We have dealt with several plumbers as homeowners and they were professional, competent and efficient. The owner seemed very down to earth - he just came in with his worker and they got right to work. My wife just did a cold call to the office yesterday since we were in a bind and they were at our house first thing this morning. She found them by looking at the BBB ratings. Would definitely recommend for drain cleaning and would have them back for any future requirements (except we are moving)

Our upstairs toilet was leaking into the bathroom downstairs whenever we flushed the toilet. We also had a long term and chronic problem of a tub that would not drain even after several rootings. Lewis made a prompt visit to assess the problem and arrived the next day to start the job. Ceiling and wall plaster downstairs had to be removed to get to the problems and determine what parts and tools were needed. This took up most of the first day. Lewis arrived early the second day prepared to make the repairs. The old iron drain line from the tube was cut out and replaced with new pvc (?) pipe. The tub drain line was a different issue. Lewis was able to determine that the tub drain line did not go to the sewer line that left the house. Instead the tub drain line went directly to a long ago and disconnected septic tank. The tank had been disconnected and filled with sand when sewer lines were placed in the neighborhood years ago. No wonder it never drained correctly. The Lewis plumber had to use some creative solutions to reroute the drain as he was working in confined space between the floor above and the ceiling below and routing around floor joists and heating ducts. All the time the Lewis plumber let me know what his plans were and asked for my approval. Plans changed a couple of times and by the end of the second day he was finished. Overall the job was well done by a very competent young man who maintain a positive attitude with a sometimes difficult situation. Upon completion Lewis Plumbing recommended a firm that could repair the holes in the ceiling and wall. Now we are back to normal or even beter. Since I don't use plumbers frequently I don't know if the price is more or less that the market value. It seemed a little high to me but I am not complaining as the quality and timeliness of the work was excellent.

This was to be a french drainage system. This job went terribly wrong. He took my money and had another big job so he ended put me on the back burner. I was constantly looked over and always had different excuses. He states that in july the drainage is 85% done but that was not the case and other professionals highly disagreed and expressed that I should not pay any more money till the job is complete. I have had other contractors out for other reasons and they were explaining to me that this work is not to par and that I was being over charged. He had a very large ditch dug around the north face of my home which we had to step or jump over to get access to 5 entry ways, and I had to insist he come out to fix the issues. He came out and put boards over the large ditch so nobody would be hurt. This was after he started the job in june and didn't correct this issue until november. I had to threaten to sue him to get him to come out to put the boards over the ditch for a temporary fix for safety reasons. I feel like he was in over his head with work and because of this I am out money. He did not to the job properly or to my expectations. Finally I just had do dismiss him from any more services.

FAQs for french drain service projects in Santa Barbara, 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.
