First time customer here, and The Drain Guys will definitely be my first call for future plumbing…read morework. From my first interactions I was impressed with the customer service. I solicited quotes from three companies to reline my 80+ year-old sewer line. One never delivered; Second quoted but was near impossible to get questions answered regarding the quote. Drain Guys quoted on the spot, and was extremely responsive regarding follow-up questions. The CIPP liner process is technically complex, and the team experienced some unforeseen complications. However, the skill, positive attitude, and perseverance of every team member when things got tough truly impressed me. The team worked very hard over several days, overcame major obstacles, and ultimately delivered a drain line that will hopefully last another 80 years. Despite the challenges, I never doubted I was in good hands with The Drain Guys and I would absolutely call them again. Special thanks to Adrian, Kevon, Oliver, Johnny, and Jay -- I appreciate you all! Chris

I called The Drain Guys on Thursday afternoon for a slow-draining bathtub after attempting to clear…read moreit myself. When scheduling, I specifically asked whether they could provide at least a ballpark estimate for snaking a bathtub drain. I was told there was no way to provide pricing information until a technician saw the issue in person. At the same time, I was assured their pricing was "the best in the business," that the owner operates with integrity, and that they are not in the business of gouging customers. Based on those representations, I agreed to schedule service. I was told that due to the snowstorm and several frozen pipe emergencies, the earliest available appointment was Saturday. I understood that weather can create legitimate service delays and agreed to wait. However, late Friday evening, the night before the scheduled Saturday appointment, I received a text stating the plumber would not be able to come because they were behind schedule. The next available appointment was Tuesday. That resulted in a five-day wait from my original call for a routine drain issue. When the technician arrived on Tuesday, I was quoted $550 to snake a single bathtub drain. The work took approximately 30 minutes. After receiving the quote, I texted the office referencing the earlier statement about having the best prices in the business. I was then told that they had not said that, only that their prices were competitive. If $550 is the standard rate for this service, that information could have been shared when I specifically asked for even a general idea of cost. Being told that no pricing guidance could be provided, while simultaneously being reassured about superior pricing and integrity, created expectations that did not align with the final quote. The technician did clear the clog. However, he did not remove his shoes or use protective coverings despite snow and mud outside, and water was tracked into the home. This experience combined a last-minute cancellation due to scheduling issues, a five-day wait for service, no upfront pricing transparency, and a $550 charge for approximately 30 minutes of work. Prospective customers, particularly those who are cost- or time-sensitive, should request written pricing information and obtain comparison quotes before proceeding.

I can't say enough good things about Tom and his team. Tom was reliable and great with…read morecommunication. He would always respond back to me within a few hours, even on a holiday! His price for a pool removal was extremely fair. He was very knowledgeable/experienced and I felt 100% comfortable that our pool removal was done the 'proper' way. Tom was also very accommodating and even removed some random fence poles throughout the yard for us. 10/10 experience which I never say about contractors

OUTSTANDING COMPANY! Had an inground pool removed by Carrol Bothers in a tight spaced backyard. I…read morecan't tell you enough how satisfied I am with the job this company completed. Best estimate of the three I received and no surprises to the final cost. The only company to requier a county approved work permit. Beware of the companies who tell you that you do not need a work permit. Timely, very knowledgeable, with great communication throughout the process. Job was completed in two days. Yard was flawless after completion, grass was reseeded and the yard looked like the pool was never there. There was unavoidable dirt left in the street where dirt was loaded in the dump truck but was completely gone after the next rain fall. No issues, no speed bumps, no damage and excellent grading skills. I will definately use them again for any excavation projects and would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend them!

We had a water line pipe leaking under our front yard that needed replacing. We searched for…read moreplumbing companies that would be available and affordable. Through Yelp, Metavision LLC was a company that promptly inquired about our situation and offered to come and give a free estimate. The gentleman I spoke with, Brian, was very knowledgeable and professional. He came and assessed the situation and assured they would be able to resolve our leak issues. He had to check his schedule and let me know when they would be able to come for the repair. Communication was consistent by phone or text and they were able to come within 3 days. I received the invoice for the work and the amount was reasonably priced compared to the average price for the work we needed done. The day of the replacement, we were in communication before arrival, during service, and after the work was done. Brian was actually very respectful and personable. He was able to answer any questions we had and offered to assist us further if any more problems occurred. I am happy we chose this business for our repair. They are new to Yelp with not a lot of reviews but have been doing business for over a decade. Black Owned Business too, which I am glad to see as this isn't as common in this industry. I am satisfied with their service and highly recommend them if you need any exterior plumbing repairs!
