I was able to make an appointment the next morning after I called to make an appointment which happened to be a Saturday. Sam snaked our floor drain in the basement to solve our water backup problem. He also gave us some ideas to help prevent the problem in the future. I wouldn't hesitate to call them back if I needed my drain busted in the future.

He was very quick, thorough, and told me what he was going to do and how much it would be before he did it. I also got a 6 month warranty. He did not make a mess.

Fantastic. Great work. Great guys. Jason sent for Sam to bring a replacement sump pump and he was there in minutes. When I called, I said it was not a priority call, yet he got to the house within the hour of my phone call. Very polite and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: Sump pump stopped draining during the winter. Was not sure if it was a clogged pipe. When plugged in, pump seemed to be working but no water left the well. Jason tested drainage around the house. Inspected the sump pump and plumbing to and from pump from all around the house. Replaced sump pump and provided insight into future prevention.

Great. Called Jason at 9am. He was here by 10, one by 10:30. Really polite and efficient. Gave me a lot of helpful advice and information. Drainbusters was listed first on Angie's List and I can see why. I recommend the company with no reservations. Very happy.

Drain Busters was able to schedule a same-day appointment, which was very nice. I asked them to call me before they got to my house so I could come home from work and let them in, and they did. The job was done very quickly and pleasantly. I'll definitely use them again.

Jason arrived in a timely fashion and promptly cleared the clog in the sewer line. He diagnosed it as tree roots and a possible line shift at the city main connection. When asked if we should have him use his pipe camera to check the line, he said it wasn't necessary - we appreciated his honesty on this since it would have added to the bill substantially. He was unable to clear the smaller drain. We think the drain is simply not a functional drain anymore, but he gave it his best shot.
Description of Work: Jason augured out our sewer drain and attempted to auger a small drain in our basement.

Jason is very nice, however, he couldn't find anything wrong. He said that he checked all the lines and could find no leak. He charged for a service call and no discount applied for Angie's List unless the cost was over $50. My husband later found that the drainage tube from the water softener had fallen from the pipe into which it emptied. We simply put the fallen tube back into the drainage pipe and the leak stopped. I was a bit concerned that Jason did not check for simple solutions like that. The good news is that we were able to find the problem before too much damage occurred to our basement.
Description of Work: We had a large leak in our basement. We had no idea from where it was coming.

Response from Drain Busters
FIRST OF ALL THIS RESPONSE REALLY HURTS US, AS YOU CAN READ WE HAVE VERY PROUD AND GREAT CUSTOMERS!! WE ARE CALLED DRAINBUSTERS NOT LEAKBUSTERS. WHEN SHE CALLED SHE SAID HER BASEMENT WAS FLOODED ? WHEN WE GOT THERE ALL THERE WAS WAS WATER ON THE FLOOR, NOTHING BACKED UP. WE EVEN RAN ALL THE WATER TO FIND SOME SORT OF BACKUP. NOTHING EVER BACKED UP. WE SPENT A GOOD 20 MINUTES AT THIS HOUSE. THEY HAD SO MUCH STUFF IN BASEMENT THAT IT WAS HARD TO SEE IF THERE WAS A LEAK. WE DON'T DO LEAKS, WE DO BACK UPS. WE DON'T THINK $30 IS BAD FOR A SERVICE CALL EITHER, SOME COMPANY'S CHARGE $50. GAS ISN'T CHEAP. THANKS!! JASON SAYRE (OWNER)

Not even one problem. I called on 2/8/07, talked to Jason, explained that water backed up and on the floor when the washer drained. Jason said they could be out that afternoon if I would be home. Jason's brother Sam made the call. I had said to both Jason and Sam that 8 or 9 years my father had to have the main drain cleared of roots. Sam could have cleaned the main and the floor drain, this would have resulted in a much higher bill. He said he would clean out the shorter drain first, lucky for me that opened up the drain. It has been 2 weeks and everything is working just fine.

