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.

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 Rockwood, MI
Where do I start. If you like half *** work, sharp edges on your patio, boot prints in your patio, inconsistent color, then Mickey's your guy. He never answers his phone and rarely returns calls( until payment is due), so your "Phone call really ISN'T important to him". Mickey is very...

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.

French Drains questions, answered by experts
Yes, hiring a drain cleaner is worth it, especially when compared to the cost of not being able to use a sink, shower, toilet, or bathtub and the potential damage that flooding can cause in your home. You might try a temporary drain cleaning liquid or snaking it yourself, but if the clog is out of reach or these methods do not work, then hiring a professional drain cleaner is the way to go.
Drain clearing removes debris and clogs from drain pipes enough to allow water to drain properly. On the other hand, drain cleaning removes all of the material from the pipe so that water flows unrestricted, which is a longer-term solution. Your plumbing pro will be able to recommend the right service depending on the clog size, frequency of issues, and surrounding pipework.
To keep window wells from filling up with water, you need to stay on top of maintenance. Remove debris as it fills up, and regularly loosen the gravel at the base if it’s become compacted. You can also reslope your yard to make sure water flows away from the window well (and your home’s foundation), and you can even install a window well cover to prevent debris from building up. Installing an actual drainpipe at the base of the well can also prevent window well drainage problems.
You can pour hot water down your gutter drain to melt ice and keep ice dams from forming. If the problems persist, consider investing in heat cables to run in your gutters. Heat cables can adjust based on the surrounding temperature to keep ice thawed.
The frequency with which a French drain clogs depends on various factors, such as the amount of debris that enters the pipe, the quality of the French drain installation, the type of grate and filter used, and how often it is maintained. That’s why it’s recommended to clean your French drain at least once a year, whether it is clogged or not. This can prevent clogs and increase the lifespan of your drain.
