He even pulled out a hose and knocked as many leaves as possible off our lanai screens, something I hadn't asked him to do. Pete also keeps an eye on our downspouts and French drains and warns us when they get clogged or are damaged by gnawing critters. He has re-channeled some drainage for us and taken care of clogs.

I called JW Plumbing in the late afternoon about the clogged shower drain. They couldn't get to me that day, but they would the next morning. They gave me a two-hour time window to expect the plumber.
The next morning, the plumber, BJ, called me and then showed up at the early end of the time window. He was very friendly and provided great descriptions of what he was doing. Within minutes, he used his drain gizmo to core out and break up the obstruction. He checked the sewer clean out and made sure everything was flowing fine. He gave me some excellent advice for any future drain problems. I had a few other plumbing issues I asked him about (for another visit), and he was very informative.
He was done and left within two minutes of his arrival.

FAQs for french drain service projects in Gainesville, FL
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
