The original request was simply to move a shower drain over approximately 3' in order to install a new larger shower stall in a previously existing lower level bathroom. The project became significantly more complex when the flooring was removed and it was determined that none of the drain lines in the bathroom had been installed according to code.
In addition to the piping work that now needed to be completed - it was determined that because of the prior incorrect installation - the lines from the bath to the main line were totally filled with tree roots. During a meal break for the installers, a third crew member came in to clean out the line and confirm that the main was also clean all the way to the city line in the street.
What should have been a small 2 hr project expanded into an 8+ hour job which Brian and crew stayed on until finished late that evening. This allowed the next step in the rehab to begin the following day as originally scheduled. When completed, all the drain and vent lines in the space as well as a portion of the line from the adjoining laundry room was replaced and reset in the proper position. The guys were pleasant to work with and kept on the job despite the much larger than expected scope and longer time frame.
I will certainly call this team/company again for any future plumbing needs."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mn/shoreview/all-ways-drains-ltd-reviews-177250.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Pfeffer Plumbing & Heating Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MN","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"William K."},"reviewBody":"The garage floor drain was completely clogged.

The exhaust pipe routes up through the garage, and includes a pressure gauge on the pipe so I can quickly verify that the system is running. The quality of his work is excellent, and the system is unobtrusive and looks as good as a radon system can look. In the end, the system reduced radon levels to 0.7 pCi/L, well below the EPA's recommendation. Very satisfied--I highly recommend him!

Condescending and rude. Didn't know why the floor drain was backing up in my basement; but had all kinds of "possibilities", none of which he could help me with ("the neighbors sewage is backing up into my basement", "the manholes on the street are plugged up", blah, blah, blah). I'd be...

FAQs for french drain service projects in Altura, MN
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
