American Drain Company

We had an outdoor drain (the one that collected all the down spout rain along with the drains in the tiled areas) stop working which resulted in 5 inches of water in the atrium area that drained out through the garage. Now there's going to be another storm tonight bringing much more rain than last night! We put in a call to ADC. Tim and Brandon returned my call in 20 minutes and showed up in 10 minutes and had the drain unplugged about another 10 minutes after that. When I asked about settling up, they were in a hurry to get to their next call and said, ""You know what? We'll call it good. Please tell your friends about us."" Say what? What alternate universe am I suddenly in?! Anyway, thanks guys. We'll sleep better tonight and definitely tell our friend about ADC

Absolutely great experience. Complete professionals, high quality and thoughtful work, and always on time and responsive.

If you're looking for exterior area drain work, there is no one else you should call.

Nice guys. Arrived on time, jetted out my drain and gave me some good advice on how to get some upstream fixes done economically. I'd use them again for sure.

Called these guys in an emergency in which my water heater was leaking. They showed the very next morning, new water heater in hand, and got my back up and running ASAP. Their price for the new water heater and labor was 26% less than another quote I had gotten! It's hard to find trust worthy contractors, but I am so glad I came across ADC and plan to confidently use them for all my future plumbing needs, both for personal and business!

We called ADC when our storm drains backed up after the recent fires. They arrived when they said they would to investigate the problem. When the job turned out to be a lot larger than what we originally thought, the guys were amazing finding solutions that worked within budget limitations. They actually went above and beyond what they committed to. I normally do not do reviews, but I had to for these guys. I cannot say enough good things about them! If you have any issues with your plumbing, gives these guys a call, they will take good care of you. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could.

First let me start off by saying that I am a fairly particular person but I am reasonable to work with as well. On Sunday, recognizing that rains were about to come our way, I contacted American Drain Co and wanted to see if they were available to come out the next day to do a Hydro jet of my drains. Within 10 minutes! I had a return message and they accommodated the exact hour that would work for me...Exactly on the hour, a large van drove up with TIM and BRANDON. We Quickly spoke about what needed to be done and they were no nonsense in their approach. Sure they could have said I needed all kinds of other things to be done to accomplish what I needed, but they did not. They chose to do what needed to be done and gave me some recommendations. They worked hard and they worked fast. They knew just what they were doing. At the end of the day, I handed them a check, shook their hands, asked for their business cards and thought they did a great job.

So, as a homeowner what is one call we all dread making? Well, a call to the plumber of course! Woke up to find the kitchen sink not draining correctly. After trying all the stuff I normally do I surrendered to the depths of the sink and had to find a plumber... so, as a Yelper I turned to yelp to help me find a trustworthy plumber that wouldn't rob me blind... I threw out several Inquiries but these guys responded quickly and gave me an estimate before they showed up. Tim & Brandon arrived at the agreed upon time. On time, clean (shoe protectors donned on entering the house) honest-were able to unplug our kitchen drain without any equipment. Even worked to clear calcification from our kitchen fixture to improve water pressure flow & did not charge for the visit- amazing & unheard of in this day& age!  Truly impressed with the integrity of this business! I highly encourage you to call them if you're in need of these types of services!

We all know the term ""you get what you pay for"", and this is the case with hydro-jetting by American Drain Co. Tim & Brandon care about their work. I must first say that I am an active builder for 48 years, so I do have some knowledge and experience in how to do things properly. I am doing mostly construction management now, guiding owners on how to properly build their projects. Technology has advanced significantly over the years, and using a Hydro-jet to clean your area drains is (in my opinion) the ONLY way to properly diagnose, clean & repair your area drain and sewer systems. Most Plumbing subcontractors do NOT specialize in exterior area drain cleaning, but they might have a drain snake on their service truck. This does not mean they know how to deal with area drain or sewer drain line stoppages. Everyone has their specialty, and these guys have the specialty of cleaning and replacing drain lines, period!
This was my 3rd attempt to try to clear my area drain systems before having to jackhammer my patio to try to clear my drains, which I did not want to do. You should know that not all hardscape contractors have their area drain systems permitted or inspected, as these systems are not required as long as your yard is graded and capable of draining over the surface. However, often homeowners of new homes will opt to have their Landscape and Hardscape subcontractors install their hardscape with below grade area drainage systems, and the majority of these systems are installed in the past using inferior products which cause major problems in the future. Until about 20 years ago, the common method was to use a slip fitting type drainage pipe with tight corner fittings (not sewer drain fittings), which work fine for area drains until you have a stoppage. Since their joints are not glued, they often get roots in them, which grow and block the pipe, preventing it from draining. Then try to clear that stoppage with a snake, and I wish you good luck. The best method for all drain installations, and the one which I have used over the past 20+ years is to use normal sewer drain fittings and glued pipe (ABS or SDR-35), and make sure that all fittings are sweeps, and not tight 90 degree turns, as snakes cannot get by these turns. So, as you would guess, my home of 22 years (which I did NOT install the drains in) is about 29 years old, and the contractor who installed these drains used the old fashioned drains with tight turn fittings and no glued joints. Needless to say, after 2 previous attempts to clear my stoppages myself, I finally called these 2 guys to Hydro-flush my drains, based on their Yelp rating. They arrived together, both the owners of this company, with the intent of resolving my stoppage issues. This is unheard of in the ""new construction"" industry, and these 2 guys do NOT mess around. Also know that I seldom ever call someone I don't know, as I work in the building industry. But I found these guys on Yelp, as I knew I needed a hydro-wash specialist, and I liked the comments on their reviews, so I gave it a shot.
They arrived on time, 2 owners, a relatively new truck, new equipment, and extremely efficient from the moment they came out of their truck. Within 4 minutes they were working on my drains with a camera and ready to flush out my drains. They succeeded in flushing out both of my area drain systems within a matter of about 1-1/4 hours, and my systems were clear and ready for the winter rain! They ran into some obstructions in each of my drains, and after several attempts they managed to break through the stoppages! I am extremely grateful to Tim & Brandon, as I do NOT need to jackhammer up my patio just to clear a drain stoppage! Also, if you are installing new drains around your home, and you want it done the right way, then I would recommend these guys as a great choice. They know what they are doing, and they were fair with me. What else can you ask for?....
