“Fast, and efficient! House drains were completely stopped up. Another company tried to clear it but could not. They recommended Emergency no more. Seth and Jonathan were here within an hour. Ultimately it was determined that a section of pipe needed to be replaced. They came back the next morning and replaced the drain pipe in just a few hours.”
