They were able to fix permanently the problem. They took the time to explain the origin of the problem and had the parts with them for the repair. I would hire them again in a minute!

Austin replaced my water softener. He was prompt, professional, and courteous. He hauled the old one away. All for a reasonable price.

I needed someone to show me how to drain my 1 year old water heater. Nothing was broken, I just didn’t feel confident doing it myself. Several plumbers provided exorbitant up front estimates or would not give an estimate at all without a visit. I can understand that process for some jobs, but what I needed was very straightforward. Drain machine gave me a very fair upfront estimate. They were easy to schedule and communicate with. They graciously let me watch and explained how I can do it myself next year. No complaints. Would hire again.
Details: Routine maintenance • No problem, just need maintenance • Gas tank • Basement • House
