Gabriel Hink

Thank you for once again helping get a rental back in service for a sewer or plumbing issue. Roto Rooter is always my first call for those issues. Today they repaired a frozen water line that broke underground in the crawl space. Lots of mud and yuck today. So glad to have water back on for the tenants. They were clear with the estimate, had an understanding of what needed to be done and kept it budget minded, especially when you have 2 plumbers on the clock. I hope I don’t have to ever call you again but with rentals it’s so nice to be able to when it’s needed. Thank you again for today and all the jobs in the past.

This was one of the worst plumbing service calls I’ve ever had. My basement toilet was backing up and multiple drains in the house were affected. The technician walked in, didn’t bother to turn on a single faucet, didn’t check water flow, and refused to snake the line. He did absolutely nothing to diagnose the problem. Instead, he brought in a filthy, uncovered plunger and used that as his “solution.” It was unsanitary, unprofessional, and completely inappropriate for the situation. Anyone with basic plumbing knowledge knows that multiple drains backing up means the main line needs to be properly checked — not plunged. Nothing was fixed, nothing was tested, and I was left with the same problem and even more frustration. I immediately had to request a different technician because this visit was a total waste of time. I would strongly advise avoiding this plumber!

Honestly fastest and most professional and nicest guys! I had no water heater for a month and finally bought one and the original person I scheduled couldn’t put it in because it was “out of his wheel house”. Called around and this company was like I’ll be out in 2 days and get you hot water by Christmas. They did it and worked with the weird set up we have in our house and I’ve had NO complaints since and hot showers!! Seriously best price and best skills

Scott Diebold was amazing! He went above and beyond to fix our clog issues. He was professional, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable. He quoted me a number and stuck to it. He found and fixed an issue I didn't even know I had in addition to the clog I knew about. I even learned something from this experience. I feel so blessed that he was sent here. Thank you so much!

We were very disappointed. They charge by the hour and, because the guy didn’t know what he was doing, the job lasted longer than it should have. He was gonna charge us $200 to remove the toilet when my husband said, “No, I’ll do it.” Do not recommend!

These guys will take care of all your plumbing needs! They are fast friendly reliable and affordable! I cannot recommend them enough! I had a young plumber help me with my clogged line today and he did such a great thorough job, even with 12” of snow he came out and got it done ✅! I wish I got his name but I didn’t so if you read this young man from Louisiana, keep up the good work you are amazing!

We have a 3-yr old —new home in Columbus. In June we had a whole house clog. Cotter came quickly and cleared it. It returned in August and because it was a weekend, I cleared it but I just knew it was still not clear. We called Cotter back, they came same day and cleared the clog but gave us bad news. These pipe coming out from the house is demolished and full of mud. These guys came the next day and hand dug up the pipe, replaced the pipe and then ran a camera through the whole house’s piping to see if there were other issues. I can’t thank them enough. They were dependable, fast and very thorough. I will always use Cotter for septic and clogs. Absolutely perfect service and fair prices

Mason and Micheal did a great job. In and out under 2hrs and the drain in our 75yr old house has never worked so well. Mason assured us he would get the drain flowing and he is man of his word. Thank you McKenzie for getting the guys out same day and following up to let us know when to expect them.

Horrible service. The guy that serviced our rental property did a horrid job leaving a hole in the wall and left the drain in the bathroom not functioning. He overcharged for 2 hours to replace a faucet which is rediculous. He also broke a personal property item of one of our renters. All in all, completely unprofessional and WAY over charged. Will never do business again with this company.

I’ve used midland mechanical/ Stevens brothers for over 10 years. They have always responded immediately and stood by their work! Their employees, from the office to the plumbers in the field have been outstanding. Today’s workers Peyton, Dustin, and Paul, once again did not disappoint me! Well done!!

Don't use these guys very unprofessional. I called about replacing a hot water heater and we set up an appointment so I could show them what all i needed. The day before the schedule appointment they called and asked if they can schedule for a week later I said sure. The day before the rescheduled appointment they called again and said they couldn't make it and asked if they could reschedule again for the next day, ok. The next day comes and they never showed up or even a phone call. If they didn't want the job they could have just said no we don't want to do it they could at least have the professional courtesy to call.

We had a plumbing emergency and needed help quickly. As a property management company, we usually have our go-to plumbers, but they were booked out, so I gave Archie’s a call. From the time I called to the time the job was completed was only about an hour and a half, and they were able to get everything working again! The staff and plumber were fantastic to work with. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and they were professional, responsive, and efficient. We will definitely be using them again!

High Caliber was very responsive from the first call. We had intermittent hot water issues. Matt came out the next day on a Friday, did a service & diagnostic. We were able to schedule repairs for Tuesday the following week. Matt showed up on time, got right to work, did a very thorough job; tested the water heater to be sure everything was working before he left. SUPER friendly, efficient & very thorough -- I am extremely happy with High Caliber & would recommend them to anyone & everyone.

Yeah for hot water!!!!!! Ron is an outstanding plumber and super efficient and knowledgeable. He was great about returning calls and texts and found a way to get both our boiler expansion tank and our Rinnai replaced within less than a week of us calling even with an upcoming Holiday. Ron, cleaned up after his project and was very thorough with explaining our needed maintenance and how to operate the new machine. I would highly recommend Ron and David from High Caliper as a local and trusted company.

