Best Drain Cleaning in Wichita KS
Our plumber was utterly unprofessional, and nothing was fixed after two appointments.
Doing the wash, the drain pipe was backing up. Did a quick search, found this company was still rated decently well, so I decided to give them a try.
First pass was cheap, and it took a little bit of time, which I expected.
Two days later I'm still having the same issue. Turns out I misunderstood the plumber and all they did was clear out the drain pipe. Now I realize I've overpaid them, and that job took way too long. I thought they were clearing my main line, and the time taken seemed adequate for that, and the price was very good.
The new price quoted for clearing the main line, or doing the job I initially thought I paid them for would have been reasonable, had that been all I paid. But no, I had already paid them a good chunk of money. Now it's getting expensive.
Now that they had a real job to do, the plumber is walking around like a chicken with their head cut off.
Do I have exterior access to the main line?
No.
Are you sure?
Yes.
I'm going to walk around and have a look.
They notice that my front lawn has lines marked. Natural gas work had been done.
Did they knock on your door and tell you anything about your sewer?
No.
Are you sure?
Yes.
I'm going to call around.
They finally resign themselves to using the access point I showed them at the beginning of the appointment. They hit something and decide to accuse us *multiple* times of flushing wipes, which we don't do.
Cue two hours later, and the job is not done.
Do have a manhole cover, I'm not hitting anything.
Not that I'm aware.
Are you sure?
Mostly.
I'm going to walk around.
A cable broke and the plumber taught my toddler a swear word by yelling it to high heaven. We also heard it because all the doors were left open. The main line access is in a bare concrete room, and he leaves the door to the finished portion wide open.
The drop cloth he laid down was an afterthought. Our carpeted stairs were filthy. The finished floor was disgusting. They did not really clean up after themselves. I glanced the wash room after he left and saw some water on the floor; that was expected. Today I go into the room and realize that feces are everywhere. I get to spend a solid half day washing and disinfecting half of that room.
And the cherry on top is that nothing was fixed. And as the plumber leaves, he has the audacity to tell me to careful what I flush. My blood boils just recounting this experience.
TL;DR
I was able to get my money back, but that's not enough to warrant a second star. It was a miserable experience. The plumber was largely clueless and extremely unprofessional to point of being childish. And the cherry on top was that they left a massive mess that I am still attempting to clean.
Getting an offer from the company to have it cleaned with no charge was too little, too late. If I hire a professional, I expect a professional. I wanted nothing more to do with them at all.

I've used them several times over the past ~10 years (after a TERRIBLE experience with a local competitor). Each time, he was prompt and friendly, got the job done quickly, and didn't leave a mess when he was done.

They were professional, reliable and affordable. They showed up on time, did the work quickly and didn't try to upsell me. There were some issues following up with the quote and getting the appointment set up, but I think that might have been a temporary issue. Overall, I would hire them again.

Called them out to unclog a pipe in one of the spare bathrooms and they did a great job and was very professional. They cleaned up the area they worked in and didn't leave a mess like some plumbers do. Prices were also very reasonable. Would definitely use them again.

My family have used Creekmore since the 1960's. My parents used them for their house and our rentals. Now I still use the on my folks home, my home and the rentals. Last year I did a complete remodel of my home and they took care of me. I moved the washer and dryer to a new location, re-plumbed the kitchen and the bathroom. My house is particularly challenging as it has a concrete slab foundation. After we took out the tub for a walk in shower we also had to put a new spigot out in the garage as the plumbing had previously been located under the tub.
As with anyone, we have had a couple of glitches and mistakes, but Creekmore always works with me to make it right. Their customer service is excellent and their pricing is decent.
One time I tried a different plumber due to timing when Creekmore was fully booked. They were a major hassle and they tried to charge me $650 to clean out the drain on my bathroom sink and tub. They said that their tool might get broken so I had to pay for that. It took them four hours to do something Creekmore had done in less than one before. I had a friend open the house for them. They even had me take off from work to go get a faucet in case they broke mine. Their cost was highway robbery. Then they didn't need it and I had to return it! I negotiated them down to $425, but still felt overcharged. I won't state their name but they are known as the Punctual Plumbers. I have never had any other company charge replacement cost of a tool that might, but didn't get broken. Tools are a cost of doing business to everyone else.
Creekmore would have charged one hour as they did before for the same sink and tub, which was less than a quarter of what I paid the other guys.
They work great with my tenants. I give them their phone number to schedule work with. My tenants think they're awesome. We even have a busted pipe when a tenant used a hose in below freezing conditions. I braced for a huge bill. It was only $147! They only charged what needed fixed. Creekmore is awesome. No wonder they have been in business since 1948. We trust them in our homes whether we're there or not. Never had a reason not to. Great company!

Had a drainage problem a few months ago and gave them a call late at night. Answered immediately and gave me a quote over the phone. They came out the next day (which was a Sunday!) and did a great job. Will be using them again for sure!

The kid came out and I told him what I wanted an estimate on, he did 3 estimates on other work to be done and not an estimate on the leaks I had requested and charged me 50 bucks for the estimate and never emailed me the estimates like he said he would. Now I find out not only did he not do an estimate on requested repairs but that the estimate was only good for 30 days against repair cost. I was never told their was an estimate fee when I schedule an appointment and was stuck having to pay for an estimate that I never received that was requested for but got 3 other estimates that I did not request and never got till I finally called and now I can't even use that estimate fee against my repair bill. I checked other company's they don't charge for estimates. Don't use these guys they are rip offs.

I would give 0 stars if I could. The owner treated my good friends extremely disrespectful simply because the color of their skin.. Save your money and go else where...
