The initial work was done by a mechanic that was incompitent, who overcharged me for using a machine that was never used. after cliaming that he snaked my sewer line, he stated that the city line was backed up from the outside and I would need the county to come out and clean the line. As it turns out the line was clear outside and the mechanic was wrong.

The original charge of $49.95, thus the name of the company, to the final cost of $225.00, as I see it is a rippoff. After my plummer that I hired opened the cap on the sewer line that the mechanic from Any sewer or drain $49.95 claim to have snaked and use a special hydro run machine on, that's when I knew that I better take pictures of the mess and debris in the line before they came back to do any further work.

I knew that something was wrong, because the cap was not removed prior to my plummer prying it open, and the evidence of all the debris at the mouth of the line that Any sewer or drain claim to have cleaned not even 12 hours later was proof enough that I was taken for a ride for $225.00.

After speaking to their manager he agreed to send out another worker and a supv, but only one worker with a helper came out, he snaked the line and informed me that he was authorized to refund me $50.00 for the work done. I told him I refuse to accept the $50.00 and I would not sign their second receipt. The manager said I should either accept the $50 or his mechanic will leave, that's when I told him that I will see him in court for the balance of $175.00 ($225-$50=$175).

1) This report seems full of errors. Even though i have had sewer problems i never paid anyone till the work was done.

2) This person states that he/she paid the worker for a machine that was never used. How the hell is that possible. If some stranger somes to your house to work and demands money that you think that you shouldn't be paying for, isn't it appropriate to atleast call the company directly or at the most dial 911.

3) When you get sewer work done in your house and the mechanic claims that he is working, even the dumbest person on earth would realize that this mechanic needs some sort of a machine to work with. How the hell are you let someone stay at your house while is not doing anything??????Dosen't make any sense at all.
