We had an utterly bad experiance with another company, (see my review of Rooter Plus to see what happened)!!! \t\nWhen I was exhausted and drained, I called Skyline to help us out. \t\nWhen the tech showed up, he was honest and respectable. He even helped us fix some botched work from the other company for FREE.\t\nWe spent a total of $300 with the other company when we fired them for asking for ANOTHER $460 to fix something apparently EXTREMELY easy to fix. Skyline charged us $195 to fix the remaining problem and told us that they don't upcharge for every little thing, explaining just how screwed we had been from Rooter Plus. \t\nRooter Plus baited us with a really low price (it didn't stay low for long). \t\nThe only complaint from Skyline is that when we called on Saturady morning originally, we got an answering service instead of an owner or tech. The lady couldn't answer our questions but said she would get someone to call back. That is why we didn't go with them in the first place. \t\nHowever, after Rooter Plus screwed us over we gave Skyline another call. \t\n\t\nI wish I had waited for that call back. ..... I will NEVER use another septic company again. The tech was so kind and honest, understood we were on a budget, and was fast and efficient. My husband was happy when he at the end of this experiance. \t\n\t\nI now proudly display thier magnet on our fridge! ...read more

I received a service call from a box store in Hiram that they were having a bad odor in the front of the store in the morning when the morning shift opened up. The manager told me that last time it happened they had another plumbing company come in and run a sewer cable in the piping all the way to the street to clean the drain piping of whatever was causing the smell. This didn't make any sense to me being the smell in the drain piping should never enter the store to begin with if the p-traps were full of water and the trap primers feeding the floor drains were working properly. I checked that the floor drains were full of water and that the p-traps under the lavatory sinks were functional. They were. I began checking other fixtures in the men's and women's bathroom and ask the manager had they noticed the smell more strongly in one bathroom or in some area of the store more than in other areas. The manager told me that the women's bathroom was always smelly. Now I was ready to get down and dirty and find this smelly problem. It didn't take but a second when I walked into the right hand toilet stall, seeing the brown staining around the bottom rim of the toilet indicating that water was leaking around the base every time the toilet was flushed. If water is present then a way of sewer gas escape is present also. I grabbed hold of the toilet to see if I could move or turn it in any way. It came right up off the floor. The flange was broke causing the toilet to move and twist every time someone sit on it. This movement caused the wax to work it's way out of the toilet base causing water and sewer gas to leak from the base of the toilet. I took up the toilet, cleaned the area well, installed a new toilet flange, applied a new wax ring and reset the toilet. Problem fixed. The store manager told me that other plumbers had tried to fix that toilet but never could get it right. I reaffirmed that the toilet had been the source of there morning smell being that the store had been closed all night allowing a build up of sewer gas to float with the positive air system to the front of the store trying to escape through the front door where the air pressure of the building was trying to push through to outside atmosphere.

I just implemented a new strategy to keep our service technicians busy during this economic slow down by having them do free customer home plumbing inspections. All the customer has to do is call in to Skyline Plumbing and Septic, Inc and ask for a free home plumbing inspection and we will send a tech out totally free of charge and inspect a customer's home for plumbing safety issues,water leaks and problems that may not be evident at the time that may show up while on vacation or while company is visiting. I had a customer call me out to inspect her home's plumbing. I hurried over. I began the inspection by asking about any problems she thought she might have or had a particular interest in me looking at. I checked for stopped up drains, leaking toilet ballcocks, house in-coming water pressure, rocking toilets but when I got to the water heater my mouth hit the floor at what I seen. The water heater was a natural gas water heater with a open flame burner. The vent for the fumes to escape up the vent and out of the house was not connected to the vent diverter at the top of the water heater allowing carbon dioxide fumes to escape into the atmosphere of the home bringing down the oxygen content of the entire home. The water heater was in a open closet in the kitchen area. I immediately told the customer of the danger. She replied, "Is that what is making my seven children act so crazy?" I told her that it sure wasn't helping the situation. I corrected the vent problem for her free of charge because of the immediate danger to the life of the family. She was very grateful and I felt that I had done a great deed, thankful that she had called me in for the inspection.
