"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

In most states, companies that perform sewer cleaning services don’t need specific licensing, but you should always ensure you hire a licensed and certified plumber to get the work done. You can use our state licensing tool to check whether the potential sewer cleaning company holds a plumber’s certification and license. Hiring a certified sewer cleaning services guarantees that the work will be done safely, there won’t be additional damage done to your home, and the problem will be fixed.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.

Never pour used motor oil down the drain. Doing so can have serious environmental consequences, including contaminating groundwater, endangering animals, and killing vegetation. It can also clog your pipes, causing backups in your plumbing or the wastewater treatment plant. In most places, pouring motor oil down the drain is illegal, whether you do it in your home or a storm drain.

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

It is generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage for a short time, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. While the level of sewer gas is usually low enough to only cause minor symptoms, prolonged inhalation can lead to headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous, and high concentrations of methane—a component of sewer gas—can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. If you smell sewer gas in your home, ventilate the area and call a professional to locate, assess, and fix the problem, as it will not go away on its own.
