Twenty-Five Years Under Vermont Houses
J & M Everything Drains is John Haire, working out of Fairview Street in Barre, Washington County. Twenty-five years in the trade, all of it in Vermont: service technician work, a pump truck, jetting, camera and locating. Everything to do with drains, as he puts it.
Most people call on the worst morning they have had in a while. Something has backed up, there is water where there should not be, and no one in the house understands why. That is the part worth explaining, because a customer who knows what went wrong can make a decision instead of agreeing to whatever they are told.
It is one van and one person. You talk to John on the phone, John comes to the door, and John does the work, so no one shows up cold to a job they have not heard about.

Explain First, Then Fix
John put it this way on his questionnaire, and it is a better statement of the business than anything we could write for him:
“We have compassion and understanding for our customers when things go wrong and they need help with their biggest asset, their home or business, and it's not typically of their understanding why, but we will take care of them fully, start to finish.”
In practice that means telling you what he found in plain terms, telling you what it will cost before starting, and telling you when the answer is that it does not need doing yet. No one gets sold a jetting job that a cable would have fixed.

Central Vermont, From a Base in Barre
The shop is in Barre and the work runs across the Barre and Montpelier corridor and the towns around it: Barre, Montpelier, Berlin, Northfield, Williamstown, Waterbury. Weekday hours are 8 to 4, and the same number reaches John outside them.
An emergency line is only worth having if the person answering it is twenty minutes away, and from Fairview Street most of Washington County is.

Twenty-five years and more, all of it in Vermont. Service technician work, pump truck, jetting, camera and locating. Everything to do with drains, in John's words.
Are you insured?
Fully insured, with proof available before any work starts. Jet pre-treatment certified as well.
Do you do residential or commercial?
Both. Household drains and septic systems, and commercial work, including kitchen grease lines that want jetting on a schedule rather than a cable every few months.
