"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."

"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"

"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!"

"Great. Had terrible rocky terrain. The guys worked hard. In the end, one portion of the drain was not working properly. They came back and dug the portion wider, filled it with additional gravel and drilled extra holes in the rigid pipe we requested. The drain works better than I had ever imagined. The back yard is now completely dry and usable."

"My brother and I went to Europe for two weeks to visit my uncle In Germany. I only had contact with my wife at home via email and texting using wireless internet when we stopped for the night at a hotel. On the 2nd night I was gone, I received an email from my wife stating that the air conditioner had stopped working. We had a service contract with another company, and they came out and told her that the compressor was dead and we would need a new system. They quoted her $5500. Ironically, a couple of days before I left for Europe, I had gotten a Big Deal email for $800 off a new air conditioning system from JT Dunn. I read the reviews and did some outside research, and they appeared to be a highly rated company. I had my wife call them to set up an appointment. They set it for the next day, and Brett, the owner, came out and spoke with my wife. She told me she immediately felt comfortable with him. He gave her a couple of different options in terms of price,size and quality of air conditioners, which she forwarded to me. Brett was very understanding of my limited ability to communicate, and responded promptly to my texts and emails for additional information. We decided to use them due to the quality of product and the price, which at $4200 after the Big Deal discount, was $1300 less than the quote from the company that had our service contract. They were able to expedite the installation appointment because it was getting very warm in our house. The technicians started the install, and Brett came by later to make sure everything was going well. While he was there, he noticed that the ducts coming out of the blower were very rusty on the inside. Surprisingly, he offered to replace several feet of ducting at no extra charge. He also ran new condensation draining lines and new PVC pipe to the outstide of the house at no extra charge. This work took him several extra hours, and would have cost at least a couple of hundred dollars or more if he wanted to charge us for it. My wife said he was there until late in the evening getting all of the extras installed. A couple of days after I got back from Europe, the unit stopped blowing cold air. I called JT Dunn and advised that I wanted someone to come out that evening and see what the issue was. Brett called me back and said he was doing a demo about 60 miles away, but if I could wait for him he could come over that evening. As I am a night owl, I told him whenever he could make it was fine. He kept me in the loop as to an estimated time, and ended up getting to my house at about 11:30 pm. This after working a full day and driving over an hour to get to my house. He diagnosed the problem as a leaking valve in the freon line (no problems with the compressors or any major components). He had one of his technicians stop by the Trane warehouse first thing in the morning, and they had the new valve installed by 8:30 am. We got a quality Trane unit at a great price, and it is very obvious that Brett sincerely cares about doing the job right, going the extra mile, and making sure the customer gets the best deal possible. I was very impressed with his professionalism and passion for making sure the customer is happy with the product and service, and am grateful for the speed at which they were able to get the new unit installed, and all the extra work they did for no charge.

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

Flushing the toilet only to realize it’s clogged can cause anxiety. To avoid a clogged toilet, use less toilet paper. If you notice that the toilet is flushing and refilling slower than usual, you can use a plunger to clear clogs in the S-trap. If that doesn’t work, call a plumber to check your system and possibly clear the drain lines.

Although linear drains allow water to flow quickly and efficiently, they tend to clog more easily than traditional drains. Linear drains are flush with the shower floor, allowing soap scum and hair to potentially build up. They’re also longer than other drains, allowing for more space to let debris fall into the drainpipe. 

You should hire a sewer service professional to unclog a main sewer line with tree roots. Tree roots can grow into the main sewer line, and this problem requires a specialized hydro jet, or rooter, that is powerful enough to clear the roots. The tree can also damage the main sewer line, and a professional will need to make repairs or replace the damaged sections. Sewer line replacement costs about $60 to $250 per linear foot.

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.

A small amount of diluted bleach is okay to pour down a garbage disposal. As part of your weekly garbage disposal maintenance, use 1 teaspoon of bleach with your concoction of ice cubes and lemon peels. Turn on the disposal and run the water until the blades chop up the ice cubes.

Any more bleach in your disposal can harden oils and greases in your drain, which can cause problems. Always wear gloves when working with bleach, and know that you really don’t need bleach at all—vinegar, baking soda, salt, and ice should do the trick.
