Clogged drains are the work at Main Street drain clearing. A recent HomeAdvisor customer said Rich set up an appointment for the next day, fixed the drain issue and charged a reasonable price. HomeAdvisor shows 4.6 stars from 43 ratings, and Angi shows 4.7 stars from 25. A 2025 Google reviewer said Rich came back a second day with a different tool set to unclog a drain filled with roots 75ft downstream, and that the job was done right at a good price. That 2025 reviewer also said he was not the most punctual. A 2024 Google reviewer said Rich came out within an hour of the call and fixed a toilet issue fast. A 2021 HomeAdvisor customer said he spent 2.5 hours on a drain clog that was overflowing a washing machine, came back another day and cleared a larger pipe at no extra charge. A 2020 Angi customer said that after a week without a working toilet, a Friday-night quote request got a phone call within 5 minutes, and he got the job done after about two and a half hours of heavy labor, then cleaned the entire floor before leaving. Some jobs went badly. A 2025 HomeAdvisor customer said two days of snaking a clogged kitchen sink drain brought no results, that a PVC trap cleanout nut was broken, and that Rich charged $250. A 2023 Google reviewer who hired Rich to clean a sewer drain said he showed up 2 hours late, asked for 200 dollars up front for parts, and that after 1000 dollars in cash the drain was still backing up and another company had to fix it. A 2020 Angi customer said the problem was not fixed and that a washing machine and a bathroom wall were damaged. A 2025 HomeAdvisor customer said the service was done correctly but questioned the charge per hour.
Rich contacted me quickly and set up an appointment for next day. He fixed the drain issue and was very efficient and the price was reasonable. Will definitely hire him for future issues and recommend him
Rich got the tub to drain so that's good. Would've had him try to go deeper to retrieve the trip lever and stopper but I have other issues to deal with in regards to fixing my washing machine.
The service was done correctly, but I was somewhat concerned as to why I was charged so much per hour.
Rich is a friendly guys, had to come back a second day to finish the job with a different tool set to unclog a drain that was filled with roots 75ft downstream. Could not have done it without him. Not the most punctual with regards to time, however I was not inconvenienced by it and the job was done right with a good price.
Rich did an amazing job!!! Professional, helpful, thorough, and very knowledgeable. His prices are extremely fair. If you have a clog and want it cleared he’s the man for the job.