Jason was professional yet personable. He came in asked a few questions and got right to work. He ran into a couple of hiccups but pivoted with well thought out solutions. He replaced the pipe and got things draining. He cleaned up after himself after he made sure that everything was good.

Jason did a great job. He is a very nice person. He was very thorough. He repaired a shut off valve that over the years no one was willing to do and made sure all of the other shut off valves actually worked and did not leak. Replaced two faucets and replaced everything in my two toilet tanks and fixed the leak in my kitchen sink. He

What a relief it is to have a nice water heater! My relief is thanks to Steve and his crew at Brown Plumbing. They came recommended to us and I'm happy we chose them. They showed up on short notice with a crew sufficient to get the job done in a timely and orderly fashion. This was an upgrade in size, so they had to be thoughtful and creative about placement, which I very much appreciated. They were also willing to address any questions or concerns I had. Thank you!

O’Neil Plumbing absolutely crushed it. From start to finish, they were on top of everything—quick to respond, right on time, and super professional. The work was done perfectly and way faster than I expected. You can tell they take pride in what they do. They explained everything in a way that actually made sense, didn’t try to upsell me on anything unnecessary, and left the place spotless when they were done. It’s hard to find contractors that are this reliable and easy to work with. Highly recommend O’Neil Plumbing — I won’t be calling anyone else.

Ken and Reno did an outstanding job installing our new hot water heater. From start to finish, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. They not only replaced the old unit and hauled it away, but they also rebuilt the venting system to ensure everything was done safely and correctly. What impressed us most was their commitment to our family’s safety — they took the extra time to make sure we were fully protected from carbon monoxide and that the installation met the highest standards. They didn’t just get the job done — they did it right. We are incredibly grateful for their thoroughness and highly recommend them to anyone needing quality, dependable work.

Verify Availability Before You Call

Professional Drain Cleaning in Billings

Dealing with a backed-up sink or a sluggish shower in the Magic City shouldn't be a guessing game. In Billings, where our water systems face everything from mineral buildup to the pressure of the Rimrocks' unique geology, local plumbing systems require specialized care. Finding a plumber who is actually available when you have an emergency is often the hardest part of the job. That’s where our unique verification service changes the game. Instead of you calling down a list of names and leaving voicemails, we scan our network of certified Billings plumbers and filter them by your specific zip code. Most importantly, we call them ourselves to confirm they can solve your drain issue today before we ever connect you. This ensures you get a professional who is ready to get to work immediately, saving you time and stress.

Common Drain Issues in Billings

Hard Water Mineral Scale: Billings residents often deal with hard water issues stemming from the Yellowstone River supply. Over time, calcium and magnesium deposits narrow your pipes, leading to chronic slow drains that require professional descaling or hydro-jetting to fully restore flow.

Root Intrusion in Historic Neighborhoods: In established areas like the North Side or the tree-lined streets near downtown, mature root systems can wreak havoc on sewer lines. These roots seek out moisture in older clay or cast-iron pipes, causing major blockages that usually require a professional snake or camera inspection.

Shifting Soils and Pipe Sag: The unique geological makeup around the Rimrocks can lead to soil shifting over time. This often causes 'bellies' or sags in underground drain lines where debris collects, eventually leading to a full backup that requires expert intervention.

Kitchen Grease and Cold Montana Winters: During our long, cold winters, grease poured down the drain solidifies much faster inside chilled pipes. This creates stubborn 'fatbergs' that can completely seal off a kitchen line, requiring professional-grade equipment to clear without damaging the plumbing.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Billings

Winter Freeze Prevention: Before the first deep freeze hits Billings, ensure all outdoor hoses are disconnected and shut off. Cold air can travel up the faucet and freeze internal drain lines, leading to cracks that only become apparent during the spring thaw.

Spring Snowmelt Prep: Billings sees significant runoff during the spring thaw. Ensure your floor drains and sump pumps are clear of debris to prevent basement flooding when the Yellowstone River water table rises.

Fall Leaf Management: Keep your outdoor area drains and gutters clear of fallen leaves. When these wash into your perimeter drains during a Montana rainstorm, they can cause significant clogs that are difficult to reach without professional tools.

Summer High-Usage Care: With more outdoor activities and guests during the summer months, your garbage disposal often works overtime. Avoid putting fibrous vegetables or rinds down the drain to prevent mid-summer backups during the busiest time of the year.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Billings

$175-$450

Pricing for drain cleaning in Billings typically depends on the severity of the clog and the equipment required (such as a basic snake vs. hydro-jetting). Emergency after-hours calls or holiday service in the MT area may result in higher labor rates.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Billings

How fast can I get a plumber in Billings using your service?

We prioritize speed by filtering for plumbers in your specific Billings zip code and personally calling them to verify they have a technician available for same-day dispatch before we even give you their information.

Do you service all areas of Billings, including the West End and Lockwood?

Yes, our network covers the entire Billings metro area, from the Heights to the West End, and even surrounding communities like Lockwood and Laurel.

Is hard water a common cause of drain issues in Billings?

Yes, we only work with certified plumbing professionals who are fully licensed and insured to operate within the state of Montana and the city of Billings.

We operate 24/7. Our verification process is especially helpful during extreme weather when many plumbers are booked; we do the legwork to find the one who is actually free to help you in the cold.
