Needed help last minute for a catch basin scope and clean. The J Sewer team showed up same day and took care of business. Fair prices, great communication and excellent team.

We've been having a back up in our laundry room floor drain in part because the catch basin would not empty into the main sewer line. I thought it was a clog clos to the catch basin which I'm sure functioned as a cistern at some point in the last millennium. In any event, I knew it was time for a plumber since all my attempts at rodding were for naught.
On a Saturday, I scrounged Yelp for a sewer specialist and sent a couple of messages out via the interface. Within 20 or so minutes, I got an email from All Rooter and we scheduled an estimate for the following Tuesday. Bert showed up on time as was promised, he listened to my tale and my theories, and told me he thought it was the main line. After analyzing our plumbing, he said we need to look at the clean out. I knew roughly where it was located, so we started out the search. After about 10 minutes, finally with the assist of a metal detector, the plug was found, just where I said it would be. I tell him, I know my house.
Bert was unable to open it. He suggested that he would have to break it, but all I would have to pay for is a new plug. Voila, with a little elbow and other grease, the drain opens and we look inside. No water flowing out, no matter how many times I flushed the (unused) toilet. Again, he says It's the main line. We should rod and look with the camera. Still incredulous, I say, so what if the cistern doesn't drain? Bert says, so then you don't pay. He quotes a decent price, and I agree, let's go on with it. Today. Now. On the spot.
Bert and his sidekick rod out the drain. Tree roots, of course, from our 100+ year old maple up front. I sneak into the back where the cistern is, remove the cover, and voila! The cistern has drained.
Bert didn't stop there. He continued to rod and pull out roots. He put down the camera and let me take a look. He rods out to the street and back to our main line. He doesn't stop until he is sure we have a clear flowing drain. He suggests yearly maintenance.
However, through the camera, he identifies an additional problem. It's not something that we can do today, but we'll take care of that down the line. The main line is clear, the cistern has drained, and I got to see it all through the camera.
He and his pal clean up. We discuss the future work and he quotes me a good price. I ask him to make sure that the laundry room drain is working. He says, the laundry room drains into the main line. I say, nope, it drains into the cistern. He suggests running water to see where it goes, and of course, it goes into the cistern. Bert says, You know your house.
As a homeowner and a landlord, I keep my eye on repair and maintenance issues. I'm not afraid to get dirty or work up a sweat. When I hire a professional, if it's not better than I can do as a rookie, it's a do over.
This was not a do-over. This is a qualified, concerned, respectful plumber who will be called back for future work. I now have a real plumber, his card, his cell, his email, and I would give him more than 5 stars if I could. Bravo! I didn't have to get dirty or work up a sweat. And I did learn something in the process.

The business owner is very clearly very knowledgeable
and skilled.
He performed several complex repairs in about 4 hours (this was next day!)
Cut into wall (necessary) and repiped an external spigot
Dismounted, cleaned under, and resealed and mounted a toilet
Repiped 2 sinks
My house's original piping is designed like a circus show and Jason really saved my Bacon!
I will be calling Southland Plumbing for my next plumbing project or emergency! I highly recommend them!
Thanks again Jason!

No Call. No Show. No Response. Had a new kitchen sink and faucet installation scheduled for this morning at 8:00. Cristian and I spoke on the phone and via text, I sent photos at his request, and he gave me a price of $500 for the job. I reached out last night to confirm the installation this morning, but I received no response. I tried calling and texting this morning as well but received no answer and no response. It's now after 9:00... At least I didn't give these guys any money.
