                                   WHAT IS WRITTEN BELOW DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS COMPANY!!!!  
 

                                    I'd gotten this company confused with a company that I HAD used!!!!   


    I CAN'T say ANYTHING at all, good OR bad, about American Leak, simply because I hadn't had ANY dealings with them!

Wonderfully!  (M & D Leak Seekers, NOT American Leak) I'd had a brand new pump and filter installed on my pool ONE YEAR prior to this service, but had never been able to run it because it would not fill up with water.   Something was preventing the water getting from the pool, to the pump.   I think the technical term is that the pump would not "prime."    For one entire year, I'd had two different pool people TRY to get this pump to run.    One of them, the original installer, even sent my FIRST new pump back and installed a second new one, thinking that the new pump was defective.    Time & time again, they would come by and TRY to fix this pump, even bringing a special piece of equipment that cost $30,000 with them, to try to solve the problem.   At their suggestion,  I'd even had my cousin bring his scuba diving equipment, to dive down into the deep end of my pool and unscrew the plate covering the main drain.   Still.   No luck.  

Finally, I called a different pool company but they also couldn't find the problem.   They referred me to American Leak Detection.    When he (sorry, I forget his name, but he's the owner of American Leak) came out, he probably spent about a good 2 solid hours working on this problem.    No fancy or expensive equipment.    He felt that something was "blocking" the flow of water and just kept at it, I think by forcing air/water through the lines.    FINALLY, he saw something in the line that he could reach.    Using a wire coat hanger, he managed to pull out two items that had been the culprits.    One was a small plastic toy part.    The other was some type of plastic bottle cap that was just the perfect size to block the line.    Imagine!   I had bought this house with a pool in 2012, only to discover that the pool pump would not work, paid $900+ to have new equipment installed, and had yet, one whole year later, been unable to use my pool!    I was SO HAPPY when ALD fixed this problem, I jumped up and down and hugged the guy!!!    I can't recommend them highly enough!

"Called to get an estimate of adding on a bedroom. The lady on the phone was super nice and helpful. So glad we choose Hang 10 to complete the job. Zach was professional, on time, and client focused. He always cleaned up his space after working for the day. Zach put up a ceiling, built a closet with 4 sliding doors, installed a new ceiling fan, and hung 2 french doors. We love our new space and recommend this company if looking for honesty, reliability, and affordability."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

If your washing machine drain is clogged, that isn’t a good sign. Unlike toilet drains or kitchen sink drains, there isn’t matter that is easily broken up with a plumbing snake, and more care is required. If you’re in an old house or have mineral-rich water, there could be a buildup inside the pipe. Either way, if the blockage isn’t obvious and doesn’t dislodge with a snake, you need to call a pro—otherwise, you risk damaging integral plumbing.

It can take anywhere from half an hour to a few hours to fix a main line clog, depending on the cause and severity of it. The job should not take more than a day to complete. Keep in mind that the main line is not the same as your home’s sewer lines (which connect to the main line and run to your house). Your city is responsible for any clogs or damage to the main line itself.

If your drain doesn’t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.

The cost to clean a sewer line is about $370, ranging from about $190 to $550 on average. The specific cleaning method and the problem's severity will impact the project's overall cost. Some of the most common sewer line cleaning methods include:

  • Snaking or rodding: $100–$250

  • Hydrojetting: $350–$600

  • Chemical treatments: $600–$1,000

  • Repair or replacement: $1,000–$7,500

Knowing the signs can alert you to a clogged drain line. Clogs cause slow drainage or cause no drainage (if there’s a complete blockage). You may also notice foul odors, gurgling noises, water backing up in other appliances on the same line, or a poorly flushing toilet. If you experience any of these issues and think your line might be clogged, call a plumber.
