NOTE: I had to screenshot pictures of my review because Yelp only allows up to 5,000 characters and…read moreI wrote a book. So read this to start and then read the rest on the pictures attached. . On their website, under the offers tab, there will be a coupon that reads "83 Drain Clearing or It's Free". You may even have a flyer that came in the mail posted to your fridge with that same drain clearing deal. (Or any other coupon for that matter.) . IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT FALL FOR THIS BULLSHIT. . My husband and I had a pretty good back up in our main sewer line a week before Thanksgiving last year (2025). The pipe was clearly clogged, but if no water was turned on in the house for an hour or so, it would slowly flow down, so we still had drainage. We thought it would be a simple fix. A snake of the line should do the trick - it had been 10+ years since our last back up. . I only called Mainstream because of that 'offer' I spoke about earlier. Drain clearing - eighty three or it's free. Cool! This was perfect; it was exactly what we needed and impressively cheaper than everybody else out there. . Called and got a same day appointment - tech shows up about an hour later. It's like 3pm-ish. Younger guy. Asks a few questions, sees the stagnant water level from the drain in the basement and grabs an auger from his truck. He brings it down the stairs and I kid you not, this auger had three blades on the end of it that made a plastic butter knife look sharp. Tiny too, like maaaybe two inches long. (This is part of their plan, stick with me.) . He proceeds to clear the clogged pipe. Probably spends about 15-20 minutes on it and then tells us his auger has hit something in the line and it is unable to go any further, BUT lo and behold, his supervisor is a few minutes away with a camera attachment. So that we can SEE the clog. In a fully submerged sewer pipe filled with dirty water. Right. . Supervisor shows up with a small light attachment and the camera *amazingly* less than 10 minutes later. Hooks it up, pushes it back and forth aggressively, grunts a little, squints, all the selling points here. Meanwhile, my husband and I are looking at this dark-ass, 5 by 5 inch monitor (the same one they are) which shows us absolutely nothing. Imagine kicking up all the muddy sand from the shallow part of the river bank and then trying to see the bottom. . We give them space here and go upstairs instead of awkwardly watching them the whole time, but we are both skeptical AF at this point. . Here's where it gets good. Young guy leaves (without saying anything to us) and 'supervisor' begins to explain our situation. Dude's name is Matthew Gipson and apparently he is a drain specialist, not a part of the sales team...which is the position his business card reads. Interesting. Anyway, he tells us that THE MAIN LINE SEWER PIPE HAS COLLAPSED. He says the location of the collapse is about 25 to 30 feet from the house (which puts it *conveniently* smack dab in the middle of our gravel driveway and not our yard). He also goes on to tell us that he has fixed numerous houses in this same neighborhood due to the builders back in the 40's/50's using the Orangeburg pipes. Mind you, we do not have Orangeburg pipes, ours are clay. . The fix for this? $8,000 dollars...that was the quote. EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS. Which would consist of an excavating crew coming out the next day to rip up half our driveway, replace the pipe, and install a clean out in that location. . HAHAHAHA, YO WHAT?!‍ . I could keep quiet no longer. Was it possible there was a collapsed pipe? Absolutely. Was it possible that good ol' Mainstream wanted a little more than $83 on this service call and had instructed their employees to fabricate a lie to upsell and extract that money from a desperate homeowner with a time sensitive issue? *ding x3* . Holding back my disgust (difficult, as I just wanted this fraud out of my house at this point while trying to keep cordial), I simply said that my husband and I would be shopping for quotes on this and that we'd sleep on our decision and call back tomorrow morning. He wasn't expecting this response. He kept repeating that the excavating team could be there as soon as the sun rises, that no other company could match their price for this service, blaaah blah blah blah blah. . He eventually left. We didn't owe anything because of their "83 or it's free" deal (which he had mentioned multiple times throughout the appointment), but our evening was wasted and our line was still clogged. . (CONTINUED IN PICTURES)

Pierce came to our house to perform a drain inspection, as part of our annual maintenance plan. He…read morewas very friendly and knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about maintaining our plumbing. Thanks, Pierce!
