"Mr. Pipey Plumbing is awesome! I had a new renant move in Friday. He found the shower and sink drains clogged, so I called Mr. Pipey at 3:00, set up an appointment, they showed up same day from a job location down the road, assessed the issue, and rocked out my drain issues in the bathroom. They got there at 5, out by 6 - all clear. Professional, easy to work with, tenant is happy, cost was very reasonable and fair. I will use them again now at my rental house locations."

"I highly recommend Mike Elinski and his team at Perma Dry. Last winter we had a small leak coming from a hairline crack at about face-height on one of our basement walls. We called Mike and he promptly drove out to have a look. He quoted us a price which we accepted. He then had one of his employees come out to seal the crack. When the work was done Mike and his employee worried that the issue might be something other than the crack. So Mike refused to accept payment even though we insisted. We waited a few months and the problem never reappeared. So we asked him to send us a bill so we could pay him. He refused. Months went by and Metro Detroit got hit with heavy rains. We started noticing leaking near the floor in other areas of the basement. Then on July 24 there was a major downpour and we got about an inch or two of water in our basement. This had nothing to do with the crack that Perma Dry had repaired. We called Mike, and, after he thought it over, he suggested an interior French drain with sump pump. He quoted us a fair price and we accepted. He then sent a team out who performed the work. They were hard workers. Very professional and polite. Got the job done in two days. And they cleaned up after themselves. The city inspectors came out and said they'd done very good work. If you have water issues in your basement, save yourself some time, trouble, money, and hassle and call Perma Dry. Mike and his team will treat you well."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.

Costs depend on clog severity, pipe condition, equipment required, and labor.

Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.

Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.

Common drain issues include slow-running drains, whether in a sink or shower, clogged drains, a bad smell, and water backing up into a sink, shower, or bathtub. Causes range from hair, grease, roots, or toilet paper clogging the drainpipes to flooding outside the home, which prevents sewer lines from draining properly.

It’s sometimes difficult to distinguish a clog from a frozen drainpipe since ice technically causes a clog. If the temperature doesn’t tip you off, there are a few additional signs that your pipe is frozen. Look for condensation and frost around the pipes. Ice in pipes can cause a banging or clanking noise as opposed to a clog from a softer material.
