sewer cleaning

I had to call them to come back out when 4 days after the original work, my sewer overflowed into the basement. The first technician spent only about 45 minutes working, but the second visit took almost 2 hours. I was not charged for the second visit and The Drainworks willingly came back to do the job correctly.
Description of Work: The Drainworks snaked out my sewer drain pipe.

They scheduled my service within a few days of my call, they called prior to my appointment and arrived on time. They explained the problem, which fortunately was not as bad as I feared. The problem was fixed quickly and professionally. The cost for resolving the issue was very reasonable and they even gave me tips to avoid the issue in the future.
Description of Work: One of my gutter downspouts was not draining properly - they cleaned out the downspout and snaked the drain to the street.

They were on time and professional for the estimate. We needed approximately 125 feet of drain line replaced (from downspouts and sump to street). However, they were about $200 more expensive than another Angie's List "A" contractor, so we did not hire them. They estimated $1250.

They showed up on time (always appreciated !) and indicated what they were going to do to diagnose the problem. They worked for about an hour and got the line opened again. It was full of roofing nails and debris from my recent roof replacement. They were professional, answered all my questions and cleaned up neatly before leaving. I would definitely call them again if I have any more problems.
Description of Work: The line from my sump pump to the street was not flowing properly. Shawn and Mike cleared the line and tested my other downspouts for proper drainage to the street.

Ninety ft. of line was replaced with thicker, wider pipe. They tunneled under our sidewalk so they could tie the new line into our old curb hole to save us the expense of having a new hole drilled. Our sod was rolled up very neatly and replaced after the work was done. The excess dirt was placed around our foundation and graded away from the house. They also tested the new line with a hose to be sure it was working properly. We were very pleased with the work and you can hardly tell they were even here.

They were helpful, prompt, courteous and communicated well throughout the process. They actually had to snake the drain twice, but in the end the problem is solved. They cleaned up well, I would use them again. The price is high because they did have to return after the repair to snake the line again.

They came out to look at the job but only looked at the downspouts. When I asked them about the drainage system I wanted installed to properly drain the water away from the house, they informed me that they do not do that type of work. They would have to hire a subcontractor to do it for me. At no time was I informed that they used subcontractors for that type of work. That's why I called this company in the first place.
Description of Work: I was having issues with water not properly draining from my home to the street.

Our toilet wasn't flushing properly, and plunging wasn't helping. We thought we would have to have it snaked. The tech came and looked at it, and didn't think snaking would help. We only paid a trip charge, which seems like a lot just to have someone stand there and flush your toilet repeatedly, but it was also cheaper than paying a snake charge (est at several hundred dollars) if it wouldn't have made a difference.

Jeff was recommended to me by a local plumbing company. Called them on Monday, came out Tuesday. Walked through my issues as I saw them, was left to work on his own from there. Not usually the way I do things, but Jeff impressed me so much with his sincerity and demeanor, I knew he was the man. Jeff completed all work quickly and professionally, explained everything to my wife prior to departure, drew a diagram of the layout for my drains and left no evidence whatsoever he was ever there. Then took the time to call me personally after completing the job and walked me through everything that was done as well. Extremely impressed by Jeff and his service.
