We called Grumpy's based on these Yelp reviews (the only low score is a guy that obviously didn't pay attention to the receptionist) and they came right out, they were speedy, efficient and friendly and the price was unbeatable. They didn't try to sell us anything at all, didn't try to gouge on time or any of the other common tactics from the bigger companies. Recommend whole-heartedly!

I am a realtor and refer Grumpy to all my clients. Rich with Sewer Sleuths who videos sewer lines for realtors recommended Grumpy to me and he is the absolute best in the business. Also not Grumpy, but instead a Southern Gentleman.

Grumpy's Drains is the best! I don't normally write reviews, but maybe there is someone out there who, like me, doesn't know who to call. I called Grumpy's at 9:00 this morning, they were at my house fixing the problem before 10 o'clock! Wow! While this was probably just luck, it sure was awesome. Secondly, the prices were exactly what they said on the website, which took a lot of pressure off me. You know how when someone is billing you hourly, you never know what you're going to get? These guys had flat fees. I had them do my kitchen sink and then for another 30 bucks they did my shower drain. Everything works great now, plus they told me how to prevent the problem in the future. This place is truly worthy of the highest review, I wouldn't call anyone else. Thanks Keith!

After a wild rain storm last night we woke up to some muddy sludge coming up from our floor drain in the laundry room. I tried calling a couple of other companies but they didn't answer the phone. Tried Grumpy's and the woman picked right up. She was so polite and patient, was very reassuring when I explained the problem. She went on to tell me the flat rate for fixing the problem and said he could be by around 2:00. Great!

Before noon the plumber called, said he could come by now if I wanted. Of course! In no time at all he got it unplugged, ran water down there without any trouble at all. He was also friendly, didn't talk down to me and he was dressed nicely (if you know what I mean). I would recommend them to all my friends with clogged drains.

I'm feeling just a bit grumpy about my drain cleaning today.

With all the Yelp ""5-Star ratings"" and glowing testimonials, I gave GRUMPY's DRAINS a call to clear my sewer line today.

I explained the problem carefully to the office lady, who seemed rushed to just get my name and address and send out a service technician.

Keith arrived ahead of schedule (great with me).

But, when I explained the situation to him -- the over-the-phone estimate of $115 immediately grew to $211.

Keith did find roots in the line, the cause of the problem. He showed me a clump of roots he said he cut out of the sewer line.

And, he claimed to run the TV camera ""scope"" down the line -- but although I was working in my office 10 feet away, made no offer to show me that the line was now clean. I take him at his word; that he looked and it was clean.

Then, he pitched a Root Killer application -- injecting a foam in the sewer line for another $145.00 to keep the roots from growing back -- but for only a year. I can expect to pay at least $145 a year in the future to kill 'em back

Well, who the heck wants nasty roots growing back in their sewer line? I bit.

He cleaned up the work area well, and I paid the invoice by check: I had to, they don't take DISCOVER, only take VISA or MASTERCARD -- no others. Removing a clump of roots just outside my home ended up costing $356.00.

Let me be clear: Keith DID check in with me on the ""ups and extras"" in advance of providing treatment. It does seem he did a good job (must let the root killer work for several hours) so I can't flush and try it out).

But get ready to pay more than the low-ball price, quoted on the phone.

Fantastic quick service!!!!! I called about a clogged up sewer drain. They quoted me the price, were at my house within an hour, on a Sunday no less! After fixing drain let me watch camera inspection. Polite, friendly and efficient. (:

Perhaps the least appropriate name in business. Grumpy arrived on a Sunday morning and was as ungrumpy as it gets. He even let me look over his shoulder and explained exactly what was wrong so I could deal with it in the future. Then he did a free camera examination of our main line. When all was said and done he charged considerably less than I had been quoted on the phone the previous day and half of what another quoted as a ""dispatch fee."" Did I mention this all happened on a Sunday morning? One of the best service experiences I have ever had. Bravo Grumpy's!

No more waiting for hours for plumbers to fix my drain. Grumpy's is the best. I was told exactly what time he would arrive and what the cost would be of fixing my drain. They have also accommodated my work schedule.

We were in, of course, an emergency situation. They were helpful, friendly, and appreciative of our financial woes. We got the problem fixed on the first visit, with suggestions for future work to prevent recurrence. They said they would come within the hour, and it was less than that. Very helpful, reasonable rates, and I will definitely use them again. I've already recommended them to a family member who owns rentals.
