"Aaronâ s was able to get out sooner than other local company I contacted. Technician Alex is knowledgeable and good at explaining the situation as we figured out the problem over 3 visits. This was during our 2022-2023 160-year series of rainstorms. My basement and garage were flooding and I could hear the sump pump wasnâ t running. Replaced sump pump after finding the correct size. Then it ran but still flooded. He came back, figured out drain was blocked and where. This 60 year old house has had many changes over the years, so that wasnâ t easy. Replaced old drain in cost-effective way. All the while he maintained a positive professional attitude. I will call them again, including for a bid when I redo laundry room service."

"I asked Trejo's Lanscaping to trim my bushes and to weed in the front and back, and he gave me a reasonable quote for the work. I also asked two other companies to give me quotes for the work. I added an extra project to replace the weed fabric and mulch on the parking strip around the front of my property with new weed fabric and medium-sized river rock. I hired Teejo's Lanscaping to do both jobs. Arturo and his two assistants arrived on time to work on the project. They got as far as removing the weed fabric and mulch and trimming the bushes along the side fence when it started to rain heavily. We agreed to stop work until the weather was better. I had to wait a week before he was able to come back. After laying down the new weed fabric, they carefully poured the rock around the established plants. Arturo trimmed the front plants and cleaned up the leaf litter under the plants. He and Pablo moved to the back to weed and to trim the bushes. I was happy with the appearance of the front and back yards and the cost . I will definitely hire him again in the future."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.  

If your drain doesn’t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.

DIY plunging or drain cleaning chemicals may help minor clogs, but professional hydro jetting ensures long-term solutions.

When you put baking soda and vinegar down the drain, they chemically react and help break down clogs. It’s not going to work for every type of clog, however. For example, it’s not the best way to get rid of grease buildup. For grease, you should try boiling water and white vinegar instead.

Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it’s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they’re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.
