Get matched with top sewer main clearers in Scranton, PA

"Suddenly, my basement drain was backing up! A friend tried to unclog it, but to know avail. He thought it might have something to do with the sewer line that ran to the street! Right away, I started seeing dollars signs. So, I went on Angie's list and saw the reviews for HL Bowman. Because they were so highly recommended, I went to their website. Immediately, there was a person named Tiera to chat with. I explained my situation and she asked me a few questions. She told me she would have some one call me. I asked if it would be today because there was sitting water in my basement and I was afraid to even flush a toilet! She said it would definitely be today! Within two minutes of concluding the chat, my phone rang. A very courteous person assured me that he could get someone out there today! It was about 8:30 am and he told me that he could have someone by this afternoon and they would call me before they arrived. Around noon, a young man named Clayton called and said he was on his way. When he arrived, he went to basement and checked out the situation. When he came up he said that he thought the clog was in the pipe along the wall going out to the sewer. He brought in a machine and spent approximately and hour and a half trying to open the clog. He then told me that he had called another person from the company to bring a larger machine. Then, Corey showed up with a huge machine and Clayton left to go to another job. Corey was down there for about another hour and half. The machine was much louder than the first one. I was really worried about the cost and the fact that it was taking so long to open. I pictured having to have my lawn torn up and imagining what that would entail, not to mention the cost. Suddenly, he appeared and I tried to prepare for the worst. He looked at me with a smile on his face and said, "it's open". I was so surprised, I am sure he saw the relief on my face. 'He explained that he had to go out 75 feet to the street, and the that the clog was because of tree roots which he grinded through. I knew this machine was probably more expensive to use than the smaller one. So I braced my self and I asked him what the total charge would be! When he told me, I was shocked as that even included the $70 service fee which included up to 45 minutes to diagnose the problem and give me an estimate. But, because Corey had to bring a bigger machine and stay longer than Clayton had estimated, I was sure it was going to be astronomical. Corey said he would figure it out! When he told me the price I could hardly believe my ears. It was half of what I had anticipated! I was thinking about $1,000- $1200! I can't begin to explain how relieved I was.. I would like to say both Clayton and Corey could not have been nicer. Very mannerly, friendly, and polite. When Corey left, everthing was cleaned up! No sewage anywhere. And another thing that I thought was extraordinary, was how unafraid they were of my two pittbulls. They petted them and Corey even told them to stay when they tried to follow him out the door. LOL! And they, listened! I have found my company should I need any future help. It's good to know that there is someone out there who is professional, knowledgeable, and who charges fair prices. It wasn't cheap, but I believe it could have been a lot higher. Family members also thought the price was good. It started out as a bad day, but I had a smile on my face when Corey left!"

"I had an emergency with a leaking pipe that was turned off for many days. When I called Candan he came the same day. He was curtisous and did the job with professionalism. I definitely would recommend him to anyone that needs a job done. He has knowledge with various jobs that comes in handy."

"I had a frozen heating pipe. It's extremely cold today and I was very worried about the pipe bursting. Emil and Matt came, got right to work, and had the problem solved in no time. Great workers; I highly recommend them!"

"replace rubber seal and float that was filling up with water <br />"

"I have used him for all sorts of plumbing work as well, ever since I have lived here. He didn't even charge me for the rain barrel, I guess because I am a repeat customer. I have four spigots outside and an outside sink that he has fixed for me. I do call him whenever I have problems. He's a great guy, and he actually tries to teach me a bit about what he's doing so that I can help myself as well."

"Anton did a great job installing the new toilet. He is friendly and efficient and fair in pricing. Highly recommended and we will be calling him for future home repairs."

"<p>He missed the original scheduled appointment and was late for the second. When he did arrive he went right to work and finished the work in about 15 minutes and did a good job. He charged me $125.00 for the work which I felt was extremely high for such a small job. Unfortunately, we had another incident which required a plumber immediately and decided to go ahead a call him again. This time he called and cancelled but rescheduled the appointment for the next day. However, the next day he did not show or call.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /></p> <br />"

"Rodney Calimer was extremely knowledgeable and proficient. Thorough, detailed inspection and multipage report with photos and recommendations."

"This is the THIRD excellent job done for me by this handyman. He is so good, I am almost reluctant to publicize him for fear he gets backed up with so many orders, he will run out of time for working for me. <br /> He is the ideal handyman, took twenty minutes at the most to put in my new heating element and the charge was negligible. He combines thoroughness with efficiency and comes out with quality work. He also did repairs on my front porch a year ago which are still perfectly maintained. My deck on my 100 year old porch was warping, and he advised keeping the wood since it was so obviously durable, even at 100 years old. A year later, a winter later, it looks great !"
