They called first to tell me they were on their way. They arrived on time and were very polite. I live in a neighborhood with a lot of trees and they have grown thru the sewer tiles and periodically block the line. Over the past 20 years, I've had several companies here to clear the sewer line. They used their electric snake with a cutter blade to clear the sewer line from the clean out in my basement. I also asked them to use their camera so I could see the type of damage within the line from my house to the city sewer. They cleaned out the line and pulled out numerous tree roots, and cleared the line completely. They even tracked the sewer line so I knew whether it joined the city sewer in the front of my property or the back. They also answered all questions and were extremely helpful. We discussed several options to keep the line clear from now on. They even used a cleaner on the basement floor to clean up the spill from the clean out plug.
Description of Work: My sewer line was backed up and they snaked it with a blade to open it up. They also used their camera to check my sewer line for damage.

Late on a Friday morning I discovered a sewer line backup in our basement. I called the company we have used previously for this type of service and was told that they couldn't send anyone out until Monday. As I did not want to spend the weekend in a hotel, I consulted Angie's List and found Drain Busters. They answered the phone when I called and said they could be there after lunch (about 1 pm). I agreed. About 15 minutes later they called back and said they could come right away. The worker arrived, cleared the clog, and I was on my way back to work by 1 pm.
Description of Work: One person used a snake to clear a clog from our basement sewer drain.

The technician returned my call and arrived at my house in less than an hour. Work was completed promptly. The technician answered all of my questions and helped me understand how the drainage system is configured.
Description of Work: The technician cleared our main drain from the laundry room to the sewer connection. He used his camera to check all of the outside drains which are connected to the gutter system.

Excellent. Highly recommended. Explained what he was doing at all times, what the charges would be, and what my options were, allowing me to decide. Jason is a great guy. The company is just him and his brother-I like dealing with a small company for plumbing needs. They just seem to be a lot more personable and take an interest in the job completing successfully. He was expensive, but no more so than any other plumbing company I have dealt with in the past.
Description of Work: Snaked and scoped our main sewer drain to the street.

Sam was extremely punctual and pleasant as always. Since he didn't have to root out the drain, he didn't charge us, not even for the service call. It seems he is as loyal to us as we are to him!
Description of Work: Sam had been out at least twice before to unclog a floor drain for our house. We have been having some "backwash" problems when it rains and had the city of Columbus out to check the street. The city of Columbus said that it wasn't their problem. So we call Drain Busters. Sam ran some tests and gave us some suggestions about what might be happening but our floor drain was running free and clear!

Company rep was punctual and pleasant and started right in even though I was with another contractor. The drain would not clear but he kept trying even after breaking a tool. Apparently another contractor last year (my one and only non-Angie's list contractor) poured tile grout down the basement drain which has hardened and must be dug out. Jason worked well over an hour, but could not break through the as the trap was completely blocked. He did not charge any additional and showed me a bypass for the drain in lieu of a huge repair bill the a plumber could do fairly easily. An excellent company who I will always use again.
Description of Work: I have an old home with a trap that backs up and it has been getting worse. I wanted drain cleaned out completely.

I like that they were quick to respond on the telephone. We had a clogged down spout and he pined pointed the trouble used camera to save me the time to figure out the problem. They found the problem with the camera. He came out before to snake the drain and told me that this time he won't charge to use the snake to clear the drain again he just will charge me for the camera.
Description of Work: Cleared drain and tried to fix the drain spout they also used the camera to find the problem.

Jason, was very nice/honest, and told me there was no reason to snake out the drains to the curb! I thought this would be needed, and was ready to pay to have it done. Jason, assured me that this was not needed. I would highly recommend him!
Description of Work: We just moved into a 10 year old home last week. After the first rain I noticed that water was not flowing down into the down spout as it should. Water was coming down and flowing out into the ground causing a damp wall in our basement. I called Jason, on Sunday after finding him on Angie's List. He returned my phone call on Monday morning and came right out within one hour. He noticed right away that the connection was not installed properly. He hooked up a hose to make sure this was the problem, which it was. He checked all down spouts around the house and told me everything else was in good working condition.

Overall, I was satisfied. Regarding responsiveness, it did take a few days for them to get back to me; I'd probably chalk it up to a near weekend call with a message stating it was non-emergent. Once they did call first thing Monday, it was done that morning - everything taken care of via phone - which was very convenient. Angies list discount brought the price into a reasonable range.

Sam came out and very quickly figured out the problem. It was so simple, I couldn't believe that nobody else figured it out. The hole that blows water into the toilet was getting filled with corrosion. Sam scraped it out with a piece of a coat hanger. He only charged $40 (a service call) since it turned out to be a small problem. The toilet flushes great now. I definitely recommend this company and will call them again if I need them.
Description of Work: I contacted Jason because I had a toilet that wasn't flushing well. I was having to flush it more than once to get everything to go down. The water would fill up to the top and go down slowly. I'd already had a plumber and a handyman try to resolve the problem with no luck. I think the price quoted was $85 or $95.

Our upstairs bathtub had been draining very slowly and we couldn't figure out the problem. Liquid Plummer didn't work. Even my father-in-law, a former plumber, couldn't fix it even after partially taking apart the pipes. It just kept getting worse and worse until we had to do something. After reading the review in Angie's List, we called Drain Busters hoping they could come out in a day or two. Just a few minutes after I left a message, they called back and said they could have someone out within an hour. Sure enough, Sam came about a half-hour later. He was courteous and after trying a couple things was able to get to the root of the problem. A cap had gotten stuck in the drain and he was able to get it out. The next time we have a problem like this, there's no doubt who we'll call.
Description of Work: Sam cleared an obstruction from our upstairs bathtub.
