"They did a great job. They were able to use a small pump to pump the waste water out before replacing the broken pump. The other company wanted us to pay for a pump truck costing $600 before giving the estimate."
"They found the problem in a few minutes, it was a crushed drain pipe. They dug up the dirt around the site but do not do piping repairs. I finished the job myself. I never would have known the pipe was crushed with out their camera snake. All in all, great job."
"Great company to work with, highly recommended. Steve was easy to work with, communication and attention to details was the biggest highlight. He did a complete rough and finish plumbing for us including water heater installation"
"After several days of heavy rain, we noticed a small amount of water in the basement near the pipe that goes out to the septic. Key had someone come take a look at it and quickly identified the problem. A few weeks later, the team should up and fixed the problem in about 3 hours. The works included - resealing around the pipe and installing a waterproof membrane on the water below it."
"They were able to assess and install my shower valve, connect the ice maker and water on my refrigerator during the initial visit. I woukd definitely recommend them for other plumbing services."
"Contacted Mark within 3 days he was at my home and providing a detailed quote. Might seem small but he was the only one out of 4 contractors who actually measured the space to provide an accurate and detailed estimate. He while discussing what I wanted with me made many recommendations and even mentioned ways to get the job done but at a lower cost. He had the estimate to me within 2 days and it was super detailed and broken down with 3 different ways to complete it. He was on time daily as was his crew. Work areas were cleaned daily. He closed up a broken window for us, redid a dirt floor with drainage and concrete, repointed and waterproofed our basement foundation, ripped out and fully replaced basement access stairs. He even noticed a window that was broken we didn’t and closed it up for no charge. He added a drain to the exterior steps at no charge wasn’t in contract he just knew it was needed, the steps he replaced had asphalt around them and he even repaired the asphalt at no c"
"Mike, Stetson, and Matthew did such a great job communication the best I ever had with contractors. The tree removal and the stump removal were not easy. Stetson and his guy did an amazing job? the site was leveled, cleaned and all debris removed I seriously highly recommend the Travers company I look forward to using them again. Wish they could install insulation :) KDLxxxxxx 12/2024"

Drain Pipe Installation questions, answered by experts
Yes, flushing a clogged toilet can make it overflow. While flushing the toilet may push enough pressure through the system to dislodge the clog, this is unlikely. Your best bet is to use a plunger and hope the suction can break up whatever is blocking the pipe. If this doesn’t work, use a plumbing auger or call a pro to help.
No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.
You can drain a hot tub very quickly by using a submersible pump rather than the hose-sized drain at the bottom exterior of the tub. A pump can move up to 30 gallons per minute, draining your hot tub in no time. Using the regular drain can take up to two hours.
That pungent rotten egg smell coming from your drain is likely the buildup of biofilm—hair, skin, and soap scum that turns into a black sticky mess. In this case, pouring down near-boiling water, baking soda, and white vinegar will remove the smell. Keep in mind that a rotten egg smell is occasionally a sign of larger sewage line clogs and other related issues.
