Prompt and friendly service, rapid response time, solved my issues without any nonsense. Great work.

Appreciate they came Covid-19 ready. Steve and son did an awesome job with our leaky pipe! Professional, courteous and as nice as can be! Very refreshing in these times. We will certainly use him again!

Most excellent and efficient service. They managed to show horn the repair of my leak into their already full schedule. Stewart was friendly and took care to avoid increasing the mess the leak had caused. He explained what needed doing and was clear on the cost. He also shared tips on how to avoid a repeat of the situation. I recommend Jake the Plumber wholeheartedly.

AMAZING. Came downstairs in my townhouse to find water all over. Recommended by neighbors who had them come out to fix a plumbing problem they had. They came right on time and got to work. Lee was quick and efficient . He explained what he was doing - showed me what he found and what was needed to clear the main drain. He had it fixed in no time. But what was great service was the checking and rechecking he did to make sure it was REALLY fixed. He not only cleaned up after himself he clean up some of the other mess that had been left by the water back up.  I cannot recommend them highly enough.  Very satisfied customer!!

Awesome company to deal with! Had them come out and hook my refrigerator, stove, plumbing lines, and fix my toilet. They did all this in a couple hours and did a unbelievable job. I would highly recommend them to everyone.

If a slow main drain or total blockage caused by tree roots is a problem for your beloved house or property, Cichy's is the ONLY place to call. I just had them out to my house for a repair job and they are TOPNOTCH!
From my first contact with Tim Cichy, through the repair work and after, I am COMPLETELY SATISFIED by the professionalism, honesty and quality of the  work performed. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cichy's!

I discovered a water leak on my main water line at 4:40 pm on a Friday. I found recommendations from my community on Nextdoor for Tim Besser of Pattim Plumbing and
called him about 4:50.  He happened to be in my area and could not have been more
responsive when he arrived 5 minutes after I talked to him. It was the end of his day on a Friday but he cheerfully addressed the problem. I would highly recommend Tim of Pattim Plumbing.

Jerry Anderson helped our family out with many plumbing jobs over the years in the Kenwood area.  He is about as trustworthy as they come!  He does a great job and may humor you in the process.

I cannot recommend Eric and Halvorsen Sewer Service highly enough. They have integrity, great pricing, and great service. He saved me from bring ripped-off by a large sewer company to the tune of thousands of dollars.

Our sewer backed up on a Sunday and as a first-time homeowner experiencing something like that for the first time, I panicked and called a large sewer/plumbing company. They came out right away and cleared the sewer line. They brought out a guy with a camera who scoped our sewer line and told me it was broken and required an emergency replacement, costing $17,000+ to replace the entire sewer line.

I called around for a 2nd opinion and found Halvorsen Sewer Service. Eric responded to me on a Sunday, expressing concern with the assessment by the large company and offering to come take a look at it for me the next day.

Eric used his camera and quickly told me that the sewer line WASN'T BROKEN. The perceived break was a buildup of concrete slurry on the bottom of the pipe, causing some water to pool. Eric cleared the concrete slurry from the pipe and told me that he did not think any repairs were necessary. He even provided me with a copy of the video of my sewer line which the large company did not do.

I sent the video to a 3rd company and they confirmed Eric's opinion that no repairs to the sewer line were necessary.

Halvorson Sewer Service did an incredible job cleaning the sewer line and getting all of the things the large company missed, at a MUCH more competitive price. He educated me thoroughly and gave me great advice on how to maintain the sewer line going forward. If you have sewer line cleaning or inspection needs, I cannot recommend Eric and Halvorsen Sewer highly enough.

We used Hometown Plumbing to fix a leak in our new house.  Mike came out, gave us an estimate, and fixed our leak. He was timely and professional. He also gave us a few tips on common issues he has seen in homes like ours, so we know what to look for and how to manage future issues. Glad we found a plumber we can trust!!

Excellent service from this company.  The plumber I called does not snake out main sewer lines.  He did, however, recommend that I call D.C. Annis for the best job at the best price.  When I made the appointment, I was told up front what the charges would be.  Rob showed up on time and was both personable and knowledgeable.  He got right to work, solved our problem, and explained the issues clearly when he was done.  I hope I will not need to have the main snaked again, but If I do, I will call D.C. Annis.

