"Company called immediately after I logged an Angi query. Technician scheduled to come out the next morning, and he turned up early in the 4 hour window. Explained the process and then cleaned out the drain efficiently. Stayed to be sure that the drain worked OK; explained their 30 day warranty, and left after cleaning up."

"Ryan was great. He was very nice and helpful, and did a great job on several small jobs we needed help with. He replaced 2 bathroom faucets, the intake lines, replaced a shutoff valve at the kitchen sink and cleared a slow draining bathroom sink. Highly recommend and will use them again if plumbing needs arise!"

"Wonderful! They installed a sump pump in my old house. The man who came out (Jorge) was polite, professional, and cleaned up after himself. I was very satisfied with the work. I moved recently, and the new basement smelled damp, so I contacted Basement Systems again. I got their SaniDry, which is quiet and energy -efficient. It drains right into the sump pump, so I don't have to empty it. The basement now feels dry and comfortable, and everything I store down there in cardboard boxes smells clean. All of my dealings with the company have been very good."

"Worked with them to install french drain and sump in basement of home we recently purchased. There was an existing sump, but no french drain, and the location of the existing sump was inconvenient. Relocated sump to a corner where it was not in the way. Work was fast and efficient."

"We had numerous issues with water in our basement in the 5 years we owned our home, it was not an easy fix and we received numerous ideas and quotes. The rep from Worthington came out and was amazing, did not try and up sell us, and identified and fixed every problem. Worthington was not the cheapest firm we spoke with but would you really want the guy with the lowest price for a job like this? We would recommend this company emphatically."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.

Professional plumbers use many high-grade chemicals to unclog drains. Many use hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid, when it comes to extreme blockages. 

Drain fly problems can go away on their own—but only if the insects find the environment inhospitable. Those with a minor infestation can simply flush their toilets and run their faucets more frequently to flush out the flies and larvae. Others will have to deep clean their drains and set up traps.

It is safe to flush small amounts of bleach down the toilet. Don’t flush more than ¼ cup of bleach. Instead, consider diluting it and pouring it down the sink drain.

Yes, you can use hydrogen peroxide to unclog a drain. Instead of using a baking soda and vinegar solution, you can use baking soda with hydrogen peroxide. The process to unclog a drain is the same as with vinegar, but use 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide instead.
