He came out today. Stuck a camera down the pipe, identified the problem and ran the cable snake through it which fixed the problem.
He was here all of 7 minutes. Cost was $189 which is less than the others I called to check on his price. I guess someone has to pay for our $5 gallon gas, insurance drive time etc.
Re-coup the cost of , vehicle , tools , workers comp , liability , the cost of phone , his office & shop , taxes , liability insurance , vehicle insurance , licenses , drive time ( as you said ) , health care ,and it never stops .
Still , more than we charge for a service charge .
If most of your stoppages the toilet , I suggest you purchase a closet auger .