AC unit decided to stop working on the hottest day of the year.  I called in the late afternoon.  BWS was out the next day before noon and fixed the issue.  Sam, the repair technician, was quick, friendly and helpful.  He answered all my questions.    They also replaced my disposal a few months ago and I have equally good things to say about that experience.

I was caught in a financial dispute between the general contractor (whom I paid in full) and this business on a kitchen bump out and bath remodel project. Months of delays made a 10 week project 8 months. For the most part my daughter and I lived like refugees, no toilet, or indoor water for 6 weeks. For the next 3 weeks until the sinks were installed, I had to wash my hands and food in the toilet.
No one could explain why the main drain in the basement was disconnected. There was sludge all over. The rough plumber made a significant mess  throughout the basement; the finish plumber was much neater and friendly.  I only saw the owner once, and that was at the final inspection in December.

Their charge for cleaning a main line is excessive, and their equipment does not clean out the roots, which is the major cause of main line blockage.  They leave you with clean roots in your pipe.  They tell you other prices.  They did not even mention the $1500 cost for the other truck until they were writing up the bill.

One Hour Rooting advertises $99 any drain, any time.  I had called around and had selected One HR Rooting based on being a local business and the rates we were told over the phone.  Those rates were $99, $115, and $159, which was better than the $189 and $189 I had got from another rooting business.  I had described the problem that the main line was backing up, and had described it in detail.  I had asked if they had a camera as I had wanted to see what was blocking the line.  We arranged for them to come out the next day.

The green van arrived the next day and I described again how it was backing up in the main line.  The operator said that they had the wrong truck and he would have to go back for the other truck.  He said the dispatcher had not given him the right information.

He ended up calling the office for the other truck to come.  In the mean while he offered to clean the laundry room drain for $99.  I asked the home owner if she wanted that and she agreed.  He did a capable job of cleaning the laundry room drain.  During the test of the laundry room drain, I noticed that the main line was not backing up anymore.  I did mention this (three times) to the first operator.

At this time the symptoms of the main line backing up had dissappeared.  The first van operator knew of this, and had not made any mention what-so-ever that this other truck we were waiting for cost $1500.

Later that afternoon the other truck arrived, which was an identical looking green van.  It was similar equipment but a larger size, with a pump in the van.

The first van nor the second van had a camera. That was also another truck.  That meant that I would not get to see what the blockage was before the cleaning.

I was downstairs with the second operator, while the first operator was upstairs with the home owner.  There is little to describe about jetting the main line.  A hose with a cleaning head goes down the main line cleanout.

After the vans left I asked the home owner about the final bill.  This is the first that I found out about the $1500 charge for the other truck.  They had knocked off the $99 for the laundry room drain and reduced the bill to $1200 dollars.  There was also a travel charge that I had not heard about before (it is in fine print in the ad).  This was far from the $250 to $300 total cost that was expected based on information obtained from the business on the phone.

The home owner is a senior lady in her 80's.  She told me that first she heard about the $1500 cost for the other truck was when the guy was writing up the bill.   This was after that van arrived and I was downstairs with them.  Unfortunately, she just signed the bill and promised to transfer money to pay for it.

These operators had plenty of opportunity to mention the $1500 cost of the other truck.  We had talked at least 5 times about the other truck while we were waiting for it.

The second operator brought the camera around the next day.  We looked down the drain and saw alot of tree roots.  The jetting of the main line had only cleaned the dirt off the roots.
I did not get to see the condition of the line before the jetting,  because they did not have the camera.  I have no reason to believe there was anything else in the line that might need cleaning out besides the tree roots.

For the $1200, we got some clean tree roots and instructions about pouring salt down the drain to get rid of the roots.  Some tree root killer at the hardware store costs $20.

Judging by the other reviews I find now, this business has had many complaints about this $1500 jetting of the main line.  They must know that their equipment does not remove tree roots, unlike the equipment of some other rooter businesses. I have every reason to believe that they knew what would be the outcome of this jetting and chose to keep quiet about its faults and especially the cost.
