Description of Work: Camera located buried septic tank. |They did a good job, the gent was polite and good to my house, put on shoe covers and laid a tarp to protect my carpet the best he could, I appreciated that. |The cost for the use of the camera is pretty steep for what it is, I was a bit put off on that.

They were very professional and explained all the possible problems to me in a comprehensive way. I was especially pleased that they came out the second time for free and helped me solve the problem for good. Also, they came out the same day I called both times, which was convenient.
Description of Work: My house downspouts are connected to pvc pipes that go underground toward the sewer. One was backed up and I asked them to unclog it. They put their roto-rooter machine in the tube and it hit solid mud, which meant that the tube was broken. They told me that if I dug up the tube to see where it was broken, they would come back for free and scope the rest. A few weeks later, I dug it up and discovered that the tube was separated from an elbow joint near the downspout. They came out and re-did the roto-rooter work. They found that the line again was hitting solid mud about 1 foot from where I had dug it out. They continued digging for me and discovered that the tube simply ended, rather than running all the way to the sewer. This second visit was free, as they had indicated before.

They did a great job. They have also done some excavation for us in the past and we have used them several times. They were very prompt and when we called them they came right out. They did not take a long time getting the job done and we did not feel like they were dragging it on for money. Everything was very straightforward and they took care of the issue.
Description of Work: We used Allen Drain Service Inc. within the last 3 months because we had some back flow and clogged drains.

Allen Sewer Service employees arrived promptly and proceeded to snake out sewer drain in basement (>90 feet), and laundry tub drain (5 feet). Work was completed in about one half hour. Both servicemen were knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely hire Allen Drain service again for future work. Great service at a fair price.

Upon arrival I showed the service man where we had a problem. He inspected are area and looked at the plumbing in the basement. He used several snakes to clean out the drain, and explained to me that in an older house (ours is 125+ years old) they experience years of build up. He discussed some tips on how to maintain our drains. He also backed up his work with a 90 day warranty.
Description of Work: The kitchen sink wouldn't drain and would back up when running the dish washer. The service man cleaned the drain using two different snakes.

I had a great past experience with Frecka Plumbing so I called them when my sewer line got plugged. They were not able to do the job for several days so they recommended Allen Drain Service. I called and they were able to come out the same day (today). I had the sewer line snaked only about a month ago by Roto-Rooter (Akron- at a cost of about $600) and they had to come out again a couple of weeks later (which they did for free based on their guarantee). The second time Roto-Rooter came out they told me that they could not honor their guarantee any longer since they thought there was a problem with the tiles in the line. Frecka recommended that I have the line snaked again and then put a camera down the line to see how the tiles looked before going to the big expense of ripping up the lawn and replacing the tiles. I'm glad I took their advice! Allen Drain Service snaked out the line and pulled out a lot of roots that Roto-Rooter missed (twice!), then showed me the picture that the camera was taking of the inside of the tile. They showed me that there was no problem with the line and there was no reason to replace it. (Also said that they thought Roto-Rooter is a joke!) Also, they only charged $160 for the snaking job, a fraction of the cost that Roto-Rooter charged! The camera was the more expensive part of the job (expensive equipment, I was told), but well worth the expense since it saved me the huge cost of replacing the tile. They even gave me a VHS video tape of the camera picture going down the line! The two Allen Drain Service guys were efficient and friendly and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: I had them snake the sewer line from the house to the street and run a camera through the line to inspect the inside of the tiles.

I called the Monday after Christmas and they were able to send someone out the very next day. We needed them to get my old toilet seat off my toilet and replace it with a new one we had bought months before. I was told the cost would be a $55 service call and I was fine with that. When Scott, the friendly service technician, arrived, he went to work and was surprised at just how stuck the old nuts and bolts were. After several trips out to his truck to grab some different tools, he levered each of those rusted, frozen nuts and bolts off while lying on the floor in a very uncomfortable position. He really had to put his muscle into it and the job took much longer than he anticipated (almost an hour), but he said that he would still only charge me $55 since that was what I had been promised. I really appreciated that!! And best of all, he successfully got that old nasty toilet seat off and put the beautiful new one on! My husband had been unable to manage it, so it was well worth the money to have someone come in and take care of it. Scott was friendly, nice to my dogs and didn't complain about being spread across my bathroom floor for the better part of an hour. He didn't charge me more even though he was there for quite a while. What more could you ask for? I was extremely happy with the service and will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: We had a recalcitrant toilet seat that we wanted to replace, but simply could not get off and we'd had the new toilet seat for months. I called and asked if Allen Drain could help me out even though it wasn't exactly within their usual scope of services. They said they'd be glad to do it for a $55 service call. I had company coming and really wanted to get this taken care of, so I gladly accepted. The service tech, "Super Scott," went through several tools and quite a bit of muscle power to get the old frozen nuts and stripped bolts off so he could remove the old seat and put the new one on. This required him to lay on our bathroom floor at a very awkward angle for quite some time while he worked.

We were having backup in our lowest bathroom for days. We contacted another company to perform the job, but after three days were told we were not going to be serviced. When we called Allen Drain it was an emergency. They arrived within hours of our call. It was a Friday evening before a holiday weekend. They came without complaint. The job was performed quickly. The employee was friendly and took pride in his job. We paid a premium price for the quick response, but they made a lifetime customer.

THE WORK THAT THIS COMPANY ACTUALLY PERFORMED WAS SATISFACTORY. WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THEIR RELUCTANCE TO FIRST QUOTE, THEN CONFIRM THEIR QUOTE IN WRITING AND WHEN PRESSED TO DO SO, DECLINED TO PERFORM. WE REPORTED THEIR ACTIONS TO THE LOCAL BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AS WELL.
Description of Work: MARCH 20, 2004 - CLEARED A BACKED-UP SANITARY DRAIN BY SNAKING THROUGH THE ROOF VENT BUT WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETELY CLEAR AND RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION OF OUTSIDE "CLEAN-OUT". WE CALLED THE FOLLOWING WEEK REQUESTING AN ESTIMATE OF COST AND SCHEDULING OF RECOMMENDED WORK. WE GOT NO RESPONSE, EVEN THOUGH WE REPEATEDLY CALLED, RECEIVING PROMISES BUT NO ACTION. APRIL 24, 2004 - DRAIN BACK-UP HAPPENED AGAIN. THEY RESPONDED PROMPTLY AND AGAIN CLEARED THE DRAIN TO THE LIMIT OF THEIR EQUIPMENT, AGAIN RECOMMENDING THE "CLEAN-OUT" INSTALLATION. WE AGAIN, REPEATEDLY, CALLED FOR AN ESTIMATE AND WERE FINALLY GIVEN A VERBAL ESTIMATE OF $685.00. WE REPEATEDLY REQUESTED WRITTEN CONFIRMATION OF THE COST, EXTENT OF WORK AND SCHEDULING WITHOUT RESPONSE. JUNE 21, 2004 - WROTE A LETTER CONFIRMING OUR REQUEST FOR A WRITTEN QUOTATION AND RECEIVED A WRITTEN RESPONSE, DATED JUNE 30, 2004, STATING "AT THIS TIME, WE WOULD REQUEST THAT YOU CONTACT ANOTHER COMPANY TO INSTALL THE CLEAN-OUT ACCESS."
