Sewer Lines
Report
Sewer lines are the largest drains with all other drainage in the home or commercial property leading to them. A main sewer line runs underground from the house or building to the city sewer line or septic tank. Sewer lines can become clogged with debris accumulating from other household drains and even by tree roots that penetrate the pipe joints from surrounding soil.
Shower & Bath Tub Drains
Report
The clogging culprit for bath tub and shower drains is usually the buildup of soap and hair in the trap and drainpipe. When in use, you should never see standing water in your shower or tub as properly functioning drains should carry water away almost instantly.
Kitchen Sink Drains
Report
Over time kitchen sink drains can gradually accumulate grease, soap, fats and other substances on the inner walls of pipes and this buildup can cause drains to runs slow and eventually not at all. Our technicians will use a special sink machine to remove all debris and clear the clog, allowing water to flow properly again.

They were able to get out just over 24 hours after I called which was WAY different from the other plumbers I contacted who were DAYS out. They communicated clearly with me and even asked if they could come over earlier than scheduled. Service was fast and effective. Technician was great. All in all a really positive outcome after the big clog that put my only bathroom sink and shower out of commission. Thank You!

They told us it would cost $600 to pump our septic system. That seemed sensible and they were very prompt with scheduling. When they arrived they couldn't find the pump out location, so they left. but not before charging us $315 for a 'truck fee' which is the first we had heard of such a fee. I feel robbed. EDIT: The owner called me after the fact and was very kind and reasonable.

Since the $315 wasn't previously agreed on, he is refunding that. While a little more clarity before hand would have avoided this issue, the resolution was excellent and full of empathy.

Great customer service. The tech was running late due to another job, but let me know when to expect him. He was super professional. He explained what he was doing and answered all of my questions. He cleared a drain in my sink and shower. He checked the septic and we discussed what I need to know for when it needed to get pumped. I will definitely call this company again.

West side drain did a great job. The appointment process was easy with Doug, he scheduled the day and time and when the appointment came up, they were right on time. Kept me up to date as they arrived, via text. Prompt and professional. Greg, the technician, discovered a problem in my septic tank. Greg explained the issue, the fix and why he thought it was important.

I agreed. I explained to him that the prior company, American onsite, said it couldn't be fixed, etc. He said it could be fixed. He called in, they got another person onsite the same day, within an hour, they fixed the issue quickly, fixing a long term problem that I was told could not be fixed. I can't say enough about Greg (technician) and the company. Definitely, will not be going anywhere else and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you!

West Side Drain & Noble Septic Service was able to squeeze me in the day after I called! Harrison was on time, professional, and fixed our clogged sink after a run to Home Depot to get a part he didn't have in the van. Great value and expedient job! Would definitely use them again. Service:Faucet repair

Greg worked with my schedule, showed up right on time, and fixed my plugged laundry room drain. Other plumbers were convinced the drain pipe was collapsed and wanted to replace if for several thousand dollars. Greg just went to work unplugging the existing drain. It wasn't easy, but he kept working until the job was done. Very professional service.

I found West Side Drain on Yelp, read the reviews, and called them on a Sunday. Even though we had to pay weekend rates, we were SO thankful someone could come out that same day, and the operator Doug was very friendly and thorough, explaining everything that he did and that still needed doing at a later appointment. The men who came out later in the week finished the job in good fashion. Highly recommend this business!

Called today for a clogged kitchen sink - not only did they get me in same day, but we're able to come even earlier than initially scheduled. Harrison was very friendly, thorough, got our problem fixed quickly, made extra sure the problem was solved, and cleaned up the spillage. Fee was as quoted, no surprises. Definitely recommend - will call again if we ever need plumbing services again!

I booked my appointment online very easily, it gave me a date and a choice of times for that date. Later the company called to say they could actually fit me in on a much earlier date. Harrison was the tech, very polite, speedy and efficient. Thank you for the excellent service. Happy New Year.

