What reviewers report — the concerns
Other directories bury these. We think you should read them before you call. Every concern below comes from the reviews it cites.
Red flag
One reviewer paid to resolve a sewer blockage, was told the line was cleared, but the problem returned — required a second visit, and the root cause diagnosis changed between visits.
“he did not clear the line all the way to the street — only about 10 feet past the clog. He assumed the blockage was wipes based on what had overflowed, though he wasn't able to pull anything”
Incomplete sewer line clearing documented: tech stopped 10 ft past the clog rather than clearing to the street, then misattributed blockage without pulling evidence.
“he did not clear the line all the way to the street — only about 10 feet past the clog. He assumed the blockage was wipes based on what had overflowed, though he wasn't able to pull anything”

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“I’m giving 2 stars instead of 1 only because the company came out quickly both times, and the second field tech was professional and easy to work with. Unfortunately, the overall experience was frustrating. I had a blockage in my sewer line from the house to the street that caused my yard vent to overflow. On the first visit, they snaked the drain and restored flow. However, the tech told me in person that he did …”
Positive
“Nick, Matthew and Mike were easy to work with. Nick came out, figured out a good solution and got me a quote within 24 hours. Very easy to schedule with. They completed the job on a Saturday morning, which was great.”
“The Tech who came out tonight was Tyler and he did a fantastic job. Polite. Friendly. Cleaned up the mess from clearing out the main drain. Its a new rental and I just moved in on Friday. Landlord set up service with Montco but I wanted to share my experience as the resident of the property. If we ever need service again. Were calling these guys. 100%”
