  • 5 star review  Not only was the problem fixed, but they were helpful in explaining what they were doing and gave some tips to help avoid the situation in the future

    thumb Andrew Fowler

    5 star review  I was having issues with water coming into my basement nonstop where the walls meet the floor. With the small amount of water entering the sump well, I assumed there... read more was a clog somewhere in the drainage system under the basement floor. I hired Drain Detectives to run a camera through the system to verify. Mike and a coworker came out, and when they ran the camera, it did not get very far as a clog was discovered close to the sump well. They recommended a return visit to hydro jet the pipes as well as run the camera on the external pipe that goes to the sewer drain in the backyard. When they returned, they started with the external pipe and that showed buildup as well, not totally clogged like under the floor, but getting close. They hydro jetted that part of the system until it was clean and then moved on to the basement. They started with the jetting, got the hose up to the clog, turned it on, and BAM, the water started pouring out of the pipe. It did this for at least 20 minutes before it slowed to a more normal flow. In Mike’s 16(?) years, he said he’s never seen that much water waiting to come out like that. While the pipes were emptying, he was running the camera through the pipes. When the camera got to a slightly clogged area, moving the camera back and forth would clear it up. It mostly just captured water rushing past it. Overall, the main issue was the clog closest to the sump pit. There is a T junction there, and that’s where the ocher had a chance to collect and build up. With it now known that it will probably clog at that T junction again (it took 9 years to get as bad as it was), Mike said now and then, I should run a hose into the pipe with a towel wrapped around it to seal the opening to break up any build-up. He also recommended having them come back out to run the camera every couple of years to make sure everything is staying clear. The permanent fix is to redo the T-junction and install a cleanout. I am so happy to not have to worry about my basement! I am very pleased with the service Drian Detectives and Mike provided. Even when there were scheduling issues and a delay because of a previous job that took longer than they expected, Mike kept me in the loop and made me the first visit the next day. While I have not used them for any other plumbing issues, I can easily recommend them for any basement/drainage issues.Service: Unclog drain

    4 star review  They were able to have someone out to my house the next day for a non-emergency. He remedied the issue and installed a new toilet. Very satisfied with the experience.

    4 star review  8/27 I had a sewer line that was a issue from previous owners. Basically, previous owners had installed a P-trap line which created backflow towards the house. Drain detective came... read more out within a few days and correctly fixed the issue with a efficient sewer line connected to city’s main line. They pulled permits, had the city inspector stop in to check work. Very professional. After new pipe was connected, they returned on another day to hydrojet, flush out system to street and camera inspect to make sure pipe water flow was not back flowing and successful. Also laid gravel/river pebble where the front sidewalk walkway was dung up. Very friendly, professional and transparent with issues and what needed to be fixed. Price quote was very diligent and no hidden costs. They tell you what needs to be done, the price and get the work completed. Happy to recommend them to any homeowner.
