"This company did a major landscaping overhaul at my camp on Silver Lake in Lee. Specific to this job was the removal of two large hemlock trees, felled by the winter winds and removal of several standing, dead, soft wood trees. This is a large, wooded lot that required a lot of cleanup and leveling, due to some years of inattention. Mike and his crew worked all day, every day until the substantial work involved was completed. It feels great to traverse around the lot on even terrain! The upgrade of the lot included the building up of the earth, grass seeds sown with the potential for a nice lawn, come spring. Seriously consider this company if you want a landscaping upgrade of your home or cottage done well and expediently! I want to mention, this week long undertaking was done at a competitive price!"

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Professional plumbers use many high-grade chemicals to unclog drains. Many use hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid, when it comes to extreme blockages. 

Regardless of the drain cleaner type you choose to use, they all work through chemical reactions that create heat. Thanks to the heat, the clogged hair begins to dissolve until it is able to be flushed away. To avoid clogs in your drain due to hair, use hair catchers and empty them out after every shower.

The spin cycle on your washer should initiate draining, but if you still find leftover water in the washing machine tub, you may need to drain it manually. To manually drain a washing machine, you’ll need to turn off the power supply and locate the drain hose, filter, and pump. Open or disconnect these parts and let the water drain into a bucket.

If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.

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.