Our kitchen drain was clogged so my husband and I took apart the pipes underneath to clear it. We could not clear it and when we put the pipes back together, they leaked! I left Drain Busters a message late evening on their office line and they called me back later that same evening and scheduled an appointment for the following morning. They did a great job cleaning out the the drain and found our error with a backwards washer in putting our pipes back together. They were very friendly and easy to work with. Great job!
Description of Work: Drain Busters came in and snaked our kitchen drain to clear a clog. It was a bit tricky due to some weird turns in our plumbing, but they got the job done quickly and cleaned up completely afterwards!

Great! We called Jason and told him what we suspected. He said he would have to come a different day when it wasn't raining due to the nature of our issue. When he came out the next day, I explained I may have a clog in one of my drains leading to the street and we thought this may be causing our gutter to back up, thus possibly causing a leak in the roof. So we wanted to check this out first. He quickly put a hose down the downspout and checked the street for flow. We found that it was running clearly. He then gave me suggestions for what may be causing the overflow and also suggested possible service companies that he knows. Overall he stayed about a 1/2 hour and was polite and courteous. He did not charge me even for coming out, since he was in the area, and no work was performed.
Description of Work: I called Jason because I was concerned that I had a clogged drain leading from my downspout to the street.

I called at 8 in the evening expecting to leave a message for the next day. They answered the phone and I set up an appointment for early the next morning. Sam showed up on time and was knowledgeable and efficient. The pipe under my kitchen sink was loose and leaks sometimes, he fixed that for me as well.
Description of Work: The tub stopped draining and was backing up with standing water from the kitchen. Pipes under the tub were also leaking into the basement when water was draining in the kitchen sink. Sam snaked the pipes in the kitchen unclogging the main drain that the tub and the kitchen were connected to.

I would definitely use this company again and recommend them to anyone. Both men were very professional and worked hard to clear the drain pipe. Chuck was here for almost three hours, and the owner for almost an hour, so I was amazed that the cost was only $175 (with Angie's List discount). They also cleaned the mess up in the basement completely!
Description of Work: Water backed up in my kitchen sink last evening. I called Drain Busters first thing this morning and Chuck showed up about 10:30. As it turned out, another company's 'snake' from a previous time (see the report for J.A. Myers Plumbing about snake breaking off in pipe) was stuck in the drain tile. Chuck tried for a good while to remove it before finally calling the owner who came out. Jason worked on it for about an hour and finally pulled the snake out.

Fantastic experience! When I initially called Drain Busters and describe the problem, Jason suggested a solution over the phone, before coming to the house and told me to call him back if the problem still persisted. Well, it did, so I phoned Jason and he scheduled the service call for the same day and was even early! He persevered until he found the source of the odor. I was delighted!

Price: Unbelievable, thanks! Responsiveness: Left message, called returned in 10 minutes. Oops: We asked that they call before they stop by as there was no appointment time. They forgot to call. BUT Sam recognized his error and apologized for failing to do so. Professional: Clean, polite, explained what he was doing. OVERALL: We're really happy with Drain Busters and the entire experience!
Description of Work: Jetting of semi-solid obstruction in drain pipe (kitchen clog). We already knew where the clog was. Sam brought the jet downstairs, plugged it in, pelted the sludge-ball with water under high pressure, and now we don't have a backed-up drain anymore.

Jason was very quick to respond, professional, and he explained every part of the process to me. I would definitely use him in the future and recommend him to others.
Description of Work: Sewage was backing up into my basement drain. Jason came out, used two methods to clear the drain, and when he found an obstruction, offered me the option of running the camera through the drain to discover the problem. What he found was a potential issue with the city line, and he advised me to contact them to prevent any future problems. He cleared my line completely to the city line, and I haven't had any problems since.

Both Jason and Sam were very polite. Once they got into the tub drain it turned out to be a complicated job, but they were creative and found a way to remove the clog. We are very happy with their work. I called them at 9:00 this morning and they arrived before noon.
