In a 2026 review, a customer with an emergency draining issue said James came right out at the end of the day and got the issue resolved. In a 2026 review from February, a customer said James came out the next morning and, working in an unheated garage, snaked nearly 20 feet to reach and remove the clog. In a 2025 review, a customer said James found the blockage in their drain pipes, cleared the pipes in a couple of hours and identified the cause, a bow in the PVC leaving the house. In another 2025 review, a customer with a backed-up main drain to their septic tank said James showed up an hour after their 9am call and solved the problem within 1 hour. In a 2023 review, a customer said James cleared a root blockage in their sewer drain line. In a 2016 review, a customer said he brought in the jet and, with the assistance of a camera, removed the roots in their main sewer line. In another 2016 review, a customer said James cleaned their leach lines by hydro jetting. In a 2026 review, a customer who called about an emergency drain issue said the person who answered the phone told them "Im not up for an emergency tonight".
James is very personable, he explained everything that he was doing. He finished in a timely manner and cleaned up afterwards. I would recommend him to friends and family.
Called for an emergency drain issue and the individual that answered the phone indicated and I quote “ Im not up for an emergency tonight”
I was having an emergency draining issue and James came right out (at the end of the day) to rectify my problem. He was professional, presentable and full of knowledge. Got my issue resolved and was able to teach me how to avoid future issues. Hire with confidence.
James was very responsive and was able to come out the next morning to fix a completely clogged drain. He was professional, took the time to explain what he was doing, and asked about what I had already tried before he started. Even working in an unheated garage during record cold temperatures, he stayed at it and snaked nearly 20 feet to reach and remove the clog. Great service and helpful prevention tips — I would definitely recommend him.
James came when our first company was unable to help. He diagnosed and fixed our problem faster than I could have hoped for.
