I was surprised and excited he said he could come the next day between 3-4 pm. Well, I waited till 4:30 pm and no Carmen. I called him to see if he was still coming out to give me an estimate. He replied he was busy at another job, but he could come out the next day, Sunday morning. I suggested 10 am, but he said 9 am was better for him. I said okay. He even stated that if he got held up, he would call and let me know. That was the last I heard from him. Sunday morning, no show, no call. How unprofessional!!! And he wasted 3 hours of my life. I will never recommend him to anyone.

Prior to putting a pool in our back yard, we needed a plot map in order to know how and where to avoid our septic tank and leach field. I had been working with another company (unnamed) but kept being put off as my job was smaller. I finally got fed up and called Chico Septic at the suggestion of a friend whom had already had a good experience with the company. I called explaining the dilemma I was in as the excavator wanted to start but needed the plot map in order to start. Chico Septic told me they could either do it the same day or on the Monday following. I jumped at the same day offer and they were out working within an hour. So the company's responsiveness was impressive to me. They did their job and actually worked with the diggers coordinating the excavation location. After collecting the needed information for the plot map they determined that my tank was desperately in need of being drained (or whatever verb it is they do!) Turns out had we gone on much longer in the current path our leach field would have been ruined. They drained the tank and covered up the holes they'd made allowing for the excavators to do their work. We're now enjoying our pool and in part, thank Chico Septic for their contribution.

Ace did multiple drain clearings, drip repairs, replacement of a bathtub drain line, a garbage disposer and shower faucets. Work would be rated a full 5 except one item required a return visit. Juan manages his crew well and quickly returns calls. Over-all a good experience.
They looked at my pipes coming out of my drains because I had some smell coming from it. My overall experience with them was okay.

"Saul poured a sidewalk and while the concrete work is good they left it unfinished. I have two holes now that need to be closed and cannot reach Saul, the owner. I also hired him to repair existing sprinklers and he left it unfinished. I paid him for services with the understanding that he would come after the weekend to finish the job and he hasn't been back. That was a month ago. Or close to it. I've called and texted him. He says he will come then doesn't. Never calls to explain why. Or when he'll be back."

"Check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Yelp!!
Paid $1700 to unclog the main sewer line, then was ignored when trying to contact them.
Mike showed up and got sewer line flowing, but as this was a recurring problem, I asked them to diagnose the damage for a full repair quote. They sent a camera to see the damage, but it did not go far, so they started hydro jetting to clear the obstruction which would allow the camera to go further. The hydro jet stopped at the same spot as the camera and I was charged $1700 for it. Quoted over $12000 to do the rest of the work.
Ultimately, no additional information other than something is blocking it and we can not see what it is. It is going to cost $12k to get down and fix it. Your bill is $1700 for what we tried to do
I called to get a partial refund as the check was cashed immediately, only to be ignored from that point on. I checked Yelp, BBB, and got a second opinion. I was charged 9 times what the work was worth."

FAQs for french drain service projects in Orland, CA
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
