"It took two days to tear out the old insulation under the bottom floor and install encapsulation in the whole crawlspace. Nick and his crew did quality work getting the job completed. They also patched holes in the foundation, hauled off all the old, dirty insulation and torn vapor barrier. All-in-all a very accommodating crew."

"Micah, with Sturdy Homes built two porches for me. One 16x16 for a hot tub and another porch with steps coming off my back door (after removing the rotted one). The quality of his work, his professionalism and reasonable pricing make is excellent! Both he and his young apprentice were a joy to have on the property, worked efficiently and left my property cleaned up and ready to enjoy! I highly recommend Sturdy Homes! J Thompson"

"From the first call to the final follow up, this team exceeded expectations. They listened to my concerns about my collection of vintage furniture, too extra care to wrap/protect everything, communicated throughout, were a pleasure to be with on load and unload and gave me the peace of mind that I needed during this stressful time. They moved me all the way across the country. Darn near ocean to ocean. From door to door, they rocked. Satisfied doesn’t begin to tell the story. I’m in disbelief that they did what they did. All the thumbs up, all the stars, 10/10 recommend."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Professionals use augers, hydrojetting equipment, and cameras for precise clearing and inspection.

Drain fly problems can go away on their own—but only if the insects find the environment inhospitable. Those with a minor infestation can simply flush their toilets and run their faucets more frequently to flush out the flies and larvae. Others will have to deep clean their drains and set up traps.

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.

To unclog the drain pipe, remove the machine's drain hose from the pipe or sink drain, being careful to contain any water in it. Next, use a plunger for sink drains or a plumbing snake for a wall drain. Test the repair by pouring a small amount of water into the pipe before trying it with a laundry load.
