"The leak was not from a pipe as he was focused on. He did show me a pipe in the ceiling. (Not the problem). The leak was due to the excessive rain which elevated the water table supporting the foundation. He wanted immediate payment w credit card, which I gave him somewhat reluctantly. It was a big sum considering the short time spent and the fact that another workman figured out the problem. If I could do it all over again, I would have called DCR Restoration instead.

"Expensive and only half solved half of my problem. Had two leaks, one in bathroom and one in kitchen. Repaired drain leak in bathroom, for $350, but I passed on $150 reconnection effort (A job I completed in 15 minutes). Provided good referral for kitchen leak repair. Repairman very personable and competent"

"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 questions, answered by experts

Common drain issues include slow-running drains, whether in a sink or shower, clogged drains, a bad smell, and water backing up into a sink, shower, or bathtub. Causes range from hair, grease, roots, or toilet paper clogging the drainpipes to flooding outside the home, which prevents sewer lines from draining properly.

Your clothes—and your washing machine—will send you a few signals if you’re overdue for cleaning your washing machine filter. If you notice a buildup of detergent residue on your clothes, your clothes don’t dry quickly or at all, or you’re noticing lint in the machine, it’s time to clean the filter. 

There are a couple of things you can do to help prevent your French drain grate from clogging. First, keep yard debris clear so it doesn’t wash into the drain and clog the grate. You can also install a screen or filter over the grate to prevent large pieces of debris from entering the access point.

Biodegradable drain cleaners use naturally derived ingredients, such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water, which bacteria and other microbes can break down. Unlike conventional cleaners that rely on corrosive bleach (sodium hydroxide), biodegradable options are gentler on fixtures and less harmful to the environment. Because they don't release harmful gasses, they are also safer to use, especially in households with children, and do not require the same safety precautions as bleach-based products.

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.
