It was some 20ish year old kid, they had just hired. They used a machine that is just slightly too expensive and too large to store so I don't have my own.
The same service used to cost $200-300 about 5 years ago. They advertise it at about $70/hr but then charge the 4 hour minimum, transportation cost, setup fees, emergency fees, etc...They have total availability but consider anything within 3 days an emergency. So if anyone plans ahead a week to have their drain back up I guess it's not an emergency?
As stated, they didn't even properly clear the line, and I had to have another company come in a month later.
