"The work done was to clear a tub drain. An old and detached stopper was the real issue. They replaced the piping and did some dry wall work because they had to go thru our kitchen to get to the drain. Weâ re going to keep these guys on service for seasonal clearing of th drains. Thanks so much for the fair price and hard work."

"Adrian responded to our immediate issue right away (clear clogged drain). While on the job, I had him quote several other plumbing jobs I wanted to have done. He provided fair estimates and did a great job getting the work done. One job involved replacing two old valves on the main line coming into the house. For this work we needed to coordinate with the water authority to have the water shut off. Adrian was very accommodating while trying to schedule the shut off. He always returned calls and texts which made coordination easy and did a great job with the plumbing work. Will definitely use him again for any future plumbing needs."

"We just moved into our house on June 1, and a few days later we had some strong downpours and our basement flooded! It turns out there was a sump pump which had been installed by CT Basement Systems a couple of years earlier. However, it was pumping the water into a gutter drain next to the house. This gutter drain was clogged, and the water was rising out of the ground and pouring into a window well, and from the well back into the basement!
Danny from CBS came out, and suggested putting in a perimeter system around that part of the house, which would have cost about $1800. I thought about it a few days, and figured that a better thing to do was to lead the water from the sump and gutters away from the house. So I had Danny come back and told him my idea, and he thought it would work. A month later he came back and installed the 4" drainage pipe and hooked in the sump and two gutters for a cost of $600.
It's almost a year later, and it's worked perfectly so far. We've had many days of heavy rain, and the sump pumps that water into the new drainage, and the water emerges at the end of the drainage pipe near the border of our property. Not a drop in our basement! I'm glad I thought of this solution - I guess I can't blame CBS for suggesting the more expensive solution.

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, chemical drain cleaners contain sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, both of which are not only dangerous to your health but also extremely caustic. Drain cleaners will corrode your pipes and could lead to destroyed drain lines, especially if the chemicals interact with the piping for long periods. Unfortunately, this extended interaction is likely if you’re dealing with a clog, as the drain cleaner will have just as much trouble as water does moving through your plumbing system.

Simple blockages can be cleared using household plungers or manual snakes, provided no severe plumbing issues exist.

Septic tanks can clog if they aren’t pumped every few years since solid waste accumulates inside of them. Your tank might also clog if you have a habit of flushing anything other than human waste or toilet paper. Items like diapers, baby wipes, paper towels, cat litter, and personal hygiene products should never go down your pipes.

To unclog the drain pipe, remove the machine's drain hose from the pipe or sink drain, being careful to contain any water in it. Next, use a plunger for sink drains or a plumbing snake for a wall drain. Test the repair by pouring a small amount of water into the pipe before trying it with a laundry load.

Usually it’s fine to leave a toilet clogged overnight, as long as it’s not close to overflowing. In some cases, the extra time may give the clog time to work itself out. For example, if it’s caused by an excess of toilet paper, letting it sit could result in the clog dissolving and you may be able to simply flush it away by the time you wake up. 

Only let it sit though if you have more than one toilet in the home.
