John Meade, a very professional master plumber, came out to my home and cleared a clog in my main sewer line. It was a difficult clog and he worked until he was satisfied it was clear. John then called an associate, also a master plumber, who did a video inspection to reveal why I had this problem. John's associate, Jim Mort, then explained why the clog occurred, and proposed three options to prevent the problem from recurring. The proposals ranged from a cleaning and herbicide treatment for about $1000 to a guaranteed permanent repair costing $4000. My total charge for the cleaning service and the video inspection was $99 about 1/3 what a competitor quoted to just clear the clog. My $99 bought a prompt solution to my drain problem and the quotation for cleaning and repair services were presented without any pressure, to inform me how I might prevent a much larger more costly repair if the situation is neglected.
I called two other businesses before settling on Thorton & Grooms. The dispatch person, Dean, was every bit as professional as the service people he sent. This is a wonderful honest company you can trust if you have a plumbing emergency.
