"I returned home from a trip and found water all over my downstairs bathroom and adjoining shed. It was late afternoon and I called Western Rooter who agreed to come out first thing the next day, I had a pretty sleepless night. Rene showed up the next day and assessed the situation and started clean up. Tony soon joined him and the two worked all day until after dark and helped me with cleanup and putting things right. They explained to me what they were doing and why along the way. I felt they charged a fair price. I am so grateful for their service and highly recommend Western Rooter."

"I contacted California Drains because my parent's home was completely backed up to the point where dirty water was coming out from the drains inside and outside their home. They promptly answered and booked me in the same day. They were able to contain the water from continuing to come out of the drains overnight and returned the next day first thing in the morning to get the problem fixed. Price was very reasonable, and the workers were very professional. Left everything clean and drains were completely cleared. It has been months since they came and there has not been an issue since. 10/10 will highly recommend to family and friends."

"I had 2 project with this vendor. Jose & Alex both came to the rescue. 1st was a quote and later water heater install. Then had a old cast iron drain clog that required replacement. They were professional and skilled. I am happy with the service and their fair pricing. Don’t bother shopping around and waste time give them a call directly."

"Juan, the owner of the business was neat, professional and courteous. He is licensed and vaccinated. He explaned what he could do, then wrote out a quote, reviewed it again and then went to work on it. He brings all of his own tools including towels to clean up his work, his own pail for the garbage, he had a large floor mat he used to place the oven on while he worked on the gas supply line behind the oven. I highly recommend True Blue Plumbing and Rooter!"

"Daniel was very nice and very fast. Answered question on phone for me first. Then scheduled within a day or two came earlier than scheduled time but was ok we were fine with that. He was done within 20 minutes maybe. Reasonable price for us saved us the pain of getting under sink to replace our faucet . Will call again for any other plumbing repairs. For sure. Highly recommend them for repairs. And just installing thanks again we appreciated the help Andra and mario"

"I had a great experience with Fix It Quick Plumbing! They came out to unclog my washer drain and lived up to their name—fast, efficient, and right on time. Armando was professional and got the job done quickly without any hassle. Best of all, the pricing was totally reasonable and within my budget. Definitely keeping them in mind for any future plumbing needs!"

"Complete professionals. I work with many plumbers in my line of work, and you can always tell the good ones from the bad. Some are strong on service but weak on communication, while others communicate well but constantly push back appointments. Emergency Drain Pros excels at everything. I’ve used Tony and his team multiple times and consistently receive excellent service."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

Anything from debris, rust, ice, and even poor installation can cause clogs in your plumbing vents. Some signs of a clog include slow drains, gurgling sounds in drains and toilets, and bad odors. The bad odors are the most concerning, as these can include methane and hydrogen sulfide. Contact a plumber to come take a look if you notice any of these signs.

Liquid drain cleaners are harsh chemicals that can erode your pipes. To treat a slow drain or for preventative maintenance, pour hot water down the drain to break up gunk and help move it along. Make sure the water isn’t boiling hot (keep it under 140 degrees Fahrenheit) if you have plastic pipes. However, you’ll need to pull the clog out for bigger backups. 

Most blockages can be cleared in 1-3 hours, but severe issues may take longer.

Regrading your yard can often fix drainage problems. You can also try aerating the lawn to encourage better drainage or install a new drainage system to prevent water from pooling in certain areas.

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.
