Had slow draining causing sewer to backup. Ace's Three plumber showed up Sunday morning and ran a snake down the roof vent, could not clear the problem and said he would return with a larger machine. He returned that evening with a bigger machine but still did not clear the drain and charged $135.00 saying that they would need to put a cleanout. They returned Tuesday, ran a camera and said said the would be back later with different equipment. They returned and ran a snake again and the draining was worse when they left than when they arrived. They was suppose to install a cleanout that never happened. The plumber was writing a ticket for over $800.00 and when I questioned him he called his boss and was told I was not being charged for the camera charge. I got a bill today for $450.00 for a plumbing job that was worse when they left. The total cost from Ace's $135.00 first 2 trips, $450.00 next 2 trips = $585.00.
Called Herman's Plumbing, they came out Wednesday, Ran a camera, found the blockage at 90 feet, that is where Ace's had the problem, and ran a snake down the same drain to the main, 135 feet, and like magic I no longer have a plumbing problem. Total cost &250.00.
Go figure
