Called Cabrillo and they came out and cleared it again as a "customer courtesy" as clearing a drain is no guarantee that it won't immediately block again. I found that response insulting and will not be using their services again. Another plumber did manage to clear out the first drain, so I consider this visit a complete waste of my time and money.

A bit expensive, but that was worth it for the cleaning. The upselling was BAD It was about $150 to video tape the drain. Perhaps i have the pricing inverted, and it was 250 for the video tape and 150 for the drain. I do not recall. Anyhow, the recording was worth approximately zero dollars and zero cents. The day of the cleaning they gave me a rough estimate of $80,000 to fix the pipe. So, obviously I wanted to get a better estimate, even if i needed to pay for it. When they did the video of the pipe, they told me there were problems and they would give me an estimate. then the city came by, to let me know if the city was responsible for the pipe or if I was. The Roto-rooter guy took off. I paid him for the video, estimate, and for marking on the ground as to where the issues were. I got no estimate. I got not markings. a week later i received a DVD with the video tape with no explaination as to what was in the video, how much it would cost to fix or where the issues were. If you need an evacuation pipe drain cleaning, Roto-Rooter has the right tools for a 6" drain. I would just find a different company that has that same tool and call them instead.

I called in the morning, they came out and evaluated my plumbing problem-old galvanized washing machine drain that was corroded(50plus years old) and plugged. Gave me a fair price, came back in PM with parts, removed old pipe and replaced, we are back doing laundry!
My complaint was the water collected in the sink and was not quickly running down the pipe but would back up and drain very slowly. An hour later, he was done, billed me, and was on his way.

We called late on a Sunday afternoon and they sent someone out a couple of hours later. Our sink was completely clogged and the drain plug couldn't be reached from the outside of the house. The plumber (I apologize, it has been a few weeks and I can't remember his name) found the clog by...

Trying to do the old fashion way of unclogging a drain didn't work. Desperate to get the kitchen functioning again, I scheduled an appointment with Magic Plumbing, although they were busy, they did fit me in. They were responsive to my needs and like magic, the drain was cleared. Great service.

FAQs for french drain service projects in San Carlos, 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.
