Chris is what you want . Made time for an emergency . We had back up in basement . We got on his emergency list that day just hrs later. Fixed the back up in pipe . Located a root growing in pipe . Used a camera to find this obstruction. Had a tool to shred the root inside the pipe . He fixed the drain upstairs also . No on has been able to do what he did . We were told we needed new plumbing and to rip our house apart to do so. Thanks again Chris . We are now on an annual clean out schedule. The Burkheads from Lincoln me.
Chris helped us with our septic drain emergency. He came when he said he would, was very knowledgeable and well equipped for the job. He showed us video of the condition of our drains and gave sound advice. Also just a good guy and nice to talk to. Thanks Chris!
Chris showed up when he said he would, he was extremely pleasant, he cleared the clog and gave great advice. Highly recommend.
If you are looking for a plumbing repair or drainage issue to be resolved quickly and thoroughly, then look no further than PDS! Chris is a true professional, who not only puts the customer first, but knows his stuff. I called PDS after we had an overnight blockage and some water leakage in the basement. Chris got right back to me and was able to address the issue same day. He was exceptionally thorough ensuring to check every potential before he quickly identified the root cause of the clogged drain. He got us back up and running in no time, and put in all the effort at an incredibly reasonable price. PDS will be our go-to moving forward and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a professional they can trust to do the job right and at a fair price.
