I called Frank at Rooty Rooter, and he said he could come out the very next day. He originally said a hydro jetting would be $300, and I thought that was a good price. He arrived a little late due to a small medical emergency, but went right to work setting everything up. I showed him the drains and outlets, and explained what I thought might be going on, and he said he would snake first in case the blockage was more than just DE. After an hour, he was able to show me a HUGE amount of roots on the end of his snake. Well, there's the problem! He said for my best results, I should have all the exterior drains snaked before the hydro jetting, otherwise I would just be moving the dirt into the roots, and the plants would grow even more! He could do the snaking AND hydro jetting for $500, still a remarkably good price for a completely clean drain. After more than 5 hours of hard work, every single one of those pipes and drains was clear. He even got on his hands and knees and dug the dirt out of the drains that were in the side dirt areas! Then he got my "green" bin and scooped all the muck and leaves and roots into the bin, and put it away. He didn't break one of the 40 year old drain covers that he removed and put back. I could see the dirt and DE at the main to the gutter, so I knew that he got that cleared out. I was pleased with his hard work. He grinned the entire time, truly a man who enjoys his work and enjoys helping people, Today, the very next day, we got a decent rain storm, and I was very pleased to see that all the drains were working perfectly! We are ready for El Nino! I hope that he is still working in another decade when we'll want another snaking of those drains, and I sure will recommend him to anyone in this area who needs drain clearing!

I was offered a very good price to replace the outflow pipe from the problem sink drain and they also offered to credit the job with what I already paid for the original drain and leak. I was concerned about the other outflow pipes which would need to be tied into the new replaced pipe. As it turned out my fears were justified as once the new pipe was being installed the other ancient outflow pipes gave way. I was stuck with a job I couldn't afford. They were extremely understanding and we agreed at a price I could afford. The work was completed quickly and professionally.

French Drain Service reviews from real Angi homeowners in San Fernando, CA
Great response time. I had done all I could have done as a homeowner with basic tools and youtube tips and tricks to try but was getting nowhere. Efren got the clogged drain assessed and taken care of. Excellent service.

The 11 drains around our pool were notorious for draining slow, with 3 not draining at all. We thought spilled DE was the culprit with those 3, as they did not seem to be draining out to the street at all. A side downspout that also entered the main had been making a weird noise as well,...

FAQs for french drain service projects in San Fernando, 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.
