📉 Why Our Prices Stay Lower Than Most York Plumbers

Many plumbing companies advertise “$79 specials” that turn into $400–$700 bills after upsells.
We don’t operate that way.

We keep prices fair because:

  • No big-company overhead

  • No commissioned sales techs

  • No pressure tactics

  • No fake coupon pricing

  • Only the work you actually need

  • Night & weekend pricing stays reasonable

Our mission is simple: Fix your problem for a fair price—every time.


⚖️ What Affects the Final Price

  • Easy-to-access clean-out

  • Short distance to clog

  • Roots in the line

  • Clogs 50–100+ ft out

  • Old cast-iron with heavy scale
