“Chris Carr was absolutely amazing! My pipes had roots in them built up real bad and I was hoping we wouldn’t have to replace anything and him and his assistant and supervisor kicked ass and got my clean out taken care of and even gave us great tips to keep up on preventative care as well. He was very informative, fun to talk with and extremely personable, and even took care to clean up after the job super well! We’ll definitely be using them in the future!”

Chris Carr, Drain Diagnostic
“This was our second time using Five Star Home Care in Xenia, and they were just as great as the first. We had a clogged shower drain on a Sunday and were surprised to book an appointment that same morning! James Ashley, our technician, was professional, polite, and efficient. He cleared the drain, checked our pipes, and left the area spotless. Big thanks to Alexis for her help setting everything up. Highly recommend James and the Five Star team!”
— Susie Chaney
James Ashley, Drain Diagnostic
“Chris did an amazing job! Our system was badly backed up just days after our home warranty expired. He and two other techs worked nearly 10 hours yesterday and Chris returned today for two more. What should’ve cost nearly $1,000 was cut in half thanks to the team’s generosity—and Chris’s hard work likely saved us from an $8,000 repair. Reminder: stay on top of roots in your lines—they can get out of control fast!”
— Allyssa Benny, Drain Diagnostic
Chris Carr, Drain Diagnostic
