It went very well I have a very old house so there were some challenges, but they were able to work around the plumbing and clear the plug in the entire network of pipes.

My experience with Drains 4 Less worked out just fine. I have used the services of Drains 4 Less. I just had some clogged drains and they cleaned them up. They were close by and their response was quick and the price was reasonable. I haven't had any problems since. My experience with them was an 'A'. They were fine. They did a good job.

I strongly recommend Drains 4 Less. It's a one-man operation. He gets the job done and doesn't push for the sale. He knows his field. A very pragmatic specialist who really cares and tells you what options you have. If you end up spending a bit more, it's because your drain is really clogged and you need a more drastic method that Drains 4 Less can provide. Drains 4 Less is all about common sense. A really good choice. Plus, he's very punctual and explains to you how a draining system works and what you can do to avoid clogging it, etc.

Kitchen sinks,3, were all plugged,use of plunger,snakes,commercial pressure bombs,chemicals were all dead ends.Got online and checked plumbers in my area,one I called was busy but they suggested Drains 4 Less,called them and had a tech scheduled for that afternoon.Dominic showed up and assessed the situation. He was able to remove a plastic cleanout plug I had failed to remove and which I thought was going to have to be drilled out.He then brought out this spendy looking electric snake[I had been at Home Depot that morning ,one of many trips to try and solve this problem,and saw one on sale for 500.00] and was able to run that snake 40' through my plumbing to clean it out,that was an artist at work,he knew how to free up that line every time it got stuck and continue on.I was impressed,this is the first time I have ever had to call a plumber and hopefully the last,but if I do,you know where I going

The plumber is very good. He did an excellent job. He is courteous, friendly, honest, and efficient. He makes good recommendations. He tells me why he is doing what he is doing. He makes suggestions and I like the way he works. He doesn't waste time and he does his best to keep things as long as they can be kept going, but he tells me if something needs to be replaced. He is the best plumber I have ever had.
Description of Work: Drains 4 Less came out three weeks ago and unstuck an old toilet and cleaned up the vents with a wire hanger.

Called for service and left message. Received a call back in about an hour. Schedule to meet at home that same day, between noon and 1:30. Dominic called me at work; he had finished early and could meet me at home at 11:00. Met at home and explained problem: kitchen sink drain was backing up in to laundry room sink. Dominic looked at the areas and recommended two solutions. Cable from kitchen or replace old pipes behind washing machine (old remodel had two galvinized traps behind washing machine and would be difficult to cable) and cable from laundry room out to sewer line. Chose the latter option, with a $400 estimate. Work took approximately two hours. We have a small hole in the sheet rock to repair, but the plumbing work looks great! Dominic tested drains, which cleared immediately. Our laundry room sink has never drained so fast in the 13 years we've lived in our home. Dominic cleaned up the work area, then explained to check the plumbing under our home in a couple of weeks to make sure there are no leeks, especially at the joints. Dominic wrote up our bill, gave us a one time/first time service Angie's member discount, and explained the work was on a 30 day warranty.
Description of Work: Removed old galvinized pipe (with multiple traps) from laundry sink/washing machine to main line and ceiling vent in wall and replaced with ABS pipe. Cabled approximately 45' of pipe to clear clogs from laundry room, through kitchen and bathroom lines, out to main sewer line.

The service from initial phone call to service completion was excellent. I called and spoke to Debbie around 10:00 am and explained the problem. She very quickly quoted me the service cost, Angie's List service coupon included, and worked with me on scheduling same day service. Per my request she set up a 2:30 pm service call. About an hour before my appointment, Dominick, the service tech, called to make sure I'd be able to get home from work to get the job done. At 2:28 pm I pulled into my driveway to find Dominick waiting for me. After a quick check of an adjacent sink drain to make sure that was draining properly, he went right to work and had the clogged removed in very short order. In addition to be very competent and professional, Dominick was courteous and very good natured. Although clogged drains are a nuiscence, I would not hesitate to call Drains 4 Less to deal with another one.

I called first thing Monday morning, and he was out that afternoon. As promised, they phoned me at work 1/2 hour before they arrived so I had time to get home. I appreciated their consideration in missing as little of work as possible. I also appreciated the explanations of what was wrong and why. I absolutely would hire them again.

I phoned the company and spoke to Debra. She said she could get someone over the same day around noon. But, I had to go pick up guests at the airport at that time and was hoping someone could come sooner. She said that she could try and Dominic came 30 minutes earlier than expected which was great because it gave me more time to get to the airport. Dominic was very friendly and fast. Excellent work.
Description of Work: The bathroom sink was draining really slowly. It had been getting slower over time, but I had company coming to stay with me so decided I finally needed to get it fixed. The shower also drained slowly but not as bad as the sink. Dominic came and cleaned out the drain in the sink and even corrected the height of the drain stopper, something I didn't even notice was incorrect. He also recommended I get the drain in the shower done at the same time but it was up to me what I wanted to do. I had him go ahead and take care of the whole thing and I believe I paid a very reasonable price for excellent service, a job well done and he was super fast! I was able to have a normal flowing drain for my guests.

It went magnificently; Dominic to the rescue! We were totally stymied, night was falling, water on the bathroom floor was rising. Poor Dominic had to abandon a golf tournament he was watching on TV, leave his family, and come charging over on a Friday night, and he did so, and competently and cheerfully took charge of the mess. He had to improvise parts for the job, requiring several trips to the truck. And he did a completely professional job. We are grateful.
Description of Work: Husband tried to replace fill valve in toilet. Discovered, too late, he could not turn off the defective water cutoff valve on toilet. Could not find main cutoff. It was Friday night. Water on floor was rising. Dominic came, shut off water, fixed toilet, put in new fill valve and new cutoff valve, both tasks required considerable improvisation given our ancient and non standard plumbing fittings. Took about 3 hours. Completely satisfactory fix.

The plumber cleared our bathtub drain. He also volunteered to check the sewer installation under our new house, and did so. He worked promptly, got the job done, was kind and helpful and came when he said he would. This was our second experience with this company; both were excellent. His offer to check out the pipes in the crawl space was purely helpfulness, since he does not do pipe replacement and did not stand to benefit if we needed alterations. He was honest and caring. I highly recommend the company.

Don arrived when he said he would. He went to the basement and "cabled out" the shower drain. It did not take long as it was all hair blockages. He gave me a 30-day guarantee on the work.

A family-run business that offers more personal service. Dominic really cares about his customers.
Description of Work: Spent almost 2 hours at my home diagnosing a problem that I have been having with the floor drain in the basement laundry room. Have had another plumbing company out several times for the same problem but it continued to happen. Water coming up out of drain. Dominic is very good at taking the time to determine what is actually wrong and now our drainage problem is finally solved. He also offered tips to help us avoid future issues.
