What Our Customers Say
When our main sewer line collapsed, DrainStar used their trenchless technology to replace it without destroying our landscaping. They were professional, worked quickly, and saved us thousands in restoration costs compared to traditional digging.
After three other companies gave us outrageous quotes for complete sewer replacement, DrainStar’s camera inspection found we only needed a spot repair. They fixed just the damaged section, saving us over $8,000. Honest, reliable service.
We had sewage backing up into our basement—a homeowner’s nightmare. DrainStar responded within an hour, found tree roots had crushed our line, and had it repaired by the next day. Their emergency service was worth every penny.
Our 1960s home needed serious sewer line work. DrainStar provided several options, clearly explaining the pros and cons of each. We chose pipe lining, and the results have been excellent. No more backups or slow drains, and they didn’t have to dig up our yard!
