"We called 3 different companies for quotes. During the process of scheduling times with companies Daughenbaugh Construction was referred to me by a close friend that had them finish their basement. So we also scheduled an appointment with them. We met all 4 .Small things that Dave told us ,"which are big things ". Like Dave pulling his tool bags out of his truck and saying I will be the man that you see everyday on site building this , I'm not a salesmen I'm a carpenter really couldn't have rang more true to us. Having used a G.C. company in the past for our own basement there was a constant lack of communication between all parties because they were all hired out and controlled by a manager that was under staffed and behind on everything. Daughenbaugh Construction went way above and beyond what we had ever experienced. Just having the owner on site everyday to discuss concerns or options made for a great experience vs having to constantly call an owner that was too busy and basically made us deal with all the contracted help ourselves and was terrible beings we are not or were not construction minded. When u see the owner Dave grab the nail gun for framing and lead his guys , to then see him install hardwood floors as a leader just to prove to you the owner he knows what he is doing and also showing his men how it should work is really a site to see. Dave will educate you the whole way on today's standards and building codes to let you know why he's doing what he's doing even when u don't even ask. He wants to teach and is one of the greatest qualities I found in this company. Don't pass up a small business that will save you money and give you the attention you deserve .

Drain Pipe Installation questions, answered by experts

There are a few reasons your snake won’t go down the floor drain. One common reason is a large obstruction in the drain that is causing a blockage. You can remove any debris you see in the drain before trying to snake it. In addition, the snake might not be long enough to reach the clog, or it might be the wrong diameter. 

Liquid drain cleaners are harsh chemicals that can erode your pipes. To treat a slow drain or for preventative maintenance, pour hot water down the drain to break up gunk and help move it along. Make sure the water isn’t boiling hot (keep it under 140 degrees Fahrenheit) if you have plastic pipes. However, you’ll need to pull the clog out for bigger backups. 

Pouring drain cleaner down a vent pipe isn’t recommended. First of all, unlike a clog in a sink or bath caused by such material as soap scum build-up, toothpaste, and hair, clogs in a vent pipe are likely the result of debris from trees or even an animal stuck in the pipe. Drain cleaners won’t be able to eat through this kind of material. The cleaner will only become clogged in the vent with the debris, causing even more problems.

If the drain is frozen, the pipes connecting to the washing machine are likely frozen. If the hot water trick doesn’t also unfreeze the washing machine pipes, you can gently apply heat with a hair dryer on the lowest setting. Start at the end of the pipe closest to the faucet to prevent pressure from building in the pipes, and make sure the faucet is open to drain the water as it melts.

Yes, you can pour water down the toilet to help it flush. For each flush, you’ll need 1 to 2 gallons of water for newer toilets or 3 to 5 gallons of water for older toilets. Rather than dumping the entire bucket in all at once, pour the water in slowly for the best results. If you’re pouring water down the toilet to help it flush after a clog, only use 1 gallon of hot water.
