RON the SEWER RAT SERVICES & RATES

Ron the Sewer Rat is proud of our competitive pricing. We think you'll appreciate having our fees disclosed to you completely before having us perform work for you.

While no two sewers or drains are alike, it is almost impossible to quote a price that is fair to the consumer and the operator until the job is finished. Unlike some companies, "We are experienced" and do not charge for inexperience. It is often said about this business, "The less you know the more money you make". When we run into a problem, it is a problem, and we work hard to resolve it and expect to be fairly compensated.

For normal sewers we use 6" knives as Minneapolis - St.Paul some suburbs are 6" from the foundation to the street, and some suburbs are 6" from the curb to the street.

Additional charge may be incurred for a second man to help bring a machine into basement.

Access may depend upon conditions, we also retain the right to refuse to do a sewer because of access.

NOTE: Many lines are broken that we are called upon to work on. It is common for a break to be discovered by us boring into the dirt, a blade will come back shinny or it is possible that we might not even be able to get it out. Charge is still made, and additional charge may occur if we need to come out after repair is made.

GUARANTEE: We guarantee the work that we have done for you for 90 days, unless we have noted that there is a problem with the line. Please understand that roots can drop off after we have gone. Or they can be missed in the cleaning process or we may not have gone far enough. There may be an additional charge if cable needs to be added. Many level line may clog upon cleaning. As waste scraped loose may lay in the pipe and additional flushing is needed. Also roots can grow big enough, especially in a dry year, to plug the sewer within a year. Or enough debris may accumulate in a level line to clog it.

DRAIN LINES

$95 for 2" drain lines & smaller lines - Kitchen Sinks - Laundry Line - Lavatory Sinks - Bath Tubs* Floor Drains, etc.

*Some bath tubs may be equipped with drum traps and could be more - we recommend they be replaced where accessible.

$85 for toilets - some with very easy blockage $75

There are many objects capable of lodging in a toilet that we are not able to remove - sometimes it is necessary to contract a plumber to remove toilet to try to get object out or install a new toilet.

Rates after 1 hour at $65/per hour. When a second drain is done an additional price of 1/2 price occurs.

NOTE: Many drains require complimentary plumbing to get them working without leaking and an additional charge may be incurred, or it is necessary to call in a plumber.

NOTE: As plumbing ages (normal life of galvanized pipe is 50 years) many pipes develop leaks when being augured. We are also finding more and more cast iron pipe to be rotted out under grade (both 2" and 4"). It may become necessary to make repairs, and we are not to be accountable for such and we expect to be paid our normal rate.

TRAVEL: Above rates are quoted within a reasonable distance and no travel time is included in our fee. Should a job be outsitde our normal working distance a special fee may be charged.

TIME: Rates above are during normal working hours. Additional charges may be imposed for emergency, night time, late night or weekend calls.
