"This company was assigned to me by American Home Shield, and I got a bad feeling when I met them. The total cost for several repairs and a water heater replacement was partially covered by AHS and my portion of it was to be $840. Kevin Mackey told me I could avoid extra fees if I paid the $840 to his personal Venmo account, and I foolishly did so on July 1, 2025. He was to return to do the work once AHS received the new water heater. Over an entire month went by and I heard nothing. I called AHS and they called him- and he told them he was waiting for them to approve the water heater order. (He never called me or AHS to address that simple issue, which he was well aware of.) They approved it that day and the water heater was supposedly ordered. 2 wks went by and I decided to cancel the job. I called and spoke with Ethan and Kevin, and was told that I would be sent a check for the $840 refund. It is Sept 10th- no refund received from these thieves & they don't answer when I call. "

The problem with most "pros"? Too many bad habits. It's easy to get swept away in the day to day monotony, even for those that call themselves "pros". When it comes to hiring a heating and cooling technician, nobody wants to deal with being treated like a sale rather than a person, the use of scare tactics instead of education, or someone who just wants to get to job done quickly instead of correctly. All our HVAC pros go through 5 years of HVAC schooling, for a total of 10,000 hours of on-the-job training. And it's not just technical training either; it's training that focuses on you, on making you feel comfortable every step of the way. We will roll out the red carpet for you, both figuratively and literally. Red Carpet Treatment During every visit to a home, we lay out an actual red carpet to prevent any additional mess. But what may be even more important than just protecting your home is making sure you feel like you've received the best in customer service.

"I was out of town and my husband called this company to replace a kitchen faucet. We already had the new faucet purchased, so it was just an install. They charged us $502 for an hour and a half of work during normal work hours (and after showing up several hours late). That's $335 an hour for labor! Outrageous and predatory."

"I wish I had had the same experience as the other reviewers. I will say that this company got me scheduled quickly and showed up on time. I was seeing a small amount of water on the floor for an upstairs toilet. He diagnosed the problem in minutes, but then pressured me to replace the toilet rather than repair it He would not provide a written estimate for either repair or replacement - he kept saying he would "write something up" but never did. I was only given a Work Order after the repair because I insisted he provided me with something He was here for less than one hour total replacing two rusted-out toilet bolts. The Work Order reflects anew tank kit, a new flipper, and a new supply line, none of which were replaced. He charged me $400 for replacing the two bolts and then pressured me to pay cash (I did not). He also told me that he provided no guarantee for his repairwork."

Reliant gas lines is a natural gas service line repair or replacement company. I handle the buried portion of the service line from curb stop to meter and the buried house line if the meter is far away from the house. I do a good job at a fair price, am qualified for both Peoples Gas and Columbia Gas and fully insured. As a small owner operator business I can be flexible on scheduling as these types of problems tend to be emergencies. While in business for myself just a short time now I have over 15 years of experience in the natural gas industry involving repair and replacement of gas mains and service lines.

FAQs for sewer main clearing projects in Pittsburgh, PA

A plumber can clear a simple sewer pipe blockage in about an hour, but tougher clogs take several hours, and major problems can stretch into a full day. Remember that the city, not the homeowner, is responsible for the main municipal line. Your plumber will inspect the pipe, explain what’s happening, and give you a realistic timeline before the work begins.

Prevention comes down to smart use and routine care. Only flush water, approved liquids, and toilet paper—never wipes, floss, or cat litter. Toss food scraps and grease in the trash, and install strainers in drains to catch hair. Regular inspections can also help spot buildup early. Staying mindful of what goes down the drain is the easiest, least-expensive way to keep your line clear.

When hiring a sewer line company, don’t just focus on the price. Make sure the contractor is licensed, insured, and has good customer reviews. Ask for references to get a better sense of their work. It’s also a plus if they have years of experience or industry awards. Carefully review the contract and check that pricing is clear and transparent.

Sewer line cleaning keeps your entire plumbing system running smoothly. When the main line is clear, drains flow freely, toilets flush better, and unpleasant odors fade. Regular cleanings also ease strain on older pipes, helping prevent leaks and backups. Think of it as a plumbing tuneup that keeps everything connected and working efficiently while extending the life of your system.
