"Came on one day notice on a Sunday with no extra charge and cleared out a clogged drain. It was not an easy job but it is a flat rate for the service and they did not up charge."

"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

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. 

Clearing typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the blockage size and location.

Sometimes, the drain is just too clogged—thanks, stubborn hair and soap scum. In this case, you’ll need a more powerful drain cleaner than you can DIY safely at home. But this doesn’t mean you have to choose a traditional drain cleaner. 

You can find biodegradable drain cleaners at your local home improvement store or online for those drains that need a little more oomph

While on the hunt for a formidable drain cleaner, the best options are non-chemical clog solutions that combine enzymes and bacteria.

Start by unscrewing the overflow valve, which is located on the wall of your tub between the floor drain and the tub spout. Gently insert a plumbing snake down into the pipe, move it back and forth, and pull it out. Remove any hair, debris, and soap scum that comes out with it. Repeat the process until the snake comes out clean, and then reinstall the cap on your overflow valve.

A clogged air gap can cause a dishwasher not to drain. There are, however, other potential issues that can lead to improper drainage. For example, if you have attached the air gap to a garbage disposal and forgotten to remove the knockout plug, wastewater may backflow into the dishwasher. Check that the air gap is installed properly, and then look for clogs in the air gap and dishwasher filters.
