Drain Cleaning
Dirt, grease and debris can accumulate in your drain lines over time and are the main causes of drain blockage. It is important to have your drain cleaned frequently to prevent messy back-ups into your drains or sewer lines. Drain cleaner chemicals can be harsh on the sewer and septic systems but there is another alternative.
Whether it’s a toilet plug or bathroom sink clog that you need cleared or an annual drain cleaning/ inspection we can handle the job. Cleaning drains is a big part of our business. Our drain line cleaning service utilizes high-pressure water jets to clear clogged drain lines by penetrating and emulsifying grease, breaking up sludge and debris, pulverizing roots, cutting out hardened scale and flushing out the system, leaving lines clear.

Ray was great. Replaced water heater in no time. Professional and friendly. Invitation homes should always use these guys.
SO thankful for Ray/MyPhD Services. They had a massive job to come in and clean up a major plumbing mess caused by a different company who completely left us hanging without water and messed up pipes for 2 days. Ray immediately assessed the situation and put together a game plan to ensure we got our pipe situation figured out for the water to the whole house. On top of it, came back to fix our original issue (hose bib) that was improperly installed the next day. Saved me from a personal meltdown from this big mess! Thanks again - I appreciate you guys!!
Don't waste Your time... it's the little things... attention to detail goes a long way considering what they charging now a days... Besides there is other options... Don't cheat Your self or settle...
Never have my family and I been treated so wrong! Plumber showed up as scheduled, when ask to put on boot or slip covers he didn't have any, as we passed my husband and children still sleeping in bed he proceeds to make comments to my 6 yr old daughter and also assumes she's Spanish and starts making comments towards her, husband ask him why would He make or say comments towards her especially assuming she's Spanish, he then proceeds to say good luck with your mess and glad your sh$t is clogged! Wow oh wow... never had someone act like that! Gets in to his work truck and blares His horn for the world to see just causing havoc for the neighbors to see! We have it all on video inside and outside recordings!
We have used this company three times in the last two years. When we first moved in we needed them to replace an outside faucet change out our kitchen faucet. Ray did a great job, was very professional and didn't cha he an arm and a leg. Then about 6 weeks ago our hot water tank went out. Jason was here the next day and had it changed out by that afternoon. Still a great service and reasonably priced. Then a week ago our washer stopped working. (All old appliances :). We had him come out to replace the shut off valves. He gave us options for the parts. Then did the job. Jason is our plumber!!!
So this summer I had the unpleasant experience of calling the company back since it appears they did allegedly unpermitted work and the only reason I know this is because I had a basement remodel under permit and the inspector said it was not a permitted install or they had no record. So this summer, I called and spoke to Jenny who I asked if they could give me copies of the permits since this is delaying the job on my house. She told me that the 'owner' was in Mexico and nothing could be done until he returned. I called many other times after that but my voicemails went unreturned. Man, don't you hate being ignored? It's like the easiest way to ensure a small situation gets worse is to just ignore it. Some communication to say, hey, it's possible we didn't get a permit but if you can get maybe pay the inspection fee and have them sign off on it, we can reimburse you? Yeah, that would have been fine, but they chose to instead do the following: Today I decided to give them a last chance after having another boiler tech in my home Yesterday. The house was frigid during the coldest months of winter thus far. NO heat in the farthest part of the house which is where the bedrooms are. I called Bob Larsen plumbing (been amazing so far) and for $320 they showed me that they never installed the circulation pump properly. It wasn't even wired properly for the system to give it power and the controller was changed from the default of "circulation pump installed" to "no circulation pump" meaning for the last year and half my system has not circulated hot water through my house as it should when the boiler was on. Just by the hot water 'rising' up the pipes alone. The machine would heat and power off, heat and power off. No wonder my gas bills have been $150! It seems like the tech from this company disabled it since I was complaining about how hot the house was getting but i'll never know SINCE NOBODY CALLED ME BACK. All I really was trying to do was make sure the system worked right since this was my first experience in a home with a boiler. Well, before calling I did talk to the state of Washington. They