A Draining Experience in Anderson Township, Cincinnati, OH. Had one of those kitchen sink drains that backed up if the water ran for more than 30 seconds. Tried over the counter drain cleaners (septic tank friendly) for over 2 years, but nothing worked satisfactorily. I offered to rent an electric eel, but my wife rolled her eyes and called Roto-Rooter instead. Though I offered to help, the technician (Louis) told me he would take care of everything. He covered up everything near the working area, cut into a pipe in the basement (i wouldn't have thought of doing that) and was able to get a straight line into the pipe leading to our septic tank. When the hand held auger wasn't doing the trick, he drug the big machine down to the basement and after numerous attempts and lots of patience, made it through roots and years of sludge back-up (uuugghh). Filled the kitchen sink, drained it twice and for the first time since we've been in the house saw that wonderful tornado draining effect of a clean drain. And perhaps the most wonderful thing was I was able to work on other honey-do items and I had no clean-up (I know I would have made a much larger mess). Would recommend Roto-Rooter and Louis to anyone with a plugged or stubborn drain.
