"Lee from Spartan Plumbing replaced ALL of the Polybutylene* pipes in my home with new PEX, stubbed for a water softener and Reverse Osmosis unit, added a hot water re-circulation loop and pump (with timer), updated my washer/dryer water valves and waste drain, added a new refrigerator shut off valve, and relocated the main water shut off valve from way under the crawl space to the crawl space entrance. Everything was so professionally done even the plumbing inspector complemented his work during the inspection. Lee was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him to take care of your plumbing needs. *If your home was built in the 1980s - 1990s have it checked for Polybutalyne plumbing. It is a ticking time bomb that can burst without warning. Don't take my word for it.. go read up on it."

"We had a major leak in our crawl space and Boise Family Plumbers identified and fixed the problem quickly and correctly. Thomas also noticed a few things that werenâ t to code and fixed those as well to prevent further problems. Very professional service and a reasonable price. A very good value for my home. I would highly recommend this company and plan to use them for any future plumbing needs."

"Do not let the Company Name mislead you. At first I hired Idaho Drainage Solutions to install drains in the front yard. During that time, I learned I could rehire them to completely revamp my front yard. I was presented with plans and a drawing, which on paper was exactly what I envisioned. The finished project was perfectly executed. I am more than pleased having had the privilege working with Brian Esquivel and his team."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe. 

Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.

Regardless of the drain cleaner type you choose to use, they all work through chemical reactions that create heat. Thanks to the heat, the clogged hair begins to dissolve until it is able to be flushed away. To avoid clogs in your drain due to hair, use hair catchers and empty them out after every shower.

Your clothes—and your washing machine—will send you a few signals if you’re overdue for cleaning your washing machine filter. If you notice a buildup of detergent residue on your clothes, your clothes don’t dry quickly or at all, or you’re noticing lint in the machine, it’s time to clean the filter. 

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.

Drain pipes carry wastewater from sinks, toilets, showers, and other fixtures to the main sewer line. They’re typically located within the walls and floors and beneath a home’s foundation. Meanwhile, sewer pipes transport collected wastewater to a septic tank or a municipal sewer system.
