I'm not surprised to hear other reviews with stories of decent work but questionable behavior…read morebehind-the-scenes. Amber Plumbing did acceptable work, but what was not acceptable was a series of sexist and racist comments they made before, during and after work performance. They made people feel uncomfortable in their own home. And, as many people without a sense of professionalism in social settings are, they were likely oblivious to the nature of their comments. Upon these complaints being voiced, they shrugged and proceeded to insult the female residents of the house. Out of politeness one laughed it off, and Amber took this as validation of their opinions, and proceeded to further voice these on their Facebook page, in response to a review.

Tony's Drain and Sewer Tried to Drain Our Wallet Instead…read more.. My husband and I called Tony's Drain and Sewer because a contractor recommended them, and we had a stubborn main line blockage. They sent over a technician who attempted to rod the line but couldn't get the equipment in. He gave up and stuck a camera in there. My uncle is a general contractor/handyman with over 30 years of experience, and he's run into this exact issue before with our plumbing. Last time we had this issue, he told us it was likely root intrusion, and that it just needs yearly maintenance. Unfortunately, we didn't keep up with the maintenance, and he lives across the country, so we couldn't exactly fly him in for an emergency toilet rescue. Tony's charged us for a camera inspection and promised to send a quote. The next day? Boom! "$7,500 minimum"... And that didn't even include landscaping repairs. For that kind of money, I was expecting front row VIP tickets to see Dave Chapelle, since clearly, Tony's team thinks they're in the comedy business. Thankfully, we got a second opinion. Another plumbing company with over 20 years of experience came out, scoped it out, and spent about 3 hours clearing the line and doing a full inspection afterward. It was a root blockage and some baby wipes. They got to the root of the problem (yes, pun intended) for just $300. Moral of the story: Don't flush wipes. Also, don't flush your money down the drain with Tony's. Always get a second opinion. 0/10, would not recommend!