seem to think they did not have a license for the scope of services they performed. This makes sense as to why they may not have put in a permit: they may not be licensed to perform the work they installed. I'll never know because Jenny hung up on me while asking them how they wanted to handle the situation. Her justification for me not getting calls back was that "i was not their customer". What she means is I did not 'pay' for the services. Well, when their money was in escrow, the "owner" of My PHD sure seemed willing to talk with me at great length and even told me they hadn't been paid yet until the sale completes. She offered to send him a message and if he felt like calling me back, he would. I did threaten to involve the city or state in an effort to get them to do the right thing and that's when she brought up this review including words like 'slander'. Except Slander is when events were untrue. All I state here is factual and happened. Bob Larsen also alleges that the way the system was installed will put more stress on the boiler (for a reason I don't remember) and my boiler won't last as long. I have no way of knowing if this is true or if Bob Larsen was just trying to gain my trust but I did watch him do everything and know that the circulation pump was not right. Once it was connected, RIGHT AWAY you could hear the system circulating through and some air coming out of the bleeder valve after being pushed through the return. the circulation pump was vibrating, silently which is it's expected function. So, for Jenny, You say that I'm not your customer yet your people have been in my home? It should carry some sort of guarantee of defect for a time, regardless of if I paid for it or not or you expect me to hire someone else to fix a new install? What a joke. You were paid a permit fee, shown on the invoice, and you did not submit a permit. If you did, I would have copies of it and be able to send the city on it's way. Believe it or not, I AM your customer because you carry a responsibility for the work you do. Hanging up on my just shows that your business does not know how to (or care to) deal with even minor issues and prefers to just ignore me. The cheapest remedy would have been to work with me. Communication is free. So for anyone doing business with these guys: if you are homeowner and plan on selling your home or have additional permitted work done in the future, make sure they get permits and have it inspected. See the actual permit and sign off from the inspector. You could find yourself in a situation where the buyer of your home comes to put a claim against you because when they called the boiler company they told them to kick rocks, ignored their calls and just felt like they didn't have to deal with the issue so now you have a claim because they could not do the right thing.
Jason is not reliable and thrust worthy technician. I would never recommend him to anyone. He came in to my place to fix my boiler a few months ago then when I asked him again to fix it the second time because it was causing the same issues as before he never showed up. He promised to me that he'll come, I called and texted him few times but he never showed up. I understand that being busy could be a factor here but why he gives false promises to people. I should have listen to my neighbors when they said that he's not thrust-worthy individual. I guess he did a "good" service to other people" from what I've heard.
Professional, friendly and safe/ masked service during COVID. Jason was extremely knowledgeable and on time.
My water heater of 17 years failed the evening of 5/9/16. I contacted American Home Shield at 1700 hours and they said "Jason" would contact me that evening. To say the least I was dubious, but to my delight Jason did call and said that Ray would be at our house in Kent between 0900 - 1100 hours. Ray was on time and ready to go to work at 0900. Ray assessed the problem (water heater was beyond repair) explained what was required to bring the installation up to code, pricing and left to obtain a new one. Back in an hour he went to work. Ray is amenable, knowledgeable, and hardworking. My water heater was removed, replaced and heating water with-in 1.75 hours. Ray then took the time to clean-up after himself and explained the nuances of our new equipment. GREAT JOB RAY AND THANKS FOR A JOB WELL DONE!
My sewer tank was overflowing so I called another outfit to come out and look at it and they automatically claimed to know what the issue was and said it would be $4000k to fix. I didn't believe them so I called My PHD Services based on the other reviews I read. Ray came out and walked me through all the various troubleshooting options the problem could be. He was patient and a pleasure to speak with. He found the issue and came back the next day to fix it. Ray was very informative and even taught me a few plumbing tricks. Their cost was a lot less than the other outfits quote and I'll be sure to use My PHD Services for all my plumbing needs going forward. The other reviews are accurate. Thanks Ray and Jason!
