I used Easy Flow to replace all the cast iron drains under a 1960 house on a slab using trenchless bursting. The quote was far less than one I had just recieved from a well known company that wanted to trench up the slab the length of the house over 2 weeks. Scheduling was easy, Mark and his crew did outstanding professional work, finished the job in 2 days, and left everything clean with surprisingly very minimal intrusion to the house. I would highly recommend this company, trenchless methods are the only way to go this day in age and Easy Flow are clearly experts. read more

Excellent work done on time to repair our back yard drainage problem. Love the fact that a whole lot of concrete did not have to be ripped up. read more

Our home in Del Mar, CA was constructed in the 1950s. Although it's been remodeled a couple of times, we never attended to the condition of the sewer line connecting the house to the City sanitary sewer in the street. Last August, the sixty-something year old cast iron line collapsed and we knew it was time to make a major repair or replacement. We feared it would require major excavation in our patio and gardens, and inside our home. We called in three rooter services to get estimates. The first one, was so aggressive, the workers started digging up our plants before we were ready to sign the contract. We got rid of them fast. The next one was quite reasonable and recommended a process that would require pulling a pipe liner through the partially collapsed line, but would require excavations at both ends of the line, as well as at each bend. We were interested, but still uneasy about the cost and excavations required. Then, we interviewed Mark Bustle of Easy Flow. Mark was so relaxed and easy to talk with. He explained his method wouldn't require any excavation other than to access the clean outs, could be completed in one or two days, and his price was the lowest of the three. Moreover, he didn't ask for payment up front, or even a deposit. He would bill us when the work was completed and we were completely satisfied. We were hooked. I did some independent research on the equipment and method Mark described to us, and found it was the latest technology, called "Cured in Place Pipe," or CiPP, is fully approved in the latest version of the CA Uniform Plumbing Code, and doesn't require a City permit. Sure enough, Mark and his crew arrived early at the appointed time to begin, and had the entire 100 feet of sewer line installed and ready to use by the end of the day! Moreover, he was able to reline the sewer main under our concrete foundation without having to do any work inside! You have to see this process to believe it. Check it out on YouTube. Mark met and exceeded all of our expectations, and satisfied every claim he had promised. His expert crew worked efficiently and cleanly. When done, there was no mess - one couldn't even tell work had been done. But i have the video to prove it. Thanks again, Mark. read more

I don't give five stars if everything is perfect but in the real world when unanticipated problems get fixed and addressed promptly. After my existing plumber cleared my main for a 10 unit apartment North Park three times in six weeks, I knew something painful and expensive was coming my way. My existing plumber wanted $250 to run a camera through my main plus the third time he came to clear he only brought 70 feet of line and could not clear it to the city line. I had decided to get the free camera service from Easy Flow before this third clean out of the main. Mark arrived while the existing plumber at 4:30 PM said he had to go back to the shop to get an extension. Knowing all the tenants would be coming home I was mortified since sewage had backed out my main clean out behind the building. Mark said he could have someone to clean it out in 10 minutes which was less than existing plumber. I sent the existing plumber home and sure enough Mark's guy rather than bringing a snake brought a water jet and set up and cleared main in the same time it would have taken my plumber to just get his big main snake set up. Then Mark put his camera to my main and showed major cracks 15 feet down and then again just 85 feet in. Plus a lateral from the laundry room had tree roots and also was cracked. Since the main was close to bursting, I was lucky that they had an opening to start the next day. Since it was a new high tech relining "trenchless" method he said it would take a couple days and tenants would still be able to use the sewer during the evening. The first day they dug up the sidewalk behind the building in the alley where they could then power clean and drag chain to prepare for liner. The also dug up in the washer room to fix the lateral. The tenants that night could use the sewer. Next day they used cameras to record laterals and begin the relining process. They first relined the main toward the city sewer which was pretty weak pipe and while working on the up line part of the main they had some major equipment failures(They have lots of very expensive high tech systems)that threw off their timing and decided to reline the rest of the main the following day. Again, my tenants could use their sewer drains after work hours. The third day they relined the rest of the main under the apartment and fixed the lateral under the wash room. They also used a cutter robot and camera to open up the now hardened main to each lateral of every apartment. This process is pretty amazing since the finished product after they coat the liner on one side that has material to absorb the resin and then used compressed air to blow the liner while inverting it into the main with resin side into the existing pipe that becomes just like a hard pipe within a pipe that has a 30 year warranty. That night the tenants could use drains but Sunday I got a call from an upset downstairs tenant who had a backed up toilet that was backing up on the floor. I had to put up this tenant into a hotel for the night while the tenant above him who had two bathrooms agreed not to use the toilet that shared the same lateral to the main. Easy Flow came out first thing Monday morning and opened up the lateral which only was partially cut open. The same thing was also found on a kitchen drain on another apartment later which created a mess in a downstairs apartment since that tenant had been away for a week. Meanwhile instead of having their concrete guy just redo half the sidewalk that had been torn up as agreed they offered to do the whole sidewalk at no charge. Since they do lots of city work they use some really high end approved concrete and the sidewalk looks very good and solid.The job cost half of what a regular main replacement would have cost and that's not counting the cost of having to put up ten tenants for days in hotels. If you are a landlord with an older building don't wait for the main to burst. Get a free camera check of your main and do a reline before things get really bad. These guys are very experienced and obviously have invested in a lot of very expensive high tec equipment. read more

