FAQ
Fast answers that remove doubt and help you decide quickly.
Does “No Charge” mean the whole visit is free?
No. It applies to the drain clearing attempt from one accessible entry point. If structural issues are found, additional services (camera, hydro jetting, repairs, toilet removal, excavation) are quoted separately and require approval. If corrective service is declined, a standard service/diagnostic fee and any approved diagnostics apply.
What if you need to remove a toilet or dig an access point?
Toilet removal/reset, fixture removal, multiple access attempts, or digging/creating an exterior cleanout are additional costs. We will quote and get approval before proceeding.
Do you do hydro flushing / hydro jetting?
Yes. Hydro jetting is an upgraded service that fully flushes buildup and helps prevent recurring clogs. It’s quoted separately based on the situation.

Posted on Greg WilliamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our sump pump & battery backup system failed last night at 1000pm After bailing water to prevent water damage to our basement for a 1/2 hour my spouse was able to find a 24/7 service company that will send an after hours technician to our residence I was surprised that companies that advertise 24/7 service when called will only schedule the service call for the next day PHD Plumbing took our after hours call and sent a technician within the hour Brandon arrived on site & replaced our sump pump I can not thank him enough for his excellent service & professional installation Not to mention the fact that if Brandon didn't show up last night our basement would have been flooded leaving us with a much bigger issue and associated cost Lastly, I would say that I was pleasantly surprised with the fair pricing for the work completed I would highly recommend PHD Plumbing for anyone needing future plumbing service or installationPosted on Caroline DownesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
