"Arrived on time. Gave recommendation to fix the gas line and the results were great. Looks good and no leak. Also worked on a laundry drain line. To replace it would have been overly expensive so he recommended replacing with a standpipe line to the floor drain. That also works great, and he also cut off and capped it. Courteous, professional and reasonably priced."

"I have a household of 4 girls and our bath drains have been slow forever. The Zoom Drain technician explained the situation and tested each fixture to analyze where the clog was and, sure enough when he snaked the sink line, the bathtub drain improved too. He also snaked the tub for good measure which I felt was nice of him. Ran lots of water to show improvement. Solid service."

"The plumber arrived on time. Several days before he arrived, I had already removed the toilet and cleaned the remaining old wax from the bottom of the toilet. I had also removed the old, rusted and falling apart metal portion of the old closet flange, and all of the old wax rings. A portion of the old closet flange, which appeared to me to be plastic remained glued to the 3 inch I.D. black ABS drain pipe. The plumber glued a new closet flange inside and on top of the remaining portion of the existing old closet flange. He screwed the new closet flange down to the subfloor in three places. The subfloor was rotted away where the fourth screw should have gone. It appeared that two of the screws into the subfloor tightened down, but the third screw could not be tightened very much due to the condition of the subfloor. I had purchased a new wax ring and bolts at Lowes, as I had hopes of replacing the wax ring myself, but due to the rusted away closet flange, I decided I needed expert help and call the plumber. The plumber's wax rings were cold from being in the truck, so we used the wax ring I had purchased which was at room temperature. Also, the bolts that hold the toilet down, that the plumber had, did not have threads that went all the way to the head of the bold. Therefore, he used the bolts that came with the wax ring I purchased, since the threads went all the way to the head of the bolt. He installed the new wax ring and bolts and then set the toilet. He tightened the bolts, but the toilet would rock from side to side. He placed wedge shims under the toilet and between the wedge shims and tightening the bolts got the toilet secure and not rock. I wonder that since he left a part of the old closet flange on the drain pipe, and then installed the new flange on top, that maybe the closet flange was sitting too high, therefore requiring the wedge shims under the toilet. The toilet has not leaked since he installed the new flange and wax ring. I guess I'm a little disappointed that I didn't receive a bit of a reduction in the $409.00 charge since I had already removed the toilet and old wax ring, cleaned up the toilet and the remaining portion of the old flange and provided the new wax ring and bolts. I have concern that due to the poor condition of the subfloor, and that wedge shims were required, that the toilet may start rocking and/or leaking in the future."

"This is a good company to deal with. James, the owner, was out within one hour to diagnose our problem. The next morning the technicians, Brian and Josh were out to take care of our drain issues. Brian made a point of showing me the camera footage of the main drain. The did a great job on the main and two other drains. They also cleaned up very well when they were done. Brian also noticed an issue with our bathtub stopper and fixed it without an extra charge. The pricing was transparent. They have a nice email notice system and called when they were on the way. The three men I worked with were all very professional and easy to deal with. I would not hesitate to use them again. Phil Lykens"

"I scheduled a 2-4 pm appointment earlier this week for Kirkwood Plumbing to come out and fix a toilet. I called to verify this appointment earlier today and was informed they "should be able to come" for the service. At 355 today, I received a call that a plumber could not make it that they could "try again Monday after 3." I informed her that I had to take off work for this appointment and this very inconvenient. Although we've had a good experience with them in the past, this experience is very annoying. Is this normal for plumbing companies to not make 'appointments.'? Update: a plumber came on Monday afternoon and promptly and professionally fixed the problem.

"Joel went beyond the project he was hired for and helped me out with a sink backup which conveniently happened the night before my scheduled toilet repair. Joel saved me having to have an appointment with a Maplewood Plumbing drain cleaner. I’m very happy with Maplewood Pliumbing!"

"plumbers were fast, efficient, put things back together and swept up debris. They however did damage 1 paneling board - looks like an elbow went in it in two places, cracked the paneling in two areas, which is now visible - bent in and cracked. They either did not see it or failed to mention...They worked fast, cleaned up, voluntarily placed an access panel for me, which I bought during their lunch break in the ceiling where a 8 by 8" square also had to be cut for the job. Left promptly, all was done professionally and efficiently... I only noticed this panel damage after they left. Now I will need to match- if I can- this exact panel and replace it) on my cost... The inspector asked -why they changed the pipe - lead drain arm- behind the dishwasher, connecting the mission band when it wasn't listed as work needed- mission band was listed. I agreed with the p-trap needing changing in addition to the mission band, the lead drain arm replacement, which added plenty to cost, the plumbers told me was needed. I was notified of the $79 show-up to location charge -after- the appointment was scheduled and plumbers were on their way."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

There are a couple of things you can do to help prevent your French drain grate from clogging. First, keep yard debris clear so it doesn’t wash into the drain and clog the grate. You can also install a screen or filter over the grate to prevent large pieces of debris from entering the access point.

You can unclog an AC drain line for free if you already have these household ingredients: water, vinegar, and rags. Alternatively, if you’d rather not deal with the mess, you can hire a pro to clear your drain line. If you go that route, an HVAC service call costs between $100 and $250.

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.

Bleach is generally not recommended for your shower drains. Although diluted bleach can technically help clean your drain, it will not unclog your pipes. In fact, bleach can harm your plumbing system because it’s so powerful. The bleach can change the color of your sink and even corrode metal pipes and fittings.

Often, people reach for bleach because it's already in their house. But it's worth getting a plunger or a drain snake for the job instead. It'll be a lot less money to buy a new plunger than to pay a plumber to repair or replace damaged pipes.

French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe. 

Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.
