"The only reason this company gets an overall grade of C and not an F is because they are prompt and professional with emails, phone calls and showing up on time. We contacted this company (1 of 3 companies) to help us assess why we were having water issues in our basement, mostly in one concentrated area where our furnace, water heater and water softener are located. Long story short, the sales person assessed that we needed a very expensive sump pump. He also tried to sell us every other thing imaginable related to repairing basement water issues. By the time his bid was done, it was sitting at $17,000! He was very professional and took the time to look around in the basement and had an impeccable computer presentation but we were shocked at the upsell. Since then, we've had 2 other consultations with the 3rd one being today. When we told today's salesman about our issues, he said he had really good news for us. He said the water issues we were having was more than likely a clogged floor drain. So he asked if he could turn on the water softener (which is normally programmed to run at night), and we said sure. Once he turned it on, the floor drain began to overflow. He asked us to watch it through it's cycle which takes about an hour. He left and sure enough, after about 45 minutes, I heard it at it's loudest point and went down to find water all over the floor in that area. So what will thankfully only cost us a minimal amount could have cost us thousands of dollars had we went with Thrasher."

"This was one of their first stone shower installs so it took one day longer than originally anticipated. However the installation guys were great, very polite, and super conscientious. They arrived when they promised to, cleaned up after themselves each day and were very careful throughout our home. They were also very cooperative in helping us deal with our four dogs during the installation process. The finished product looks so good and has been so easy to care for we are now considering having them replace the shower in our master bath with their stone shower.

"Dug holes in garage slab to connect plates from outside to inside with threaded rod and filled holes with concrete.  My task was to use large wrench they provided to tighten the nuts on the outside after concrete had time to set.  One wall was over 1/2 inch from slab before tightening and the other was over 1/4 inch.  After a few weeks I had the gap for both too small to measure.  Over 6 months later and all is well.  Very professional job."

"Great! Crew used plastic sheeting to contain dust. Constantly removed debris. Floated new concrete over the drain tile to match existing floor. Sump pump and discharge line works perfectly. No more ground water problems."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

The P-trap (or S-trap in older homes) under your shower is designed to prevent sewer gas from coming back up, so you shouldn’t normally experience foul odors coming from your shower drain. If you do, the vent stack that introduces air into your plumbing system may be clogged, or you may have a more severe sewer main blockage. In either case, hire a plumber to fix the issue for you.

If you don’t have a sewer cleanout, clearing out clogs can be extremely difficult. You would need to try to clear the clog from sink drains, but it can be harder to reach the clog all the way in the drain line. A sewer cleanout makes it much faster and easier for pros to clear clogs from your main sewer line.

The cost varies from $150 to $600, depending on the severity of the clog, pipe access, and required equipment.

Vinegar is better for an AC drain line because it’s less corrosive and won’t damage the pipes. It’s also a safer and easier product to use. Bleach should not be used on your AC drain line because it can corrode your pipes and harm the evaporator coil in your air conditioner.

Most clogs are resolved quickly, often within an hour. More complex issues requiring pipe disassembly might take longer.
