Plumbing for a Remodel or Addition - Install
$1,849
Jim L. showed up just a few minutes after a call to Reliable to check a sump pump not working properly. It was easily determined that the very old sump pump and battery backup were not going to ever work again. The decision was to install new pump with backup. Jim and I found out that Lorain does not allow water backup systems, therefore new pump and battery backup. Jim L. showed up early today and finished total install in just a few hours. Reliable proved to be very reliable.

I hired Reliable Basement and Drain to replace the anode rod in my hot water tank and flush my hot water tank. A technician named David came out and was very friendly and businesslike. He did a great job and performed very professionally. I have used this company several times before and would definitely use them again.

We had a slow kitchen drain and we were able to get an appointment within 2 days. It could have been sooner but wasn't necessary. We were kept informed of the techs arrival time and got an up front estimate which was very reasonable.

The person doing the work did a good job. However before my job even got started he was called away to an emergency job by his boss so my job was put on hold. What was to have been completed in one day ended up taking three days. Their emergency should have not been mine--but it became that so I was without a bath for longer than I had planned.
