Best Drain Cleaning in Kansas City MO

Gene is a nice guy. Does a great job!!!! Got all my Plumbing done at a very fair price. Keep On Truckin gene!!

Follow-up review. After continuing service with them another four years we finally got the news we were anticipating for awhile. The central heating and air conditioning units that were in the house when we moved in before out 22 yr. old daughter was born were headed for replacement. Cheaper to do both at once and today was the day.

Cha-ching. That kind of equipment and installation is pricey. You know that, I know that.

Guys arrive at 7:30 a.m., are out of the house by 4:30 p.m. (my wife even made lunch for them) and everything installed including a walk-through to show us the new gear, and... wow, immediately, the heater is running less, running quieter, better moisture in the air. We're more comfortable, win-win. We are really happy. Installation looks like a million bucks and we are set for a long time now. Amazing how this company continues to really impress us.

Sure, go ahead and use Yelp to review that espresso shop for the 500th time. Never know when that might be critical, but a business like this and less than a handful off reviews? That's just sad. Take a good look at this one. These folks kill it with superior service.

This company is an absolute treasure.

My shower handle broke at 7:15 in the morning and wouldn't shut off (my house water shutoff also wasn't working). I called Stine-Nichols in a panic wondering if I'd be able to make it in to work today.

Not only did they respond and follow-up immediately, they had a plumber at my house within 30 minutes. He was friendly, efficient, and thorough with his work.

I absolutely recommend Stine-Nichols for anyone with a plumbing emergency - not only will they respond and repair quickly, but their rates are VERY reasonable and fair, and their employees are friendly and helpful as they could be!

Let me share a story about my experience with Rick Ramsey of Affordable Plumbing & Sewer.

First, a little background...

My wife and I came home one day to a foul smell in our house. Long story short, I went downstairs to find our sump pump full of water/sewage and it was STEAMING. I ended up finding out that our sump pump motor had stopped working, but was still on and it was heating the water. You can imagine how fun it was using a ShopVac to clean up that mess.

Anyway, I ended up having another company (I wish I would have found Rick earlier) replace the sump pump motors in both of our sump pump pits. I then had the sewer line camera'd (I used a great company for this...again, before I found Rick as he does this too) and they basically told me that we had cracks in pipes from both of the stacks in our house.

And now the hunt for a quality sewer line replacement company in Kansas City began. I talked to the guys that installed the sump pumps, but wasn't confident in their abilities and just didn't have a good feel for them. I looked on Angie's List and contacted one of the companies, who came out and told me what they thought needed to be done. But when I got the quote, it was extremely high. I replied back to them and said I'm not going to pay several mortgage payments to have this done.

So again I did a Google Search and that's when I came across Rick Ramsey and Affordable Plumbing and Sewer. I called Rick and told him what was going on. He came out that night (around 6:30 p.m.) and walked through the situation with me. He told me what needed to be done and how he thought it would work. He later sent me a proposal and I agreed to move forward.

Rick initially thought it would take a day to get the work done, but as can happen with projects of this scope, it ended up taking longer (but he didn't increase the price as his proposal included a fixed price for labor and materials...something he advised me to request no matter who I hired to do the work).

Rick was at our house for a couple of days and jackhammered up the floor in a few spots, replaced two stretches of sewer line from two different stacks in our house, replaced the kitchen drain line (which we also found out had cracks in it), removed all of the concrete and debris (and believe me...there was a TON of it), cleaned out our sewer line all the way to the city main (and brought back some tree roots with it), and installed two new toilets that we purchased.

Rick also educated me on how the plumbing industry works in Kansas City and, frankly, it made me sick to my stomach. Needless to say, there are a lot of consumers getting screwed by two-bit plumbers and also companies that spend thousands of dollars to market on the radio and tv every month.

I was dreading (literally almost sick to my stomach) this project before it started...just imagining having my basement floor torn up, dust everywhere throughout our house from the jackhammering, etc, etc....and in the end I'm so very thankful I found Rick because he did quality work for a quality price. On top of it all, I felt like he was honest with me throughout the process...and that's something that isn't common in his industry.

I highly recommend Rick Ramsey and Affordable Plumbing and Sewer if you ever have plumbing needs. And I hope you never have to go through sewer line replacement like I did, but if you do, Rick is the guy to call.

