I'm a hands-on homeowner. Before calling anyone I tried a 6-foot auger, a 25-foot hand snake, a 50-foot rental machine, and the exterior cleanout. Nothing worked. My master bathroom was out of commission for five days -- toilet backing up, upstairs bath draining into the master, the works.
I also had a neighborhood plumber show up, work without my authorization, vacuum my p-trap (which flooded my master with sewer gas), make a complete mess, and then demand $575. I sent him home.
Then I called Hymns Plumbing.
One visit. They accessed the correct cleanout, ran their cable, cleared the line, and then ran a camera to find out what caused it. A set of keys. Lodged deep in the branch drain line -- something no snake was ever going to break through.
$225. Done.
But here's what really got me: when I came back they had cleaned up things I never even asked them to touch. No upsell. No drama. Just honest work at a fair price.
Hymns has a customer for life. If you're in the DFW area and you want a plumber who actually knows what they're doing and treats your home with respect -- this is your call. read more
