Mario's Drain Control

Very happy with Mario's services! Helped clear out a blockage in our sewer line very efficiently. Plumbers aren't cheap in Marin, but I found his pricing to be fair compared to others I've used. Will use him again if needed.

I started learning how to snake clogged drains in middle school helping my dad manage rental property, so when my storm drain was backing up during the ""atmospheric river"", I knew I could clear it myself. After pulling out a bunch of roots with my snake, I sensed that victory was near, but no. After a couple of hours of fighting it (and busting the blade off my snake), I finally accepted defeat and called in the big guns. The first drain guy who examined it decided that he wasn't likely to do much better (I appreciated his honesty) and referred me to Mario. Solid advice! Mario and his brother Leo came over the next day to assess the situation and returned the following day to do the work. I wish I called them sooner. They tried snaking the pipe but soon determined that the problem was bigger than roots and started digging. They quickly discovered that a previous owner had crushed the pipe when pouring concrete for a fence post. They proceeded to dig out this old concrete block and then replaced the damaged pipe. The whole thing took under three hours. Massive props to Mario and Leo. Reasonably priced, responsive, friendly, and hard-working - Couldn't ask for more!

Great job clearing sludge from our kitchen pipes on a Saturday, on very short notice.

I found our cleanout mushroom vent in the front yard over-flowing at 3 pm. The other local vendor I use did not answer, so I found good yelp reviews for Mario, the owner. I called him, and then texted with address details. He promised to come in 45 minutes and did. He cleared the difficult tree roots in our old four foot clay pipes out at 20 feet, and had to clear again to flush well. He continued out to the sidewalk and pushed through some kind of a tin or metal half flap that another vendor had taken a picture of but did not go through. He quoted $200 on the phone but did extra work for $50 more, especially fitting a larger cleanout collar that I requested. Hard worker, thorough, friendly. Been here 20 or so years. Would use again, the first one I would call.

I contacted Mario in the late afternoon / early evening. They came by an hour later. My mainline is clogged. They snaked it and fixed the issue. Nice people and nice service. I would support a small local business like Mario's than those bigger companies. I appreciate it and thank you for coming out in the early evening. I will def. do business with Mario's again.

Mario and team came out on a Sunday to clear a nasty clog deep in our sewer system. He was able to come out very quickly and was friendly and professional.

Mario's was prompt, efficient, got the job done with fair pricing. No waiting, just showed up, did the job. No hassle, no over charges. Will definitely call them again.

Mario returned my phone call himself within five minutes of my leaving a voice mail. He set an appointment for the next morning. When his schedule backed up, he politely text me that he was running 30 minutes late. He arrived, scoped out the lay of the drainage pipes in my 1950s house, and went to work. He had the sludge cleared from the main drain within 30 minutes using his big auger machinery. He used his own buckets and towels to catch water from the pipes under the kitchen sink and he cleaned up 95% of the mess. He then cleaned out two slow draining bathroom sinks. EXCELLENT is how I am describing Mario's work. And he was pleasant to our dogs, too!

I called two larger companies on a Saturday afternoon to come out and clean a blocked main sewer line. Both told me I would have to wait two days for their earliest availability to come out, along with a 4 hour waiting window on the day.

I then called Mario's Drain Control and Mario himself answered the phone and said he could make it over in 40 minutes, on that same Saturday! He arrived right on time as he had promised and was courteous, pleasant and professional. Great Guy! He and his coworker went straight to work and cleaned out the sewer pipe.

The perfect example of an honest, experienced and well run small local business that I want to support. I highly recommend this company and will certainly use Mario again in the future.

I have never had a plumbing company respond so quickly and do such a wonderful job. I had the exact same problem and called a local well known company and paid $800 more!!! It pays to do business with honest people. I was able to open my restaurant and finish the day without losing the whole day. Thank you so much