I know it's unusual for me to get all excited about anything which isn't food.  With that said, as far as I'm concerned, if you're needing any plumbing needs, you need not look any farther than Snake n Rooter.

I've had to call on Snake n Rooter for their services a few times over the past few years.  The first time I used them was because I had a coupon, and I don't even remember what the coupon was for.  I do remember, however, WHEN I called them.  It was a Saturday afternoon and I had some unsavory business going on in my basement.  Being that it was a Saturday afternoon, I was expecting to get raped (and not kissed!) with weekend rates, or I figured I'd have to put up with the unsavoryness (is that even a word??) until the following week.

Well, the first thing that impressed me about Snake n Rooter was the fact A REAL PERSON ANSWERED THE PHONE ON THE WEEKEND!!  AND THERE WAS NO AUTOMATED, PRESS THIS BUTTON, SAY THIS THING NONSENSE!!  It's been a love affair ever since.  So, a real person answered the phone, she was extremely pleasant and let me know she could have someone out to my home the same day and, wait for it, WITHIN THE HOUR!!!

True to her word, a very polite and very clean gentleman showed up not long after I got off the phone.  Not only did he take care of the basement issue, but he gave me a suggestion of what to do to prevent that situation from happening again.  And for the coupe de grace, the charge was extremely reasonable AND there was no extra charge for the weekend appearance.

I was sold!

Most recently, I had to use their services again today, this time for a clogged tub.  Once again, a very nice young lady answered the phone (on a Saturday!) and let me know she'd have someone out as soon as she could.  After maybe an hour, the plumber was here and had the issue taken care of in about 20 minutes.  And once again, the plumber provided some insight on what could be done to help prevent the issue in the future.  

In short, not only is Snake n Rooter fast, reliable and reasonable, but they don't look to rip you off either.  They will provide cost estimates over the phone, but remember, it's an ESTIMATE.  to that end, the estimates, at least in my experience, have been pretty spot on.

I am definitely a fan and I would highly recommend Snake n Rooter for any plumbing emergencies.

Had an appointment set up for 10am on a Friday. Nobody showed up, but I figured I would give it until noon to call their office to see what the hold up was. When I got a hold of their office, I was told there had been a miscommunication on their end, and each plumber thought someone else was coming to our house. They were very sorry, and said someone would be there in another 45 mins to an hour. Well, I waited another 2 hours, and still nobody showed up or even called. It all was pretty unprofessional. I ended up googling and fixing my plumbing problem myself. At least I saved the money...but definitely calling a different plumber next time.

My wife called them to have our tub drain unclogged and was quoted at 130.00 for 100' snake service on drains. And extra fees for beyond that 100'. Which sounded reasonable and we were assured that most homes never really needed any extra snaking last the 100'. The guy gets here. He was a nice guy. Told me he couldn't put a snake down the drain because of the type of drain spout that was installed. (No other plumber has had a problem snaking it). So I show him the basement where everything is. He told me I should put a drain clean out so when/if he comes back, he can get to it easier and have it done in 20 min. He also told me he only had 30' of snake.......(Why tell people they get 100' of snaking but only carry 30'). So he fought eight the pipes to get them open. He gets the drain cleaned... but a ton of water all over the floor. Our basement is unfinished and we are not unfamiliar with a little standing water in the coroner after a rain but to have standing water because of pipe unclogging.

After all that. He fills out the ticket and charges an extra $100 dollars for extra effort of having to go through the pipes in the basement. Left the garage side door wide open when he left and the gate to our yard as well. Irritating because I had the dogs in the bedroom and they were barking through the door at him as he walked by. He apparently had no regard for other people's home in terms of letting all the bugs, mice and who knows what else in our house. Let alone heating and cooling.  

Would not recommend this company.

Update: some of our stuff in the basement has been ruined and is being thrown away. A folding chair and Christmas ornaments primarily. Simple things to most people but when they contain memories it's still significant.

First time with Anthony... called today with an upstairs bath entirely backed up and draining into the first floor.  Called at 3:29 and they showed up at 4:15.  Put on their booties and followed me upstairs.  Within 2-3 minutes  Darin diagnosed the issue and gave me a quote for the work to fix.  I signed their electronic form and within the hour I had a fully functioning bathroom (toilet, shower, and sinks).  Bathroom was a mess when they got there and was clean when they left.  Before they left my receipt was in my email.  They were personable, professional and efficient.  Will call them again and will consider their monthly plans.

