"Was polite and professional but didn't have the tools needed to properly unclog my underground gutter drain which was clogged with roots. Tried a mechanical auger that he had but that was all he could do and only pulled thin roots which helped but didn't completely unclog the drain."

"The team from Maintain that Drain was professional and friendly. I appreciate that they took extra time to thoroughly explain their work and even give some helpful suggestions for other issues in the house. The thing that I was most impressed with is careful they were in my home and how beautifully they cleaned up after the work was finished. I will definitely be using Maintain that Drain from now on for any plumbing issues!"

"It went really well.  We noticed a slow leak coming into the basement from where the water line comes into the house.   We had a local plumber come out and evaluate the leak and he determined it was a cracked or broken  30 year old plastic  water line between my house and the water main for the neighborhood, which means it's my problem, not the county's.  Since this was going to be an expensive job, I used Angie's List to find another plumber for a second quote.  That plumber was Mahon and their quote, with the Angie's list coupon, was about the same price as the local plumber, but they also included in that price bringing the area the water pipe enters my house up to code and adding an overflow tank to the hot water heater to bring it up to code.  Plus, they arranged for the county inspector to inspect the work when done.     They did use PE line instead of copper (the local plumber would have used copper) but I looked at various plumbing sites on the Internet and it looks like PE pipe is a valid choice and easier to install.

Mahon Inc. is very responsive.  They had a guy out to my house within a couple of hours to look around and give me a quote.  He was able to give me a quote on the spot, and once I agreed, they arranged to be at my house 8am the next day.   They showed up with  5 guys, two trucks and a backhoe.    While waiting for Miss Utility, they gave me good suggestions like filling a pitcher of water for drinking and filling the bathtub with water to replace the water in the toilet after flushing - this was very useful advice!    They also did the inside plumbing while waiting for Miss Utility.
Everything went well - they had to dig two holes, one where my water line comes off the main feed  and one on the outside of the house where the water line enters the house.  There is a garden next to the house, so they moved the ground containing the tulip bulbs to the side so it could be returned later;   they tried very hard not to damage the plants.   The water was back on around 1pm and they left by 3pm.  They would have completed the job earlier except they had to wait for the inspector before filling the holes and moving the plants back into the garden.   Once the hole by the water main was filled they put down soil and seed and hay.      They were able to pull the old line out with no problems, but they had a torpedo or missile that they could have used to run the new line if the old line couldn't be pulled.  They did not need to do that, but it was good that they were prepared, and it would have not effected the price if they had used it. 
They were easy to work with, knew what they were doing, and very professional.

"My experience with this company was great. I was able to tell them my issues and they gave me several options. Ultimately we went for the full French Drain system. Everything was done on time and the estimates were very fair. Warranty on the work is great. I would call them again if needed."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.  

There are a few reasons your snake won’t go down the floor drain. One common reason is a large obstruction in the drain that is causing a blockage. You can remove any debris you see in the drain before trying to snake it. In addition, the snake might not be long enough to reach the clog, or it might be the wrong diameter. 

Bleach is generally not recommended for your shower drains. Although diluted bleach can technically help clean your drain, it will not unclog your pipes. In fact, bleach can harm your plumbing system because it’s so powerful. The bleach can change the color of your sink and even corrode metal pipes and fittings.

Often, people reach for bleach because it's already in their house. But it's worth getting a plunger or a drain snake for the job instead. It'll be a lot less money to buy a new plunger than to pay a plumber to repair or replace damaged pipes.

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.

There are many things that could cause your basement floor drain to back up. One significant cause of a drainage backup is flushing non-flushable items, such as wipes, paper towels, and facial tissue. Other causes of a backed-up basement floor drain include tree roots impeding the drain pipe or an accumulation of hair, oil, and grease.
