Description of work "Apollo Drain & Plumbing Inc. used a pressure washer to remove a bone from my sewer cleanout."

Member comments "I got a call on a Saturday afternoon from the renter of a duplex I own informing me the bathtub wasn't draining and water was backing up into the adjoining unit's tub. In fact, any water used, including flushing the toilet, ended up backing into the bathtub. I called Apollo because they have 24-hour emergency service, and a technician met me within the hour. It was dark and freezing cold outside, but he crawled under the house to find the sewer cleanout and asked if I'd be willing to pay more to use the pressure washer to knock the object loose. I agreed, and he really hustled and got a huge bone out of the sewer line. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it!"
