"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. "
"Mike M. giving the estimate and follow up to the actual work as great. He was really informative and gave me multiple options to work with to stay within budget and help me resolve the issue. I was super confident about getting the work done. After a week delay because the crew got stuck on a problem job. No biggie there. But when came time to do the work I found I should have gotten so much more in writing. I agreed to keep the dirt dug out because I was provided they would spread it on my side yard. Nope, I’m now sorting out how to spread this large pile and it’s ending up costing me more money and time. I also was under a different understand of where and how the sump pump would be draining than was actually the case. If I use them again I will definitely make sure whatever is agreed upon with the sales person is well documented in the contract."

"I went online to report the clogged drain. AHS contacted Bell's Plumbing in Atascadero, who called me the next day to dispatch a plumber same day. He arrived on time and cleared the clog in under an hour."
A good option for opening up and cleaning a sink drain is to use a ¼ cup of baking soda and 1 cup of white vinegar, along with a rubber stopper to cover the drain while those materials work their magic. After about 15 minutes, you can flush the drain with hot water. In many cases, these materials can scrub out minor clogs and get the drain working properly again. If the issue persists, call in a plumber near you to get the problem permanently fixed.
Most clogs are resolved quickly, often within an hour. More complex issues requiring pipe disassembly might take longer.
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.
With a one-way cleanout, you can access your sewer line from one direction. Depending on the way it curves, a plumber can either access the side of the pipe that goes into your home or the side that goes to your yard. On the other hand, two-way cleanouts allow pros to access both sides of the sewer line, thanks to their dual-pipe design (they’re usually U-shaped).
It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.
