The summer of '09 was exceptionally wet and the basement drain in my century home was backing up. I called ExpressRooter because of the Mike Holmes connection and was not disappointed. Pleasantly surprised to find no additional charges for coming out on weekends, Jason, the technician, responded immediately and was able to fix the problem in no time. Using a camera within the drainpipes, I was also alerted to potential future problems due to blockage by tree roots. Although I was not pressured to do so, I opted to get this repaired as well and the timing couldn't have been better, as the tree roots in question were also completely blocking parts of my line, my neighbour's line and the city sewer pipes, and would have caused major problems in no time. The contractors doing this work were super fast (job completed within a few hours) and returned my front garden to its original state despite having had to dig a hole 9' deep to access the pipes. The original cost was only a few hundred; the final cost, including excavation and complete drain replacement was $4000 and well worth it.
