Best Drain Cleaning in Fort Wayne IN
A while back I called A&A Mechanical to service my Generac generator. I called Generac directly as the home I bought this year came with a large generator. I have never had a generator before and didn't know what needed to be done on it. They gave me a list of companies that service their generators near my home, and A&A was a company within my town. I called and scheduled an appointment with them in a few days. What was great was that I found out from them, that they used to service the generator for the old owner of my house.
They came, performed service on the generator and set it up so I get it serviced once a year. Technician was friendly and explained to me how my generator worked, how it would test the system every week, pretty much gave me a lot of useful info. I am very glad I did get it service because two weeks later, my area lost power for an entire day. Seems some squirrel(s) messed around a nearby electrical substation. Immediately my generator kicked in... and it's an amazing generator powered my entire home! I so could have used this when I lived in Miami during hurricane season! If I didn't get it serviced, I would have been without power and I would have lost a stand alone freezer and a refrigerators worth of food... so I saved a lot of money!
If you have a generator, get regular service.... and get it from A&A!
Seems also per the website they also do work in plumbing, heating and A/C... so something to keep in mind too.

We have used Andrews Plumbing for several years and I highly recommend the company. Vern Andrews, the owner, is the most cheerful and helpful plumber imaginable, and his technicians are always cheerful, professional, and provide excellent service.
After enduring frequent sewer clogs for several years, which Vern and his technicians unclogged each time, we finally had Vern put in a new sewer a couple years ago. All the work was done very professionally. Vern even recommended a landscaper to re-do the yard after all the digging.
In July 2018, technician Lance replaced our water heater. First he assessed the floor under the water heater and decided to add a piece of 3/4 inch plywood to reinforce the subfloor under the water heater. Then he installed the new water heater. Again the work was very professional .

Used Perkins Septic and Drain Service for the first time as they were recommended by our plumber. Our main sewer line was clog. Called their office and was nicely greeted by Ashley which told me she would see when someone could come out to take care of the problem. Several minutes later she called me and said they could have a team out to our place later in the afternoon. In about an hour later I received a phone from the team to inform me that they would be there in an hour. Sure enough Nick and Ryan arrived when they said they would. I explained the issue to them and they asked about our plumbing and layout. They determined they wouldn't use hydro-jetting as it could create flooding from the drain in our basement. They worked several hours fixing the problem and were very informative about what they were doing and why. In the end they fixed the problem. I would highly recommend Perkins Septic and Drain Service. Thanks Nick & Ryan for doing a great job.

I guess it's hard to review a septic pumping. I guess it went well. The guy that came out was very courteous and helpful. The total cost was $220

I have only had the root out my drain from the outside but he always shows up on time and does exactly what he says for what he charges! How can you eat that....

Again with these people. Had Legacy come out in the winter last year for the heater. Which was a simple fix and only cost the service fee. I call them the Monday after July 4th for my ac, not expecting much in the way of appointments because of the heat wave. Got an appt for 2 days later in the evening. They call the day before. Repairman is running ABOVE schedule and can he come out the next morning? Yes, please. Super nice guy. Fixed the problem, walked me through everything. And STILL the labor and parts was almost the same as the service call. I will ONLY call this company for HVAC and I will only recommend this company from now on.

Absolutely the best. They work clean, and can definitely solve your issue. They uncapped two dump pits that were covered with 8 inches of concrete each, installed a sump pump, and left it cleaner than when they began. John is willing m to work within your budget, but be realistic. They have to make money too. Not a discount service, but you get quality service at a fair price.

A warning alert popped up on our indoor A/C thermostat on June 16th. We called Freedom A/C and they sent a tech out to check it out on Friday, June 17th. He did an outdoor system flush on our unit with our garden hose and some foam cleaning agent he brought. After being outside for 30 minutes and making multiple phone calls outside, he came in the house and wanted to tell my husband and I the bad news. We were low on freon and needed a new capacitor and 4 lbs of freon, which would be about $600. He said we could schedule that work but it would only be a temporary fix due to the leak, and we might be better off just buying a whole new A/C system from them. My husband and I thought about it over the weekend and figured that even leaks can be fixed and the air coming out of our vents was cold and forceful. Our Lennox A/C unit is only 10 yrs old. Many A/C units last anywhere from 16 to 20 years with proper maintenance. The only problem area was in our living room where we have a cathedral 20 foot ceiling and 2 skylights. It had been in the 90s. We called Hartman Brothers A/C out of New Haven, IN bc they were listed under more info on our wall thermostat. They sold the prior homeowner the Lennox A/C unit we have. A technician came out today and confirmed that we DO NOT have a freon leak, that our unit is still fine. Nick, the tech from Hartman Brothers said in higher temps a cathedral ceiling room with 2 skylights is not going to remain ice cold. Our unit only needed a good cleaning, a new filter ( which we are ordering on Amazon), and some register boosters, which you put on floor vents to push the cold air up with little fans built inside the register booster. Nick said we can order them on Amazon too. Now we only owe a service visit to the honest company, Hartman Brothers, which we will be using from here on out. Second opinions before buying a whole new A/C system are a good idea.

