There are numerous drains that run throughout your home and business and when one ceases to function normally, it is usually not long before others start to malfunction as well, since they are all part of the same system. The main drains within a home or business are your kitchen sink, bathroom sink, toilet and floor drains. Contech Storm Filters work hard to remove more pollutants than most other brands.
This includes the removal of fine solids, soluble heavy metals, oil, and total nutrients. Columbia Drain is the local expert in providing maintenance on the Contech Storm filter product.

I have used Columbia Drain (Jim) since we bought our house in 2005 and he has been super helpful with our old waste lines. He has cleared and scoped the lines approx every 2-3 years and every time he shows us on camera and given a copy when requested. I have offered to help with his equipment going down the stairs and he never takes me up on it. He always cleans up after himself.
Other reviewers have complained about price and payment methods.you get what you pay for. Our waste lines are 78 years old and Jim has taken care of them and hasn't tried to upsell us in any way. Not that he does the plumbing side of it but he has referrals and offered them to us if we ever needed them. As for payment, he will take credit card but offers a discount for cash or check. I am a gen x'er so count me in on having cash;)

I have never experienced such a horrible person when contacting this company. He was rude and condescending and literally told me how dare I reach out to him on a holiday weekend. If you cannot deal with customers, regardless of the date, find a receptionist who knows how to speak to people with respect and dignity or maybe wait till your precious holiday weekend is over to return a phone call. I will not use this company again strictly based on how I was spoken to. I don't know who you are to the company but you should learn to speak to people like an adult.

Technician was friendly and expedient. Cost was way out of line compared to other services I've received from other providers. $350 to snake 5' of drain is outrageous. I checked my security camera and a total of 24 minutes elapsed between arrival and departure. Even considering a $150 trip charge (hypothetical as it's not outlined on their bill, there's simply a $350 line item) that leaves $200 for 24 minutes worth of work. $200/hr plus a trip charge seems excessive, I guess I'll start getting bids on even the smaller jobs from now on.

This business damaged my vehicle while its commercial truck drove partially in the emergency lane on 205 north. I called the company spoke with Jim who told me to have my insurance company call their office and they would take care of it. Well guess what they refused to help. Good thing I got the plate # so my insurance can get the insurance information that way. I tried to get the drivers attention to pull over but he wouldn't.

I've had two experiences with these folks, one great and one awful. The first time was just as you'd expect; prompt, professional and reasonable. The second time, we started calling and emailing last November and only just recently got someone out, several MONTHS later. I'm fine with someone being overbooked, but to just be ignored or lead-on really sucks, especially when you're a repeat customer. We won't use them again.

Columbia Drain Co. is a locally (Vancouver, WA) owned and operated sewer and drain servicing company. That means they specialize in cleaning clogged drains and sewers. They're great if you need a plumber for a stopped up drain, but they aren't plumbing contractors. Jim, the owner, is committed to total customer satisfaction. He has a very simple guarantee, "If you are not truly happy with the service that you have received, let us know. We will either credit your account or refund your money". Columbia Drain Co. serves both Vancouver, Washington and Portland, Oregon.
