We had this sewage problem and called out of the yellow pages a router specialist and they came and cleared the drain and for this they charged me $745.45, and they said that they would include a video inspection free, unless more work may be needed. Of course there were roots in the drain and they said that they had to charge #617.13 for the video as they needed to come back to locate the problem and dig it up to repair and that would cost $7000.00 approx. The next day I called the city of Markham thinking maybee the town would be responsible, and of course it is our responsibility. The gentleman from Markham did state that is sounds like it would be our responsibility but would need to send Roy from Mayday Services to check for sure and he said it would cost about $150.00 to check, and I agreed.
About 1/2 hour later Roy was at my house and I showed him the problem and he started his thing. First he used the video to check what is going on and found roots in the line but the line itself was in good shape. He then put the worm into the drain with this cutter assembly at the end and in about 15 minutes the 3 foot root was on the basement floor and all is well. Then Roy gives me the bill and I am afraid to look, but to my surprise it was under $300.00. Roy was a gentleman who knew his trade, and more important he knows how to treat people with respect.
I would call or recommend Roy and Mayday Drain Services any time
