"I had to remove a closet wall that had both supply and drain lines in it from a second story laundry room. Warren and Sons moved the lines into an existing wall. They did great work, were delightfully polite, and were very neat. I plan to use them again on an upcoming job."

"Cannot recommend Alan with Lemonade Landscaping enough! He was quick to respond, give an estimate, and start the job. We definitely had a lemon situation with our first home purchased and our drainage system was failing. He helped diagnose our problem and came up with a solution. He worked so hard! He definitely went above and beyond. All of our drainage problems caused me a lot of anxiety because after just buying a house (less than a month!!) it’s hard to spend a bunch more on something super unexpected (more unexpected than 8 inches of rain in my crawlspace!). Alan’s prices were very good. The biggest thing - he was so patient with all our questions and fears of continued drainage issues. I’m excited for our first rain so we can come back and update what a great job he did. I’m sure of it!"

"My prior water heater, a 50-gallon tank, started leaking after 15 years. I called Streamline to confirm that it needed replacement, and to replace it. I was considering a tankless water heater already, and the first tech walked me through the pros and cons, then wrote up an estimate. Two additional techs came the next day to install the heater and the necessary gas and power lines. The only issue I had was that one of the newly installed gas fittings leaked gas into the basement. I shut off the supply valve and called Streamline, and they came out within half an hour to fix it at their expense. Mistakes happen, and I was impressed with how professionally they corrected that one."

"Brought in to investigate a leak. It turns out the leak was from a defective shower faucet cartridge. However rather than checking the source first the plumber made holes in ceiling (below). I think had he just turned on the shower faucet he'd found the issue and avoided the need for me to repair the sheetrock."

"Galina Woods and Steve worked on Saturday to correct the installation of a dehumidifier and drain pipe system in my crawl space. The system is now working. The exterior drain pipe is finally dripping water. Thanks Galina, you really knew how to correct the problem."

"Mauricio and his team cleaned our patio and rebuilt our back steps. They took the time to ensure it was done right and it looks amazing. They had originally done our patio pavers during the pandemic and reached out to work with them again. I highly recommend them for your project."

"Great! The work was done last November and I chose to wait a couple months to see if the fix would last over time. It did! They also had another drainage issue that I was unaware of. Fixed that too at no extra charge. I had 3 estimates. I picked Falcone because their solution made the most sense to me...and they had the lowest cost estimate. Great people to work with. They installed a french drain,a sump pump, and reran gutter downspouts."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, continuing to flush a clogged toilet is not likely to break up the clog. Instead, it will continue to put pressure on the clog while filling the bowl with more water, which can potentially cause the toilet to overflow—leading to an even bigger mess. Rather than repeatedly flushing, use a toilet plunger or plumber’s snake to dislodge the clog.

There are several steps you can take to prevent your AC drain from clogging. This includes cleaning the drain line at least every three months, changing the filter every one to three months, and getting your AC serviced annually. Also, if any problems arise with your AC, hire an HVAC technician to deal with them ASAP.

Professional tools include drain snakes, hydro jets, cameras for line inspection, and enzymatic or chemical cleaners for dissolution.

Coke and other sodas do clean a clogged drain, so this is one of those urban myths that has some truth behind it. Coke and similar sodas are caustic and will provide some cleaning power to your drains. However, the power of soda pales in comparison to dedicated cleaners or even baking soda.

Yes, hiring a drain cleaner is worth it, especially when compared to the cost of not being able to use a sink, shower, toilet, or bathtub and the potential damage that flooding can cause in your home. You might try a temporary drain cleaning liquid or snaking it yourself, but if the clog is out of reach or these methods do not work, then hiring a professional drain cleaner is the way to go.
