"A++++++ to Valley Excavating! First of all Dave, the owner, calls you back. They showed up, gave me an estimate, and called me a few days later asking if I wanted to do it tomorrow? YES!! They installed a drain system in front of my garage door, resolving an ice accumulation problem I had been experiencing. Paul, the project manager, did the estimate and directed the work crew. Direct, to the point, no BS. I very much enjoyed dealing with him. The quality of their cut into my driveway told me they knew what they were doing. The installation and finishing work (replacement of asphalt) was done professionally. I highly recommend Valley Excavating for your project!"

French Drains questions, answered by experts

To clean gunk out of a sink drain, pour in a half cup of baking soda, then 1 cup of white vinegar. The two will react chemically; let them fizz for 15 minutes, then rinse with boiling water. Repeat these steps if necessary for particularly dirty sink drains, and consider a drain snake if there are clogs.

The most common cause of a clogged sump pump is natural debris buildup. As water enters the sump pit, it can carry small pieces of debris that build up over time, or the debris can get caught in the filter. If you forget to cover the pit after cleaning the sump pump and pit, debris can also collect in the pit. Corrosion on the metal discharge pipe can also clog the pump. Additionally, if your pipes freeze, it can prevent water from draining properly and cause a clog.

Professionals use snakes, hydrojetting, or chemical cleaners to clear blockages effectively without damaging pipes.

Even if the shower drain doesn’t seem clogged or dirty, plan to clean it out about once per month—or more frequently if you or your family shed a lot of hair. It’s a good practice to remove any hair from the drain on a daily basis, as hair can accumulate fast and cause clogs in no time. You may also want to have a plumber thoroughly clean the drains in your home once every six months.

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.
