"Vaclav Valek is the owner, he was one of 5 contractors I hired to provide professional advice on how to fix framing in the attic. One of the contractors never called back, and several others provided much different solutions. He provided the most honest solution without charging an arm an leg. Since I was under severe budget constraints he worked with me and had me gather the materials saving time and money for the both of us. He performed the work in one afternoon and provided good communication throughout the process."

"Mr. Gentry was negligent in the installation of the sump pumps by not drilling weep holes for the sump pumps in the PVC pipes per the installation instructions. This caused the sump pumps to malfunction and my basement to flood. Mr. Gentry was out of town when my basement flooded and I called Four Seasons to fix the sump pumps. Four Seasons did so by drilling the weep holes in the PVC pipes. In addition he found a microfiber rag wrapped around the battery pump which must have been dropped by Mr. Gentry during installation. This rag also prohibited the pump from activating. The cost for Four Seasons was $572. My basement was damaged by the flood and we hired Parkside Restoration to remove the damaged carpeting and baseboards. They set up 20 air movers and 2 large dehumidifiers for 4 days. The cost was $4,470. As the water had seeped up the walls, I had to repaint the basement at a cost of $236. I did the painting myself. The new carpet cost is $4,183. Mr. Gentry charge was $3,300 for the sump pumps installation plus some additional plumping work. Contact with Mr. Gentry was made via email on Sept 8, 2024 to which he responded about how much money I was looking for to which I responded that I had not looked @ carpeting yet and would contact him when I had a final amount. My 2nd contact with Mr. Gentry was on October 16, 2024 when he stated that he only warrants his work for 1 year and the flooding occurred 16 months later so he would not assume any responsibility. I told him the pump failure was caused by his negligence to drill weep holes in the PVC pipes per installation instructions. I again contacted Mr. Gentry via text on October 18, 2024 to attempt to settle. He called and stated he would call me on October 21, 2024. We did not hear back from Mr. Gentry again. I would like total reimbursement for the damages to my basement of $9,461 which includes the costs of Four Seasons $572, Parkside Restoration $4,470, paint $236 and carpet $4,183 totaling $9,461."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Small clogs will eventually break down, but only if the clog is made up of toilet paper or waste and this can take time. If you don’t have another bathroom, it's best to fix a clogged toilet with what you have available. Solid objects flushed down the drain, however, require manual removal.

Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.

Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.

No. You should never pour old paint down a drain or sewer because it can clog pipes and pollute the environment. You must dispose of paint properly and safely. Different types of paint need to be disposed of in different ways—oil-based paints must be taken to a paint recycling center, while you can throw dried-out water- or latex-based paints in the garbage. 

Usually it’s fine to leave a toilet clogged overnight, as long as it’s not close to overflowing. In some cases, the extra time may give the clog time to work itself out. For example, if it’s caused by an excess of toilet paper, letting it sit could result in the clog dissolving and you may be able to simply flush it away by the time you wake up. 

Only let it sit though if you have more than one toilet in the home.

Start by unscrewing the overflow valve, which is located on the wall of your tub between the floor drain and the tub spout. Gently insert a plumbing snake down into the pipe, move it back and forth, and pull it out. Remove any hair, debris, and soap scum that comes out with it. Repeat the process until the snake comes out clean, and then reinstall the cap on your overflow valve.
