I needed someone to repair the shower so we wouldn't have the problem again and cause more damage to the ceiling. The plumbers unclogged the drain and recommended Dallia to repair the shower. In the meantime I had another repair company provide an estimate. To keep the story short, the man explained how he thought the water must be escaping from the shower and leaking into the drywall. He told me about all the repairs he could make including re-caulking all around the shower etc. etc. When I asked him what would happen if this didn't fix the problem, he told me there are no guarantees on what caused the problem and we'd start all over if that didn't solve it. This made me a little leery so I had Dallia come in. Mike told me his number one rule is you don't do anything until you know what the problem is. That was reassuring! He explained why the standing water might have caused a one-time leak and explained one plumbing option I could use to make sure, or he said doing nothing would probably be just fine. I appreciated his honesty in helping me avoid a bunch of unnecessary costs. If we ever need any similar service in the future, we will be sure to call Dallia!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/skokie/dallia-floor-and-wall-co-reviews-78828.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"ARROW SEPTIC & SEWER","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"PAT S."},"reviewBody":"My sump pump drains into septic lines and the pipes and lines near the house were full of roots from the foundation bushes.

Ken came right on time. He immediately assessed the problem and fixed it. He was here for about a half hour. We have had Ken here before and he has always been prompt and effective. They replaced my drain pipes a couple of years ago and it has been fine ever since. Would highly recommend him....

"They did a poor job. Within 3 months, plants started growing in between the asphalt. The company refuses to come fix it and is adamant it is done correctly against seal coating companies saying that it is poorly done. I was informed to seal coat the aspahlt within 3 months/in fall, and the driveway didnt last that long. He refuses to give me the terms and conditions to the "warranty" on the driveway despite several times asking. He only picks up responses to getting paid and accepting work. Also do not view the "estimate", it is a trick to get you to accept their work. Communication is difficult with this company unless its about giving them money. Would not recommend."

FAQs for french drain service projects in Marengo, IL
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
