When it comes to plumbing, Mr. Rooter is the one to call. Our trained and knowledgeable staff makes your satisfaction our main priority.

"The $7,000 project ended up costing us $123,000 because they dry-cut through the slab in our family room releasing asbestos dust throughout the entire house causing us to have to live in a Hampton Inn for 43 days. They cut the slab without supporting it and it collapsed enough to cause our brick fireplace face to have several cracks in it. With all the repairs we had to have done, the asbestos abatement project and replacing all our clothing, betting and some furniture, and with the amount our insurance company shorted us, we lost $43,000 of our retirement savings. Avoid this contractor like the plague!"

"Absolutely avoid Pioneer Home Services at all costs!!!!!!!!!! I had the misfortune of dealing with them when our A/C went out, and I chose them based on their seemingly great Google reviews. However, my experience was a nightmare. Their technician, Michael Miller, tried charging me a ridiculous $1100 for a simple capacitor and contactor switch. That only amounted to $40 online and 15 minutes of work. He actually tried to claim the parts alone were worth $800, which was beyond ridiculous. When I tried to verify the parts cost myself, Michael seemed hesitant and evasive about the quote, which immediately raised red flags. Later on, he quoted me $392 for the same job, which just added insult to injury. Save yourself the headache and find another HVAC company that actually values its customers. Pioneer Home Services, especially the technician Michael Miller, are the poster children for why people shouldn't rely solely on Google reviews to judge a company's credibility. AGAIN, AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!!!!"

"I can't say enough about Brian and the crew. They're true craftsmen. We love our new kitchen (and our bathroom before that!). My wife is a perfectionist - and Brian was more than up to the task. He worked closely with us - willing to pivot if necessary and always nearby to answer questions and recommend creative solutions. Attention to detail? Check! And their daily clean-up regimen and final detailing was impressive. It was like we suddenly had a new kitchen and any/all signs of the renovation were gone.

"This was amazing! I had no idea this service existed. After searching and contacting various repair places for my washer, this was the most cost effective option. I figured if it didn't work, my machine is old and I would be out $40, not the $100+ to have a tech come out and just diagnose the problem. I am pretty handy and my washer is old anyway, so if it is broken, I have to get a new one anyway. My tech, Steve, was great! He predicted what was wrong after listening to the machine, calmly walked me through dismantling the machine and when we got down to the motor, he was right! He sent me a link to the part I would need, and let me know to contact them again if I needed help installing it. My machine works even better than before it broke, its beautifully quiet and efficient. I will definitely be saving this company for any future repairs on appliances I may need. The service was $40 + the part cost, which was about $8."

Sewer main clearings FAQs

Experts recommend cleaning your sewer line every 18 to 22 months to prevent clogs from building up and causing damage to the pipes and related installations. Put it on a calendar and perform the cleaning procedure even if you experience no obvious signs of a clog. Look out for telltale warning signs of a significant clog, like gurgling sounds and rotten smells coming from your drain.

The average sewer-cleaning process takes around two hours for a typical home. However, more complex jobs can take up to four or five hours to complete a thorough sewer cleaning. Repairing any damage caused by the clog takes even longer, up to two or three days of work, depending on the severity of the sewer line damage.

You can’t prevent every clog, as they naturally occur over time, but you can drastically reduce their frequency by following common sense steps. Rely on trash cans or the garbage disposal to remove waste, limiting the amount of solid materials that go down the drain. Never flush problem items like dental floss, paper towels, cat litter, or “flushable” wipes. Finally, conduct regular inspections and perform routine maintenance cleanings.

Drain cleaners can sometimes be used as part of a general maintenance routine. Though budget-friendly, these chemicals are often too harsh for pipes and won’t help with major clogs. “Liquid drain openers are better suited to use as part of a regular maintenance program. Pouring a small amount down the drain after running your dishwasher or garbage disposal is a good idea,” says Jeff Botelho, Angi Expert Review Board member and Massachusetts-licensed journeyman plumber. “Cleaning garbage disposals regularly will help keep excess material from entering the building sewer and causing a problem.”
