Acme Drain & Rooter Service

Chris came out today and seems to have done a good job at a decent price.

His interpersonal skills, however, were unprofessional, to say the least. Chris had provided a free estimate, which we were very grateful for, but he did not put the estimate into writing.

Given that this job cost several thousand dollars, we asked that he write out the terms of the agreement, as accountability on both sides. Chris instead spent about twenty minutes complaining to my mom that in his thirty years of business, no one has ever made such a request of him. He also kept referring to our business arrangement as him ""helping us out,"" which we felt was very odd, because this is a transaction, not a favor between friends.

It was also very odd that Chris threatened to leave without completing the job, because he felt so offended by our request for a written contract. Ultimately, he wrote the terms on a receipt and completed the job.

I called Chris based upon Yelp reviews. I've had terrible issues with landscape drainage for several years. I called on a Sunday and he came out to take a look at the problem that afternoon. A few days later I decided to use a very reputable plumbing company that had successfully resolved other plumbing issues for me. Unfortunately, they were unable to resolve the problem. I scheduled Chris to come out the following day. He showed up with his top of the line equipment and totally solved the drainage issues in less than two hours. Chris is very good at what he does. I'm convinced that he saved me several thousand dollars by me not having to rip out a patio and driveway to replace the drainage system. I highly recommend him.

Highly recommend Acme Drain! They were the only plumbers who showed up quickly on a holiday weekend and they were so nice, honest, and professional! They swiftly and professionally took care of our tree root problem and left everything spotless!! Call ACME!

I called Chris in afternoon on a Saturday. He was able to come out right away. I had roots in my pipe and septic. He explained everything and showed me everything on the camera live so that I understood what we were dealing with. He was able to take care of the problem. He spent the time and went above and beyond what we originally talked about to help me fix my problem. He stayed after dark and it was his wife's birthday to boot. He did not try to upsell me on anything and believe me that happens a lot.

I highly recommend Chis as he is Knowledgeable, Honest, Dependable and a very nice and kind person.

His Yelp reviews are not made up. He truly deserves the high marks and great reviews he gets.

Yelp has purposely added the incorrect phone number to this page. Call (559) 222-4262 to actually reach Chris. He provides excellent service and is my go-to for all my plumbing needs. Fast to respond and excellent follow-up to ensure that your needs have been met.

Another shout out to Rodney at Acme Plumbing. He replaced part of a sewer line in my front yard. He worked non-stop until the job was done. And when he was done, you couldn't even tell he had dug a huge hole in the yard!! Great company, professional and efficient worker, reasonably priced.

We bought a house with a known long-standing drainage and flooding problem, and found out how bad it was only two months into home ownership, when our sunken living room flooded. Several contractors estimated $20-$30K to rip out and replace the entire area drainage, without even knowing what or where the actual problem was. Chris spent over an hour with us explaining the most common problems, and providing substantial free expertise. He brought his equipment the next day and cleaned out our area drainage system, removing 30+ years of dirt, rocks, and roots. He also pinpointed the real problem: a redwood root that completely crushed the drain pipe. He even ran through our sewer pipe as a bonus and found where the original landscapers put a hole in the pipe to plant a bush that was slowly clogging it. Thanks to his camera diagnostics, we could see the problems clearly. We can make some of the fixes ourselves and are ultimately spending a few thousand, rather than replacing the entire system AND eventually having the sewer clog (yuck!). We will absolutely be hiring him to come back and do regular maintenance so our drainage doesn't get full of roots again. I highly recommend him - he has the tools and the expertise to find the problem areas so you aren't flying blind trying to fix things, and he is great at showing and explaining what happened so we can avoid repeating the mistakes the prior homeowner made. Thank you, Chris!

Chris was very fast to respond and helpful. Not only did he solve my clog but recommend some things I should do to prevent problems in the future. Definitely saving his number
