Let�s make your basement or Crawl space dry, We have been servicing Illinois since 1979 and pride ourselves on the quality of work that we provide to our homeowners.

"My basement has always leaked and was never dry. I called Donnie Felton, who was highly recommended by a few friends, he was very knowledgeable and explained exactly what he would do step by step. He showed up the following week and completed the job in two days. My basement is now dry and does not see a drop of water even during the heaviest rain. I love not seeing any water in my basement. I would highly recommend Donnie Felton."

"If I could give Mike Williams negative stars I would. I live in Panther Creek and 3 or 4 of my neighbors commented when they saw a Mike Williams van in front of my house. They conveyed that they believe these guys are crooks and after my experience with them I could not agree more. I signed up for their monthly service contract when I had 2 new water heaters installed to save money (at this point I cannot even tell you the amount). In any event, each time they came over (spring and fall) to do their check, they came up with literally thousands of dollars worth of stuff they claimed should be addressed. I know enough to know that most of this was b******* and overpriced and did the work that really needed to be done on my own at a VERY SMALL fraction of what they quoted. But, believe it or not, that is no the reason that I am posting this review. This morning I called to cancel my monthly service contracts. I was told that I had to provide a signature in order to do so, because you are registered with the Illinois Department of Insurance. That sounded very suspicious but more on that in a moment. I ate the complete inconvenience of driving over to the office on Clear Lake drive in Springfield. When I arrived I (probably a little heatedly) spoke about the ridiculousness of having to provide a signed document to cancel the contracts. The woman at the counter (don't know her name), just stuck with the mantra -- it is because we are registered with the Illinois Department of Insurance. When I pressed, she slid the window closed so she no longer had to talk to me. Wow, talk about poor customer service! In any event, I just got off of the phone with the Illinois Department of Insurance and there is fact no such requirement. Oddly, I can't file a complaint with them because Mike Williams is not an insurance company. In fact, IDOI doesn't even understand why Mike Williams is registered with them. My supposition is so that they can give their customers the b******* story they gave me in the hope that the inconvenience will cause them to delay or forget about cancelling. In addition to posting this review on as many review sites as I can find, I will also be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau as there in fact are laws (mostly as a result of similar practice by health clubs) to prevent businesses from doing what they are doing. I would strongly caution anyone who is considering using Mike Williams."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Clogged pipes are one of the top signs your water heater is about to fail. Potential symptoms of excess sediment buildup include not enough hot water, leaks, unusual noises, low water pressure, and discoloration or odors in the water.

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. 

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.

The best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. However, there are several factors that can affect this recommendation, including the age and condition of your pipes, how often your sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. When in doubt, ask a licensed plumber for their recommendation for your plumbing system. 

Yes, continuing to flush a clogged toilet is not likely to break up the clog. Instead, it will continue to put pressure on the clog while filling the bowl with more water, which can potentially cause the toilet to overflow—leading to an even bigger mess. Rather than repeatedly flushing, use a toilet plunger or plumber’s snake to dislodge the clog.
