The Original $49.95 Sewer & Drain Inc

Mike was great, they came promptly and cleared the clog in under 30 mins. I see a few people complaining about the price but he is the most reasonable plumber I’ve ever dealt with. They are probably saying that for lack of experience with plumbers. Half the price of roto rooter. And I’ve been a homeowner for 20 years so I know what these people charge out there. I will use him again for any clog related problems.

My experience with this company was so-​so. I called because there was an unpleasant smell that would come out of my sewer sometimes and even though I wasn’t experiencing any issues with my facilities, I thought i’d play it safe and call. I was happy about their professionalism when I called and made the appointment and the fact that they showed up early. The person who came was generally polite, but when I called I was under the impression that they charge $ 49.94 for sewer & drain like their name says but apparently they charge $ 99 for their sewer, something that is not very well advertised and so I was very thrown when after spending 30 minutes cleaning out my sewer he told me my bill was $ 114.32. If I had gone into it expecting a $ 99 charge, it wouldn’t have bothered me at all but since I wasn’t told before when I called and not even when the person arrived. In fact I wasn’t even told this until after I called back to talk about it. When I received my bill I asked about it the reason he gave me was that there were feminine products involved, suffice it to say I was a little pissed off because I personally don’t even use tampons at home and so I’m already mad about paying for a problem someone else caused. Then I was very upset to find when looking at my receipt after he left that he wrote «no guarantee with feminine products.» so although I ended up paying double what I expected to there’s still the possibility that my problem hasn’t been solved, all I can do is hope that it has been since I’m sure that none guarantee means i’ll have to pay again if it isn’t.

One of my mom’s tenants had a clogged kitchen sink. It was New Year’s Eve, so I thought it would certainly be a problem to get someone to come clear it. However, when I called $ 49.95 Sewer & Drain, the dispatcher, who is very nice, sent someone right over. They charged us what they promised – $ 49.95 plus tax. No hidden fees or tacked-​on services. Great, speedy job. Would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.

I upgraded $ 49.95 Sewer and Drain to my highest rating of four stars due to the fact that I needed to call them back for what appears to be a separate issue with my main sewer line. Again they were prompt, courteous and professional. In fact they were back within an hour of my call. The owner Mike himself came out to examine the problem. He felt I was too rough on his company in the previous review, and true to my word promised a better review considering he was fair in cleaning the drain going in the other direction for $ 49.95. He explained that a crawl space requires an additional charge, and I understand, as he explained, this is standard practice. My only complaint was I wish I was aware of this additional charge prior to their arrival. But in all fairness they did explain this to me prior to doing any work.
I commend Mike for responding to Unilocal comments in an honest fashion and would recommend his services to friends and family. Again it was not my wish to hurt a family owned business with a mixed review. I was a business owner myself, and can understand that in this age of technology, businesses rely on honest reviews to maintain a clientele. I always try to be fair in my reviews, but I may have been overly negative over a practice of additional charges that are standard for this industry. I chose this company because the owner was receptive to complaints and his response today, was fair and honest. Kudos to Mike Spezio and his business.

This company is a complete joke. Stay away!!! I ordered them for a restaurant toilet to clear a clog. They charged 150 for the clog charged to change washers in a sink and 20 dollars for toll. And charged to put the toilet back on. Never mind the charges. They said it was working, I paid in full. When they left it clogged back up. I called and they said they have absolutely no guarantees and they are charging full price unless I remove and put the toilet myself. I found someone to remove the toilet and put it back on when they were done and paid them for there work. I came into work the next day. Mind you, the toilet is on the second floor. They snaked and pushed and pulled so hard that it came through the ceiling on the first floor! and the toilet still won’t flush and work! I called and told them of the damage. They said they don’t care and I cannot prove they did it. I asked for a refund they said a refund would be given at the cost of them calling the health department and reporting that I have no working toilet! Um hello that’s their job! They then showed up at my location screaming at me let me see this problem your making up I showed them and the owner Anthony approached me so close and threatened me that it was not him. At this point I got scared and told them I dont want to deal with you another second please leave I’ll pay someone else to fix it. They stood at the door and told customers passing by do not go in there you’ll regret it. They then looked at me and my coworker and told us watch what happens next you guys. Topping off this atrocity with a second threat. Some legitimate company. At this point with the way the treated and literally threatened me I’m ready to file a police report.

They were able to fit me in that morning! I wasn’t expecting to get charged $ 49.95 because I figured it was just a slogan, but the job was easy and sure enough they didn’t try to get over on me! Hooray for hot showers!

I find it absolutely unbelievable that to date, this business has generated nothing but 5 star Unilocal reviews. My issue was a simple one– a clogged kitchen sink drain. I certainly did not expect to pay more than the agreed upon $ 49.95 for the service. However, as I quickly learned, their service technicians work on commission and so it is to their benefit to find ways to pad the bill. In my case, the technician tried to increase my bill by stating that he had snaked my drain 2x. I countered that it should make no difference which piece of equipment he uses, or how many times he uses it– all that matters to me is that my drain gets unclogged. He then insisted on charging extra because he spent more than the usual «15 minutes» to unclog my drain. Reluctantly, he eventually relented and I paid what I expected to pay.
My experience with this company would have been much better if my technician hadn’t tried so hard to pad the bill. To his credit, he did clear my drain and ultimately, I did pay the initially agreed upon price. However, I’m not sure I’d call again next time given that he didn’t spend much time cleaning up after the job was complete, and given the shady tactics that he used to try to increase his profit.

Excellent, Excellent. I cannot say enough good things about this professional company. We used this company 2 times within 2 years. They snaked out our backed up yard drainage on one visit. The second visit was flushing the sewer drain from blockage, both visits a year apart. I also learned a lot by watching. We were a little skeptical at first and paid a plumber a lot of money before finding this great company. Do not delay call them any time the price is so cheap and the work is so good I wish they could offer more. You have to tip these nice guys extra they deserve it. We are so grateful to have found them years ago.

Mike and his men are the Best! They came quick, solved the problem clean up and very helpful would recommend these guys to anyone

Really impressed with Mike and his team responding so quickly. I didn’t have much time to deal with the problem and they solved it smoothly and quickly. Also taught me how to maintain the system to prevent further problems and spelled out options and costs for me for additional work if needed.

Excellent work for a good price. Arrived on time when the said they would. Professional and explained the problems before doing the work.

These guys were awesome. Very professional. A follow-​up call from some guy named «Mike» was great to see if I was satisfied with the services provided.

They came within 45 min on a stormy Saturday night (it was even Valentines day). They were professional and knowledgeable. We had sewage coming through a basement shower — eeverywhere! They fixed the problem and gave good advice, that wouldn’t even benefit them. I would definitly use again!

Came in and fixed a severe clog i had in the bath tub. Guy was quick professional and cleaned up any mess that was made. Great price highley reccomend
