Our service-minded approach to sewer issues

Many Baltimore homeowners find themselves in a tough situation when facing plumbing emergencies. A sewer problem needs fixing as soon as possible, but you don't want to spend any more money than you have to. Unfortunately, emergency plumbers charge expensive emergency pricing for their services. Often, these plumbers recommend full replacements of sewer lines. The costs range from $10,000s to much more for "trenchless options." These come with long-term financing plans that will keep you on the hook for years. Just because you started with one of these plumbers doesn't mean you need to keep using them. There is another way! Get an educated second opinion.
