising me he would move the pipe if needed. He then gave me a complete explanation of where it was placed & waived the entire initial service fee as a good will gesture.
Description of Work: Original work was to clean out our storm sewer drains from the street to the curb. When the drain on one side of the house was found to be blocked beyond repair, they replaced 100 feet of pipe on that side & put in a new drain to the street. They cut & rolled up sod, then replaced it over the trench in which new pipe was laid. Extra work was involved because of the location of a storm sewer & a handicap ramp in front of our house. Now, 2 weeks after the installation, the grass has grown back fully & the yard looks great. You wouldn't spot the excavation site. We are extremely pleased. Andy was very personable & responsive over the phone, & came out to do our job within 2 days of my call. He then completed the drain replacement immediately after I authorized the work. The quote for both the initial drain line cleaning & for the pipe replacement was substantially less expensive than one of his competitors from whom I'd also received a quote.

The work was done in a very timely manner, and Andy was very professional in handling the estimate, scheduling, and follow-up. The work was done OK, except for the four breaks in my sprinkler lines that were caused- I will admit without hesitation that their proposal indicates that they are not responsible for this damage, and I also had a conversation with Andy about this. But, I would expect that they would exercise reasonable care to not harm them. I had prior work done two years ago by another company (not now in business) with no incident. To help Andy to this end, I provided drawings of our sprinkler system to help indentify where the lines were. Nevertheless, the breaks occurred causing $400 in damage. This was very frustrating, and probably unnecessary in my mind. My final comment would be their immediate insistence on payment. It seemed as if they wanted to be paid before I found out what had happened. The bottom line-nice people, but be cautious.

One of the caps was in the crawl space, so it was difficult to get any machinery in. They came in with the best price by a long shot, and were always on time or early. They were just very nice and did all their work. It worked out great for us.

Dave and Stephen from the Drain Connection were a great team with obvious complementary skills. Very polite, they took care of protecting our carpet when bringing their tools and went above and beyond, for instance checking below our deck to inspect where our water problem might come from. They discovered an original drain in our basement. Instead of doing a sloppy job ignoring it, they cleaned it and connected the Sump well and pump to it. As a result, we have a perfectly dry basement (alleluia!). In the front, they did not save their effort and optimized the placement of the drain putting it behind a bush and sparing our lawn. Overall, a great home owner experience. I would recommend the Drain Connection, and Dave & Stefen's team anytime. Andy's price was competitive and he wanted to do a quality job. That is what the team delivered and it was well worth it. I keep staring at my basement and can t believe it is dry with all the rain we had... Thumbs up!!!
Description of Work: Install Sump well and pump in 110 year old brick house partial basement. Run drain to the street (through crawl space), connect it to another drain that collects water from the roof. Make sure curb appeal of house and garden in the front are preserved. 1 year warranty on the sump pump (Zdeller) and work.

They did a pretty good job and did the work quickly after I agreed to the estimate. It's easy to see where the turf was removed and it could have been a little tidier, but it's not bad. They did the other side of the house a couple years ago and it took about a year and a half for the lawn to no longer show where the pipe was put in. Otherwise, the job site was cleaned up nicely and they fixed a burst outside faucet for free along with this job. Another company estimated $900 for the same job and promised to leave the lawn pristine, which wasn't worth the extra money to me.

Charity and Andrew were a pleasure to work with. Charity actually listened to my problems and Andrew never even winced at my silly newbie questions. He explained everything he was doing and even cleaned up when he was done. This company has restored my faith in mankind :-) and the only good thing about my bad experience with the previous plumber is that I found Drain Connection as a result.
Description of Work: Repaired severely leaking bathtub fawcett (removed nut and replaced cartridge), cleared drain, reconnected bathtub pipes that had been cut by previous plumber. Andrew even had to make a run to Lowe's to fine special materials to repair the mess a previous plumber left. I had been told by the previous plumber that I needed the shower valve replaced. Andrew was able to repair the fawcett, saving me a whole lot of time and money.

Two plumbers arrived on time and were able to solve our problems within a reasonable amount of time. They were polite and went about their work quietly. When they were done they cleaned up any mess from the "snake". I will definitely call them again for any plumbing problems.

While this problem did not involve a service call, I have stored his name and will call him if we need one. I was impressed with his honesty and he responded in a timely manner.
Description of Work: We've lived in this house for 35 years and from the start, we had foam on the basement floor around the floor drain when the washing machine emptied. I had sealed it for many years but decided that a drain was desirable. I was going to have the line to the street cleaned to see if that would help the situation. He called me back the same day and said there is little that can be done for that - it is very common. We talked about a possible solution (foam breakers) and I said I would check it out and get back to him.

Workers worked very hard to get the larger hot water heater in its closet space. Workmanship was neat with having to redo all the piping to and from the hot water heater. No increase of price above the estimate was asked for even though the job ended up being more difficult and time consuming. I've used this company before and have always been pleased with their work.
Description of Work: Upgraded a leaking old 40-gallon water heater to a 50-gallon in a very tight space.
