Let it be known fellow Yelpers, Yelp Community: the grand daddy of all clogs that is unholy graced me with its presence this weekend. After decades of greasy abuse thrown down my condo's drain, the pipes said enough is enough and decided very conveniently that it could take it no longer, and stop draining.
After 10 minutes on youtube, I decided to beat this clog into submission myself. I threw a box of baking soda, a jug of white vinegar, and some gallons of boiling water down the throat of this monster clog to no avail. In fact, it made the clog worse--it done pissed it off and clogged it even more. The many years of grease stuck in there was akin to someone drinking their favorite bacon grease as a side bev during a summer BBQ.
I put a distress call on here, and EZ Sewers was one of a half dozen plumbing companies that replied in the most expeditious manner. It was as if my 'emergency' was their emergency. Cristian, the owner himself, replied to my mass call for a plumber with an instant free quote and was very timely in his replies to my messages. Moreover, he was able to squeeze me in to his busy schedule (for next day service that I requested) as if I was the only customer on his appointment book.
Come service day, he arrived promptly and was courteous and amiable the entire time. He got straight to work and found that this demon clog of mine was: (1) stuck in a drainage pipe that was practically cemented on to a fitting; and (2) the clog itself was pretty much like the gunk in Elvis' arteries after all them peanut butter, bacon, banana sandwiches.
He stated that snaking this beast would definitely fix it, BUT only temporarily, as it essentially, would be putting a band-aid on a reoccurring wound. The best and most feasible solution to rid the pipes of this clog was to hydrojet the pipes, clearing the foreign mass back into oblivion. Although a costlier option than simply snaking the pipe, hydro-jetting is a much longer lasting option WITH a (limited) warranty.
Cristian offered his expert solutions the entire time and was not a pushy salesman throughout the ordeal. His professionalism, timeliness in the matter, and overall quality of work is commendable, in a market teaming with droves of plumber tradesmen competing for your business.
I would not hesitate to contact Cristian & EZ Sewers for my home's next plumbing project(s).
