Update 11/25/2025 Had an issue with our toilet. Flushing very slowly. Called Lane plumbing to have them recommend someone to snake the drain. They now offer that service so I took them up on the offer. No regrets. Tony was amazing from start to finish. Solved not only the toilet flushing problem without dismantling…

Howard was prompt, friendly and very professional. Our drain was clogged with grease and it was a job to clear it. The price he charged was more than fair. We will definitely use their services again.
