Get matched with top sewer main clearers in North-Attleboro, MA

"Needed some drains cleared out and Preston came out right away and got the job done. Drains are draining perfectly now. Preston went above and beyond!"

"I was very impressed with how he explained everything, performed the work and kept us informed with what was going on. I was able to watch everything and he followed the outline he gave us exactly. He was very knowledgeable and even offered much advice for a second house of mine that has a failing septic system. See their web site which lists all the types of work they perform with all the information that he was telling me personally. I would definitely use him again and certainly recommend him to anyone else. Note, that he will give a discount to Angie's List members, in our case 15%. The $400 charge, listed somewhere above, does not include the discount. <br />   <br /> The following is a detailed account of what Jim did at our house for, I think, a typical badly blocked sewer line. <br /> We contacted Anchor Sewer and Drain Cleaning in order to fix an apparent blocked main sewer line exiting the house. <br /> The blockage was causing the water to back up and come into the cellar via holes in the vent pipe. The house was built in the 1930's so the pipes are very old and fragile. <br /> We called about 8:30 AM and were pleasantly surprised that he could come that same day at 11:00 AM. He arrived on time at 11:00 AM. <br /> Prior to the work being performed, he gave us prices for fixing the problem based on a couple of possible scenarios, dependent upon what he might find. <br /> He also explained what each solution would entail and how long it might take. (3 hours in our case) <br /> He was very careful getting the old main cap off the sewer line, which was stuck on, without breaking any of the old pipes. <br /> Once access was obtained he used a specialized hose to pressurize the line to try to "blow out" any clog. However, this was not enough to fix the problem. <br /> The next step was to use the electric "rooter" to cut through all the years of old sludge built up in the horizontal pipes and to cut any roots that might have gotten in over the last 80 years (which, it turns out we had). The rooter is a 200 pound machine that he had to get down the steep outside cellar stairs. It is an electric powered device with rotating cutters that clean the sewer and literally cut roots. The rooting was necessarily a slow process in our case as it was hitting blockages along the way that required slow going. He also had to negotiate joints in pipes that caused the machine to hang up. In the end, he was able to root the whole 90 feet to the town sewer. <br /> Jim indicated that he always uses his "scope" to verify the success of the rooting process, which may not be performed by other companies, without an additional charge. This is a great device that clearly shows the inside of the pipe visually on the color screen (6" x 8" maybe?) of a portable device connected to the scope cable. In our case it showed a (now) very clean pipe with the remnants of very fine roots in the first 15 feet of pipe. (These were attended to last). The scope software also displays the current distance of the scope head to the house. Using the "scope" he was also able to identify a problem with the town's sewer that was not emptying properly and told us to notify the town. <br /> The last step was to explain how to use a chemical, periodically, to kill the cut roots and to prevent future root growth. This is simply a foaming chemical that is applied through the toilet. He gave us the first treatment which we immediately applied. <br /> Again, I recommend Anchor Sewer and Drain Cleaning for anyone else. <br />"

"Drain Frog is great! Fast, quality service!"

"Came out within an hour and cleared the blockage in 30 minutes. Great Service."

"Dave was fantastic. Highly knowledgeable and tenacious. He solved the most difficult drain clog that anyone else would have quite but he tried everything and more with all good equipment. It was hidden in an unknow area in the yard. Amazing Amazing he found it but after 3.5 hrs of trying everything possible and more , He did it. The almost impossible. Dave is fantastic and the best. Very personal. Call him first before you waste your time with someone else."

"Had a main line clog that shut down all my bathrooms. Garett came out quickly and was able to solve the problem quickly. Garetts work was neat and made me feel like I was in good hands. Definitely would recommend again!"

"Bill was great! He called me quickly and came the next day to take a look. He wrote up a quote right away and presented different options for the repair. We didn't feel any pressure from him at all. We ended up moving forward, and he fixed it right away! It all looks nice and works as expected. I would definitely be comfortable calling him again should any other plumbing needs come up."

"I had an emergency situation. The main waterline to the house was blocked. I called Chris around 8:30 AM and he responded straight away.. he assessed the situation, took care of permits and completed the work by mid afternoon. We have water restored, and a huge blockage removed from our main waterline. He was very professional, courteous, I would highly recommend this company."

"Nick replaced our water heater. We were very pleased with his work. He was very efficient and punctual, explained everything clearly. We certainly will recommend him to others, and will use him for any future plumbing needs."

"The techs were knowledgeable and were able to clearly communicate what was happening and how to resolve the problem. Ultimately, we had to replace our system. Estimate were given quickly and were most reasonable. Scheduled installation ran into a few glitches that were not obvious at the start of the job. Installers worked hard and were knowledgeable not only about their product but also about how to overcome obstacles. The several areas where Work was done were left neat and clean. I would heartily recommend HL Bowman and use them again if needed."