I had already spent 300 dollars trying to have my drains cleaned before calling Easy Flow, but to no avail. I had 3 different plumbers come out and snake my drains. However after a day maybe even a couple hours after they left, my plumbing was backed up again. Needless to say I was frustrated. Then I found Easy Flow. Mark came out to my house the next morning as promised. When mark arrived he got out his drain camera and immediately found the problem. ROOTS!!!! He suggested hydro jetting, it was the only thing that would fix my problem and he guaranteed it. I had already spent 300 for nothing, so what do I have to lose. His crew came out the same day and went to work. After they left Mark called me and said they were all done and that he would be out to camera the line to show me what has been done to get rid of the roots. Mark came back showed me, using his camera that the roots were gone. He was honest in telling me they may come back, but not for a long time. Now everything to flowing great!! No back up's into the tub and on the floor. I highly recommend Easy Flow for helping you with your drain needs. Thanks Mark David read more

We had been having plumbing/sewer problems for years due to a large tree in our front yard. We've had numerous plumbing companies out to snake the drains as well as renting equipment ourselves. We had been told that our best option was to remove our 70 year old tree. We had heard about pipe lining so we did some searching on the internet to investigate. We found Easy Flow and gave them a call. We called yesterday afternoon and spoke with Mark on the phone and he told us he could come out and put a camera into the lines. He arrived within an hour. He found that our recently snaked sewer line was still filled with roots. He explained the pipe lining procedure and gave us a reasonable bid. After a short discussion we decided to proceed . Mark advised us that they could get his crew out immediately to hydro jet the lines and then would be back in the morning to complete the pipe lining. The crew arrived first thing this morning and completed the pipe lining. The entire procedure went smoothly and his entire staff was professional and knowledgeable. By noon today, the job was completed. The crew did all of the cleanup and hauled all necessary trash away. We had a great experience with Easy Flow and can't wait to tell all of our friends about them. read more

Mark and Jim showed excellent customer care and service. Straightforward, upfront, professional,and courteous. Their work crew had a great attitude and was nice to work with. They were hard-working, dedicated, and knowledgeable. They took care to protect our yard and interior floors, and minimize damage to the drywall in accessing the sewer lines. They patiently answered all of our questions and were happy to explain what they were doing as they worked. When they uncovered an unrelated plumbing code violation by a former contractor, they immediately brought it to our attention. After we verified it was a code violation, they fixed the problem at cost (that is, no profit to the business). Mark and Jim promptly addressed problems that came up. On one occasion, Mark immediately volunteered and performed extra service that the company was not under contract to provide as consideration for the inconvenience we experienced when an unexpected problem arose. We appreciate their services very much. read more