We just had a plumber named Ray from PhD Services visit our house. He was personable, helpful and knowledgable. He quickly identified our problem and gave us the tools to fix it without charge. Are you kidding me? This guy is great. We will always call My PhD Services for all of our plumbing needs.

AT&T says a data breach leaked millions of customers’ information online. Were you affected?
FILE - The sign in front of an AT&T retail store is seen in Miami, July 18, 2019. The theft of sensitive information belonging to millions of AT&T’s current and former customers has been recently discovered online, the telecommunications giant said Saturday, March 30, 2024. In an announcement addressing the data breach, AT&T said that a dataset found on the dark web contains information including some Social Security numbers and passcodes for about 7.6 million current account holders and 65.4 million former account holders.

NEW YORK (AP) — The theft of sensitive information belonging to millions of AT&T’s current and former customers has been recently discovered online, the telecommunications giant said this weekend.
In a Saturday announcement addressing the data breach, AT&T said that a dataset found on the “dark web” contains information including some Social Security numbers and passcodes for about 7.6 million current account holders and 65.4 million former account holders.
Whether the data “originated from AT&T or one of its vendors” is still unknown, the Dallas-based company noted — adding that it had launched an investigation into the incident. AT&T has also begun notifying customers whose personal information was compromised.
Here’s what you need to know.
WHAT INFORMATION WAS COMPROMISED IN THIS BREACH?
Although varying by each customer and account, AT&T says that information involved in this breach included Social Security numbers and passcodes — which, unlike passwords, are numerical PINS that are typically four digits long.
Full names, email addresses, mailing address, phone numbers, dates of birth and AT&T account numbers may have also been compromised. The impacted data is from 2019 or earlier and does not appear to include financial information or call history, the company said.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I WAS AFFECTED?
Consumers impacted by this breach should be receiving an email or letter directly from AT&T about the incident. The email notices began going out on Saturday, an AT&T spokesperson confirmed to The Associated Press.
WHAT ACTION HAS AT&T TAKEN?
Beyond these notifications, AT&T said that it had already reset the passcodes of current users. The company added that it would pay for credit monitoring services where applicable.
AT&T also said that it “launched a robust investigation” with internal and external cybersecurity experts to investigate the situation further.
HAS AT&T SEEN DATA BREACHES LIKE THIS BEFORE?
AT&T has seen several data breaches that range in size and impact over the years .
While the company says the data in this latest breach surfaced on a hacking forum nearly two weeks ago, it closely resembles a similar breach that surfaced in 2021 but which AT&T never acknowledged, cybersecurity researcher Troy Hunt told the AP Saturday.
“If they assess this and they made the wrong call on it, and we’ve had a course of years pass without them being able to notify impacted customers,” then it’s likely the company will soon face class action lawsuits, said Hunt, founder of an Australia-based website that warns people when their personal information has been exposed.
A spokesperson for AT&T declined to comment further when asked about these similarities Sunday.
HOW CAN I PROTECT MYSELF GOING FORWARD?
Avoiding data breaches entirely can be tricky in our ever-digitized world, but consumers can take some steps to help protect themselves going forward.
The basics include creating hard-to-guess passwords and using multifactor authentication when possible. If you receive a notice about a breach, it’s good idea to change your password and monitor account activity for any suspicious transactions. You’ll also want to visit a company’s official website for reliable contact information — as scammers sometimes try to take advantage of news like data breaches to gain your trust through look-alike phishing emails or phone calls.
In addition, the Federal Trade Commission notes that nationwide credit bureaus — such as Equifax, Experian and TransUnion — offer free credit freezes and fraud alerts that consumers can set up to help protect themselves from identity theft and other malicious activity.
