"I requested replacing a full drain pipe system. When they came, they only fixed the one part that was leaking, not the whole drain. They told me it would cost significantly more to replace the full drain, even though when they came out to bid it, I was very explicit on wanting it all replaced. The leak is fixed, but they also used a white pipe while the rest of the piping was black. They even told me they saw reviews the picture before coming, and still brought and use white piping. So now it is very mismatched."

"LJ was Very very helpful. Not like calling the larger companies where you get an operator who just makes an appointment or takes a message. My basement drain by the furnace was clogged & backing up. He gave me some basic tips to help troubleshoot & figure out what was likely going on. I probably fixed it myself after that but I still had him out to clean out the drain because we were going out of town the next day & I didn't want to take any chances. Good guy & I am grateful I connected with him."

"I needed to determine where the sump pump french drain ended and if it was clogged up. Two other people had attempted and advised me that I should dig and re-route the drain. They also stated the drain was crushed under ground. This did not satisfy me. I located Hydro Physics on the internet, filled out the requested information and received a call from John. John was great! He was very informative and answered all of my questions. He determined where the end location of the drain was. (Covered up with sod) Also, mud was clogging the drain. He removed the mud and referred me to a company, if I want to change the routing of the drain"

"Kalen was great! We broke the bathtub drain pipes while trying to replace the cover. Kalen came the same day and fixed it, even installing a panel for easier access in the future. Everything looks good and works well. Thank you very much!"

"Gash plumbing fixed a plumbing problem I have had for a long time. They corrected a drain issue in my yard that wasn't up to code. They brought it up to code for us and we have had no more problems."

"They were responsive. Texted me back immediately and when they missed my call they called me. They scheduled an appointment the next day and completed the repair in a timely fashion. The plumber that came out was respectful and clean cut and completed the job quickly with no problems. I love to support locally owned companies and since this company is only been in operation for about 2 years I would highly recommend them to any other customer in the area that might need plumbing work -- I live in Leawood Kansas."

"Friendly, thorough and Great work! Plus, the company I used to refinish my bathtub who required I put my new faucet and drain BEFORE the refinishing work could begin broke my new drain and stripped my new faucet spout. Thankfully, Taylor from Anthony’s Plumbing came back today and rescued me from my nightmare caused by the bathtub refinishing company (I will separately write a review of that company). While the bathtub refinishing looks good, they ruined my new plumbing they required . So, a huge Thank you to Taylor and Anthony Plumbing!!"

"I really had a problem with the drainage in my front yard from the sump pump and the drain that was buried to deep and the water wouldn't drain and just ran back into the sump pump causing it to run all the time. Nick and his crew installed a new drain and reconnected the sump pump drain into it and everything is fine now. His price was reasonable and fair. They did a great job replacing the sow in the front yard and it look great."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

No. You should never pour old paint down a drain or sewer because it can clog pipes and pollute the environment. You must dispose of paint properly and safely. Different types of paint need to be disposed of in different ways—oil-based paints must be taken to a paint recycling center, while you can throw dried-out water- or latex-based paints in the garbage. 

Air gaps get clogged by a few different means. Over time, food and grime can collect in the air gap, leading to a blockage. Mineral deposits from hard water are a common problem. Mineral buildup creates a film in the air gap and tubing, which can cause flow issues, as well as attract debris. Homeowners with hard water may want to remove mineral deposits regularly to keep the air gap clean and clear.

You’ll likely pay between $300 and $450 to unclog your toilet with Roto-Rooter. However, the price could change depending on if the clog has caused a lot of damage, which your plumbing pro will want to inspect during your service appointment. Keep in mind that you won’t get a quote from Roto-Rooter over the phone. They have to send a pro out for an in-person cost estimate. You can also attempt to snake your own clog for a lot less, and simple drain snakes cost no more than $50.

The best drain cleaners are biodegradable ones or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Strong, caustic chemicals may seem appealing with promises of unclogging your drain quickly, but liquid drain cleaners can cause damage to your pipes over time. Consider making your own drain cleaner with baking soda and vinegar.

You should inspect and clean your French drain at least once per year to keep it in good working order. Regular maintenance can help identify clogs, buildup, and damage before they become bigger problems, which increases the lifespan of your drain. The frequency with which a drain clogs can depend on factors like the amount of debris, the quality of the installation, and the type of filter used. If your drain accumulates a lot of sediment, it may require more frequent cleaning. It's also a good practice to check the access and exit points after heavy storms. If you notice reduced drainage or any signs of a clog, clean the drain as soon as possible.
