"Tried to rush three days of work into two days, didn't work. Still waiting for someone to return and seal the discharge pipes. Felt like they sent labor ready guys to do the job, I expected at least the foreman to be seasoned. Nevertheless the young men worked hard within their skill set. If you are thinking of outdoor gutter drains just get a landscaper to do it. Overall looking at the quality of the work, for the price I would of got the same service from a less expensive company."

"My roof had small leaks in three separate places. After an electric company energy audit, I wasn?t sure I had insulation in the tray sections of all of my ceilings ? it glowed red in the thermal pictures.  A hail storm destroyed my roofing and I needed a roofing company that did more than just replace a roof.  I went to Angie?s List and read reviews for more than two hours.  I
selected two companies that had the best reviews.  Brandon of Weather Proofing Experts agreed to meet the insurance adjuster at my house while I was at work.  The next day I met Brandon and got a thorough estimate of the damages to my house and separate garage.  It looked like everything was covered but I needed to show him my leak concerns.  I did not have to worry.  Without stepping inside my home, he knew my concerns without me telling him AND he flipped over to his handwritten notes and there it was: roof has two dead valleys that need to be altered to push the water forward and also there is no soldered flashing to protect that area.  Put a check mark beside two of my leaks.  The second leak was around a pipe boot that we had attempted to get another roofer to repair with no good result.  Brandon could take care of it. But he did more.  He put a different cap on my dryer vent to prevent lint build up and a future fire.  He made sure that my guttering drained and changed the drainage configuration to one that would not add to possible leaks on my roof valleys and I now have flashings that I should have had with the construction of the house.   Finally he moved the turbines on my roof to the proper location to vent my attic
better.  Four turbines ? two at the highest ridge and two at two lower ridges became three turbines on the highest ridge.  I did not know that the highest turbines would pull from the closest openings to them.  The closest openings happened to be the two
lower turbines so I was really getting little to no circulation/venting of the attic air space.  No wonder thermal pictures glowed red at the outer perimeter that really was insulated because Brandon had his crews take off decking and he took pictures to show me that insulation was there ? at no cost to me and I was willing to pay to have insulation put in there! I went with a solar hide to reflect more heat and with the turbines in the right place I have a much more energy efficient roof.  Brandon even made sure that every downspout was bird proofed.  The crews were very careful with my flower beds and at the end of each day I could not even tell they had been there.  Brandon was easy to work with and looked out for my welfare. 
The second company that gave me an estimate was a well recommended company and their dollar estimate was almost exactly the same as the Experts with one exception.  They did not mention dead spots, soldered flashing, gutters with downspouts in the wrong place or turbines that were turning and doing little else for my home.  Long story shortened ? I hired Weather Proofing
Experts to replace my roof and they did not just replace it.  I got a better roof.  This was the best experience I have had with
tradesmen in NWA.  Weather Proofing Experts really are experts with integrity and that is worth a lot.

"Duraplex specializes in moisture protection - primarily foundations and roofs. But, Travas also does related work and was always focused on customer satisfaction. If he knows how to fix something, he will help you. If he doesn't, he will help you find a referral. Travas is thorough in his work and a nice person to do business with. I would recommend his company to anyone who needs help with foundation or roofing needs."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.

Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.

To keep your toilet from clogging, you can use less toilet paper. You can also use a liquid toilet plunger to break up any clogs and keep the toilet drain and pipes clear. When it comes to a clogged toilet, the best route is prevention by using less toilet paper and making sure the mechanisms are all working properly.

Yes, pop-up drains commonly get clogged with hair, soap scum, and toothpaste. It is important to know how to properly clean the drain or get professional help to ensure it remains clear and can drain water effectively.

In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.

There are a few ways to unclog a toilet without a plunger. Break up the clog with homemade solutions containing soap, vinegar, and baking soda, or simply let hot water spend some time in the drain. You can also use a two-liter soda bottle filled with water to push pressurized water into the pipe to dislodge the debris (see the steps above).
