He also told me something interesting about how the cable had a cutter at the end of it so that there was the ability to cut through any debris and do a more thorough job of getting it cleared. He was here for about an hour and was friendly and polite. They told me at the office that it would be a cost of $205.00 because it was 6pm and that was after hours. That was a lot of money for me but I was grateful that there was no additional cost and the drain was unplugged.

Manu went up and above and was able to help the area temporarily by pushing some dirt, spreading mulch and sloping it properly. We will have to have him back out when we can have more dirt brought in. It was so nice that he did that for us because it would have taken forever with shovels! After the crew finished they cleaned up and other than the newly installed drains you would have never known anything was done. Manu is very knowledgeable in his craft and has many ideas but will not do something if he doesn't think you need to or just to make money. I am glad for Angies List that we found him.

French Drain Service reviews from real Angi homeowners in Milan, MI
Perfectly. All employees were competent, friendly, clean and interested in doing a good job. The faucets and drains have never worked better. And no doubt the sewer line will be better than the nearly collapsed Orangeburg that was replaced.

The water was drained, but I was told I need to have a new drain fitting to enable the use of a larger snake. The cost is something I can't afford at this time, so I am researching options at this time.

"Damaged tub, damaged toilet, damaged items in bathroom, left a mess everywhere in bathroom.

Re-entered a rental without permission or me present (and for a job we weren’t doing since the tech said it was a wax ring issue and they don’t do those, then trying to charge over $400 for it…then reattaching toilet…why would you do that if it has to be done again to fix the issue)? “Approving” jobs that were not approved by myself. Owner will not provide bond company/policy number (illegal). Techs don’t caulk all the way around the toilet (2x). Do NOT use this company!"

"Awesome company and customer service!! From the initial meeting with Greg (the owner) to the technician crew of Jayden and Robert for installation of a new HVAC system. I was impressed with the honesty Greg portrays to his customers. He really listens to what you want and need for your home. He does not try to over sell you in a system that is pricier than you want.
Jayden and Robert were friendly, respectable, courteous to protecting my hardwood floors, ready and able to answer my many questions. The whole team went above and beyond my expectations!! When i was questioning the connection of my ducts from a previous company - Justice Pro checked it out for me free of charge. When my water pressure was low after placing my whole house humidifier - Justice Pro did not leave until my entire family was happy!

French Drains questions, answered by experts
If you drop jewelry down your sink, it can cause a clog, especially if it accumulates other debris on its way down. However, that is the least of your worries if you drop your favorite jewelry down your drain. If your gold band goes tumbling down the sink drain, don’t panic—refrain from running more water down the sink, and follow the steps above.
Your garbage disposal is not draining because it might have a clog due to food waste, a foreign object, grease, oil, fat, or it may have a broken motor. When water doesn't flush out of the disposal, that's a key sign that your disposal has a clog or needs repair.
Unclogging a drain costs between $150 and $350 if you have a plumber come to your home. But that just covers the drains in your home. It can cost over $1,600 if there’s a main sewer line clog. If you’re able to use a snake or drain bladder on clogged drains, you can save money and leave the bigger jobs to the pros.
If you leave liquid drain cleaner for too long, it will start breaking down your drainpipes. The chemicals in these cleaners can cause cracks, corrosion, and leaks in your pipes. They can also damage plumbing fixtures and even cause environmental damage if left too long without rinsing away.
A professional drain cleaner is a plumber or specialized drain cleaner with the necessary tools to unclog drains and tiles to keep waste water flowing out to the septic tank or city sewer for processing. Keeping wastewater from backing up into your home helps keep you and your family safe from potential contamination and sickness. These pros can help resolve nearly any drain situation in a safe and efficient manner.
