Emily in Riverdale
Clear roots in basement Our basement drain was overflowing whenever we did laundry. I called Absolute for a free estimate on the problem. Andrew was able to come that day and tried to assess the problem without using the camera, which we ended up doing anyway. Once we saw the roots on the camera, he was able to mobilize a crew within the same week. Approx. 10 ft worth of ceramic pipe had to be removed due to the growth of roots within, which was blocking 40-80% of the pipe diameter. The guys that came took a number of measures to minimize disruption to our house, incl. laying a drop cloth from the front door to the basement, hanging plastic sheeting around their workspace in the basement to prevent dust from falling on the surroundings, and keeping the front door closed as much as possible as they came in and out with their equipment. During the job it seemed like there were piles of dirt everywhere, but when it was done all the dirt was gone and the only area that was exposed was the path where the pipe had been removed and new cement had been laid. They had quoted 3 days worth of work, but finished in 2. Jos walked us through all the paperwork to get our rebate and answered all of our questions. An overall pleasant experience, considering the work that needed to be done.