I called for some bathroom work. The receptionist was very nice and did a thorough job, which made me feel I was off to a good start. The price was very reasonable, so I chose to work with ASS (this acronym is pretty fitting, because that's how I feel about their service). Anyway, scheduled the appointment for 12:30-2:30 on the following Monday. I get a call at 9:00 asking why I'm not at home. I say appointment is for 12:30. He apologizes and said no one gave him an appointment time. Sure, that's fine. At least he is there early, ready to work.
The problem starts when he starts to work. He sends me out to get some parts. I come back with parts. He then says he can't finish that day because he needs different parts. He says he'll be back the next day. He never shows up the next day. I call ASS twice, and both times I am told he will be there soon. He NEVER calls to say he won't be able to make it. I should have just cancelled the service there and found someone else, but by now I'm in it. I call the next morning to see why I never even received a call that the plumber wasn't coming. I am told that he came by and told us he would be back the next day (which obviously did not happen). Anyway, AGAIN, we are told he will be there at 1:30 that afternoon (we are now on Wednesday). I call at 2:00 to see where he is. The receptionist says he is picking up some things and will be there soon. Fast-forward to 5:00 and STILL no one. I call again. Again I'm told he is on the way. Guy finally shows up at 5:30. He starts (barely) to work and says he needs some parts that he doesn't have and he'll be back tomorrow. He leaves without turning the water back on, but I am able to stop him before he pulls out of the driveway. He turns the water back on, but now the shower won't stop running. He now HAS to finish what he started, otherwise I'd have to choose between the water being off or the shower running all night. He finally comes back and manages to get the shower to turn off. Cue I'll be back tomorrow morning at 9:00. Tomorrow (now Thursday) at 9:00 rolls around and he is not back. Finally shows up at 9:45. I am at work, so my roommate, who had to wake up early to make sure the guy gets in, is there. He is PISSED. The guy bumbles around and leaves again because he doesn't have the proper parts. AGAIN! He has seen the shower on three separate days now. How does he not have the correct parts. I feel like this is some sort of scam. I call ASS and tell them they need to send out someone who knows what they are doing. They say someone is on the way. It is now an hour and a half later and no one has come back. The shower is leaking like crazy and it is still not fixed. I've heard the adage you get what you pay for, but this is ridiculous. I feel like I have to stick with ASS through to the bitter end because they owe ME money by now, right? Anyone else ever had a similar experience? I still can't wrap my mind around it.
Update: They finally managed to finish everything after 4 days of trying. I will admit, the price really can't be beat. They kept their original quote (which was almost $600 less than Roto-Rooter). I'm thinking the one guy was fairly new. They were nice at least. I feel I was a bit harsh, but they came on four different days and stayed for about 10-20 minutes on 2 of those days (doing it multiple times during those days too). The more I think back on it, I guess I was not too harsh. This is pretty unacceptable.
Update 2 (September 23rd, 2015): The shower they fixed has been leaking from the shower head since Saturday. My landlord called these guys back to fix it (as it has only been a few months since they were here). As you can imagine, I am not the biggest fan of this idea, considering the crap I had to deal with last time. Anyway, they were supposed to call me when they were on their way to fix the leak. I called twice throughout the day to make sure this was still happening and was assured that they would be out at some point during the day. I was told they always work past closing hours to finish any jobs they had promised, and they were behind because of a job earlier in the day (I'm assuming they were behind because they had to go back to the site multiple times as they did not have the proper parts/equipment/knowledge of how to do the job). Remember, I called TWICE, knowing they aren't very good at sticking to their word. Of course, as you can guess, they never showed up. I'm pretty much at my landlords whim right now, as he understandably wants it fixed for free as they couldn't get it right the first time. Unfortunately, I am the one who has to deal with them no-calling/no-showing because they can't even be bothered to let me in on the fact that I'm not worth their time (perhaps they didn't like my initial review). It would be comical in a comedy-of-errors/sitcom type of way, if it weren't happening to me.

Tressler Plumbing used to be good, but not anymore. They are very unprofessional make promises they don't keep, won't return calls etc. they will actually set up an appointment not show up and not respond to any inquiries. Find someone else or you will be disappointed

So not only did they install the dishwasher crooked. 23 days after my last review, the kitchen cabinet was wet to the point water was on the floor. If there wasn't water on the floor, I probably wouldn't have been alerted to the problem. I don't know if the pipes were installed incorrectly or not tightened enough, but either way the pipe came loose from the garbage disposal so when the dishwasher was running it was just pouring water out into the cabinet. Do not use these people for plumbing!

They came out and charged me $120 to tell me they couldn't evaluate my septic until they had the plans from the county. They told me they would get them and call me back. I never received a return call, and every time I called them to check on the progress they had no idea what I was talking about. They basically took my money ran. Do not use this service for anything but getting your septic pumped.
