“I was able to rent a drain snake and clear the drain no problem.”
One detailed 1-star review alleges unnecessary recommendation for expensive yard excavation/pipe replacement that turned out to be unnecessary (problem solved with $30 rental snake in 1 hour)
“I was able to rent a drain snake and clear the drain no problem.”
Customer service communication failure: reviewer reported rude phone staff and no callback from management after requesting follow-up
“I was able to rent a drain snake and clear the drain no problem.”

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Would not recommend this business I think they are running a scam. I had them out to a clients house to clear a clogged drain. They came out and said that someone pored cement down the drain and that we had to dig up the back yard and called some other person to come look at it who did not work for tri county. That person said that they concurred with tri county and that the way to fix it is to dig up the back …”
