Called on monday morning they were out in a couple hours. I have used them multiple times when they were just Husted Plumbing. Always a good experience. This time another company tried and failed to clear the line, the other company was also going to charge 230, but failed at the attempt. Drain Charmer shows up, puts about 50 feet in, pulled out built up grease and drain works fine. They recommended a jet blast/ cleaning that would increase the odds of no further blockages. The house is 60 years old and will eventually have to replace the line, but the Hydro-jet may give me more time. Thank you "Husted", you came thru again.
I recently had Andrew install a water filtration system in my kitchen, and he did a great job! He was professional, punctual, and clearly knew what he was doing. The installation was smooth, and he made sure everything was working perfectly before he left. He also took the time to explain how the system works and answered all my questions. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone needing plumbing work done. Reliable and efficient!
Ramon was the most helpful at fixing our plumbing issues. He was on time, respectful and extremely knowledgeable. Ramon was able to fix the issue so quickly and discussed further preventions so this issue doesn’t repeat. I will only use Drain Charmer going forward. I might also want to mention how cost effective this company is vs other companies who are just looking to scam you! Thank you Ramon and Andrew!
