Awesome, just awesome! They had an opening and came out almost immediately, fixed our drain problem, and even helped with more drains than we originally anticipated. They were incredibly helpful, took the time to explain things, and I even learned a thing or two along the way! Highly recommend!

I had a drain line issue in my washroom, water was pooling on the floor, I called three other companies and they were backed up for days, I called Arctic Sewer and Drain and within minutes scheduled a service call that same afternoon.

Had a blockage in our sewer mainline resulting in downstairs bath tubs backing up on the Saturday after Christmas. Got an ETA of several hours because of a que of other calls and was surprised to get a call from the tech less than 3 hours later. Power snaked from the exterior cleanout and didn't even need to come inside and we're good as new.

We highly recommend Arctic Sewer & Drain for your plumbing/sewer needs. Stellar customer service, very knowledgable, and fairly priced. Once it was revealed that the scope of work went beyond their expertise, they recommended a great company to assist with excavating and fixing our pipes underground. When we were in an awful spot, they came through, willing to help. Thank you Isaac and team!

Isaac also gave me a usb with the footage on it, marked it in our lawn where we have a small sag in our main line. I understood all of what was being explained and gave recommendations on what needed done and whether or not it was urgent. Very polite, and professional. I will recommend them and use them if needed again. Very grateful for there expertise.

Isaac saved me twice. I called him for a camera inspection because my downstairs piping kept backing up. After he looked at the pipes he told me right away what the problem was & I didn't need a camera inspection, the pipes were not connected correctly and told me what needed to be done to get it working properly. Recently I had a leak upstairs under my kitchen sink. So I called Isaac, I told him I had a leak, he said that's not what they but he would take a look or he suggested a company that repairs leaks. One company came out to repair it but they didn't snake piping. Because of the exceptional service & communication on his first visit I called him back and he went there that day. Not only do he snake the pipes but he also repaired the leak. I will forever be a customer and I will highly recommend him. THANK YOU Isaac for your honesty and integrity.

My kids stuck toys in both the upstairs and downstairs toilets, thanks to the plumber who came and fixed them. He did a great job fixing our clogged toilets, kept everything clean throughout the process, and left the area very clean. The plumber was very timely, super professional, and affordable.

Received a call Friday afternoon and 20 minutes later the professional showed up. He was polite and carful and Solved the problem. at that point didn’t even ask how much it was, because It was worth it. I have to say the price was very reasonable and definitely fair. Can not be more pleased with the phone calls and service. I’m not even going to look for another company for my needs
