On the evening of Friday October 28, 2022 an unknown subject flushed a couple of items down our toilet. After a suspect line-up we narrowed our suspect pool down to one of two five year olds, twins to be exact. After some interrogation we determined more than one thing had been flushed, including a nail polish…

Sam and another coworker came to our house one hour after we called for help. They were professional, knowledgeable and fixed our water issue in no time. We will definitely use them again, possibly sooner than later as we do need a new toilet to be installed. Thank you Sam's Sewer and Drain Service!!!

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day that I would write a review. Especially one with such respect, and admiration! We had a toilet repair done today, 11/18/21. And I tell you they were honest, respectful, and all out good people. They do good work, and once they start a job, they don't leave until it's finished.…

I called these guys to help me replace a corroded water inlet to the toilet. He came out quickly (at my house in 20 minutes) and he fixed the inlet. He was very professional and nice. I have him coming back tomorrow to replace my laundry sink.
