"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.

"Michael was quick to respond, was able to assess the issue, propose a solution and do the work on the spot. Fair pricing, good work. He and his partner installed a new external hose bibb in a difficult to access spot. They had to pull up carpet and cut into the sub-flooring to access the 12 inch clearing to remove broken pipe pieces from the inside, but they did a great job and put everything back the way it was. Works as expected. Would recommend."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

No. You should dispose of all oil-based finishing products through a local hazardous waste program. Not only can oil-based finishes be hazardous for the environment if disposed of in the sink, but they can cause clogs in your pipes and stop up your drains. Most municipal garbage or waste disposal companies have a specific location or pick-up schedule for hazardous materials, so that’s your best bet to get rid of excess finishing products.

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.

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. 

The first rule of plumbing is nothing but water, toilet paper, number one, and number two go down the drain. 

To prevent clogs, get yourself:

  • A compast pail where you can clean plates, drain grease, and toss scraps and paper towels. 

  • Drain screens for the shower, tub, and bathroom sink to stop hair, jewelry, toys, etc. from going down the drain.

  • Trash cans for everything that shouldn’t go down the drain, like dental floss, hygiene products, and cat litter.

P.S.: If you do drop your priceless ring down the drain, take a deep breath, and then follow these steps to retrieve jewelry from your drain.

It is okay to use a drain auger on a toilet, just make sure you are using the correct tip size. The auger is a plumbing snake with a protective sleeve to protect the porcelain toilet bowl from getting scratched. Using too large of an auger can cause the snake to loop back and damage the inside of the drain and plumbing.
