"Hire them! Paul came out his with his partner and gave me the lowest quote I could find to hydro jet my area drain in my concrete driveway! Not only that, they came first thing in the morning like I wanted them to, saw the problem, cleared the drains out, and the cleaned up after themselves. They are true professionals who don’t give up on a job and make sure you get the problem 100% fixed. I would definitely recommend them for any hydrojetting service you may need."

"They came out the same day on a Friday evening! I was very grateful that I wouldn't have to wait all weekend without being able to use the shower! The plumber, John, was very professional and patient. He had to wrangle a very stubborn kids toy from our drain."

"Great customer service from Ec plumbing, they showed up on time and was ready to work. I also had a problem in one of my bathrooms with my toilet running when flushed and it turned out I needed a new flapper. Eric and his brother started at 1pm and was done by 2:30pm which included clean up. Eric will give you a honest price. I will use them again."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

You should inspect and clean your French drain at least once per year to keep it in good working order. Regular maintenance can help identify clogs, buildup, and damage before they become bigger problems, which increases the lifespan of your drain. The frequency with which a drain clogs can depend on factors like the amount of debris, the quality of the installation, and the type of filter used. If your drain accumulates a lot of sediment, it may require more frequent cleaning. It's also a good practice to check the access and exit points after heavy storms. If you notice reduced drainage or any signs of a clog, clean the drain as soon as possible.

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

  • Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel

  • Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain

  • Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes

  • Open the drain

  • Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.

The drain pump will naturally make a standard operational and draining sound several times throughout your dishwasher cycle. If you hear abnormally loud sounds like scraping, grinding, or clicking, you may have food debris or a piece of glass stuck in your drain filter. Avoid dishwasher repair by always scraping food off your dishes and loading the racks correctly.

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.
