"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."

"We returned from vacation to find pools of water in the front yard caused by a major leak(s) in the water line encased in the attached garage slab. Angie responded right away with plumbing recommendations. We ultimately chose Major League Plumbing who came out the same day and made the assessment. Our house structure allowed them to bypass the leak(s) by rerouting the pipes to the first and second floors in one day thus saving us a ton of money in time, materials, and labor. Michael, the owner, was extremely pleasant and efficient. We certainly appreciate his creative solution and would definitely recommend the company and use them again for our plumbing needs."

"He got here quickly and had to disconnect the home's entire water system to stop any flooding. Then he disconnected the existing water spout in my greenhouse and connected the new water spout. It works great now and it took him only approximately 15 minutes to do it all. Thanks for your quick response."

"Gabriel Nieto was like a breath of fresh air compared to my previous experiences with plumbers. He was personable and friendly , he arrived on time and worked efficiently and quickly. The money he charged for his service was reasonable. He was very knowledgeable about his trade and took the time to explain to me what needed to be done and why. Thanks to him I have a great new water efficient toilet .Gone is my old problem ridden toilet and bad memories of using a plunger. I am sleeping better at night again! Gabriel is definitely now my go to pro I will call when I have another plumbing repair or replacement."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

A liquid drain cleaner can sometimes make a clog worse over time if you use it improperly or too much. The chemicals in drain cleaners can corrode and damage pipes, causing cracks and leaks that may cause further blockages. If the clog is more than the liquid drain cleaner can handle, the cleaner will simply add chemicals to a bigger overall problem.

You can try several easy methods to unclog a drain, one of the easiest and most effective of which is to use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. This will help dislodge and dissolve the clog to move it down the drain pipes. Pour 1/2 cup baking soda into the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Dump several cups of boiling water (or hot water if you have PVC pipes) into the drain and let sit for up to one hour. Run hot water to clear the drain.

Yes, chemical drain cleaners contain sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, both of which are not only dangerous to your health but also extremely caustic. Drain cleaners will corrode your pipes and could lead to destroyed drain lines, especially if the chemicals interact with the piping for long periods. Unfortunately, this extended interaction is likely if you’re dealing with a clog, as the drain cleaner will have just as much trouble as water does moving through your plumbing system.

As a general rule of thumb, it’s best to clean your linear drain every two to three months to prevent debris buildup. However, if you notice it draining slowly or an odor from your drainpipes, it’s best to clear the clogged drain and maintain it more often. If you let a clog go for too long, you may have to invest in the price of professional shower drain cleaning, which costs about $225.

To clean gunk out of a sink drain, pour in a half cup of baking soda, then 1 cup of white vinegar. The two will react chemically; let them fizz for 15 minutes, then rinse with boiling water. Repeat these steps if necessary for particularly dirty sink drains, and consider a drain snake if there are clogs.