Waking up to a septic alarm is never a good way to start your day! I got online and started looking for a company that could take care of everything from figuring out why the alarm went off to repairing in the first visit. Greg was onsite before 10:00AM and the pump was repaired and working by noon. Greg was able to educate me on the why's of needing to have the tank pumped out and I agreed to have them go ahead and pump it.

I was shocked at how full the solids level was in the tank! We were extremely lucky that things weren't ruined by our lack of maintenance. Know we know that this needs to be done every 3-5 years and we will definitely know who to call! Doug, the owner and Jon were the lucky ones to do the pumping and had a great attitude the whole time. I kept asking if their masks were working any better than mine because smell was making it through mine. Thank you all, Dan

We had a serious back up and they were out quickly and solved the back up in a timely manner. The technician that came out was professional and did a great job. Their price was fair, and actually a lot less than the other companies we called. They did not try to sell us anything extra, and instead came out and did the job we asked them to do. I absolutely recommend them.

My toilet was leaking around the base. West Side Drain responded quickly to my request for both a sight-unseen diagnosis of the problem and a quote. The diagnosis turned out to be correct, the cost to correct the problem was reasonable and the work was done in a very timely manner.

West Side Drain provided great service for a challenging septic tank. The lid was difficult to reach, but they persevered and limited any damage to the surrounding tile. They performed the work with precision and informed me along the way. I really appreciated their thoroughness and customer service. Well done!

We have used these guys before and they were responsive and did a good job. Today Justin was out and because I was on a call and asked him to wait a few minutes he packed up to leave. He ignored me when I tried to apologize that I was on the phone. Very unprofessional guy. I won't use this company again.

I spoke to Dave, the owner, and he seemed genuinely apologetic. He sent out another employee, Justin, to fix the pipe that had been damage and issued a partial refund for the services mentioned below. Justin was very thorough and spent a considerable amount of time fixing and testing the new pipe and connections he installed. With all the new fittings, including rubber couplings, I am not sure it is as strong as the original pipe, but both Dave and Justin seemed to do their best to resolve a bad situation.

Justin was great! We had a kitchen sink issue come up on a Friday night and they had Justin here by 9am on a Saturday morning. He was friendly, efficient, and gave us tons of helpful advice for preventing this from happening again. I would highly recommend West Side Drain!

Came out the same day I called. Was very professional and took my word for what was happening even though I ended up being wrong. We had a good laugh.

Were here exactly when they said when I contacted them this morning about a clogged and overflowing downspout. Did a quick and professional job and even ran the jet a bit down the rain drain that runs out to the street to make sure no problems there. Am very pleased and will recommend West Side Drain to anyone who needs this type of service!

Used them again in 2017. Great communication start-to-finish, quick response -- no problems. I thought it was going to cost a fortune and it ended up being a simple problem that was easily resolved. As a long-distance landlord, I really appreciate the honesty since I can't always be present to confirm things in person.

The guy who answered the phone today, I think the owner was rude, short and inconsiderate. I would not recommend. I quote " we can't help you and hung up".

I'm a realtor and had a lender require a septic certification just before closing and I was in a bind. I called West Side Drain and Victor was not only willing to drop everything to help me the same day but was incredibly kind and reassuring. And his pricing was incredible! I ended up not needing the certification after all and cancelled my appointment but I will certainly be using Victor and his services for any of my future needs as well as recommending him to my clients. Thank you!

I had my septic tank pumped out and inspected with a camera. The service tech Arthur found the leech lines were plugged and blasted them clean with a high pressure wash system. Arthur was professional, fast and I got a lot of work done for my money. I had checked a few other businesses for just pumping out the tank their prices are much lower than most.

I was very impressed with the level of service I received in hiring West Side Drain to clear out a clogged rain drain on my property. I got an appointment within the same week I called and the person I spoke with seemed very knowledgeable over the phone. When they came out, the problem was identified very quickly and resolved on the first visit. I was careful informed about pricing and at the end of the visit he went over where all my gutter drains connect for future reference. I was very happy with the price and all the work done. I would absolutely recommend this business and would certainly hire them again for any future needs!
