Triage
Call now, or can it wait until morning?
Do not wait
Call now
- Sewage or gray water coming up a floor drain
- More than one fixture backing up at the same time
- A toilet overflowing where the water keeps rising
- Sewage smell plus gurgling from several drains
No emergency
Can wait until morning
- One slow drain that still empties
- A single fixture that gurgles but drains
- A clog that keeps coming back every few months
Waiting costs nothing extra either way — after-hours pricing is on the pricing page.
Response, on the record
How fast do you show up?
We don't publish averages we can't prove. These are from customers, in their own Google reviews:
- 2ndring
Answered on the second ring — on a Saturday.
- 30min
Truck on site within thirty minutes.
- 1hr
Main sewer line cleared within an hour of the call.
- 8pm
Friday evening call — we still came out.
Calling at night doesn't change much either. The after-hours surcharge is small and published on our pricing page — not a surprise on the invoice.
Scope
What do you fix — and what don't you?
One thing, done well: blocked drains and sewer lines. Kitchen, bathroom, tub, and laundry drains. Floor and basement drains. Main sewer lines. Camera inspections, hydro jetting, root treatment.
And when cleaning won't fix it, we say so. A main line that blocks every few months usually has roots in it or a broken section. Clearing it again is a bandage. That calls for a camera inspection and a straight answer — not a standing appointment.
What we don't do
- Water heaters
- Faucet and fixture repair
- Bathroom remodels
- Gas work
If your job is one of those, a general plumber is the right call — we'll tell you that on the phone instead of driving out to charge you for it.
