"The job was extremely difficult and all I can say is that Jeff and his crew were resilient.  He did not give up and had to go get more bags of concrete.  Lifting a slab of this size has a lot of guess work involved.  Jeff tried to predict the amount of concrete, but due to the unknown condition below the slab, it took more.  Jeff and his courteous worked until the job was done, which took longer than expected.  He did not complain and kept a positive outlook being honest to the customer.  His predictions as far as how the slab would rise, what would happen to the existing cracks, and how the final job would look were fairly accurate.  He cleaned up thoroughly.  I want to say that doing this kind of work with a job such as ours, may not always have a perfect outcome, but under our circumstances, we were pleased.  One thing I appreciated about Jeff was his willingness to explain as he went and not treat me like I could not comprehend.  He took his time doing the job as he had described and bid on.  His bid was fairly thorough, and please remember, that some jobs have unknowns and customers need to be understanding.  Even though Jeff needed more concrete than he had arrive with, he said he would not charge us for the additional concrete, however, in all fairness, we insisted on paying a bit extra for the overall job.  I would hire Jeff and his crew again."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.  

It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.

In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.

The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.

If you’re wondering whether rats can come up the toilet, the unfortunate answer is yes, it’s possible, though it’s extremely rare. These rodents are excellent swimmers and can travel through sewer pipes in search of food, and they may follow plumbing lines leading to your home if they’re drawn by the scent of scraps and waste. The toilet’s U-bend holds a small pocket of air, which can help a rat catch its breath before making its final push into your bathroom. While more common in cities with larger rat populations, this can happen anywhere with connected sewer systems; sealing entry points and keeping drains clean can help reduce the risk.
