"We have an old home that always had drain backup issues. We would call a plumber it seemed about every 5 months to clear a backup. After another backup, we called 2 companies prior to finding this one. R Mech didnâ t fix the issue at all after sending two technicians out. The second was Roto Rooter and they tried to unblock the drain without success, scoped the drain and said the main sewer line had to be completely taken out to fix the problem costing about $10k! Thankfully I called CJ and he was SUPER accommodating and came to our house in very short notice, found the issue with the camera, showed us everything that was going on, was able to puncture a hole through the roots, causing all the problems, so that we could at least function in our house. He was able to come out the NEXT DAY to dig up the bad line and replace it! I couldn't be happier to have this ongoing issue finally resolved for good and at a reasonable price! CJ was very professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Especially those dealing with the big name companies that are charging an arm and a leg! Heâ s honest and does exceptional work! Thanks again CJ!"

"Email communication was hit-or-miss.  Sometimes I would get an immediate response, other times weeks went by and I didn't get a response until I prompted them for an update.  The installer was polite and professional but several of the trim pieces were damaged on installation and the fit and finish is not great.  It took over a month to get the damaged parts replaced and one of the replacement parts is also damaged in the same location as the first piece.  It's not noticeable enough that it's worth taking another day off work to have it replaced again, though.  The caulk lines are not very even, the drain is not centered in the floor of the shower, and the trim piece around the shower handle is off-center as well.  I will admit that I can be fussy about these sorts of things and these may not be issues for other people but it's bothersome enough to me that I wouldn't use Re-Bath again.

"I had a basement full of water that needed to be emptied before an assessment could be made on options to avoid future problems. Travis arrived with pumps and got rid of the water. He was then able to determine further actions that could be taken. He is very easy to talk with and thorough in his suggestions. His quick response and action was greatly appreciated."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.

For homes with a septic tank, harsh chemicals like those found in drain cleaner or bleach aren’t recommended. Some chemical drain cleaners can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the septic tank or damage your pipes. For homes with a septic tank, you can choose drain cleaners specifically formulated for use with septic tanks or go with a drain snake. When in doubt, make sure you know who to call for a clogged drain

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

  • Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel

  • Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain

  • Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes

  • Open the drain

  • Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.

Main sewer lines can clog for several reasons. For example, if you regularly dump oil or grease down your drain, it could eventually block your line. Sometimes, tree roots can penetrate and grow inside old sewer pipes, creating a major blockage. Flushing bulky items (like paper towels, diapers, or baby wipes) can also clog your plumbing system.

If your dishwasher keeps filling with water at the bottom but doesn’t fill into the sink, the issue is likely due to a blockage within the dishwasher or drain. Regularly clean your dishwasher filter basket to ensure it’s not clogged with food, and run a vinegar rinse periodically if you have hard water to remove limescale buildup.
