Highway robbery,,, just had to have a drain snaked in my basement,, guy was here maybe 15 minutes COST= $159.00,,,,,told the dude that was extoration,,,,damn,,,hard to keep up these days. Told me that was the going rate for everyone around here.....

No tool rental places??

I had to use a 5/8" diameter motorized snake.....$40 bucks or so...it took longer to get the the damn thing in/out of the truck than the actual job.............

Home Depot or any place like them would have them and their probably as cheap tp rent as to buy. Certainly much cheaper that calling someone out and you will always have it on hand. I have a couple of manual ones for just thatreason. Nothing motorized but the do the job.

You shoulda asked here first - we could have talked you through it!

Did you at least get to see his buttcrack?

That's cheap
We had a little problem ourselves last year...
Cost me 250 "with out a receipt" (or 400 with)
But hey... it was 22.00 and the downstairs toilet and hallway were flooded after the wife took a shower

I all honesty... a guy who has the nerve to stick his arm down someone elses toilet bowl deserves a pay like that

cheers,
