On Saturday February 15, 2014, with 6 to 10 inches of snow in Cincinnati, our main sewage drain line was clogged. Called Roto-Rooter at 5:30 pm Saturday evening, and was hoping to get someone to the house at least by Sunday morning ( or possibly Monday!?). I explained our plumbing problem, and Roto-Rooter said they would have someone at our house within 35 to 45 minutes! What a pleasant surprise when 40 minutes later Roto-Rooter's plumber Brian pulled in the driveway. After putting protective booties (operating room booties?) on, Brian surveyed the pipes and drains and conducted a couple tests to determine where the clog was located in the main drain pipe.\r

Brian quickly augured the sewage drain line, ran plenty of water through the system, checked that toilets flushed easily through the drain pipe, then re-augured the pipe. He must have cleaned everything, because no mess remained.\r
\r
He also volunteered some great advice about our sump pump; how it and the backup system worked, how old the backup batteries were, and recommended (with no sales pressure) that the batteries should probably be replaced due to age.\r
\r
Total time was about 2 hours, including diagnostics, repair cleanup and billing. But that sure beats having to drive to the gas station to use their restrooms over the weekend!!\r

We were very happy with the timely service, received the online $50 discount, learned a great amount about the houses plumbing drain system, and we also got a 6 MONTH GUARANTEE on the repair. Thanks Roto-Rooter.
