Great Neck Sewer and Drain Cleaning

Lawrence K.

$$$$ Caution. I called Great Neck Sewer and Drain Cleaning on Saturday 12/10/16. There was no problem with my sewer but I was having 35 people over the next day and just wanted to make sure. I could not reach my usual sewer cleaning company and went to the internet and found this one. I spoke to the answering service who said the plumber would call within an hour and there was a $125 service charge plus the plumber's fee. Marco Villatoro of Marc Rooter Sewer Service called back right away, arrived within an hour and snaked out my sewer line as agreed. The total bill was $510. Marco explained that the fee of $385 + the $125 service would have been about $250 had I called him directly on a weekday.

The lessons are: Great Neck Sewer and Drain Cleaning is a referral service that charges a fee which is passed on to the contract plumber to collect; It may cost a lot to have a non-emergency taken care of outside of business hours, and it's important to ask the right questions before agreeing to a service.
