"Ryan was perfectly on-time and was a plumbing scholar and a gentleman. We had a simple drain replacement under a new sink. Going to Western saved me at least another day of trying to figure out proper parts and doing the install myself, and it also saved my wife's ears from hearing my salty language."

"Conrad was so helpful and honest and thorough. He gave me a true assessment of my current system, what needed to be done to fix it, and didn't try to upsell me on any expensive repairs or new installations. Would recommend them to anyone."

"Alan came out same day within couple of hours to clear a clogged bathtub drain. Worked on it for some time, went above and beyond to get it drained but no luck' House is 50 + years old with cast iron pipes so I was not surprised when he said ones under the tub needed to be replaced. Had been giving us trouble for several years and had been getting worse. He wrote a proposal and said he could do the next day as it was too late to start that day. James the owner showed up early next morning and went over what needed to be done. Gave a fair price and Alan showed up hr or so later and got started. Worked all day bless his heart. Got drain running smoothly. It's been about 2 weeks and all still going great. Have had a number of plumbing jobs done in the past by different companies but James Degennaro was by far the best. Both he and Alan were great and professional and did great work and clean up. .Would absolutely hire again and recommend . So glad I found them. Will need more pipes replaced in future so will be keeping them in the phone book. Patricia C. in Garden Grove, Ca."

"Parker was great. Installation was very well done and looks great. Clean up was very good. Bill Metzger Plumbing arrived when promised. Responded to phone calls promptly and were extremely professional. I had the unfortunate experience of call some competitors who never showed up for an appointment and we recommended by the manufacturer. Wish I had called Bill Metzger Plumbing first."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Anthony Fankhauser from Rooter Er & Plumbing, and I can confidently say that he is the most professional plumber I have ever encountered. Our search for a reliable plumber began about six weeks ago when Anthony came over to provide us with a free estimate for some work needed in our home. From the start, he impressed us with his prompt response to our request on Angie's List, arriving the same day and offering valuable tips to make our shower remodel efficient and cost-effective. Throughout our interactions with various plumbers, Anthony stood out by taking the time to truly understand our needs and how he could assist us best. Despite the initial consultation not resulting in immediate work, Anthony remained responsive and proactive. Fast forward six weeks, and he was once again quick to reply, reaffirming our confidence in his professionalism. On the day of the job, Anthony arrived on time and efficiently installed our new shower faucet, recommended the best option for our budget, and set the drain in record time, coordinating seamlessly with another contractor working on the floor. Not only did he go above and beyond by addressing additional plumbing issues in our home, such as resealing a leaking toilet tank and replacing faucets, but he also made trips to Home Depot on our behalf without any extra charge. Anthony's dedication to meeting our needs, even outside regular working hours, sets him apart from other contractors we've worked with during our home remodeling project. His attention to detail, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to quality work make him a standout professional in his field. I am typically critical when it comes to service providers, but I cannot fault Anthony in any way. His integrity, work ethic, and genuine care for his clients make him a truly exceptional plumber. If you are in need of a reliable plumber, I highly recommend reaching out to Anthony Fankhauser at Rooter Er & Plumbing. Whether you are in South County or in areas like Marietta, you can trust that you will receive top-notch service and expertise. Thank you, Anthony, for your outstanding work and for exceeding our expectations."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

There are a few possible sump pump drainage locations, including a neighborhood storm drain, into a creek or pond, or underground. Don’t let your sump pump water go into your sewer or septic system. Ideally, your drainage spot should be on a downhill slope that’s at least 10 to 20 feet away from your home’s foundation. Before choosing a location, check your local codes and regulations.

A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.

Yes, the air from a damp basement can travel up into your living area through a process called the stack effect, so moisture, mold spores, and other debris in your basement air can all decrease your indoor air quality on your main floors. Additionally, damp basements can promote the rotting of building materials, which can damage flooring, insulation, and framing on your first floor in addition to materials in the basement.

Since basements are prone to water and moisture issues and the resulting problems can be expensive to repair and potentially damaging to your home, basement waterproofing is almost always worthwhile. Even for homes that haven’t experienced water infiltration, waterproofing the basement is insurance against facing expensive repair bills in the future. All basements will leak at some point, so fixing drainage issues and taking steps to prevent moisture and water infiltration is wise.

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.
