All drains in house not draining so I knew sewage main-line was stopped up. So I took them up on the $99 drain cleaning special. Tech arrived and said the $99 price is for small drains (like bathroom sink only) and my problem was going to be $359 to clear out.
Technician (J.S.) said he completed the work with the biggest machine the company has, but line will not stay clear to drain so I will need a replacement sewer line for $5825.62!
His good news was supposed to be that the price I paid today will be credited towards the replacement.
“Diagnostic Notes:
found roots in sewer need replacement couldn't get line clear 60 ft sewer will credit drain clean price to sewer
replacement when job is scheduled
Right now your charges for today are: $335.”
Well... the next morning another plumber had came out and cleared the drain in an hour! Price for that was $528! And the next day the line is still draining fine without being replaced! Very poor service from Michael and Sons Chesapeake office. This was a very big inconvenience (and smell) the family should not have had to deal with by waiting another day to use the sinks, toilets, and tub! Not to mention I almost had to take out a loan for being way overcharged!