Extremely dissatisfying service from Gary Peterson. I wanted to have someone come and check the sewer and clean it up and also find a possible reason for the blockage. I called A1 services and they sent Peterson to me for the service saying they charge $100+. The base charge is 100 and if there is more problems found they would charge me more, understood. Peterson, In the beginning was very polite and friendly and was talking about what and all he is going to do to diagnose the problem and quoted me for $225.l told him that I'm not planning to spend that much so just go ahead and clean the sewer for $100 which is the price that was promised to me. The moment I told him that, his attitude was completely changed. At the end, he not only charged the 100 for service but also $30 as a trip charge? Seriously? I heard people charge diagnostics when you don't get the service done by them but not a service charge + a trip charge. I got it done a year ago for 69.99 through some other person who came with even more fancier equipment than what Gary came with. Too bad, just because he acted like that he lost me as a customer. Some people just don't get a simple math behind making a good customer relationship especially when there are 100s of them out there like him. I will never ever recommend him to anyone.

I had a stopped up sewer.line zoom came out within one hour and technician gave me options and was very professional took care of problem cleaned up after work completed I will definitely use for all plumbing needs they even called next day to make sure I was happy thanks Zoom drains

These guys took our project when no other plumber would. We had no water from a main water line break. By day 3, after 2 plumbers fell through without telling us why, I called True Blue and they were on it. Eventually, I found out that there were very complex obstacles in getting a permit for our old house because of the old public pipe systems. An almost impossible situation that no other plumber wanted to deal with. They found a way around it, Devin worked diligently to find a solution and get us water. They bought a machine that would allow a pipe replacement without digging through our old stone walls and foundation.  It blew me away. I'm not used to contractors being so on it, or communicative. They called every day to update us and had sympathy for the fact we were on day 5 without water.  Thank you! Remarkable service! I've referred them twice already to other partner contractors that needed a good plumber reference.

We have used this company twice they installed a new furnace in our rental
Property at half the cost of the big advertised names and when our home furnace went out last week they fixed it for a-great  price and DID NOT try to up sell us a new furnace  I think they are an honest and reputable company Cary Hall

Courteous, professional and fast. Sprung a few leaks after an extended absence from my house. Even though no one ever looks forward to needing a plumber, the Taylor Plumbing crew made it a relatively pain free experience and had the problems solved in what seemed like minutes. Needless to say, they have made the iPhone contact list so if I ever need a plumber in Kansas City, I will know who to call immediately.

Our basement drain overflowed and seeped water into the finished areas. The guys at Roto Rooter including Anthony, Dan B, and all the friendly staff who called to check on us and provide updates, including the manager, were absolutely phenomenal. They were prompt, thorough, and beyond helpful. We will always call RR first if we ever need plumbing services again.

The business is posted twice with slightly different names, but it's still the same crooked business.
Jay no longer works the field, he only handles the business side, leaving his less than reputable wife, and her mentally challenged son to destroy anything left of the reputation that Jays pluming had.

I hired them to replace my main water line, they were running average of all the bids.  They guaranteed that I would be satisfied with their service and were very professional.... That's a lie!!!

One of the crew propped open the truck door and urinated in my driveway! I have a 15 year old girl that lives across the street and several girls behind us! Let alone, it was in my driveway!!!
Their best employee was bidding out work on my house, for off the clock extra work. Their manager, Jays step son, threw his trash out in my yard, and when I said something his response was it'll get buried when we fill the hole! Not the point!
They filled the gap where the new line comes into the house with window caulking instead of seam sealer or plumbers putty, they didn't reconnect my ground rod to my electrical panel and left me with deplorable excavating! My meter well is 6-8 inches below grade and I had a super high hump in my yard because they didn't finish!
Then Jays wife came to my house and demanded to be paid! Hey finish the job first!  Let alone they broke the law and didn't seed the raw dirt that law required!

Stay away from them!
This is a terrible company
They go through employees like drill bits because they pay them or they short them. An employee can put a lien on your house to collect payment.
