"I’ve had issues with my outdoor drain clogging. Alex helped me schedule an appointment and ensured me they would have the equipment to high power clean my drain. Sure enough the technicians showed up and were able to clear my drains same day. I’m very pleased with their great service!"

"We had our tankless water heater drained - annual maintenance. They show up when they say they will and do it right the first time. In the past we've had issues with AC's, plumbing and more. Evey time they've exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend them for any heating, AC or plumbing. We've used them for well over 20 years and wouldn't want anyone else. They are the best."

"Excellent service! We scheduled Plumbing Plus to replace the hot and cold cartridge's in a sink faucet and a tub pop-up drain and overflow gasket. Jared N. quickly assessed the problems. The faucet was so corroded with water deposits that it could not be dismantled to simply replace the hot and cold cartridge's. So Jared replaced the entire faucet with a high quality replacement. After the tub pop-up drain was replaced, Jared checked for leaks by looking in a 'trap door' in the ceiling below the tub that was left after the tub was replaced in an earlier remodel. Jared discovered that the entire tub drain was leaking and need to be replaced, which he did. He also corrected a problem with the drain pipe left from the previous remodel. Although the job was much more complex than expected, Jared was professional, efficient, and extremely cheerful throughout . We highly recommend Jared and Plumbing Plus"

"Great job. Anthony did a complete review of the house and the current venting and recommended the proper size for the AC. The installers and electricians came 3 days later, did additional wiring and piping and installed the entire system in 5 hours."

Hydro jet uses water at 4,000psi to clean the inside of the mainline drain which connects all the home's drains to the city's sewer system.
Using a snake we can go through the cleanouts on the side of the house.
With the cleanouts snaked, and the blockage located, we can send the hydro jet through the sewer vent and flush out the blocked drain.

"Have had ongoing plumbing issues in a house built in 1952 with help from a number of plumbers since buying this house in 2002. Of them all I feel best about Leo......He replaced a kitchen faucet, cleared the drain and replaced the air gap quickly and efficiently. Above all struck by his intelligence, common sense, fairness and very noticeable politeness. Would not hesitate to refer him to a friend."

"I hired this company to design my backyard landscape and they did a fantastic job. The designer was creative and came up with a beautiful plan that incorporated all of my ideas. The installation process was seamless and the team was professional and efficient. I now have a backyard that I can be proud of and enjoy all year round. I highly recommend this company for anyone looking to enhance their outdoor space."

"Pros: Prompt scheduling and on-time technician. Performed the service we purchased via special pricing on Angie's List. Helpful to know the status of capacitors and temperatures.
Cons: Technician, while friendly, inexperienced. Seemed to be recently trained to perform a few basic testing functions. While he showed me a leaking capacitor, he did not know the part was called a capacitor.
Here is my disappointment: The technician claimed we should replace two capacitors. Fine. The cost would be $250 each or $500 (this charge on top of our $90 service fee).  I just ordered both capacitors from Amazon at a total cost of $20.
He had the parts in the truck and his time to replace both parts would have been no longer then 30 minutes. I get it. MyPlumber doesn't make money on the $90 service call. They are entitled to charge for labor to install the parts. However a rate equivalent to $1,000 per hour was a little steep for me to accept.
Bottom line: they did what they said they were going to do. Inspect. A fair value in may opinion. I would be cautious, however,  agreeing to additional work.

"Had a slow drain for months and thought it was a clogged drain. I knew Mickey through an apprenticeship program and called him to take a look. Mickey was extremely thorough and found the issue quicker than most plumbers! While it turned out to be a failed sump pump and a much bigger job, Mickey got it done quickly and at a reasonable rate."

"Noe and his crew formed and paved a nice concrete sidewalk in the back of our house and took out an existing Chanel drain that ran along the front of the garage and replaced it with a larger drain, making it more effective. All in about a day and a half. He also did some extras that was really nice. Now we plan on using him again to build a staircase that runs along the side of the house and connects to that sidewalk . I highly recommend him to get the job done."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

A range of certified professionals can install French drains, from foundation specialists to plumbers. However, you’ll want to make sure that the professional has a breadth of experience installing the specific type of drain you need in or outside your home. Your contractor should also have experience with sump pumps, waterproofing, and flood-proof landscaping.

Preventing future basement flooding often involves installing sump pumps, improving drainage, sealing foundation cracks, and maintaining gutters. Costs vary, but preventive measures can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the solutions chosen. Investing in prevention can save you money on future flooded basement cleanup costs and repairs.

Your sump pump will discharge water through a discharge line or pipe. The discharge line should be placed at least 10–20 feet from the foundation to avoid any issues.

Yes, you can add a battery to your existing sump pump. There are batteries available that can be plugged into your existing system; however, most battery backups come as a complete system and act as a replacement for your existing sump pump.

Yes, many people choose to bury their sump pump discharge pipes. When you leave the pipe visible in your yard, you might trip over it or accidentally damage it with your lawn mower. Plus, from an aesthetic perspective, hiding the discharge line underground looks nicer than leaving it out in the open. Before burying a sump pump pipe, review your local building codes to make sure your installation is compliant.
