"Wonderful communication, knowledgeable and experienced team. Ethan, Grant, and Jose are superb! I needed some crawlspace repair completed prior to the sale of my home, and these guys made the experience feel not so overwhelming. Ethan took quality photos of each item that was addressed, took time to explain the necessary steps in the process, and communicated promptly at each turn. Grant and Jose worked tirelessly cleaning out heavy debris left from the previous owner, completed the multi-day job, and even left useable materials neatly stacked upon request, Notably, even though operating as a single female, I felt secure with this team, didnâ t feel railroaded, and feel confident that this team was a good choice."

"Home Advisor is not User Friendly to do initial reviews prior to the work being done. THE WORK HAS NOT BEEN STARTED YET ON THIS REVIEW. I RATE Advance Restoration a 5 STAR INITIALLY based on their communication and responsiveness, and will add/delete to this review once the work has been completed. Marty has been great, so far! Discharge may cost more, and I will evaluate in detail after the work is done. I am an older senior and my husband is 18 years older than me. Since I am more familiar with houses, issues and know how to ask many questions, I handle issues that arise. When I saw a little water weeping into our unfinished basement concrete block and onto the floor a little, I decided to call and get estimates for waterproofing companies. Our home is a ranch built in 1968. I was looking for bids for a partial system and open to recommendations for our basement floor as our full south wall and 2 feet on either side are done already. Several from Angie's list responded quickly within 1 or 2 days. Five or six, I believe, were interested. Two were unknown to me and not considered. I received estimates from 2 well-known bigger companies, 2 bids from better known (I think) companies, and 1 bid from an individual. One of those, though, the inspector was sick, so it took 3 business days (and a weekend) to receive an estimate. The company that I chose and impressed me through Angie's (Pop-List Company) was Marty of Advanced Restoration Waterproofing, who responded same day. We also communicated the next day, and he came out the following day. Marty listened to me, and we discussed our immediate needs, not more or less. He spent a lot of time with me. On the third after after contacting Angie's List, he gave me an email proposal, their company pledges, Certificate of Liability, and many references. I called a couple of them. One of them said that two others in his neighborhood used Advanced Restoration and were very happy. Those I called were happy customers. Once I received his proposal, and I had my wits more in line to concentrate on all the information that I had received, I reviewed his proposal later. Marty, Advanced Restoration was so responsive to my questions, as another I was interested in. But, Marty is confident in what his company does, and he recommended I call Mike Bird, the owner, who would explain any questions to me, and for me to go to their website to review photos, etc. OMGosh, they have so many pictures on there, you surely will find all the things you want to see about the job they are going to do for you! I could not find those kinds of pictures on some other companies websites! He priced us on 25 lineal feet of french drain, sump pump (5 year ltd. warranty) with a battery backup, and sump pit basin with up to 15-20 feet discharge piping, etc. Well, after looking at pictures and several questions, he offered to come out again, and we discussed everything in detail and to answers any remaining questions, and discharge options. While we were talking I decided that I needed more lineal feet. Marty revised the proposal, the price was good, I signed a contract and paid deposit to them to do the work. Based on Marty and Advanced Restoration's RESPONSIVENESS and COMMUNICATION, I would give them a Five (5) Star rating.. Well, that is it for this beginning review. I will have to update this review once the project is done."

"Dillon gave a fair price for storm damage to an old structure. He was upfront with schedule and updated with delays. Final result was very satisfactory. All workers were professional. I will contact Stefaniak for future construction needs. So happy with results!"

"Tony Ferrell does a great job. Not only did he travel all the way to Greeneville for this project but he sacrificed more time than the job should've taken. First he removed my waterheater which was in a tight compartment space ( mobile home) and took it back to Lowes for me to be replaced ( was still under warranty) but stayed there with me while I had to deal with Lowes customer service over replacement. We were actually there 3 1/2 to 4 hours before we finally got a new water heater. Which Tony hauled back to my home and installed. He never complained, didn't leave a mess in my house, and did a wonderful job. Although I was stressed out over the issues I had with Lowes and the time that we had spent there I was still grateful for Tony seeing this job thru for me. Thank you Tony Ferrell and may the good Lord bless you and your business abundantly."

"They were great guys and did the work. They did what they were supposed to do. There were a few minor things. They did a great job and I have not had any more problems with leaking in my basement. Their price was reasonable compared to everyone else."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

On average, a plumber will take 30 minutes to two hours to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn’t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.

There are several signs that can indicate your leach lines are broken, failing, or in need of repair, including puddles of water or a marshy consistency to the ground above or around the pipes, slow drainage or plumbing backups inside your home, and noticeable odors or gurgling sounds coming from your leach field. Keeping your septic system properly maintained, including having your septic tank pumped at regular intervals, can help ensure your leach lines stay in good working order for a long time.

It is okay to use a drain auger on a toilet, just make sure you are using the correct tip size. The auger is a plumbing snake with a protective sleeve to protect the porcelain toilet bowl from getting scratched. Using too large of an auger can cause the snake to loop back and damage the inside of the drain and plumbing.

Drain clearing removes debris and clogs from drain pipes enough to allow water to drain properly. On the other hand, drain cleaning removes all of the material from the pipe so that water flows unrestricted, which is a longer-term solution. Your plumbing pro will be able to recommend the right service depending on the clog size, frequency of issues, and surrounding pipework.

If you leave liquid drain cleaner for too long, it will start breaking down your drainpipes. The chemicals in these cleaners can cause cracks, corrosion, and leaks in your pipes. They can also damage plumbing fixtures and even cause environmental damage if left too long without rinsing away.
