"Doug contacted me in minutes after I listed clogged drain. He met me in an hour and told me his fee after inspecting the drain. He informed of the risk of damaging the lead pipe and said he would wave his fee in case of damage. He cleared the drain and suggested Replacing the vent cap He was personable and polite and charged a reasonable $265 for an hour and a half of service"

"Your company is outstanding and we are extremely happy. Our technician Garett was prompt and polite. He was very knowledgeable and explained things about our situation that we were totally unaware of. Potentially saving us time and money down the road. Garrett was attentive to our to our needs and was very careful of our pets as he was working. We would definitely use Beacon Drain Service again."

"David Ladd is good. He worked efficiently and was a pleasure to work with, but I need to change my review. I wanted new kitchen faucets and for him to take out my garbage disposal. He installed the faucets and found that there was a defect in the faucet product, so he came back the very next day, with a new faucet product, took out the defected one and installed the new one. I am updating my review because since the time he has done the work a couple of months ago, I called him several times to fix the faucet in my bathtub, but he never returned my call. Then last Sunday, I called him because the piping that he did fix for me under my sink came apart from the drain and water was all over my kitchen floor. I called him to ask him to call me because I wanted him to fix it since he was the one that did the work in the first place, and I could not use my sink. To this day, a week later, David has never returned my call! I had to hire someone else to come and fix it and now I am spending more money to do something that he should have came back and taken care of in the first place. I am really disappointed in him because I thought he was nice and seemed to care about his work. I mean, even if he was busy, he could still at least give me the courtesy of a return phone call. I am so sorry but I feel that I have to change my rating due to this."

"We hired Leal Restoration to clean up water damage on three floors of our house. They came early on a Saturday morning, worked all weekend and finished the job on Monday. This included drying out the area, removing debris, and replacing a ceiling. The work was done efficiently and carefully. Leal turned a disaster area into a clean and back to normal living space in 3 days. Amazing!"

French Drains questions, answered by experts

There are a couple of things you can do to help prevent your French drain grate from clogging. First, keep yard debris clear so it doesn’t wash into the drain and clog the grate. You can also install a screen or filter over the grate to prevent large pieces of debris from entering the access point.

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. 

Yes, sewage smells can originate from a floor drain. If the P-Trap in the floor drain dries out or if there's a clog or other issue in the plumbing system, sewer gasses can escape through the drain, causing nasty odors. Regularly pouring water into the drain helps maintain the water seal and prevent those smells, but if the smell persists, you should have a plumbing professional inspect the drain for potential problems.

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.

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.
