What customers said about drain cleaning
Daniel arrived on time and assessed the problem. He gave the options and cost. Both techs were very friendly and up front. We felt very comfortable with them. Very honest and professional. Took their recommendation for repair. Thank you
Great experience with PV. Devin was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to address my plumbing issue.
Arrived before appointment. Assessed problem quickly & correctly. Completed repairs professionally.
We do everything plumbing, electric and HVAC through Hobaica. We wouldn't use anyone else. Quick scheduling of service. Knowledgeable service techs. They are ALWAYS on time for appts. Most importantly, they deliver peace of mind, which can't be purchased.
Valerie with Comfort Authority helped us with a sluggish kitchen drain line. She cleaned it, used the jettison apparatus and then followed up with a view by camera. All work was completed and invoiced as described. She was knowledgeable, professional and kind. She took her time to do the job. Valerie explained…
Daniel Menhart is awesome, did a phenomenal job at the house, fixed our clogged bathtub in no time! #goat
