Outstanding service!!! We just had a toilet overflow while I was draining water from the kitchen sink. The problem was a backed up sewer line and we have a large backyard. The technician, Oleg, was fabulous! He was polite, personable, and efficient! I could not ask for better service and was so thankful to have the pipe cleaned out so everything could drain out of the house.

By far the BEST experience I've had with a service contractor in Lawrence. They were on time, friendly, patient and affordable. Highly recommended!

Floyd's Drain is employee-owned, and wonderful. They solved a show-stopper clogged drain problem at the Lawrence Creates Makerspace and left the place looking great. These are hard working, honest folks, and deserve our business. Shop local and hire your neighbors!

I would've give 0/5 stars but I can't.

I tried to get an estimate from this company, called a couple days ago and they said they will page the technician to contact us. No one call us. Today, I called 4 times. They told me the same thing, they will page the technician, but no one called, again. The 4th time, they told us we just have to find someone else to do the job. Is that how you do your business? Very disappointed. Ridiculous.

Fabulous! Had a problem with the main drain in the basement of historic home. After calling and dealing with a big-name *cough* Roto-rooter *cough* business in town and being told it would cost nearly $600 for him to INSTALL a new something-something-blah-blah, I called Floyd's at 1, they were here by 4, done by 5. Fair price for service and very friendly. I am very satisfied and happy to know there are still honest businesses out there that get the job done quickly and for a reasonable price.

These guys are great! Very professional, great work ethic, and friendly service. They are a local business to boot! Floyd's Drain Cleaning has the latest technology to handle any drain or sewer problem that might come about. I would refer them to anyone I know.
Right down the old pipe

Had a blocked sewer line on a Sunday night. Our home has an old house trap set up which can make having the lines cleaned out especially difficult. We called Flyod's on Monday morning and by 10:00 they had a worker by the name of Oleg at our door.

Oleg was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. He had the pipe cleared out in record time and explained the process throughout. I highly recommend Flyod's to anyone who needs their pipes cleared in the Lawrence area, doubly so if you have a house trap or other complicating issue.

Five Stars.

My floor drain was overflowing with raw sewage and it was a Sunday morning. I had a bad feeling that either I would be unable to find an open business or I would pay through the nose to get it fixed. My plumber friend recommended Floyd's so I checked them out on Yelp. I noticed a couple negative reviews that had bad things to say about the answering service, but that aspect of the business was the least of my concerns so I called anyway. The lady at the answering service said somebody would contact me in 30 minutes, which they did. I spoke to a person named Jonathan and he and his coworker Alex came out about an hour later. They gave me a quote up front and had the drain cleared in less than 45 minutes. My cleanout valve is in my basement and they laid out a tarp to keep the area clean. There was a clog in the line about 45 feet away from my house that was causing the problem. Nice guys and they got the job done quickly for well under $200 which was cheaper than I expected for Sunday rates. Who knows how much it would have cost if I had called Roto Rooter instead (I'm guessing a lot more). I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, but hopefully I won't need to.

My business has a recurring drain problem; the first time I called a plumber, he took hours and had to call in another company. Total combined bill came to over $500. The next time it happened I called Floyd's and thought, seriously? One hour and only $100? I always go to these guys when i have a problem, at work or at home. Every call I've had since then has cost about $100-125, much less than the first guys.

I made an appointment to get an estimate on a sewer line job. They didn't show up and no phone call. I called again. They apologized for a mix up and made another appointment. Again no show. Called again, another mix up. Finally a guy came out talked to me about the job. Said he'd put together an estimate. I called a week later and never got a response to my request for an estimate. My friend later told me she used Floyd's a year ago and they had to come back to repair their flawed work. Save yourself the aggravation and go somewhere else.

Prompt and professional. Unclogged my kitchen sink in no time. Checked out my dishwasher overflow, but didn't have the part needed to fix the problem. I would use this company again.

Amazing! I am new to the world of septic tanks and was completely overwhelmed when our main drain backed up at 5PM on Sunday night of a holiday weekend! We called several businesses and Floyd's was the only one who even returned our call. The service tech didn't slow down for a minute and made sure the problem was resolved before leaving. Anyone who will spend 2 hours head first down a septic tank on a Sunday night has my vote! Besides all of that, the price was very reasonable.

I was gonna call one of those bigger outfits, but my dad recommended Floyd's. So I called at like 8:30 the morning after a holiday weekend, thinking it would be a couple days at least. But they called me right back and told me Alex would be there between 10-2. So I'm thinking it'd be like 1:30ish. He arrived at 9:50! He actually beat me home!!

Could not be happier. Alex was quick, thorough, personable and professional. Would DEFINITELY use again. Highly recommended!

We've used Floyd's Drain Cleaning in our home for over a decade now. Having an older home we always have some kind of problem with drainage. It doesn't help that I shove way too much down the garbage disposal all the time. The price is very reasonable and much less than a plumber, and they respond extremely quickly day or night. Highly recommended.

Had slow drain. Alex was out within a few hours and cleared the drain.
Prompt, professional, and courteous.

I had an emergency with the plumbing water backing up into the basement. Alex came on a Sunday afternoon with a great attitude and cleaned our sewer line, persevering until he found the clog. Alex was an incredibly friendly and professional individual who did not give up until he found the issue. Much appreciation, Alex! Now I see why Floyd's Drain Cleaning is one of the Best of Lawrence.
