Shorty’s Electric Sewer Service

I’ve used Shorty’s a few times. He’s always quick to arrive and cheaper than the big guys.

We use Shorty alot. Bad plumbing in my house.:(They have not only come through in a timely manner but come through way before the time frame they say they will be there. Exceptional work and detailed explanation on work done as well as affordable. In todays world you have to choose right and I am completely satisfied and recommend this company to anyone!

I also knew about Shorty b/​c he helped my mom about 15 yrs ago. We kept telling the other service back then that the issue was w/​the downspout and they didn’t accept our view of the problem… but Shorty understood and got it done! :-)
Recently we had sewer gas smell in our basement on and off for months. After having a video done along w/​a General Contractor over to ck it out… they looked at our pipes and said it all looked fine but needed a cleaning. The guy from Sewer Pro, who by the way was great and knew a lot about sewers, said he could do the job but could just call Shorty who lives near by. Funny enough I went out that same night w/​some friends. I told them about needing to get my drain cleaner out and two of the people immediately said ‘Shory”. He called bk and set up a time. there was confusion on the day he sent his guy Mike over as to the time… but it wasn’t a big deal. He was to come at 3:15… but ended up coming at 4:30. He was super nice and cleaned out the drain. Left and all was well. Then a few days later… we had sewer water coming up out of our extra basement toilet when we ran the water upstairs. I called Shorty & he came right over within the hour. He cleared the pipe from another angle and that seemed to do the trick. It’s been over a week and no sewer smells or other problems. I know he has been super busy w/​serious family issues… So I really appreciated his timely response.

Shorty’s Electric Sewer Service used to be fast and cheap, but Shorty has lost his edge. Now he just complains he’s too busy.
As a landlord, I’ve used Shorty a few times over the last dozen years. Two weeks ago I called him about the sewer in a basement apartment that was running slow. Shorty came, flushed the toilet twice, pronounced it good, and wanted to leave. After I insisted things were not right, he found the outside drain was slow, so he routed it out. I paid him and he left.
Last evening it all backed up. I called Shorty, and left a voicemail that we had sewage running across the apartment floor. At 8:30 this morning he called to say he could come over late in the day to look at it. I told him I was hoping for better service, since he had been here just 14 days ago and hadn’t fixed the problem. Shorty told me this was obviously a different problem than the one I called him on before, said he didn’t like working for freeloaders with a bad attitude, told me to get a different plumber, and hung up on me.
It’s time for Shorty to retire.

I found out about Shorty’s sewer service through a class I took on home repair at Florissant Valley — Saint Louis Community College. He was recommended by the instructor. The name was certainly unique. Since that time (2008), I have used his service twice, and I must admit that I am quite glad that I can call on Shorty when I have desperate need.
Did I mention he charges less than Roto-​Rooter? I think alot less, actually.
