DJ was my service rep today to clean out my main sewer line. I used to have it cleaned annually, due to tree roots, but hadn't had it done in over ten years. He worked for two hours straight and didn't miss a step! He explained the charges thoroughly ahead of time and I agreed to have him stay the second hour to use the larger auger, since I had so many roots clogging the sewer. DJ works hard for his paycheck, that's for sure, He did an excellent job and was very cordial. I plan to have Shoda come back in the fall and then annually after that. I have always highly recommended Shoda and I continue to do so. read more

The best at what they do. Water leaking from a drain in my garage makes me shriek. Called Shoda Sewer service and they came the same day to clear the blockage. Young man cleared the drain in record time and my garage was saved no more sewer smell , so all my things were saved from being soaked. Thank you Shoda for the excellent service you sure saved the day. read more

The guy who came out was nice and helpful to fix my backed up sink issue. He snaked the pipe and I hope it's fixed, but in the process of putting the PVC under sink back together, broke a pipe and then said "you need a plumber to come out and fix that because I can't test the water lines". Yeah, i know it needs to be fixed...you broke it. I've taken the sink apart multiple times with no problems, but "it must've been a weak pipe". Probably something I can fix myself, and he wrote me a "guarantee" in case I need them to come back out, but I probably could've rented a longer pipe snake for $179 and not broken my pipe and left a ton of rust on my driveway from the 20 min he spent trying to unstick his own pipe snake. read more

Back in January of 2022, Shoda Sewer Service broke a bladed cable off in our sewer line. We thought they had removed the broken cable from our line, but instead, they left 14 or 15 feet of cable in our line to cause a massive problem over two years later. On 9/6/24, we woke up to find water soaking the floors of a bathroom, bedroom, and hallway connecting the two rooms. Shoda found that this was due to the sewer line being almost completely blocked, and noted the reason to be "Possible broken line." For the next 12 days, we had to limit our water use. This meant bathing, doing dishes, and doing laundry at the homes of family and friends, and accruing additional expenses due to not being able to prepare food at home. When they did the big dig job in our backyard, the Shoda dig crew verbally acknowledged to us that they had removed "14 or 15 feet" of cable from the sewer line, and that this was the sole cause of the sewer drain line blockage (toilet paper, etc being packed against a twisted mass of cable over time). When we asked the Shoda dig crew why their cable had been left in our sewer line for almost three years to eventually cause this problem and property damage, they could not give us a clear answer. We paid Shoda over $2,000 to diagnose and treat a problem that they were the sole cause of. There are plenty of other sewer service companies in the Fort Wayne area - please do not risk your money and property by using this one. read more

I would highly recommend Shoda as we have trusted them for decades. Today Kam did an exceptional job diagnosing and fixing our sewer issue. He was very professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and methodical in his approach. I appreciate him taking the time to answer our questions and inform us what he found. read more

We've turned to Shoda three times in the last few years to deal with issues in an old house we're renovating, and I must say we couldn't be happier with the service they have provided. Just fantastic. They do what is necessary and are very up front about what is not necessary, or how the homeowner can save money. And the work they do is top notch. You know when Shoda has done it, it's been done right. I would highly recommend this locally owned, family run business to anyone in need of sewer or drain services. You won't be disappointed in Shoda! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Cannot say enough great things about this company. Arrived promptly (called ahead!), diagnosed the problem quickly, was careful and neat in his work, and resolved it within an hour. DJ, you are our hero! For anything related to drains/lines that run out from your house, this is the company to call. Thank you! read more

Very happy with the service. They were able to find the problem, which no one else was able to do. They came out on the weekend to finish the job since it happened during a crazy busy time and the weather couldn't be too cold for the digger. The only reason they aren't 5 star is because we had to follow up with them a couple of times to get the last bit done (needed doing in the spring). But it has been a year and we haven't had any additional problems. My parents have also used them for several years and been happy with them. read more

Terrible service! I called them because they claim they use advanced camera inspection for drain cleaning and jetting to clean sewer lines. Our washing machine, tub and bathroom sink were not draining properly and overflowing. I didn't know why and relied upon them to tell me. The guy showed up and stuck a little pipe cleaner down our washer pipe that drains down and couldn't get anywhere with it so he charged me $125, said it was improved some, and he left. Did not use his camera inspection nor did he check or clean our sewer lines. We did laundry that night and ended up with water all over the kitchen. He performed no actual service. It was a total waste of time and money. I will never use Shoda Sewer Service again. read more

Very friendly service professionals! They do great work and are reasonably priced. If you need any drains unclogged or other related work, call them!! read more

October 2018. Thanks to Shoda I have my home back! We had excessive moisture in the house for years and none of the companies we hired earlier could find the cause of it. We called Shoda to do an inspection on the sewer line and they found a leak under the house. We saw on a camera recording that it was pretty bad. We have decided to replace the entire sewer line in our house. They came out to complete an estimate that was emailed to me next day and included every little detail from our conversation about the work that had to be done. I really respected the honesty and professionalism and had no intention to call any other company to do an estimate. The cost was also a little less than the amount they mentioned when they came to complete an estimate. I met some of the workers while they worked on our house and would like to share they are all great working people and handle their job with so much respect to homeowners. They do great work and are reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend them to anybody that needs this work done. Jasminka & Zuhdija Rizvanovic read more

I had a blockage in my outside sewage pipe and ended up having a section of it replaced, as well as adding an external clear-out, both requiring a section of my back yard dug up. Shoda Sewer Service worked around freezing temperatures to get the problem solved and the drainage restored to my house as quickly as possible. What I found especially merciful was the company's efforts not to damage my landscaping even whilst maneuvering a digging machine in my small back yard. I would definitely recommend Shoda Sewer Service! read more

We have trusted Dennis and his team at our previous home, and continue to enjoy the exceptional service and integrity at our new home. We wouldn't call anyone else with our plumbing, sewer, and general home projects! read more
