The contract with B&J included new redwood sleepers and vibration pads under the unit, new duct work to connect the unit to the existing duct work, new electrical connections (including a surge protector), new gas connection, new condensate drain, and all miscellaneous installation items. In addition, the contract included disposal of the old unit. B&J was selected as a bidder based on Angie's List reviews and experience with B&J servicing the old unit. The proposal phase went quickly and well. A detailed calculation was done to determine the right size unit (the old unit was a 3 ton AC). As part of the proposal process all the equipment and work included in the proposal were explained by Kurt the B&J representative. Only necessary items were included in the proposal. Other bidders seemed to make a little too much effort pitching additional items that were useful but not necessary. Of the contractors who submitted proposals, B&J offered the lowest price. Installation was done as scheduled and completed in less than one day. The technician (Dean) was professional and well organized. After completing the installation, the heating and cooling functions were tested. All the work was completed as contracted including the City of Tucson permit and inspection.

The ceilings are now pulling away from the side walls. The sump pump is located in the wrong locations. The drain in the basement is far too small. The siding blew off the house the first time the wind came after they put it on. We have a lot of air infiltration due to a lack of insulation. We have had rotting and had the yard re-grated.
They were not willing to work with us and would do things the way they wanted to do them. They changed the roof line and window locations to their preference. They put the wrong shower tubs in the home as well. It was a lot of little things that added up to a bad experience."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/morris/duke-construction-and-concrete-reviews-5464659.htm"},"position":6}]}

French Drains questions, answered by experts
You should inspect and clean a French drain at least once per year. However, if the drain accumulates a lot of debris and sediment, it may require more frequent cleaning. If you notice reduced drainage or any signs that it is clogged, it should be cleaned as soon as possible.
Professional plumbers use many high-grade chemicals to unclog drains. Many use hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid, when it comes to extreme blockages.
Yes, sewage smells can originate from a floor drain. If the P-Trap in the floor drain dries out or if there's a clog or other issue in the plumbing system, sewer gasses can escape through the drain, causing nasty odors. Regularly pouring water into the drain helps maintain the water seal and prevent those smells, but if the smell persists, you should have a plumbing professional inspect the drain for potential problems.
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.
If you're dealing with a clogged sink drain, you may be able to avoid removing the drain by using a plunger to dislodge the clog. While we associate plungers with toilets, they can do the same job with your sink drain. Be gentle, though, as forceful movements can push clogs further into your plumbing system and make them more difficult to remove. Additionally, make sure you’re using a sink plunger—with a flat bottom—and not a toilet plunger—which has a smaller bottom protruding from the larger flat piece.
