Get matched with top drain clog or blockage clearers in Norristown, PA

"Had a sewer line clogged. Anthony came out, found the issue and resolved it quickly. Professionally done, and explained what issue was along with the resolution."

"The technician was punctual, professional and knowledgeable. He found that the clog was due to another underlying issue and explained the options available. The clog was cleared and I'm in the process of getting the other issue taken care of with Zoom too."

"Our basement has always been damp and, at times wet when the existing drain system silted up. With this year's high amount of rainfall it needed something better. After some research on the trusty internet and interviews and quotes from 5 different contractors, Paradigm and one other company were the only ones who really seemed to know what they were about. Both quotes were about the same in cost and scope. I went with Paradigm over the other company primarily for the sense of personal responsibility I got from Andy and Ross. As the owners, they clearly take great care and pride in the work their company does from start to finish. The job involved excavation around the perimeter of the basement, including an attached crawlspace and peculiar raised section of the floor. French drains with all the trimmings, including silt filters were installed. The existing sump was improved, a second sump added, and new pumps installed in both wells. The walls were wirebrushed to clear away the efflorescence and mildew, then spray treated. Sump drains were linked to the outgoing sewer hookup (which was a problem, more on this later!). Work was completed in about 2.5 days exactly on schedule. There were two problems that came up, both resolved satisfactorily. Firstly, the drop cloths that did a superb job keeping the house dust-free on day 1 ended up releasing the accumulated dirt and fine silt into the air on days 2 and 3 as workmen walked across them, coating the ground floor with dust. They took extra care in cleaning both before and after day 3, but I didn't identify the source of the problem until late in the 3rd day of work. In the future, I would suggest cleaning, or at least beating dust out of the drop cloths after each day's work. The foreman was responsive and properly apologetic about the problem, and they did a fine job cleaning up as best they could at the end of the job. The second problem came to light a few days later, when I was talking with my neighbor. It turns out that sewer hookups for sump pump drainage were explicitly *not* allowed in our area of New Castle County. The patchwork of municipalities, neighborhoods, towns, and the City of Wilmington makes this a non-trivial question, as some places forbid these clear water hookups, some allow them, and some even encourage them! Paradigm had initially gotten incorrect information when they inquired, but confirmed that the hookup would have to be removed to pass code in our specific location. They returned to move the discharge lines, and ran them out to grade on the exterior of the house. This ended up causing another problem: a couple days later I started hearing a loud "glugging" noise coming from the discharge line on the rear pump, which was not draining properly. We had a battery backup pump on the old sump pump, which Paradigm was happy to re-install on the new pump. However, the check valve on that 5 year old, consumer grade backup had started to fail and could not support the much larger column of water in the retrofitted discharge plumbing. Andy and Ross came out twice more to fix this problem, once to figure out what was actually happening and a second time to remove the faulty pump, and to shorten and properly pitch the discharge pipe. I was impressed by the owners' responsiveness and professionalism in addressing these problems, and have confidence they will similarly resolve any issues, however unlikely, that may arise in the years and decades to come."

"Worked with this company previously and they were my first call. Easy to get a hold of, clear communication, and convenient to schedule. Technician was awesome. Explained everything clearly: diagnosis, pricing, and timeline. Will certainly be using again."

"My service technical showed up on time. He was polite, professional and set my mind at ease with our clogged drains. The customer service team was a delight to work with. I would highly recommend them!"

"Had gurgling from 2 bathroom sinks. Not knowing if this was a concern, I reached out to Angie's List for quotes from plumbers. The first one to respond was ValDel Plumbing. They were able to schedule me in for the next day. Our plumber, Steve, arrived and diagnosed the problem - partially clogged sinks. He corrected the problem per the quote. While working on the sinks, he noted that the drain pipes connected to the p-trap should be modified (he did this at no extra cost). After the job was completed, I had a question about my sump pump. He offered to look at it and gave some recommendations. Overall, I felt that the job was corrected to my satisfaction. The work done by Steve was both personable and professional. If I had future plumbing needs, I would strongly consider ValDel Plumbing."

"Done Right Today had very reasonable prices, were professional and courteous and got the job done quickly. We had a clogged kitchen drain that we tried everything to get unclogged but had no luck. We hired Done Right Today and they actually called and said they could be there earlier than the quoted time which was great. They were in and out, fixed the clog quickly, left everything nice and clean and explained what the problem. We are very happy with the service they provided."

"I was a nervous customer. We had a problem with a rental property that was not close to our home. Joe was quick to respond to our initial call and kept us well informed of his arrival. He did the work needed quickly and did not waste any time or money in doing what needed to be done. He immediately called to report the results and that the job was complete. To be clear this was a job that someone less honest could have easily taken advantage of us with!! I would recommend this company highly because of the honesty & workmanship that they showed!!"

"It went well, my only complaint is that when I called to get an explanation of the pricing, no one called me back. They required that the bill be paid before I could see the receipt. I had the impression that heir attitude is “take it or leave it”. Maybe they are in the position to take such a stance but $2200is a lot to spend without the courtesy of an explanation."

"Ben Franklin came out on Christmas Day for a warranted job and unclogged my pipes and today John, the master drain guy came out and finished the job Excellent company and excellent people"
