  Wallys son came out and jetted my blocked sewer lines, he was great. He came in and immediately started work, explained what he was going to ( even taught me a few things I was unfamiliar with)and even cleaned up everything when he was done. I was quoted 250 to jet the pipes (with a two HR time limit),and that's all it cost. I would highly recommend Wallys, I know my entire family won't use anyone else.

  Public Service Announcement: Never use Wally's Drain Cleaning service. I, like many other Hibbing residents experienced flooding due to heavy rains a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, my regular plumber was injured and unable to attend to my issue in a timely manner. I needed to get my issue resolved as soon as possible and Wally was the only plumber who wasn't booked (I found out why after the fact). Wally and his son came to my home and spent the next 3- hours fumbling around to determine which way the drain was pointing; breaking caps off of my water line; and tracking water throughout the main level of my home. After 3- hours of taking breaks and cutting all of the pipes in my basement Wally apparently had an epiphany. Wally informed me that I had a collapsed drain or roots in my line and that it would cost between 7k-10k to fix and that I was f!@#$÷. But wait, it gets better. Wally never stuck a camera in the drain to validate his "hunch" and he told me to start jack hammering the floor in my basement. Anyone who knows me is well aware that I am not handy and lack common sense. However, my spider senses kicked in and I luckily reached out to friends who were able to direct me to other plumbers. I placed several calls to other plumbers and explained my situation. Not surprisingly, every single plumber I spoke with indicated that they routinely follow Wally around town to fix sub-par work or to correct a complete misdiagnosis. Now, I'm not sure if Wally is a conartist or completely incompetent - either way he does not deserve any business and should be embarrassed of his work/reputation around town. I confronted Wally on the phone and gave him multiple opportunities to do what was right and he chose not to. I had to pay double the cost to fix my problem. Although I do not own a business, my assumption would be that the $250 he got today will pale in comparison to the amount of business he will lose from word of mouth. One of the downfalls/benefits of living in a small town is that word spreads like wildfire. However, I do have an updated marketing slogan for Wally's Drain Cleaning: "Want to throw your money down the drain? Call Wally's Drain Service" I am all for supporting local businesses, however, the level of incompetence and refusal to do what is right should be shared. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE

  For those with long septic lines (over 150 feet), Wally is the only option. After others couldnt resolve the drain blockage, Wally fit me in during weather emergencies for others. Thanks! I will definitely use him again.
