What recent reviews say

Jerome and Michael De Torres deliver solid drain work: quick arrivals, clear explanations, and reliable fixes on routine clogs. Yet multiple reviewers report failed diagnoses, inflated repair quotes ($14,000 for a line that cleared in seconds), refusals to honor guarantees, and managers who never call back. Staff quality seems inconsistent, and high-pressure upselling on foundation and sewer replacement work has left some feeling manipulated.

Praised for
  • fast response and same-day service
  • skilled technicians (Jerome, Michael De Torres, Mike)
  • honest diagnosis and pricing
  • polite and professional conduct
Watch-outs
  • misdiagnosis and incorrect repairs
  • poor follow-up and warranty disputes
  • upselling high-cost solutions without thorough investigation
  • unresponsive management when complaints raised
responsiveskilled-staffclean-workquick-responsepoor-communicationhonest-assessmentwarranty-honored
Best for: homeowners with routine kitchen or bathroom drain clogs who value quick turnaround
Think twice if: major sewer issues or foundation concerns; misdiagnoses have led to false $10,000-$14,000 estimates and unresolved warranty complaints

Strengths

  • same-day service available
  • named skilled staff (Jerome, Michael De Torres, Mike)
  • trenchless repair option
  • camera and hydro jet equipment on hand

Worth knowing

  • Named technicians praised: Jerome (drain diagnosis and repair), Michael De Torres (drain clearing after two prior failures), Mike (sewer line replacement)
  • Same-day job completion documented in multiple reviews
  • Satisfaction Guarantee mentioned but reportedly not honored ($75 credit offered on disputed $580 bill)
  • Camera locating service used but accuracy questioned in one detailed complaint (off by 10 feet and 5 feet depth)
  • Sump pump maintenance offered but one reviewer criticized the 5-minute 'visual inspection' for $294 as insufficient

What reviews say by service

Drain & Sewer Cleaning
Jerome and Michael De Torres excel at routine clogs and grease buildup; hydro jetting praised for commercial restaurant grease removal.
Leak Detection & Pipe Repair
Camera work available but accuracy questioned; one reviewer's location pinpointing was off 10 feet and depth was underestimated by 5 feet.
Emergency Plumbing
Same-day response and Saturday availability documented; fast arrival times noted across multiple reviews.
Water Heater Installation & Repair
Not clearly evidenced in reviews; sump pump maintenance mentioned but disputed as insufficient.
Plumber
Mixed: strong positive outcomes with Jerome and Michael, but serious misdiagnosis complaints suggest inconsistent quality or upselling pressure.

Common questions

How fast can they respond to an emergency?
Multiple reviews report same-day service and arrival within 30 minutes to an hour, including weekends. Their website lists 7-day hours.
What is the cost of a basic drain service?
Their website lists drain service at $129 and free inspection; one customer received reasonable pricing for a kitchen sink clog from Jerome.
Do they honor a satisfaction guarantee?
A Satisfaction Guarantee is mentioned on their website, but one $580 repair dispute resulted in a $75 credit offer instead of a refund, and a second opinion complaint received no managerial response.
